More plunking
The definitive guide to 103 HBP ... a few notable items:
• Seriously high leverage: 44 of the 103 HBP came on two-strike counts!
• The record was set despite Sizemore and Garko combining for 11 fewer HBP than they did in 2007.
• Verlander hit an Indian six times, twice as many as any other pitcher.
• The Tigers hit the Indians 21 times, next highest team only had 12. The Indians hit the Tigers only 7 times, and probably three of those were intentional. Five different Tigers delivered their first career HBP to an Indian this season.
• Out of 72 different pitchers plunking an Indian this season, not one was a former Indian, unless you count Foulke.
