So I was wondering the other day if there were any games where a fielder played all nine innings without ever touching the ball (obviously ruling out the pitcher and catcher by default). I didn't really know how to look this up so I went straight to Anibal Sanchez's 17 strikeout game since fewer balls in play means better odds. As it turns out, in that game shortstop Jhonny Peralta never touched the ball on any play. He could have laid down on the field and taken a nap and nothing would have changed.

He did however get two hits and two walks. Now I'm wondering if there was ever a game where a position player never touched the ball defensively and had zero impact on offense.

Dude this is way up Effectively Wild's alley, you should reach out to them to see if they can do this on the podcast

So is it a joke or are you earnestly going for the "He's pulling a Durant" take that's all the rage right now? :confused:

He's not pulling a Durant because the Marlins are poo poo and he didn't lose in the NLCS to whoever he joins, which is what pulling a Durant would be. Those ideas are stupid, he's just maximizing his NTC. All he's doing is saying who he wants to go to, which reads like a lovely eight year old's favorite baseball teams (the ones that have been popular since he's been conscious of the sport, which is the joke why am I still explaining a throwaway joke what has my life become)
