With a significant presence in cities such as Denver and Chicago that were hit hard, Southwest has said it has faced an outsize impact this week. We got only 119 games of Mike Trout mastery this year, but boy, did he make them count. He became just the fourth player to hit 40 or more homers in a season while playing fewer than 120 games. And he capped it off with a 490-foot home run for No. 40, his longest tracked by Statcast . Part of how a team wins 111 games like the Dodgers did is by having plenty of hits.
And when Pujols got to the plate in the first round, facing off against the top seed at Dodger Stadium, Kyle Schwarber from the Phillies, it seemed like that might be the case. Schwarber's finished with a total of 19, unable to catch Pujols and his total of 20. And with that, the number one seed Schwarber was bounced out of the Derby in the first round, bowing to the legend Pujols and further preserving his second-half swing. In Schwarber's swing-off, he came down down to his final second, with his final pitch needing just one more home run to stave of Pujols, but came up short.

In large measure because they were the victims of a combined no-hitter in Game 4, the Philadelphia Phillies came into World Series Game 5 against the Houston Astros without having managed a hit in 11 straight innings. Whatever pressures stemmed from that streak, they were perhaps heightened by the fact that the Astros pushed across a run in the top of the first of Game 5 to take a 1-0 lead. In January, Schwarber became the first to have his Middies' baseball jersey - No. 12 - retired, during halftime of a Middletown boys' basketball game that Schwarber attended at Wade E. Miller Arena.
The Dolphins have elevated wide receiver Braylon Sanders and offensive tackle Kendall Lamm from the practice squad for Sunday’s home game against the Green Bay Packers. One team came out on top in 2022, and it was the Chicago Wolves, who won their third Calder Cup and fifth championship overall. The Hawks great and three-time Stanley Cup champion saw his No. 81 retired and raised to the rafters of the United Center. “It is incredibly humbling to have my 81 forever hung here next to greats such as Glenn Hall, Pierre Pilote, Keith Magnuson, Bobby Hull, Denis Savard, Tony Esposito and fellow Slovakian Stan Mikita,” Hossa said. “I cannot believe it.” Fans even began a “Detroit Sucks” chant when he mentioned his former team. It wasn’t all bad for Chicago sports fans in 2022, no matter what you saw or read.
Phillies sign Kimbrel to one-year, $10 million deal
Speaking of Cardinals, Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright added to their storied legacy in the backstop’s final season. On Sept. 14, the duo made its 325th start as a battery, passing Mickey Lolich and Bill Freehan for the most common starting battery since 1900. The two ended ’22 with 328 total starts together – setting a high bar for any future pitcher/catcher duos that might dare challenge the St. Louis legends.

The anti-Vince Coleman, Schwarber leads off for the Phillies but has stolen just 10 bases. Schwarber shellacked 46 pitches for home runs this season, the most homers hit in the NL, while going deep in every 12.5 at-bats . He is 2 for 6 this season against Mikolas; he hasn’t yet faced Quintana.
Against all odds, that sent the 42-year-old Pujols through to the semifinals and an eventual matchup with Juan Soto. Schwarber was a terrific sport, though, showing respect and tipping his cap to Pujols. Whenever Albert Pujols was added to the MLB Home Run Derby, most just assumed it was a career achievement award more than anything.
Schwarber homer not enough for Phillies against Astros
St. Louis starter Lance Lynn went 5 1/3 innings in his first appearance since Oct. 2, 2015. The right-hander, who'd been out since having Tommy John surgery, gave up two runs and five hits. All season, the Mets were able to rely on Edwin Díaz, who struck out 50.2% of the batters he faced in ’22 -- that’s 118 of 235. He became one of just three pitchers to finish a season striking out more than half the batters he faced, minimum 40 innings pitched. He joined Aroldis Chapman from 2014 (52.5%) and Craig Kimbrel from 2012 (50.2%).
After missing the entire 2021 season while recovering from an October 2020 Tommy John surgery, Justin Verlander was back and, by many statistical measures, better than ever. His 1.75 ERA led MLB and was the lowest of his storied career. He won the AL Cy Young Award unanimously, becoming the first pitcher to win after throwing zero MLB innings the year prior. And the fun of the three-game series — but the frustration for managers — is the fact that two starters could be used out of the bullpen. And Jordan Montgomery is a talented lefty and Jack Flaherty has great swing-and-miss stuff. And another favorable stat for St. Louis is that in innings 7-9, Schwarber’s OPS is just .755.

Earlier in the game, after the starter is pulled, perhaps the play against Schwarber and Harper is the southpaw Steven Matz. And interestingly, rookie Zack Thompson has a 0.00 ERA against left-handed hitting this season. But if you’re choosing between the two lefties, you likely go with the veteran Matz. Schwarber struggled to find his groove and, after his bonus time, also ended with just 13 homers, thus forcing a 60-second swing-off between the two players. Schwarber started off hot, five of his first seven swings were home runs.
The photo evidence also disproves the A’s assertion that the ball landed in the Oakland Coliseum. Perhaps that explains why MLB’s Statcast data only had the ball traveling 419 feet while it seemed to the naked eye like it entered low orbit. That breaks a tie with Catfish Hunter for the most HR allowed by any pitcher in World Series history. When he played for the Chicago Cubs in 2018, he reached the Derby final and finished second to Bryce Harper.
