It’s like if the San Diego Chicken and the Philly Fanatic had a baby that was raised by Max Patkin. Grab a hot dog and an adult beverage and ”let’s play two!”","last_synced_at":"2026-08-02T10:19:27.759389+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/two-strike-noise-a-baseball-history-podcast-594073"},"episode":{"title":"Episode 318 - An Orel History of A Scoreless Innings Streak","slug":"episode-318-an-orel-history-of-a-scoreless-innings-streak","published_at":"2026-05-30T19:55:03+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/two-strike-noise-a-baseball-history-podcast-594073/episode-318-an-orel-history-of-a-scoreless-innings-streak","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/two-strike-noise-a-baseball-history-podcast-594073","url":"https://twostrikenoise.podbean.com/e/episode-318-an-orel-history-of-a-scoreless-innings-streak/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/eia8ggvagszagc94/Episode_318_-_An_Orel_History_of_A_Scoreless_Innings_Streakb806d.mp3","summary":"The mailbag delivers. Listener emails this week include a baseball honeymoon, a Jeopardy-funded wedding (not a typo), and a fan who shipped over APBA game materials and a stack of 1972 Topps cards. That last one matters by the end of the episode. In BP, Jeff and Mark work through the week's oddities: batters watching their own strikeout replays in real time, the phrase \"circuit clout\" making a comeback, Elmo showing up in the Phillies booth alongside John Kruk, Jazz Chisholm wearing Giancarlo Stanton's pants to break a slump, and a genuinely strange roster trivia note involving the Marlins, Cardinals, and Twins. The main segment is 1988. Specifically, what happens when a pitcher gets so locked in that the league starts to feel likeit's 1968 all over again. Orel Hershiser threw 59 consecutive scoreless innings that year — breaking Don Drysdale's record — and won the Cy Young while doing it. Jeff puts it in context against Bob Gibson's 1968, the last time people seriously asked whether pitchers had broken the sport. The episode closes with Wax Pack Heroes, using the 1972 Topps cards the listener sent in. 00:00 Cold Open and Welcome00:18 On Location and Mariners Talk01:31 Mailbag Honeymoon Baseball Stories04:15 APBA Surprise and Wax Packs07:19 BP Big Screens and Circuit Clouts09:11 Elmo in the Broadcast Booth10:52 Jazz Chisholm Wears Stantons Pants13:22 Weird MLB Three Team Trivia15:01 NCIS New Orleans Baseball Cameos16:54 Year of the Pitcher Part Deux44:35 Wax PackHeroes01:07:10 Thanks Plugs Signoff Connect With UsYouTube: www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoiseTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoiseBlueSky: @twostrikenoise.bsky.socialEmail: twostrikenoise@gmail.com Support a Great Cause: Don't let your common cards collect dust!
