A friend of mine ended up randomly drinking with him once
along with a few other players, possibly Skip, a couple others I can’t remember. She knew some DJ at some club that was friends with one of them, and he invited her along to hang out. She didn’t know who any of them were. I literally had to sit down at the computer and show her pictures and ask “how about him, was he there?” I was kind of a little jealous.

This is only the 3rd time
That Wainwright has thrown over 120 pitches. He has thrown 110+ pitches 15 times including this one.
So far this year he has throw as many 110+ innings this year as last.
