The old saying: "You learn something new everyday".
The thread for useful/useless/random/historic/odd/weird/hot/cold stats. I've seen stat gems lost in the GDT and others, so this is the perfect place to put it just so people might've missed it or not seen it.
Note: If there's a stat about a specific game, feel free to post in that game thread after the game and in this thread.

From Fangraphs:
Here’s the simplest way to get right to the point. The Baseball-Reference Play Index allows us to search through games since 1914. Since 1914, there have been some thousands of games in which both starting pitchers allowed no more than one run. There have been 2,914 games in which both starting pitchers allowed no more than one run, while lasting at least eight innings. There have been 21 games in which both starting pitchers allowed no more than one run, while lasting at least eight innings, and recording double-digit strikeouts. There has been one game in which both starting pitchers allowed no more than one run, while lasting at least eight innings, and recording double-digit strikeouts, without a single walk. Alex Wood and Jose Fernandez combined to do that which had never been done.
So yeah it sucks that we lost but last night was just awesome pitching on both sides.
