A guy named Greg Maddux from some knock-off league once said, “Hitters don’t hit home runs, pitchers throw them.” Well said!! And we here at The WaWa have found the same is true of walkoffs so let’s get to the dregs…THE 2063 SILVER GOAT AWARD
1. Steve McFarland (SA) - 61. Nelson Middlebrooks (AUS) - 6
(tie) Ford Prefect (LOU) - 5^^
(tie) Giustino Modica (NSH) - 5
(tie) Mario Santos (BOI) - 5^^
2. Richard Lawrence (CHI) - 5^
Louisville (3-8) closer Ford Prefect and Boise’s (10-8) Mario Santos made late charges up the Silver Goat leaderboard, but the decision comes down to a guy who locked down early Silver Goat defeats and a guy who defined 2nd half surrenders.
Steve McFarland
76 G, 2-14, 36 SV, 3.35 ERA, 107.1 IP, 1.9 K/BB, 1.16 WHIP, +0.6 WAR
The tie atop The Silver Goat 2023 standings is decided by a derpoff with one losing run coming on the wings of a wild pitch.
