Oscar Gonzalez does not live in a pineapple under the sea, but he does use the SpongeBob Squarepants theme song as his walk-up music. And we’re convinced that somehow gave him the powers to end the longest scoreless postseason game in Major League Baseball history on Saturday.
Game 2 of the series between Gonzalez’s Cleveland Guardians and the Tampa Bay Rays was a real pitcher’s duel. Eight Tampa Bay pitchers combined for 19 strikeouts, and eight Cleveland pitchers fanned 20 batters. And so, the game went to the 15th inning with zero runs between the two sides – disappointing the folks who the bet the over on the 5.5 run total.
