Friday, November 13, 2026 — Gaylord Perry’s Pitching Theater Takes the Spotlight, and Gold Glove Voting Needs More Data

From The Daily Diamond Buzz Show · 09:18

Show by Baseball Nation Network

Let me be straight with you: there are no MLB games scheduled today, so I’m not going to dress up an empty scoreboard or pretend we have matchups that do not exist. There are no starting pitchers to break down, no late innings to revisit and no final scores to deliver. That gives us a clean Friday to step back from the nightly rhythm of the season and appreciate the larger baseball conversation. The Daily Diamond Show is still about showing up every day and talking baseball honestly, and honesty today means the scoreboard is blank. So instead of forcing a game angle, we’re using the space to remember one of the sport’s great pitching characters and to debate how baseball should evaluate defense. No manufactured drama, no imaginary urgency. Just a legendary right-hander, a fresh opinion and another day with baseball on the mind. Did You Know? In his only Major League appearance on August 4, 1945, Washington Senators pitcher Joe Cleary recorded one out while allowing seven earned runs, five hits and three walks, leaving him with a career ERA of 189.00. Dean's Take: Gold Glove voting should give advanced defensive metrics half the weight Everything Baseball. Every Day. Every Era. — Baseball Nation Network
