    Giants' starting pitchers in their first two games: Cobb and Webb. (Not in that order.)

    Only 6 players in MLB history have had the first name “Nolan.”

    Four of them came up playing 3rd base. (Arenado, Gorman, Jones, Fontana). Only one (Reimold) started out as an outfielder.

    And one one was a pitcher - the infamous Nolan Swancy.


    And the one you’re thinking I somehow omitted from this actually used his middle name - Lynn Nolan Ryan…

    So 38.5% of the letters in his name are 'n'.

    That’s why his parents chose that name…

    Cleveland rookie starting pitcher Peyton Battenfield.

    Kudos to him for making the big leagues, but with that name it's a little unfortunate he's not a position player.

    Check that - starter/reliever. Almost like I jinxed the guy.

    Battenfield is also a good name for a hitter who doesn't use pine tar.

    Too bad it wasn’t Robert Davidson.
