I'm hoping to see this thread up throughout the season so I can see weird or interesting things that I've might've missed.
Ill start it with something not that odd, but I don't see happening too often.

4/26/2016 -
From Mark Bowman (MLB.com)
As of last night's action, the Atlanta Braves -
  • Have gone 14 straight without hitting a HR. The longest streak since Sept 11-26 1970.
  • There are 93 BLers with as much as or more HRs than the entire Braves team (3).
  • 3 of the 5 teams in the Braves organization were in action last night and - all - got shut out being outscored 10-0

The Miami Marlins became the first team in MLB history to use three different pitchers in a shutout who failed to record an out. All in one inning, and they each walked the one batter they faced.
