Heh, definitely before analytics.
Why did I see a Fetterman ad here in Texas during the game?
It was actually a fundraising ad. It was a pitch for money.
Uh huh...thought so.
The same ones saying "big whoop" to this no-hitter are prolly the same lot that say "needs more range time" when a concealed carrier shoots (but doesn't kill) a bad guy and defends his family.
Game three was originally supposed to be played on Monday but it got rained out so they shifted all the games back a day. So the Game six of two weeks ago is probably now an off day.
[“...Is everyone else clean?”
But, Mom, they did it too!]
Bull! Starting Pitcher, nobody throws 9 innings.
In Houston.
Yes..as far a the series history is concerned..that was unreal.
I think I told you we knew a former Major League ump that never got to call a no hitter in the majors. He said that after he called my brothers that the greatest thing that could ever happen to a major league ump is to call a no hitter.
He said that the umps he knew that did, it took them a while to recover from the excitement. Said that NOBODY, would talk to ANYBODY after about the 7th or 8th inning.
Imagine them thinking...dont miss a strike call.
I was there the night the Astros blew you guys out, at Minute Maid.
Tied series, now.
Excellent, indeed. ;-)
The Babe threw 4 pitches in the game and is credited with a combined no hitter.
The Babe kicks off baseball’s first combined no-no, 103 years ago today
June 23, 2020
Babe Ruth and Ernie Shore combined for major-league baseball’s first combined no-hitter, 103 years ago today.
Ruth got the start for the Boston Red Sox during the first game of a Fenway Park doubleheader on Saturday, June 23, 1917, but the Babe grew increasingly agitated with home plate umpire Brick Owens as he walked Washington Senators lead-off batter Ray Morgan on four straight pitches.
As Morgan took his free pass to first base, Ruth continued jawing with Owens, according to Boston Globe sportswriter Edward F. Martin.
“Get in there and pitch,” the umpire ordered.
“Open your eyes and keep them open,” Ruth yelled.
“Get in and pitch or I will run you out of there,” Owens warned.
The Bambino threatened to punch Owens in the nose, and Owens had heard enough. When Owens gave Ruth the heave-ho, Ruth charged home plate and threw a right hook that glanced off the ump’s mask and landed on his left ear.
A scrum ensued, and Red Sox player-manager Jack Barry dragged Ruth off the field and gave the ball to Shore, a dependable right-hander who had thrown five innings two days earlier. Shore took the mound in an attempt to bring some calm to Fenway. After Senators third baseman Eddie Foster stepped into the box, Morgan took off to steal second on Shore’s first pitch. Replacement catcher Sam Agnew, who subbed in for the also-ejected Pinch Thomas, fired down to the bag to notch the game’s first putout.
Shore retired Foster and proceeded to send Senator after Senator back to the dugout, facing the minimum 26 batters en-route to a 4-0 win nicknamed the “imperfect game.” It was actually commonly considered a perfect game for years until it was later reclassified as baseball’s first combined no-hitter, with Ruth contributing 0 innings and Shore 9.
The Larson game was actually a perfect game which is rarer than a no hitter. Expanding it to all post season games this would be the 3rd as there was one by Roy Halliday in a non world series round.
He said that the umps he knew that did, it took them a while to recover from the excitement. Said that NOBODY, would talk to ANYBODY after about the 7th or 8th inning.
I can sure understand that!
Very cool.
Harvey Hadix. He pitch one complete and 3 and a half innings in one game.
Just joshing ya..

Saw it here in Alaska too...
I suspect these “armed observers” were FIBs on a mission to have just this type of Court ruling issued five days before those boxes are due to be loaded up with harvested “ballots”.
At the ball park?
+++++
Talking about mistakenly posting on the wrong thread, this was a major one!
Sorry for the interruption. Carry on with the game! LOL!
Everything the Biden’s touch turns to crap.
