Pull him--no way I'd let him pitch to another batter.
― clemenza, Sunday, 13 October 2013 02:37 (ten years ago) link
Worked out...I wouldn't have let him stay in there. The something-something's not even an issue, since he won't be there at the end anyway.
― clemenza, Sunday, 13 October 2013 02:41 (ten years ago) link
He's got the bottom of the order in the next inning.
― timellison, Sunday, 13 October 2013 02:43 (ten years ago) link
I don't know how solid Detroit's middle relief is, but I don't think I'd send him out. He looked like he was really laboring those last few batters.

Not much talk from the Tigers fans who thought Peralta didn't deserve to be in the playoffs.

Avila willingly battered behind the plate all year but won't let a pitch catch his jersey with the bases loaded. Damn reflexes.

No, first time in the postseason.
First combination (near) no-hitter I've ever watched. I wanted to see it, though I didn't know who exactly I was rooting for.

The biggest story was almost 12 LOB for Tigers, or 1-11 RISP. Grateful for the rested Peralta. Thankyou-50-game-suspension!

According to Pitch F/X, West called five strikes out of the zone for both Sanchez and Lester. The two worst ones were in Lester's favor.

Right near the beginning, you can see Cookie Lavagetto break up Bill Bevans' no-hitter in the ninth:

Hmm that's quite the on-field celebration for 1947. Usually they'd just shake hands and run to the dugout after *winning* the WS.

Bleacher Report ranks '47 as the 10th greatest Series ever:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/903479-power-ranking-the-25-greatest-world-series-in-mlb-history/page/17
I'm guessing the on-field hysteria was some combination of the all-NY angle, Robinson's first year, and general post-war euphoria--lots of psychic energy out there. Between Cookie Lavagetto, Al Gionfriddo, DiMaggio, and Berra, was there ever a better Series for Italians?

Sanchez walked six last night; Bevens walked ten.
― clemenza, Sunday, 13 October 2013 16:49 (ten years ago) link
I bet the game took less than 2:30 too.
So will Peralta continue to be the postseason PED poster boy? Bet there'll be a lot less handwringing than if it had been The Centaur.
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 13 October 2013 18:57 (ten years ago) link
There's been no handwringing at all, on TV they mention it in passing as if he missed two months rehabbing an injury.

― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 October 2013 02:14 (ten years ago) link
i am the same as morbs, i can't watch a sports game without a rooting interest, even if i'm just choosing one at random because i don't care about either team. if the result of the game is gonna piss me off either way why would i waste my time, enough things piss me off already, *pursue a beautiful life*
also i've never had anything against the phillies, they were my dad's team growing up and their fans at least own up to being assholes. and 2001 was a great WS! it ended in jeter crying.
― ^^ post obviously honoring and supporting Qualcomm (zachlyon), Sunday, 20 October 2013 16:02 (ten years ago) link
and i usually don't have a problem with the WS bc the cards are the only NL team i really don't like. wld have no problem rooting for any other NL team vs BOS or NYY.
i do like beltran and i love koji, maybe i'll watch some games for them

yeah i like baseball so there's have to be better reasons than "both teams are gross" to not watch the world series. seems like a weird position. i mean, a couple years ago i would have dreaded a lakers/celtics finals, but i still would have watched it
― k3vin k., Sunday, 20 October 2013 16:33 (ten years ago) link
my concerns re sporting events where my fav team isnt playing
1. competitiveness2. quality of play3. style of play10. is teams i dont like in it (does not apply to yankees or lakers who i root hard against which is fun and cool)
can usually find someone to root for even if im not into either team tho
― lag∞n, Sunday, 20 October 2013 16:38 (ten years ago) link
i know there are tons sports fans who feel different, so many super hardcore sox fans wont even watch the playoff if theyre not in it, which always seemed weird to me but hey free country
― lag∞n, Sunday, 20 October 2013 16:39 (ten years ago) link
i mean, i apologize for being annoying, i have nothing against any of u for liking teams i hate
― ^^ post obviously honoring and supporting Qualcomm (zachlyon), Sunday, 20 October 2013 16:50 (ten years ago) link
i know someone who is a snotty diehard sports fan who just hates every single team, player or "story" that comes out of espn, the only team i know he roots for is the bills, which means he also hates his own team, and it's tiresome and i just want to tell him "maybe you should just stop watching sports for a while"
― ^^ post obviously honoring and supporting Qualcomm (zachlyon), Sunday, 20 October 2013 16:52 (ten years ago) link
This is how I invent my rooting interest when all else fails, I root for whichever team has the most players I like.

i would probably never not watch the finals or world series, football i think is a dumb sport but i watch occasionally just because everyone else does, i'd totally skip out on the super bowl if i didn't care about either team but there are always fun parties and food associated with that
