MLB 2022: The Long and Winding Thread

I remember him doing that too. The Mets were playing the Cubs one time and he went into his home run call on a ball Jody Davis hit. It was caught by the shortstop on the back of the infield dirt.

 

Correction, Ron Fairly did the opposite on the last out when Giants clinched division in’87.

He called it a pop up initially that ended up with the LF catching it on the warning track.

 

Thinking more about the Kershaw game, pulling him was probably the right thing for the pitcher and the team, but it was the wrong thing for baseball. Baseball lore grows on special moments, and few are more special than a perfect game.

 

I guess this has been known for a month now, but one of the less-publicized major changes from the new CBA is the elimination of Game 163 tiebreakers.
Boo.

 

Thought for a sec this is because the have to add games to the end of the schedule that were supped to be played the first week due to the lockout. Guess not.

Boo indeed.

 

I think the Phillies' Harry Kalas was considered legendary for premature home-run calls, too.

 

They're ten deep in playoff teams.
The 163rd game not really special any more.

 

Sterling's been an irredeemable asshole for decades. People were rightly ripping him on WMCA 40 years ago, and he screamed at them. Yankees broadcast teams not what you want in #1 market.

 

They ought to put in a provision that if there's a tie for the FINAL playoff berth in a league (#6) then both tied teams show up at the home field of #3 at 1 pm of the first day of the wild card series, play a one-game knockout game, with the winner playing #3 immediately (20 minutes later) to follow.

 

They'd never cough up the extra playoff gate for the sake of the fans.

 

As it is, they're not going to get the extra playoff gate anyway-- they're gonna settle it in the scorebooks.

Under my plan, they get to sell teevee ads for a Game 163.
