I'm glad this was pointed out. I will try ESPN in the 9th, but even though I pay for Extra Innings, the Dodger's broadcast is obviously blacked out for meDeathofthebambino said:Sox and Rocks, you don't have Scully on ESPN?
Yeah; it's one thing for the players to be superstitious, but the announcers should often get over itoctoberaroma said:I liked how he pushes aside the whole superstition stuff.

do you have MLB.tv?LogansDad said:Fuck, I missed this watching a shitty fucking movie. Got to see the post game interview on MLBN... awesome for Kershaw, hopefully they play it again tomorrow.
Yeah, although, on the road, at sea level, without Cargo, Cuddyer, Aranado (all injured) and Morneau and Blackmon (getting the night off against a lefty), this Rockies lineup wasn't close to the one the stats suggestMadmartigan said:He did it against the best offense in the league, too. Pretty damn impressive.

If Morneau and Blackmon were playing he might have had 18 strikeouts.

I am, though, as I freely admit, butthurt over Greg Reynolds...
Gdiguy said:So here's a question for debate - as a pitching record keeping stat, why do perfect games require no errors? As a team feat it makes sense, but it seems that it's used much more now as a pitcher feat than a team feat
No walks sure; but basing it on your fielders not making an error is really kind of odd when you think about it... I'm trying to think of a parallel for hitters, like if a cycle only counted as a 'cycle' if you won the game
Also, that was absolutely filthy.

It was also fucking awesome. And fuck Hanley.
Merkle's Boner said:107 pitches and 15 Ks is ridiculous. Did he ever go to a full count even?
patinorange said:It's really a shame that most Dodger fans couldn't see the game.
What’s worse — rubbing the team’s good fortune in the faces of those who want to bask in it most (but can’t), with information that reads as if it was presented by a toddler of above average intelligence … or tweeting good luck to your pitcher a few hours after he lost that day’s game?

This guy in the front row of left field shot video at the game from batting practice onward, and uploaded a 13+ minute cilp. As camcorder vids go, it's pretty good once you get past the abrupt camera cuts and the occasionally obnoxious narration, and he definitely captured the drama and excitement.

His curve ball....I mean....what the fuck is that thing? It looks like it teleports.Red(s)HawksFan said:Here's every batter Kershaw faced condensed into 7.5 minutes, with Vin Scully on the mike. It's apparently the 19th no-no that Scully has called.

Of the 13 who managed to put the ball in play, nine of them hit the ball on the ground. One of the four balls hit in the air didn’t leave the infield. His FIP for the game was -0.24, because the model isn’t designed to handle dominance at this level.
