Harold, he slows down because diving slows you the fuck down.  Sweet Pedro, how the hell is this man getting any airtime?  How much did they have to bribe the production assistants to keep him on set?

I mean he should be ruled out for diving, nevermind if the ball beat the runner.
If I owned a team any player that slid into first would have to spend a week sleeping in the bullpen all night.

The cradle of the game.

I always thought you listened for sound with the catch, not the foot. You're listening for the pop of the ball in the mitt, and looking at the base to see if the runner touches before or after you hear that pop.
That's correct.

The debate shouldn't over shadow that it easily could have been first and third, noone out

I thought this too. Seems impossible to differentiate between two sounds that are coming within a fraction of a second of each other.

Reportedly, Don Denkinger said he couldn't hear the ball hit Worrell's glove when he missed the call in the '85 WS.

The defense these two teams offer up is pretty damn impressive.

If your team has to be out of it, this is as good as it gets. Two likable teams and no angst.

That play by Panik was a 1.7 run shift in run expectancy. Would be great to have Kapler in the booth to actually add something like that to the broadcast.
 
Better

Interestingly, Denkinger was the ump behind the plate for the 1978 playoff game at Fenway and he did a very good job.
 
 
He was the crew chief in '85 WS.

Predictable. Pence would be the easy MVP choice if Bum hadn't gone all beast mode.
