row_33 Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) Cards at Brewers started with back to back homers and ended with back to back homers, Braun with the walkoff can’t recall that happening before in 4 decades of watching good game to tape and watch Edited April 4, 2018 by row_33
row_33 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Posted April 4, 2018 Confirmed the first game in MLB to begin and end with back to back home runs
row_33 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Posted May 3, 2018 Morton was on with his 3 to 9 curve and breaking ball for the Yankees a pitch to Didi started two feet off the right side and ended up in the centre of the plate, worthy of a dozen watchings
SinceThe70s Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 Paxton is the first Canadian pitcher to throw a no-hitter since 1945 and the first to throw one in his home country.
row_33 Posted May 9, 2018 Author Posted May 9, 2018 was informed that the 1 hit and 18 strikeouts combined by starters (at that stage) in a Yankees/Astros game was a first last week Dick Fowler threw the other Canadian no hitter in 1945, for the Philly A's against the St Louis Browns.
row_33 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Posted May 10, 2018 JD Martinez hits a potential double but runs into Chapman obstructing at first base, wasn’t really gunning for two and ump’s discretion holds him to a singlep the D obstructs and the O interferes, catchers interference is an acknowledged misnomer.
SinceThe70s Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 I was at the Mets game last night and saw something that was new to me. In between pitches Amed Rosario would circle around the runner taking a lead off second. I had no idea what he was doing until the guy sitting in front of me clued me in. He was blocking the runner so he couldn't steal the sign from the catcher. https://elitesportsny.com/2018/06/01/new-york-mets-news-jason-heyward-yells-at-amed-rosario-for-sign-block/
row_33 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Posted June 4, 2018 Good one. Pirates hit back to back triples at the Cards last week, that’s got to be very rare.
SinceThe70s Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 Probably not what you had in mind row, but this is definitely something I've never seen. Bad enough the home plate ump was asleep at the wheel, but the first base ump too? Might be more than meets the eye going on here.

row_33 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Posted July 24, 2018 very very nice!! anything goes on this thread if it's unusual or really ticked you off where's Delmon these days?
row_33 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Posted July 25, 2018 ————- mets used a contingent 4th out to end an inning bases loaded with two out, single to left scores one and the next runner is out at the plate, catcher throws to third to get a 4th out on taqhe trail runner replay overturns the call st home, run scores and 4th out ends the inning
SinceThe70s Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Couldn't decide whether this fit better here or in the Mets thread, but the day after Jose Reyes gave up 2 HR's in the Mets 25-4 loss, he hit two the following day. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/24256733/jose-reyes-new-york-mets-makes-history-two-home-runs-loss

SinceThe70s Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Bottom 9, two outs, Cubs hit a walk off grand slam to win 4-3. I did this a ton of times growing up except it was a 3-2 count and in the world series. 1

SinceThe70s Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 This isn't that surprising but I don't remember ever seeing the 4 outfielder "softball" alignment in the majors. https://www.mlb.com/cut4/twins-use-four-outfielders-to-get-jose-ramirez-out/c-292637118 1

SinceThe70s Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 2 minutes ago, row_33 said: A Rover in the OF? No, they actually went 4 wide...LF, LCF, RCF, RF. The overshifts we see with the 2b in short right is closer to the rover mentality.
