MLB: Twins vs. Sox 7/28 (Buehrle perfect through 5)

[jtd9046]

Tied 0-0.

Buehrle just set the MLB record by retiring 42 consecutive batters, now at 43.

Here's to me jinxing this!!!

 

[CrossCyed]

ha, this is ******* unreal.

 

[jtd9046]

Huge game for both teams... Baker has a high pitch count for only allowing 3 hits thus far.

Twins announcers just brought up an interesting question. Would Gomez be looked down upon for trying to bunt on next inning? Posednik just tried in their half, would it be different if Gomez tried?

Not for any other player. I just ******* hate Carlos Gomez.

yeah, if he bunts for a hit next inning, its whatever.

DYE!

 

[jtd9046]

And the Twins Achilles heel comes again, giving up the HR in close games.

 

[CrossCyed]

45 consecutive batters retired, ended with a walk.

 

[CrossCyed]

Classy standing ovation from Twins fans.

 

[BigSkyCy2]

There goes the no-no.

Nice 45-straight though. Very impressive.

 

[CrossCyed]

******* scott podsednik in the field.

 

[CycloneErik]

How close to a record is 45 straight? I don't believe I've heard of anyone going that far before.

He can still have the no-no, so that's cool.

45 was the record. No-no was broken up on the next batter after the walk.

At least he got a record no one's touching for quite a while.

Jim Barr and Bobby Jenks had the old record at 41.

Still one of the most amazing things in the sport of baseball.

Did Jim Barr pitch for the White Sox, too?

 

[jtd9046]

That was fun to watch. Glad to have a game now, but that was unbelievable by him.

LOL, no clue who he played for.

Buehrle all of a sudden with no control.

He actually retired 48 in a row if you want to count his All-Star inning too.

The no-control thing is probably about right after a huge streak like that ends. The mental letdown has to be tough to deal with.

I don't remember, but how was Hershiser after his scoreless innings streak finally ended? He did great in the playoffs, but I don't remember how he did immediately after the streak ended.

1st & 3rd, 7th inning - time for a run and then the Matt and Joe show.
