sacredheart Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 No talk about Petit setting the consecutive hitless innings streak? I think that is more impressive than Kershaw's scoring run he had this year. Brevity38 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 No talk about Petit setting the consecutive hitless innings streak? I think that is more impressive than Kershaw's scoring run he had this year. Kershaw is dominant. Petit is a serviceable reliever who had a lucky streak. Some records are also just not considered as important. I don't remember people making a gigantic deal about Buehrle either. Scoreless innings streak is much, much more coveted.

Considering he did it both in relief and in starts and was able to bounce back and forth between the two and still keep teams from getting a hit Id say it is pretty damn impressive.

thebiglebowski Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It is impressive, but it's like Charlie Blackmon going 6 for 6 or Fernando Tatis hitting 2 grand slams in an inning -- when a nothing player does it, it's assumed to just be a stroke of luck and no one is going to dwell on it for a long time. Nice story for a day or two. That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Or a Philip Humber perfect game. That's another good comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacredheart Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 And the Phillies complete the no hitter on the Braves. I was bummed to see Hamels come out after 6 but there was no way his pitch total would allow him to complete the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 cannot believe the brewers have been in first since april 5th until today. told my co-workers that th entire season would come down to september back in April when the Pirates went 0-30 (or what seemed like). this is going to be a fun month of baseball!

Nice story for a day or two. That's it. Well said. I agree with everything you've said about Petit's streak. Great examples by the way. I remember earlier this year people were getting excited and a hard on for Chisenhall after his 3 home run 9 RBI game. Sure, it was an impressive game, but I have never thought that he was anything more than a journeyman infielder. He just just a had really hot game and a nice couple of weeks, ie Domonic Brown to name another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I Remember watching the Tatis game....and will probably be one I'll never forget. Easily one of the coolest game experiences I have ever had and I wasn't even there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacredheart Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I never said that Petit was great, just that the streak is pretty insane and thought there would be more buzz around it. Considering he came within a strike of a perfect game before, I think it is safe to say that Petit can at least get himself dialed in and be pretty unhittable.

Guest Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 i read the stadium's policy on bags, and it kind of side steps addressing backpacks. Each Guest is welcome to bring one bag into Yankee Stadium provided the bag is soft-sided (e.g., diaper bags or small purses) and its dimensions do not exceed 16 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches as stipulated by Major League Baseball security regulations. Briefcases, coolers and hard-sided bags and containers are not permitted. All bags will be thoroughly inspected before they are permitted into the Stadium. Bag- size bins will be used at inspection points, and bags and their contents must fit without assistance, modification or adjustment. There is no storage area for any items that do not meet security requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFuckingPowers Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 You should be good. I used to go right after work when I worked in Manhattan and they were cool with it. Citi field is cool with it as well. Welcome to NY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 i'll definitely be taking a trip to citi soon. it's only 20 minutes away, and i got all sorts of giddy when i drove by today. the only bummer about tomorrow is that i can't watch football! nevermind.. somehow, it's a 90 minute train ride from me. can't even begin to wrap my head around the bronx being 40 minutes quicker by subway than queens.

lampwick Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Kershaw has gotta be the NL MVP, right? Maybe Stanton but the team. If not Clayton, who? Hunter pence? If it ends up being a position player, and the Marlins make a run then it's definitely Stanton. Depending on the same for how their teams do, I think Posey, McCutchen, Freeman have slim outside chances. and just for comparison sake because I don't think Freeman has been brought up a lot, here are his stats side by side with Pence (through today). He has about 40 less at bats and doesn't really compete in the speed categories. R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB AVG OBP SLG OPS Pence 101 172 29 10 19 69 12 .297 .349 .479 .828 Freeman 89 156 38 4 18 70 2 .289 .387 .475 .862 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Funny how things change -- Detroit not a lock to even take a wildcard spot Not sure if this is supposed to be a zinger or something, but it's been obvious for a while. Tigers were the best team in baseball a quarter of the way into the year but the remainder has not been good at all (May be below .500) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
