Monday Darvish Perfect Game through 5 with 10 K's IN-GAME

[KowboyKarl]

Yu mowing em down at Minute Maid today...

 

[KowboyKarl]

So would there be an asterisk next to this if he gets it done since it is against a AAA team?

 

[KowboyKarl]

So the countdown begins...

ASStros up bottom of the 6th...

12 outs to go...

Can he get it done?

 

[KowboyKarl]

11 outs to go

 

[KowboyKarl]

Jake Elmore (who???) at the plate...

 

[KowboyKarl]

10 puts to go

 

[KowboyKarl]

Jonathan Villar (who???) up now...

 

[KowboyKarl]

Full count

 

[KowboyKarl]

There goes the perfect game... Walk

No-hitter still I'm effect

 

[KowboyKarl]

Rex... I mean Robbie Grossman (who???) at the plate

 

[KowboyKarl]

K... 9 outs to go... 0 hits, 12 K's through 6 for Yu

 

[JumpOnBoard]

aren't the stros the team that yu lost the perfect game to earlier this eyar with two outs in the ninth?

 

[KowboyKarl]

I vaguely remember that...I think you're right. Gonna check his game logs real quick.

 

[KowboyKarl]

Yep...first start of the season, April 2nd.

Went 8 2/3, 1 hit, 14 K's

 

[austinhous]

Pierzynski got thrown out arguing with the ump after the walk that ended it.

 

[JumpOnBoard]

Ron Kulpa gonna Ron Kulpa.

 

[KowboyKarl]

Really? Interesting...

Cool...on MLB Network now.

 

[KowboyKarl]

Now I wanna see a replay of that ball 4 call.

 

[KowboyKarl]

Marc Krauss up...

 

[KowboyKarl]

8 outs to go... Almost a collision in shallow left on a lazy fly ball.

 

[KowboyKarl]

7 to go

 

[KowboyKarl]

Chris Carter up

 

[KowboyKarl]

On that walk...it was the 2-2 pitch that shoulda been strike 3. Both Yu and Pierzynski were heading to the dugout when Kulpa called it a ball.

 

[JumpOnBoard]

it wasn't blatant bad call...aj never gets the benefit of the doubt from me...also harold reynolds is an idiot saying ump should call the game with the perfect game in mind

 

[KowboyKarl]

K...6 outs to go

 

[JumpOnBoard]

it was borderline...like 20 other pitches in every game imo

 

[KowboyKarl]

Agree...you call the game the same way you should call every other game.

 

[KowboyKarl]

It was borderline... I woulda called it strike 3 myself. The ball dropped but I think it was in the zone when it crossed the plate.

 

[JumpOnBoard]

 

[Inspekdah]

Strike, easily

 

[Lareux]

it was borderline...like 20 other pitches in every game imo

Yeah, it was borderline. After seeing the replay again from the video posted, it's definitely understandable that it was called a ball.

 

[Inspekdah]

He called fastballs that hit below the knee strikes all game. Let alone a ball that finished there and broke 2 feet.

 

[bones]

no way to 'no hit' my mighty 'Stros.....never.

thx for update, just turned game on at office

 

[Inspekdah]

Should be an asterisk on any no hit bid vs a few teams. This lineup today for the Astros might be worst starting lineup in baseball history.

 

[Lareux]

He called fastballs that hit below the knee strikes all game. Let alone a ball that finished there and broke 2 feet.

Fair enough. It was still a borderline pitch, could have gone either way.

 

[Inspekdah]

Agree it's borderline but it was out of character for the way he had been calling game.

 

[KowboyKarl]

Same exact pitch on strike 1 of this at bat...and it was called a strike.

 

[Inspekdah]

2 of them lol

 

[Inspekdah]

And that's a strike? This ump is terrible

 

[bones]

dominguez's BA down to 226

 

[KowboyKarl]

Gave him that one... K, 5 outs to go

 

[KowboyKarl]

Bye bye!

 

[Inspekdah]

Damn there it goes!!

 

[KowboyKarl]

Carlos Corporan HR

 

[KowboyKarl]

No doubter... He was hauling ass around the bases.

 

[Inspekdah]

Got a large wager on Stros RL +140. Redonkulous line. Rangers will ruin it for me in 9

 

[KowboyKarl]

That was huge for you then... GL spek

 

[Inspekdah]

Thanks.

 

[Inspekdah]

Ok, now go down quietly Stros!

 

[JumpOnBoard]

think i read the astros have exactly one player that doesn't make the 490k league minimum and he makes 505k.
