I wonder if I'm the only guy in the country that had the World Series game on full duration last night and didn't know it was a no-hitter. I was working on other things, on youtube etc, and had the game on sans volume. I turned the volume on and heard a 30 second or so Smoltz spiel, turned it back off, once it got 5-0 didn't pay much attention at all. After 8 my brother texted me and said no-no. So I watched and listened to the 9th.
So 2 no-hitters in 118 World Series. How does that compare to "expected" amount of no-hitters based on regular season projection, I wonder. I assume that is about 600 World Series games?
His records are unbreakable although I thought that about Gretzky’s records.
Yeah it's tough to see the stolen base ever becoming a huge part of the game like it was back in the day. I think Coleman stole over 100 bases his first 3 years in the league. These days lucky to see a guy reach 60. No one is ever catching Rickey unless the game itself radically changes back to a less HR/SO dominated game.
attempts at stolen bases, triples, or inside the park homers are fantastic baseball drama
might as well add in the sac fly attempt from third on a short fly ball

100% agree the nerds with strikeouts for homers made baseball lame.

Is it all on the fact that different things are valued differently in the analytics era?
Are there guys out there now with the speed and the skill to steal a ton of bases?
I guess I am thinking that if you had Rickey in 2022, would he not still have free reign on the bases? Would it actually be +EV to contain him?
