I think someone missed the joke. Maybe you and @Proud NJ Sports Fan should hang out together but the chances getting the right time may prevent that.[roll]
OT: World Series
- Thread starter Caliknight
- Start date
i called it after 14. exciting for sure, but MLBs finale going 7.5 hours and ending at 330 est is summary of what’s wrong w the sport.
You think they should have penalty kicks instead of extra innings in tie games?
Or maybe go to a Home Run Derby?
I definitely see your point though. The problem is not that is takes 7:20 to play 18 postseason innings. The problem is that it takes 3:40 to play nine.
Give it a few more hours, everyone who could answer your question is still asleep
In 1964,the Mets and the Giants played 23 innings-I watched all 23 of them finishing up a term paper for eighth grade-in just 3 more minutes than it took to play 18 last night.The commercials are the cause of the extra length.
Have the commercial breaks been extended in recent years? I have no idea, just asking. Did it used to be something like 2 or 3 minutes and now it's 5?
Otherwise, at least baseball only has fixed commercial breaks at the middle and end of each inning, unlike quasi-random TV timeouts, injury timeouts, change in possession, end of quarters, etc. for commercials in football or basketball.
I managed to the 15th.. don't even know why I stayed up that long.. saw game-ender this AM.. glad it won't be a sweep
lol no one responded when I posted!
So those people were probably asleep then too lol
Just a suggestion to you. Why not inquire at the New Jersey's town library or county library and see if they have microfilm of the telephone books of the era. With a last name, town and street, finding the exact address should be relatively easy. If they don't have microfilm, ask if any library in the state does. Also check with town hall for alternate records they may have on record. Good luck.
Thankfully the Boston pitcher pitched fast. Imagine how long that game would have taken had a slow guy been out there.
Baseball needs to fix the game lengths. It’s a turn off.

They have not announced. My guess is Rodriguez (who only pitched to one batter) or Pomerantz (who hasn't pitched in a month). But they could come back with Sale on three days rest.
They played two games last night.
The first nine went fast by today’s standards.
Our games averaged two and a half hours.
Eighteen inning classic with some great pitching, boneheaded base running, and great defensive plays. The game had a little bit of everything. Go Dodgers!
Guessing Rodriguez as well. Buehler had 1 more inning in him (the one game I could have used Jansen to step up for my fantasy postseason squad and he blows it). :chairshot:
I gave up about 3 A.M.
Two points:
1. I was sure the Bosux would sweep.
2. The Yankees better not sign Machado.
Loved seeing Price come back last night.
For any of you who actually played baseball or pitched, you guys know what your arm feels like after throwing 80 pitches over 90 miles an hour (for you guys it was probably 75)
But it’s relative, you can’t brush your hair or brush your teeth the next day

Stayed up to mid 17th inning. Kinsler error sort of reminded me of 86 Red Sox game 6 vs Mets pertaining to the freakish nature of the play
Disagree Bus
I thought it was a hell of a game
Of course, my bad.
Bass hit, error on the throw, no RBI
What? That was a great pitched game on both sides, amazing game pitched by a Rookie in what really was a do or die situation, lots of intrigue on who will pitch today's games. It's crazy how much better the game within the game it is with no DH,real baseball. Very surprised you thought it wasn't a game to remember.
If Boston goes onto win it will be forgotten. Buehler pitched awesome. The rest took advantage of players swinging for the fences everytime up.
If u didn’t like that game, don’t bother watching baseball imho. I couldn’t hang after 13 myself, but 99.9% of games don’t go 18 either.
