I've never watched a no hitter in world series game before Only been one. Larsen’s perfecto in ‘56. And Smoltz does give considerable insight. are we about to see history tonight???

smoltz is absolutely fantastic. I'm not sure if there's a tv sports analyst on air right now that gives as much insight as he does. I enjoy klatt and herby on cfb, and they're close, but for my $ nobody beats smoltz. Tony Romo does it really well in the booth tooI'm not as big a fan of romo, although I like him on air. just don't think he adds what the others do.

wow. just wow. 2nd world series no-no in over a century. pretty cool. I'll plant this here. As I was watching the post game interviews on Fox w Christian Javier, who was supported by a translator, my first thought was, I used to think I had a decent handle on Spanish and it's various "American" variants. Now I get he was understandably amped up after his and the teams performance but dang, my ancient brain couldn't keep up, right from the get go. I understood the translator, who was, as they all do, paraphrasing the Q presented by FOX but Christian? I got the gist but.............. There's a story that'd go w this but not here.
And again Smoltz is the best. His insight as to why certain pitchers are so successful was worth the view and why a no no can still be interesting. Release points AND hand angles. All look the same. And yet so different, a batter has little time to differentiate. Today, a 94 mph FB is common and yet Javier's was so special last night. Smoltz is a student of the game and a teacher.
If he gets here, I gotta ask IHS which Philly V Houston game will he watch? As was Smoltz, I was surprised it's happened seven times in sports history where two cities are playing each other, on the same night, in two different major sports.

I believe Houston will win it at home....Astros bullpen didnt skip a beat after Verlander left and the Phillies left 18 men on base.

gutcheck win for houston last night. phillies’ bats have lost their juice since game 3. better find it fast. I believe Houston will win it at home....Astros bullpen didnt skip a beat after Verlander left and the Phillies left 18 men on base.That was the killer last night. After going down 1-0, they got an immediate response from Schwarber then had Verlander on the ropes in the 2nd and 3rd. One hit in either of those two situations and I think the game takes a far different turn. It didn't happen and Pena turns on one in the top of the 4th to put the Cheaters Astros back up.

bummer. hell of a ride by the phillies. even if you improve the roster(hello trea turner) you’re not guaranteed to get back so you have to take advantage when you are in that spot.
