Can these fucks just broadcast the god damn game?

[Wulaw Horn 18963]

Ronel Blanco is the greatest pitcher ever. Thanks Luhnow.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Does ESPN have to ruin every fucking thing it touches? Just call the game.

Rake farm

If Vin Scully watches these games, and all the antics they've stooped to, you know he's got to be sick to his stomach. 

[cabowabo 4449]

The ESPN feed is about 10 seconds behind the audio stream on the MLB app. It’s usually just the opposite.  Fuck ESPN.

They’re like Nike and Fanatics. Everything they touch turns to shit. I wonder why they even bother to broadcast baseball to begin with. It’s not like they have Baseball Tonight anymore or talk about baseball at all on any of their talk shows.

Thanks Scherzer for telling ESPN to fuck off. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Whew

[Scraps 13531]

So what do we have to do to have Blanco pitch ever game...he needs to step his game up

[wood 11103]

Holy schnikes.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

google has betrayed me.   The current 14 hitless straight , where does that rank all time ?  Cy Young is around 24-25 and Vandemeer did 18 ., so Blanco has to be in the top 10 at the moment. right?  no jinx. 

[WBT 20397]

81 pitches threw 5.  I think the Vander Meer descendants can start chilling the champagne.

he better not be pulled if hitless.  

and the bullpen will lose the game 100% .

I'm guessing Blanco doesn't finish this game, regardless of what the box score looks like.

2-T) Mike Scott, Astros: 16 innings
Dates: Sept. 20-Oct. 2, 1986

Scott finished his 13-year career with a precisely average era-adjusted 100 ERA+, but in the latter half of 1986, he might have been the most unhittable pitcher on the planet. Wielding a splitter so filthy that opponents began openly questioning its legality, Scott went on an absolute tear to close the regular season. He began by retiring the Padres in order to finish out a seven-inning win on Sept. 20, and then unleashed a 13-strikeout no-hitter against the Giants at the Astrodome to clinch the NL West division title for Houston.

"I can't ever remember a game with such importance that was so dominated by one person,” said Scott’s teammate, Nolan Ryan.

There is 0.0% chance he finishes this game 

[tx 3 putt 76158]

[Scraps 13531]

Alot of dudes have 16....Scherzer, Nolan, Mike Scott, Doc Gooden
