Both teams had hit each other earlier in the game, in the 2nd and 4th so they were even. In the seventh Minn. threw behind a Detroit batter. So Detroit retaliated in the 8th. That is why Young yelled at his pitcher who had started things up again in the 7th after both were even.

For all those who are disappointed in Mr Hernandez or his performance over the years. Mr. Hernandez has worked a LCS or WS every year but 2006 since 2000.

You know that those assignments are a rotation now, not merit assignments, right?

Every day this year, Newsday re-printed the Mets boxscore from 1969. One of them contained this item:

HBP: Seaver (by Gibson), Gibson (by Seaver)

Ahh the good old days. No warnings, no brawls, and both pitchers went 9, as usual.

That was the year that Seaver was literally taking the mantel of the game's best pitcher away from Gibson. Bob must not have liked that.

We had this neighbor/uncle guy, who said this to me as I was learning the game from him in the mid-60s: "There's a kid pitching at USC who's going to be in the Hall of Fame someday ... remember this name: Tom Seaver."

There once was a poster who did, but I forget who it was.

Angel Hernandez has been making some pretty good calls lately in the games I've seen him work. He has not sucked.
Angel received enough constructive criticism to improve his A-game.

I don't know if you made this comment "tongue in cheek" or not, but you are correct. MLB evaluators had a "Come to Jesus" meeting with Angel a few years back, and the improvement in effort and concentration was noticeable immediately. Improvement in his performance, predictably, followed.
