No hits either. 😲 It's a shame... 30 years ago this would have been the headline in every newspaper and the lead story on every newscast... I would like to see a Game 7... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted November 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 Went to bed early last night. After the 5th inning. Knew the Astros had a no-hitter going, but assumed it would not last. I felt their lead was safe though, so I turned it off. I hate when miss out on seeing something historical. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep...but right now we have basketball, hockey, football... and so much other distracting crapola, ie. politics, social media and about a million other viewing/screen options that the WS is lost as an after thought.

If the starter was still in I probably would have watched the 9th inning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a team doesn't get any hits in the game, it's a no hitter... Is it as exciting as a single guy doing it? No, but it is what it is... . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really enjoy a no hitter that much lol How did guys do their job at the plate 27 times so poorly? I want offense. It's 100% a no hitter, though, you're right. "A zero hit game" had me laughing ... it's still a nice TEAM accomplishment, regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you just have to forget about all the negative and just be happy when something good happens to good people. Dusty is good people. On top of it all, this win gets him to Cooperstown, I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landrus13 Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 My dream offseason for the Cardinals would be them signing Contreras or trading for Sean Murphy from Oakland. Getting a star SS in Trea Turner or Carlos Correa. And I'd like another starter who can strike people out and a reliever. And maybe an outfield bat. Sounds good to me. Cardinals to upgrade if they want to contend. I read the Cardinals are expected to up their payroll this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
