Yu Darvish has 8 K's thru 3 innings

[Shoeless Moe]

I know I know, but wow!!!!!

[Sean]

And zero walks.

Hey Paul, quick trivia question: R Johnson,Kerry Wood and R Clemens twice struck out 20 in a game. How many walks did each of them allow?

I have no idea, but would guess zero

[Shoeless Moe]

10 K's thru 4.....can he get 20?

[Sean]

Correct, none of them walked a batter.

Now Yu has 10 Ks through 4 innings. But 71 pitches.

[Shoeless Moe]

he threw 130 pitches earlier this year.....and was a machine in Japan.

The last few seasons he's been huge for my fantasy team.

Yeah, but remember that pitchers in Japan only pitch once a week, not every 5th day like here.

Oh hell, Sean. I'm watching "the Ghosts of Flatbush" right now. Do I stop, and put on the Rangers game, or watch Bobby Thompson hit the shot heard 'round the world, sending Brooklyn fans home disappointed again?

It is this kind of conundrum that has plagued baseball fans since the advent of television.

Ok, Yu. Here I come.

[Sean]

14 K's through 6th.

[Texxxx]

14 after 6 innings. He could get the 20. My guess is 18 though.

Bill, when you watch the 9th inning, watch Don Mueller's at bat. With a man on 1st, no one out, and a three run lead, Hodges is holding the runner on first. Why? His run is irrelevant.

And Mueller hits the ball 6 inches out of Hodges' reach. I don't know if it was Hodges fault or Dressen's, but the Dodgers could have gotten out of the inning without Thomson's homer if not for a mental mistake.
