Is that Laz freakin Diaz behind the plate? Cuz it would explain a lot.

Ron Lyle boxed really well in this fight.

I was in 4th grade then, and it was on national television at nighttime.

Squeeze Lakins for another inning or 2 first.

3 of the next 4 batters are righties.  So Armstrong this inning and Akin next when we hit the lefty heavy portion of their order?  Of course that means making his ML debut vs Juan Soto.

Always had big events on regular TV then. Ali fights, Evel Knievel jumps.

A win today rates out future-wise as as 32-28 ...........

Yeah. Giving BOTH pitchers plenty of leeway.

Agree, except for the rare case of the guy having a chance at a no-hitter or perfect game. A manager trying to pull a pitcher when they haven't yet given up on the no-hitter is really bad manners, regardless of pitch count.

Didn't Hyde do just that last year, early in the season?  Can't remember who was pitching.

Edit: He did.  It was Davis Hess against Toronto.  6.1 IP 0 H 1 B 0 R

It happened against the Orioles early in the 2018 season.

It was Hess last year.

I think it was Buck 2 years ago. But my memory...
