Gorman and Cecil Cooper have given up.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Visiting teams about to be 5-0 so far in the ALCS and NLCS.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Gorman and Cecil Cooper have given up.

Benji had the longest he in the done….I think

I assume you meant, HR and Dome.
I seem to remember that as well.

You are correct. 481 feet.

Yea. HR. I bet you and I visited the rally room. Good times

I wonder what the record is for least amount of runs scored in a AL/NLCS

I'm not sure. AI is stupid.

I wasn’t specific enough. Meant by one team. The Brewers have just 3 runs in 3 games. Crazy bad.

AI is equally stupid in trying to answer that question as well.

What I was able to find was the Dodgers 1966 WS is the lowest run total of any 7 game series. They scored 2 runs in Game 1, then were shut out the last 3 games.

As for the AL/NLCS, the 1970 Pirates scored 3 runs but that was in just 3 games (best of 5). In 7 games, 3 times has it occurred where a team only scored 5 runs.

Greatest playoff performance ever?

Greatest playoff performance ever?

Not even close

ReggieVision for the Win - there’s only Mr. October

Three different pitchers, 3 consecutive swings of the stick in a deciding game in the WS. His last one went 475 .

Bask in his greatness, you fiend -

Relive the moment Reggie became Mr. October

It is remembered as one of the greatest single-game performances in sports history: the night that Reggie Jackson slammed three homers in Game 6 of the 1977 World Series, forever cementing his place as “Mr. October.” In his remarkable performance on Oct. 18, 1977, Jackson cracked a drive off three

Sorry, no. I heard Ohtani sold the most beer in-between innings as well.

Oh, I forgot the best part

The other team they played was wearing Blue

My ten year old soared with each swat. Was yours, perchance crushed, like when Michelle Karn, my 5th grade crush, checked the No Box on whether she liked me or not?

I was pulling for the Mariners to win their first ever American League Pennant. Bummer.

On the plus side, we get a Game 7.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Mad Vlad is in baseball lore zip code with his postseason heroics, including his ridunkulous 1.532 OPS vs. the Pilots. I wouldn’t bet against him in game 7.

Here’s a link which highlights other out of this world performances -

Players with best postseason performances

Whether by dominating on the mound or catching fire at the plate, many players cemented their names in baseball lore with outstanding Octobers. Some were already established stars. Some were virtually unknown to the baseball world before instantly becoming household names. But the common thread...

Check him for PEDs!!!!

Oof, up 2-0, up 3-2 in the series. Up 3-1 in the 7th of Game 7 but lose.

All of those are tough to deal with, especially with that 2-0 lead happening on the Road.

8 outs away. Uffda.

Win Twins!!

 

[upnorthkid]

Have to say, I really miss some of the small ball era. Just seems like so many guys have entirely had that coached out of the game, which makes me sad as a small guy that that’s what I loved about baseball. Both teams left 7 on base, hit into multiple double plays, blew executing runners on third with either 1 or no outs, and stole no bases. And this is on a night the pitchers were mediocre hitting the strike zone and walked 7 batters.

One of my all time favorites. Glad he gets to experience it once in his life.

Well stated.

I think the pendulum will swing back eventually.
