Fritz Peterson was cruising until Larkin hit a 3-R HR in the 7th to tie it up. Larkin was nearly the hero in the bottom of the 9th when Paul O’Neill was thrown out at home trying to score on Larkin’s single. Green singled in the 10th and Henderson pinch ran. He swiped 2nd and scored the go ahead run on Gary Gaetti’s double, who had entered the game 2 innings earlier as a defensive replacement.

OhhJim@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @RuthODay @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7 And then you can learn to throw a knuckleball! 😁
@OhhJim @tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
He could pitch as long as his age surpasses his knuckleball speed.
Or is it the other way around?
@RuthODay @OhhJim @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
It’s funny that I’ve thrown my knuckler on and off throughout my baseball life. It was best around age 19-20. My college coaches all said it was absolutely nasty and it truly was. I could throw it 70-72 mph with almost 0 rotation every time. My arm eventually got healthy and I threw near 90 in my 20’s so it got left behind. I do regret now not maintaining it to a level that I can be pleased with.

A consistent strike zone on the side of the umpire would be nice.
@RuthODay @OhhJim @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
Not going to argue that. He did miss em for both sides I will say. I thought he squeezed Pfaadt a bit in that 3 run inning.

@tabletopmania @OhhJim @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
i think at one point in that inning that even Alfonso Marquez realized that they could print his strike zone on the side of a milk carton. Then there was a subsequent pitch that was about a ball diameter outside and is called a strike.
Game 2 had an enlarged strike zone but he called it pretty consistent.
But, keeping it in perspective, the sun will rise in the East tomorrow. (Even if Marquez calls it in the North)

Yeah, that has been a problem.
