Keith Law going to comment on a freshman throwing 131 pitches? Don’t think it fits into his narrative since I’ve seen him support Vandy before
He commented, but never mentioned Vanderbilt.
UCLA takes a 5-4 lead in the 12th after Michigan commits its 5th error of the game. They didn’t commit an error in the first 8 innings.
UCLA holds on the force a rubber match
That would be a special memory for a college pitcher 25 years from now. "I had a no-hitter going into the 9th, but my pitch count hit 120, so Coach Corbin pulled me. Better safe than sorry."Keith Law going to comment on a freshman throwing 131 pitches? Don’t think it fits into his narrative since I’ve seen him support Vandy before
Still can’t believe people thought it was a big deal. Second dumbest thing in sports behind the dogpile.
No-hitter superstition may not be rooted so much in superstition as it is based on real-life psychology. The “incubation effect” for instance could be used as an explanation for the ritual of isolating the pitcher in a late inning no hit bid. The break or isolation, gives the mind time to focus in on the task or routine ahead. Not speaking of it in general could be an extension of the effect to those directly involved. Mentioning a no hit bid on the news ticker or on the broadcast doesn’t involve the participants involved in the mental, (pitch calls) and physical battle. Bringing it into question with a direct participant could alter their mental focus and approach, not to mention the bad-taste of the person broaching the subject for monetary purposes (ie: ESPN’s KH) and in direct conflict with polite behavior and convention.Still can’t believe people thought it was a big deal.

What are you saying is dumb? Not talking about a no hitter?
Agree to disagree. Baseball is a game steeped in superstition, including pitchers stepping over the baselines on the way on and off the field, rally caps, and no hitter talk.The superstition involving talking about no hitters is absurdly dumb. I’ll make an exception for someone walking right up to the pitcher and saying “you have a no hitter”. Anything beyond that........ dumb.
Scores of young people everywhere tune into baseball games to see players stepping over white chalk and hear commentators not talk about no hitters. Baseball superstitions are exhilarating.Agree to disagree.
