Terrific. The Astros throw a "no-hitter"...

...the first in the World Series since Larson. With *four* pitchers. Grandfathers today tell their kids about watching Larson's on TV. *Larson's*. I'm sure today's four pitchers will just trip off the tongue of the old geezers in 2080. Assuming major league baseball still exists, which frankly I doubt. Jesus H Christ, keep Javier in the goddam game until he gives up a damned hit. I fucking hate analytics and algorithms. Yeah, I'm an old geezer and a reactionary, which I proudly embrace. Bob Gibson is rolling in his grave...

1. Two truly outstanding teams.

I’m loving this series.

2. Yay! My kids just blew up my phone with text messages.

Awesome.

3. I Agree

How do you pull a pitcher throwing a No Hitter, when you have a 5 run lead? Leave him in until he gives up a hit.

I guess it's still an accomplishment, but it's also kind of a copout.

8. I agree 💯 %.

9. +1,000

Couldn't agree more.

4. In the late '60's that was a problem

Amazing Pitchers. People go to the game for the runs and scores. Not for no-hitters.

5. Call me chicken, but I'll take a W just in case the ghost of Haddix is behind door number 2.

So there. Now get off of my lawn lol.

6. I sat next to Bob Gibson on the subway after a Yankees world series game

But I was too scared to say a word to him, lol.

10. Dont feel bad

Most everyone was scared of Bob Gibson especially major league hitters.

7. Don Larsen threw a perfect game, this was a no hitter

Not to detract from this spatular no-hitter, but throwing no hitter is an infinitely harder achievement

There have been a mere 23 perfect games in major league baseball history, while there have been over 300 no hitters.

That being said, this game was an cliff hanger because this was the third game where the Astros lead by five, winning only two.

11. Smart to pull Javier. He'll be available to pitch some innings if there's a Game 7.

Goal is to win a World Series.
