Texas beats Baltimore 30-3 in Game 1 of Doubleheader

[DannoMac21]

Anyone else catch that? Saltalamacchia had a day today. Orioles pitchers...didn't...

[crewcrazy]

Cabrera 5 IP, 9 H, 6 ER, 1 BB, 4 K

Burres 0.2 IP, 8 H, 8 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

Bell 1.1 IP, 5 H, 7 ER, 3 BB, 1 K

Shuey 1.2 IP, 7 H, 9 ER, 3 BB, 5 K

 

Yikes. Looks like the Orioles just let the pitchers take their lumps considering there's another game tonight. 30 runs is the most runs scored in a Major League game since 1900.

This is kinda already mentioned in the non-Brewers IGT, but I'm gonna let it slide for now. So make me proud and turn this into an interesting discussion.

[AJAY]

Too bad for the Rangers it only counts as one win and not five wins. But at least their expected Pythagorean record will take a huge leap http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Kason Gabbard's RS numbers are going to go up slightly.

 

Jayson Stark's going to have a field day with this.

 

Not every day does a team lose by 27 after taking a 3-0 lead. Hell, I would have guessed the Brewers would do that first. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

Michael Young's a freaking bum. HOW DO YOU NOT DRIVE IN A RUN? http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/eek.gif

 

29 hits. 6 home runs. 2 doubles. 21 singles. Now THAT'S manufacturing runs.

 

I think they just wanted to show up Garrett Anderson.

 

Think the Orioles are regretting that managerial hire?

As long as we're posting disparate sentences, I love how Wes Littleton pitched 3 innings and got the save when his team had a 27 run lead.

That score is unbelievable! When I first saw it on the bottom line on ESPN, I thought the Longhorns had crushed the Ravens in an exhibition football game!

[DougJones43]

... had crushed the Ravens in an exhibition football game!

 

According to ESPN, the Baltimore Ravens haven't allowed 30 points since 2005. Unreal.

[And That]

Brett and I were talking about this, and he was right... you're not going to see this again in your lifetime. Enjoy!

Someone forgot to hit the reset button.

Best line of the night from Jim Hunter, Orioles TV broadcaster, as Texas hit their 2nd grand slam to get their 20th run. "Now Texas is starting to lay it on." Like it was still close at 16-3.

[samwise]

In the second game they "only" scored 9 runs. If I was their manager I would question the effort.

[Fatter than Joey]

I think that the game that was the previous record holder for most runs in a game, had some funny business associated with it, where one team "sat out" in protest of Ty Cobb -- something like that.

 

30 runs is unreal

[JohnBriggs12]

On the very same day I saw the obituary for Wild Bill Hagy, the bearded Oriole fan that used to spell out O-R-I-O-L-E-S with his torso.

 

Maybe the team laid down in his honor.

[homer]

I remember when the Brewers beat Toronto 22 to something and got 30 hits. I need to find that box score. That was crazy.

 

Man I love baseball reference:

Interesting to see the Crew only had four extra base hits. 27 singles. Yowzer.

[brewcrewnation]

The Brewers had 31 hits in that game. 22-2. Paul Molitor had the only home run. The Brewer batted around in the 3 and 4th inning. If i remember correctly Scott Fletcher and KEVIN Seitzer had 6 hits.

[BrewCrewForever]

How does a team give that many runs up. That just aint right, that shouldn't happen on a major league. field. Its even hard to score that many in bar softball.

[Invader3K]

I'm surprised the Rangers managed to score 9 runs in the second game. You'd think their arms would be falling off from all the hitting by that point, but I guess not.

[DannoMac21]

Did anybody watch SportsCenter last night and hear Tim Kurkijan's reaction? He sounded like a little school girl. His voice squeeked more than that mouse's that lives in the ceiling tile above me.

[crewcrazy]

This morning ESPN did some conversion work and figured out that to match a similar offensive output, an NFL team would have to score something like 113 points and an NBA team would have to score over 600 points. That's just incredible.

That just isn't right at all. That is insane.

 

[brewers19]

Although, comparing football and basketball to baseball is like comparing apples to oranges. The presence of a clock kinda kills any effective scoring comparisons that one could make.

I don't believe it was the previous record holder, but here is a blurb from an online article about Cobb's history mentioning a 24-2 Tigers loss:

On May 15 1912, Cobb assaulted Claude Lueker, a heckler, in the stands in New York. Lueker and Cobb traded insults with each other throughout the first three innings, and the situation climaxed when Lueker called Cobb a "half-[expletive not allowed on this family-friendly site]". Cobb then climbed into the stands and attacked the handicapped Lueker, who due to an industrial accident had lost all of one hand and three fingers on his other hand. When onlookers shouted at Cobb to stop because the man had no hands, Cobb reportedly replied, "I don't care if he has no feet!" The league suspended him, and his teammates, though not fond of Cobb, went on strike to protest the suspension prior to the May 18 game in Philadelphia. For that one game, Detroit fielded a replacement team made up of college and sandlot ballplayers, plus two Detroit coaches, and lost, 24-2. Some of major league baseball's all-time negative records were established in this game, notably the 26 hits allowed by Allan Travers, who pitched the sport's most unlikely complete game. The strike ended when Cobb urged his teammates to return to the field.

[homer]

The crazy thing is a Texas reliever actually got the save in this game for pitching three innings.

The Capital Times in Madison began including in its MLB coverage this season the 'fantasy four' - four players whose performance the day before would make a difference in your fantasy baseball competition.

I was amused to see that in today's paper, all four players were Rangers.
