He took a Manny grounder right off the shin bone earlier in the game. I was surprised he didn't get hurt. I would have been crying like a little girl.

Thanks for the jinx, as he's my fantasy pitcher

I'm sick of ESPN, though. They keep talking about DiceK, even when Felix is pitching, no matter HOW dominating Hernandez has been.
Keys Myaths
Pokerguy
Yes, because one comment from a guy typing in Columbia, MO is REALLY going to jinx a guy pitching 2000 miles away.That makes sense.

They played the Japanese broadcast when DiceK faced Ichiro the 2nd or 3rd time. It was HORRIBLE!

4 batters have hit the ball into the outfield against this guy so far this year???

This is pretty impressive, no matter how it ends.
They just look very, very confused.

Ortiz got one out also -- that's 5 batters out of 52 have hit it out of the infield. Just wow...

Have some fun with it. Baseball and superstition go hand in hand.

I'm a sabermetrics guy. I don't know how to have fun.

Oops.
And the ovation is for Felix, announcers. Acknowledge it.

I think the ovation was for Drew breaking it up. The are now doing a 'Lets go Red Sox".

Red Sux will be whiffing at good pitching all year. Get used to it.

I got the feeling that the ovation was for Felix as well. I've been to two games where the opposing pitcher took a no-hitter past the start of the 7th and both times, I got the feeling that the applause at the breakup was for the pitcher's effort, not because someone finally got a hit.If it was for the team/Drew, then that'swilked said:Keys Myaths said:

I expect better from a guy living in a city where it's hard out there for a pimp.

Jesus Colin, I don't remember you being this big a tool in the past.The crowd cheered because the Sox broke up the no hitter. No team wants to be no-hit, and no fan wants to see their team no-hit. We also cheered because they got the leadoff batter on down by 3.I got the feeling that the ovation was for Felix as well.

There may have been a few people cheering the effort of Felix, but the crowd was cheering for the no hitter getting broken up. No question about it.

. at anyone actually believing that the Boston fans would give an ovation for a guy who almost threw a no hitter against their team.

There are times where the fans "golf clap" the opposing pitcher after a no-no bid or perfect game is broken up late. But I don't think this is one of those situations. The Sox fans were clearly cheering very loud for their hitter to begin the 8th inning, and I think they were cheering after the hit for their hitter, not King.Jesus Colin, I don't remember you being this big a tool in the past.The crowd cheered because the Sox broke up the no hitter.

I can agree with this. I just find it very hard to imagine that Boston fans would cheer for anyone not on their team.There are times where the fans "golf clap" the opposing pitcher after a no-no bid or perfect game is broken up late.

I thought the ball could have been caught. He dove late.

Are you serious?I have been at Fenway when Sox fans cheered for Mike Mussina (A Yankee!) when he had a perfect game in the 9th broken up. It was a standing ovation.Sox fans gave Clemens (A Yankee!) an standing ovation when they took him out and everyone thought he was retiring that year and it would have been his last regular season appearance at Fenway.Sox fans gave Pedro Martinez (left town for more money and talked bad about Boston on the way out) a standing ovation when he returned.Do you want me to continue?I can agree with this.

Funny how things work out. He got hit in the shin bone by a Manny grounder earlier in the game. The hit went back up the middle past Felix and it's possible he could have made a play on it. Maight have been a reaction from getting hit earlier to get out of the way.

Standing Ovation for Cal Ripken, Jr after he broke the consecutive games streak.Standing Ovation when Orlando Cabrera returned in an Angels uniform.Standing Ovation when Dave Roberts and Derek Lowe returned for their WS rings.Standing Ovation for Mariano Rivera on Opening Day 2005 (after giving up runs in the ALCS 2004).I have seen many ovations (not standing though) for great defensive plays by the opposition.Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll said:I wouldn't mind...SteelCurtain said:Are you serious?I have been at Fenway when Sox fans cheered for Mike Mussina (A Yankee!) when he had a perfect game in the 9th broken up.
