Didn't the Mariners set the record against the Orioles about than 10 years ago?

I remember they went 4 hours 27 minutes, or something close to this.

Not surprising Boston and New York now hold the record.

this reminds me of that epic 18-inning boston game

Except that went 18 innings.

And was really exciting.

And involved two good ballclubs.

thanks, looked it up myself.

what a mind fuck of a game that must have been to watch. And how crushing to sit through that then lose.

by sammy on Apr 15, 2008 5:41 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

favorite thing out of that box score is how

Seaver went 10IP, allowed just 2 hits, 0bb and 3k, and he was shown up by Jim Ray, who came on in relief to pitch 7 innings with 2 hit, 1bb, and 11k

and when a pitcher gets warmed up, we’re going to use him dammit!

I was hoping they'd give Dickey an extended look

But if they plan on starting him Friday and they started Baek on Sunday, there isn’t really another long man to go with other than RRS.
