I was reading about the 1980's Cardinals the other day. Played in 3 World Series (1-2). Winning the only one they probably were favored to lose
Anyway this 1987 WS was about as "boring" as a 7-game series could be. Home teams won each game and I believe no scoring in the 8th or 9th innings. I think only 1 run scored in the 7th and overall only a couple lead changes. Each game was decided early on
Also - Twins admitted in the 2000s that they screwed with the fans within the stadium to help their hitters and hurt opponents

That Twins crew won two seven game series by winning every home game and losing every road game. The series against the Braves in 1991 was a true classic.
Good thread, derp.
Ya'll post some more. Last year I watched the entire series between the Yankees and Red Sox 2004 ALCS. Made me appreciate it even more.

Both series were 3-2-3 format, Twins found themselves down 2-3 both times
Yah 1991 is ridiculous. 5 - 1 run games. 3 extra inning games. Rare series winner was outscored.

Yea, I was just looking that up. That's crazy. 8-0 at home, 0-6 on the road.
87 Twins RS: 56-25 at home, 29-52 on the road.
91 Twins RS: 51-30 at home, 44-37 on the road.
The Twins relatively new ballpark may be better for baseball and the fan experience in general; but it could cost them rings.

https://youtu.be/v69qBk4HUq4
I saw Randy Johnson pitch live a couple times. It's different than on TV; in RL, his pitches looked totally effortless.
Also, Tony Gwynn was great. He hit over .300 in all of his 19 seasons following his .289 rookie season. And of course baseball went on f'ing strike when he was about to hit .400 for the first time since Teddy Ballgame.

In 1983, the Oakland A's sold me to the Detroit Tigers for $100 and a bag of balls. I had to deliver the balls.

Braves lose the division but still make the WS. Lose in 6 games to Yankees
18% chance Matt Williams breaks Maris HR record
31% chance Tony Gwynn hits atleast .400

Oldie but goodie. Watched a documentary on Fernando Valenzuela.
Great stuff.
Kinda weird how his record really jumped around over the years. Not steady decline, rather a stinker season followed by a bounce back season 21W 11Ls.
I attribute it to off and on injuries.
+ Lasorda was a known moron old school macho bullshit when it came to innings pitched.
"Well that's what Juan Marchial and Drysdale did" (I can't remember the exact two but Lasorda reasoning was since some of the pitchers did they all should.

But if you want an 80's pitching record by a Dodger, this is the one to go with...

Odd series
Blue Jays were far stronger team on paper with HOFs all over the field. Ended up +9 run differential in the series. Yet the Phillies were 3 outs away from forcing Game 7.
From 1988 to 2000, the Phillies only won 80+ games once. And it was this team. A very experienced team that fell off the cliff with age within 2 seasons.

:wow He came within two outs of pitching a no-hitter.
Speaking of the Twins, this is how Johan Santana pitched about every time out back in the day.
I really thought the Twins were going to win it all in 2009 with the M&M boys (Morneau & Mauer) and the two-headed beast of Santana and Liriano.
It sucks that their aces both got injured.
