Episode 152 – Carl Hubbell Streaks

After so many years, it’s easy to forget just how amazing Carl Hubbell was. But he left us with a fantastic reminder, a 24 game winning streak between 1936 and 1937 that ended 83 years ago this week. Hubbell was at his best during the stretch, dragging the Giants to the NL pennant, and cementing himself as the greatest screwballer of all time. Mike and Bill talk about his life, his pitch, and break down the amazing stretch that would help define his career. Plus, happy birthday to Darrell Evans and Turkey Mike Donlin!

The Rangers rally from 6 runs down to win at home after losing the first two games of their series with the Angels, who are breathing down their necks in the AL West. Trailing 7 – 1 in the 5th, the Rangers manage to force extra innings thanks to Ian Kinsler’s home run in the bottom of the 9th, only to see the Halos score 3 more in the top of the 10th, as a two-run homer by Albert Pujols, who has back-to-back two-homer games, and a solo shot by Chris Iannetta apparently put the game away. But Texas is not dead: Nelson Cruz leads off the bottom of the 10th with a homer off Ernesto Frieri, then Michael Young reaches on Andrew Romine’s error and David Murphy draws a walk. Jason Isringhausen comes in to pitch, but allows a single to Mike Napoli that loads the bases with none out; Mitch Moreland singles in a second run, and after one out, Elvis Andrus ends the game with a two-run single. The win extends the Rangers’ lead over Los Angeles to 4 games, with Oakland another half game behind.
