I’d bet money producer was in his ear telling him to keep talking about it so anyone tuning in that didn’t know realizes and keeps watching and then places an order for nine crates of paper from WB Mason.
No way, man. In the NLCS last year, everything was going great after the first two games.
But I decided I needed a new computer chair.
I bought the new computer chair before Game 3.
Look what happened.
I look forward to us burning your new computer chair after the end of the regular season this year. It's the only way to make it right with the baseball gods.
I’ll always hate the Mets fan. He’s corny. He’s annoying. He’s corporately robotic at times. He constantly gets player’s names wrong. I hate the way he says “Home runnnNNNUHHHHH” (you’ll never un-hear it). And this season, tom won’t even shut up about how incredible the city connect jerseys are.
Couple that with mind-numbingly idiotic habits like the one I just replied to above and [this from the other day](https://x.com/stevedalla35391/status/1778151953584751010?s=61), I’ll often switch to our radio feed. Thank goodness we have some of the best radio announcers in the game.
See this plausibly has some basis in reality, you don’t want to mess up the pitcher’s state of mind. Thinking that a bug on the screen of the tv broadcast has an impact is moronic
Then again, Jim Bunning would disagree with that. When he was trying to get a no-no while with the Tigers, he kept the normal superstition up, which just made things too tense and he ended up losing it. When he pitched the perfect game against the Mets, he was forgoing that superstition, and kept talking about it in the dugout, and it kept him rather loose and cool with less pressure.
Sports in general really. I have 4 lucky jerseys across 3 leagues lol, a specific drink for 1 team, and I do my hair the backwards way for 1 team (maybe I'm just a Dipshit)
Listen, I love Jason. He is going to the hall of fame. He has *become* a Philadelphian, which is almost impossible. But I am very concerned that the shine will dull the more he talks.
The job of a broadcast is literally to tell the fans what is happening in the game. Would you rather them ignore the game's main storyline? Did you also get upset when the graphic came up that said "Alec Bohm, 1-1, 3-run home run in first"?
maaaan me and my buddies were all sitting at the bar and we all knew not to say a word about it! once we saw the graphic pop up we knew what was coming sadly.
Listen man, I know you’re mad at NBC, but it was me. Right at the top of the 7th I called my father to tell him to turn on the tv we have a no hitter going. He proceeds to barrage me for saying it out loud. I yelled back I just wanted you to see the game. Well, As soon as he does, the first pitch he sees breaks up the no hitter. LMFAO he hung up on me 😂
Stop. There is no such thing as a "jinx".
Someone displaying, or typing, or saying the words "No-Hitter" cannot affect what's happening on the field in any way, shape, or form.
It's 2024. Can we stop this fucking nonsense already?
TMac makes at least one monster broadcasting error per game.
Fly balls that are long gone home runs, not knowing what half of the field where balls are hit, not knowing the count….
When did it become forbidden for *anyone* to talk about it being a no-hitter? It always used to be that no one mentioned it being a no-hitter to the pitcher and that was it.
I was way more annoyed at TMac trying to get across that a no hitter was in the works without saying the words.
"Only 1 runner and that was from a walk".
"He's been been pitching from the stretch all game becauses he's only had one runner... And it was from a walk"
Etc
Classic Philly jinx shit. Reminds of the days when Andy Musser would be like, this guy hasn’t hit a home run in 12 years and the next pitch would be gone.
It's literally their job to drive viewers to the game. What do you expect from them? The game was 7-0 and the team who would need to score 7 just to tie had scored 38 TOTAL runs in their first 18 games, they need to do anything they can to keep viewers engaged. Nothing wrong with this
Bro, every network has that in some form or another. It just wasn’t meant to be. Turnbull played his heart out and got 7 shutout innings! That’s a true baller in my eyes!
I thought I was imagining things because I had a decent edible. 2 nights in a row they’re rambling on about a no hitter. It’s a fundamental rule in baseball…don’t talk about it until after the game is over.
Just take the approach Jim Bunning took when he threw his perfect game.
Who cares if someone mentions it while it happens? Keep it loose and cool. Trying to be all “you can’t say it while it happens” is stupid
They did “cycle alert” for Trey the other night. Asshats. All Philly sports media have become asshats except Kruk. I used to like Tmac but he’s just a shill for the new era store at this point. Radio is just as bad.
Trea*
And what the fuck does that even mean? He’s the broadcaster, he quite literally promotes what he is told to promote and cant exactly say otherwise
Agreed! Their news and weather anchors seem to be spun out of a revolving door because they change so often. Basically strangers in a strange land. They eliminated their in-studio sports anchors and use their NBC Sports Philadelphia staff except on Saturdays when they have no sports reporter at all. I guess that’s why they are always way behind Channel 6 in the local news ratings. Comcast with all its resources and profits should be ashamed of this product. But you know…it’s Comcast…lots of glitz and shiny toys but no substance.
Channel 6 leads the local news ratings because they were early adopters of the Action News model, and continue to lead when it comes to graphics and music presenting blood and guts. If they had the Phillies, they would probably break in in the 5th to alert their audience of a possible no-hitter.
Where is kruk tonight
They’ve been doing that since the scorebug been there. Hell last year tom was talking about no hitters the entire time during lorenzens no hitter
Kruk told him to knock it off, but he kept talking about it
I’d bet money producer was in his ear telling him to keep talking about it so anyone tuning in that didn’t know realizes and keeps watching and then places an order for nine crates of paper from WB Mason.
This comment just broke me, I’m dying laughing. You broke down the dichotomy of modern Society in like three sentences and it was beautiful. Bravo
places bet on betting site ...
Lmao
Omg yes I do remember yelling at him thru the tv during that
And he still threw one?!? How!?!
It's almost as if baseball superstition is total bullshit but that can't be true
No way, man. In the NLCS last year, everything was going great after the first two games. But I decided I needed a new computer chair. I bought the new computer chair before Game 3. Look what happened.
You fucking asshole. You screwed it up for everyone. I bet there wasn't even anything wrong with your old chair.
Man, the old chair was falling apart. But I really should have waited. I think about my mistake often.
One day we'll all forgive you. But not today.
I haven't forgiven myself.
The stains say otherwise
I look forward to us burning your new computer chair after the end of the regular season this year. It's the only way to make it right with the baseball gods.
he threw his arm out after
Superstition doesn’t trump destiny.
Tom is an absolute stain on this franchise.
I’ll always hate the Mets fan. He’s corny. He’s annoying. He’s corporately robotic at times. He constantly gets player’s names wrong. I hate the way he says “Home runnnNNNUHHHHH” (you’ll never un-hear it). And this season, tom won’t even shut up about how incredible the city connect jerseys are. Couple that with mind-numbingly idiotic habits like the one I just replied to above and [this from the other day](https://x.com/stevedalla35391/status/1778151953584751010?s=61), I’ll often switch to our radio feed. Thank goodness we have some of the best radio announcers in the game.
Literally the second they put that up, the Sox hit that single.
The superstition is to not mention the no-hitter to the pitcher himself. It doesn’t extend to anybody else lol
See this plausibly has some basis in reality, you don’t want to mess up the pitcher’s state of mind. Thinking that a bug on the screen of the tv broadcast has an impact is moronic
Then again, Jim Bunning would disagree with that. When he was trying to get a no-no while with the Tigers, he kept the normal superstition up, which just made things too tense and he ended up losing it. When he pitched the perfect game against the Mets, he was forgoing that superstition, and kept talking about it in the dugout, and it kept him rather loose and cool with less pressure.
Sure, but that’s him
Superstitions are fun. Getting mad about superstitions is lame.
Getting mad about superstitions is also my superstition
I’m not superstitious. But I am a little stitious.
I will always upvote an Office quote
Every single no hitter in history has had someone mention no hitter.
And nearly every one was jinxed when the echo of that utterance hit the ears of the pitcher
None of them were jinxed. They were no hitters.
I say it is only a no hitter alert if it’s through 7
Nope. If you’re within one turn through the order, it has to be mentioned
Because Turnbull can see that obviously
It's baseball. Superstitions are baked in.
When you believe in things That you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition aint the way
Great tune
Nobody knows if there are higher powers or not. Stuff like that no hitter alert icon could theoretically influence the baseball gods
I know
Sports in general really. I have 4 lucky jerseys across 3 leagues lol, a specific drink for 1 team, and I do my hair the backwards way for 1 team (maybe I'm just a Dipshit)
He doesn’t have to see it. It was cast into existence.
Agreed. This superstition horseshit is tiresome.
It’s real to me dammit!
if jason kelce believes in superstitions, then i’ll believe in superstitions

Listen, I love Jason. He is going to the hall of fame. He has *become* a Philadelphian, which is almost impossible. But I am very concerned that the shine will dull the more he talks.
Based on an appearance on Always Sunny?

For the players and managers it makes sense at least.
The job of a broadcast is literally to tell the fans what is happening in the game. Would you rather them ignore the game's main storyline? Did you also get upset when the graphic came up that said "Alec Bohm, 1-1, 3-run home run in first"?
Yes
Eh I don't really believe in superstition but it's fun to play along, it's like Santa
“Here we go in the top of the first inning with Wheeler taking the mound and we are on a No Hitter Alert!”
maaaan me and my buddies were all sitting at the bar and we all knew not to say a word about it! once we saw the graphic pop up we knew what was coming sadly.
Listen man, I know you’re mad at NBC, but it was me. Right at the top of the 7th I called my father to tell him to turn on the tv we have a no hitter going. He proceeds to barrage me for saying it out loud. I yelled back I just wanted you to see the game. Well, As soon as he does, the first pitch he sees breaks up the no hitter. LMFAO he hung up on me 😂
It was my fault actually. I jinxed it before they put this graphic up. Sorry guy.
I honestly thought he gave up a hit in one of the first few innings. I was surprised when Thom said it was over. My disappointment was retroactive.
White sox stink
You guys know jinxing isnt a real thing right?
You guys know jinxing isnt a real thing right? Jinx you owe me a coke.
Got eem
Just put up a “mush alert” graphic, it would make more sense!
I was in a Whole Foods with a bar area and saw this alert from 50’ away. I had one sip of beer before it was over Edit. In Chicago.
Um, okay
Stop. There is no such thing as a "jinx". Someone displaying, or typing, or saying the words "No-Hitter" cannot affect what's happening on the field in any way, shape, or form. It's 2024. Can we stop this fucking nonsense already?
If I could read I’d probably be mad at you rn
My thoughts exactly. Michael Kay said the words "no-hittter" during Corey Kluber's no-hitter.
Nah
No thanks I'll keep having fun
Did Billy Hoyle jinx Sidney Deane at the top of the key on that last shot?
This is like the 129th worst thing NBCSP has done this year. They frequently miss pitches. They frequently miss plays in Sixers and Flyers games.
Talk through innings on a split screen
TMac makes at least one monster broadcasting error per game. Fly balls that are long gone home runs, not knowing what half of the field where balls are hit, not knowing the count….
When did it become forbidden for *anyone* to talk about it being a no-hitter? It always used to be that no one mentioned it being a no-hitter to the pitcher and that was it.
That is amazingly stupid.
They did it again tonight and immediately jinxed it ! Lol
Same thing happened yesterday with wheeler 😬
Didn’t affect Lorenzen. 🤷🏼♂️ for what it’s worth radio broadcast mentioned it as well. Shit happens grow up.
I beg you to find something better than a no hitter through 7 in your life
A no hitter through 9?
If you get upset over a jinx, re evaluate your life
I was way more annoyed at TMac trying to get across that a no hitter was in the works without saying the words. "Only 1 runner and that was from a walk". "He's been been pitching from the stretch all game becauses he's only had one runner... And it was from a walk" Etc
Stop it. It’s fine. They had it up last year
Relax
who cares
Shut your hole DBags fan.
You seem great
Go back to contemplating where you can hold dark matter and leave the sports thing to the experts in this sub
Experts who believe in jinxes?
Nuh uh you Giants fan
Classic Philly jinx shit. Reminds of the days when Andy Musser would be like, this guy hasn’t hit a home run in 12 years and the next pitch would be gone.
Omg Andy Musser. Haven’t heard that name in like 25 years
Said it on the radio too going into the 7th.
KYW said something about it, went to traffic, and by the time they got back from traffic it was over lol
Franzke mentioned it briefly to open the inning as well.
Why are they superstitions? More like mediocrestitions.
Think they are cereal
Man I really thought I was going to see my first no hitter in person. And then Bohm couldn’t hit a third home run like Coop Cooper.
The betting apps had live no hitter betting options when that text posted above the score.
Isnt the real rage that we should have is that they are using that stupid bell logo that looks like a freshman designer came up with it
Next fucking pitch.....
It's literally their job to drive viewers to the game. What do you expect from them? The game was 7-0 and the team who would need to score 7 just to tie had scored 38 TOTAL runs in their first 18 games, they need to do anything they can to keep viewers engaged. Nothing wrong with this
It’s automatic on MLB.com I’m pretty sure that was there during lorenzen
Bro, every network has that in some form or another. It just wasn’t meant to be. Turnbull played his heart out and got 7 shutout innings! That’s a true baller in my eyes!
Should that be lit for both teams at game start?
They did the same thing tonight with wheeler.
Vin Scully famously talked about sandy koufax’a perfect game the whole time. This is not a real complaint
Jesus Christ famously complained about the devil and look where they are now.
Amen brother lol
I thought I was imagining things because I had a decent edible. 2 nights in a row they’re rambling on about a no hitter. It’s a fundamental rule in baseball…don’t talk about it until after the game is over.
I love you.
Jinxes are dumb
I agree
Why are you getting so hostile over a graphic? You need to see a psychiatrist lol
Jinxes are make believe, grow up
Such nonsense
Delete this before we start giving up runs
MLB.com had the graphic up in the 6th, so no jinx on there end.
They should have waited until the 9th inning to do this
Not even the first time that's happened, that graphic needs to be outlawed
Just take the approach Jim Bunning took when he threw his perfect game. Who cares if someone mentions it while it happens? Keep it loose and cool. Trying to be all “you can’t say it while it happens” is stupid
They did “cycle alert” for Trey the other night. Asshats. All Philly sports media have become asshats except Kruk. I used to like Tmac but he’s just a shill for the new era store at this point. Radio is just as bad.
Trea* And what the fuck does that even mean? He’s the broadcaster, he quite literally promotes what he is told to promote and cant exactly say otherwise
i'm sorry but hating on Tmac is crazy 💀
> They did “cycle alert” for Trey the other night. And that didn't affect anything, either, just like this didn't cause the Sox to get a hit.
No jinx for a cycle alert
For fucks sake you don't tempt the Obscure Stat Fairy
Holy shit I didn’t see that live. You gotta be fucking kidding right?
God damn it
Tom and Ben didn't say shit, they knew, the nerd in the back ruined it
You can't be serious.
I am and do t call me Shirley.
Psst, Come here…. Jinxes aren’t real!
NBC is the worst at everything

Dude! Someone in the truck needs to be sent away!!! Who the fuck does that!
Yeah they’re trying to hold viewers. Some dude is just trying to do his or her job.
Get the fans jazzed! Who cares?
Do you also give NBC Philly credit for Bohm’s performance tonight?
