There is an old saying that stick with me after events like Game 2 of the World Series: “If an umpire does their job properly, no one will ever know their name.”
Blake Snell was absolutely fantastic during his first outing of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It may have been the performance of his life and he was absolutely cruising. The former Cy Young award winner had a no-hit performance against one of the best offenses in baseball through four and two-thirds innings pitched.
It was also a performance that placed among some of the greatest pitchers the game has ever seen; Snell became just the third pitcher to have two strikeouts in four consecutive innings, joining Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson.
