Are Jinxes Real?

[m0nkey]

Discuss.

 

I say no

[Lou]

No

[m0nkey]

No hitter

[RallyMo]

Nope!

[m0nkey]

Put this thread in the HOF

[Brandon]

Nope

[Stradling]

Of course not. Well not anything we do is a jinx. 

[Jason]

maybe for children they are 

[bloodbrother]

Absolutely not

[HeavenlyHalos]

Ha, of course not. Don't be ridiculous 

[AngelsLakersFan]

If you were following along, the perfect game was jinxed but the no hitter was not 

[Lou]

My counting the outs left ensured the no-hitter.

One day, you'll be telling your kids stories about me.

There’s no reason we can’t discuss it, but the players shouldn’t and the broadcasters shouldn’t. I’d rather the reporters I follow on Twitter don’t either. Just saw what’s going on with out mentioning no hitter or perfect game.

Tbf I think Ballys put up the No hitter graphic like 8 times.

Jinxes aren't real, confirmed.

[tdawg87]

I think I remember Lou saying "no-hitter" at least a few times during Weaver's no-no. Pissed off a few nerds.

Good times.

The players probably don't discuss it but don't see any issue with announcers bringing it up.

I’d rather they allude to it and not say it. That’s just my preference.

[tdawg87]

I prefer when the announcers say it using sign language.

[HeavenlyHalos]

I understand the players not saying it which makes some sense. Anybody else, whatever, discuss it as much as you'd like, you will have absolutely zero impact on what happens.

If I could talk to Justin Verlander I wouldn't because I'd be too busy looking at his wife.

If I’m a thousand miles away, tweeting “no hitter alert!” won’t change anything happening in the game?

[PattyD22]

Hell no they aren’t.

But I haven’t washed my game jersey in 6 games and not changed my hat I’ve worn on a 6 game win streak.

So yeah, jinxes aren’t real.
