This is amazing, he threw a perfect game against the 2nd best offense in the league (2nd by just one run to the Yankees at the start of the day), the team with by far the best record in baseball that had one of the best W-L starts on the road in the history of the game. This might have been the "toughest" PG ever thrown!

by "toughest" I mean "degree of difficulty"

also, being dallas braden and all
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 9 May 2010 22:33 (thirteen years ago) link
he didn't have a full count after the 4th inning
that was a 3-1 pitch that kapler broke his bat on

Not a perfect game today, although he had a no-hitter through six, but Mike Leake held on and got another win today for the Reds. He has been the Reds best starter by far so far this year.
The guy looks really good and very polished. While he has a decent fastball, Leake seems to really know how to pitch.

Not sure what's more bizarre: Braden today or Juan Uribe drawing four walks.

haha what the fuck
i benched the dude in ilx fantasy today cause i was expecting the rays to murder him

So his mom died when he was in high school, and his grandmother raised him in Stockton.
And so he throws a perfect game at home in front of his grandmother and a lot of Stockton people on Mother's Day.
Bet Tim's got some Kirk-gems lined up.

oh, nevermind. the game recap just mentioned it.

hilar perfect game--braden was never above 90 and got 4 swinging strikes. but that's how they do in the 209

Mat Latos for SD... he's thrown 98 pitches through 8, only 2 baserunners allowed (1 hit, 1 error)

thru 6 now, though his pitch count is getting a bit high for someone who's only a few starts removed from a DL stint

funny thing about this is, it would be 0-0 right now but cameron maybin dropped a fly ball -- would've been interesting to see him take it into the tenth

i assume that you have to throw a complete game to get credit for a perfect game/no hitter, even if you throw 9+ innings?
― ok dennis hopper (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 30 May 2010 01:27 (thirteen years ago) link
idk i know someone did 12 innings back in the day, and iirc his team lost the game. when i was 13 I coulda told you all this
― k3vin k., Sunday, 30 May 2010 01:33 (thirteen years ago) link
seriously happy for halladay tho
― k3vin k., Sunday, 30 May 2010 01:34 (thirteen years ago) link
j0rdan i'm not sure, that time that oswalt got hurt and then the astros bullpen no-hit the yankees counts as a no-hitter, though it's not credited to any single one of them
― ciderpress, Sunday, 30 May 2010 02:09 (thirteen years ago) link
i guess i'm more interested/unsure of the implications of a guy throwing 10 perfect innings, getting pulled, and his team winning in the 11th, which was a very real possibility tonight
― ok dennis hopper (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 30 May 2010 02:11 (thirteen years ago) link
in that scenario obv someone else would've pitched in the 11th
― ok dennis hopper (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 30 May 2010 02:12 (thirteen years ago) link
here's a game where that happenedhttp://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PIT/PIT199707120.shtml
it's on the no-hitter list for sure, but i'm not sure if Cordova gets credit for a no-hitter by the book. he should though!
― ciderpress, Sunday, 30 May 2010 02:14 (thirteen years ago) link
also while i'm on B-R here's probably the worst tough-luck loss of all time for a pitcherhttp://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MLN/MLN195905260.shtml
