A Thread For Starting Pitchers That Are Doing Really Well

The question we always ask lately:

http://mlb.sbnation.com/2012/4/22/2965650/philip-humber-perfect-game-seattle-mariners-chicago-white-sox-history/in/2729507

At the time I think people were saying that David Wells' perfect game against the Twins in 1998 was the "worst" ... their team offense is fifth already worst on the list, but on that particular day some of their best hitters were injured/not playing so the team they actually fielded in that game was even worse than that.

James McDonald is nine outs away from exiting with a no-decision.

not any more!

OH yeah?

not philip humber

becoming a father takes its toll

weaver thru seven

eight

nine.

crazy day of baseball, jeez

lol at the angels announcers refusing to mention it until the end

Weaver's parents and wife were at the game and met up with him on the field. Pretty cool

Hugging his dad and laughin' through tears.

wow, glad I missed the entire crazy night of basball so I could review a fucking DVD (my life sucks)

Verlander, Pirates: six innings, 65 (I think) pitches

And seven Ks with those 65 pitches. That's pretty efficient.

Was just waiting for that inning to end before posting.

Bucknor's strike zone just opened up about six inches, too.

Uh, nevermind -- contracted on the following pitch.

82 pitches through seven.

he really doesn't need to throw another one yet, c'mon Bucs

Ryan, Koufax, Cy Young, Feller, Larry Corcoran...

Would be thrilled with a stress-free win.

mlbtv is blacked out for me right now, ugh

This'll jinx him for sure, but the next three guys are hitting .198, .160, and .159.

yeah i saw that, lol pirates

xxp yup me too :/
fuk u mlb, i wanted to watch the epicness that is clint barmes v verlander

Oh man, I wish I could see this.

Watching the radar readings on Gameday, it's like 98, 98, 97, 100...

jesus christ he is good

i'm just impressed the pirates have drawn two walks

Lineup's best OBP after McCutchen is .308 (Walker).

wtf is wrong with mlb.tv? are most subscribers happy that the live video works 40% of the time?

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi
Pirates due up in the ninth: McKenry, Harrison, Walker. Neil Walker, of course, is the brother-in-law of #Tigers center fielder Don Kelly.

Yes, of course. Who could not be aware of that?

both pittsburgh boys

every time someone mentions don kelly i assume they're talking about some decently-regarded guy who retired in 1959

Have a strange feeling that the lack of Austin Jackson in center is going to be a factor here.

guh

welp

49% fastballs tonight? Really?

aw

Aargh.

Verlander on suicide watch.

pirates were last no-hit a month before i was born (by bob gibson)

@DKnobler
Verlander's 9th CG with 4 hits or less, 5th with 2 or less.

Broken up by Josh H....the one with the lifetime .280 OBP.
