Yusmeiro Petit (who truthfully I'd never heard of) through 8--doing exceptionally well.

how many pitchers have pitched this exceptionally well in a game out of the stretch?

oh man you have to catch that
― k3vin k., Saturday, 7 September 2013 04:27 (ten years ago) link
like you are not making the playoffs anyway, you dive for that and if it gets by you for three bases so be it
― k3vin k., Saturday, 7 September 2013 04:28 (ten years ago) link
Could that possibly be more heartbreaking? Umpire was all over the place--squeezed him on a couple of pitches, gave him two, and I swear that was a 2-2 on Chavez.
― clemenza, Saturday, 7 September 2013 04:29 (ten years ago) link
2-2 strike, that should say.
i remember yusmeiro petit! he used to be a pretty big prospect iirc. his other starts this year have also looked quite pretty

I want to see that 2-2 pitch again--sure looked good last night.

You can see the 2-2 pitch around 1:40 of this clip:

Okay, it was a ball--so close. The umpire could have given it to him...great job by Chavez in holding up.
― clemenza, Saturday, 7 September 2013 12:57 (ten years ago) link
yeah i thought the 2-2 pitch was a ball, but the opening pitch if i remember looked like it could have gone either way - he started the last batter off at 2-0 iirc

@MLB 7mAndrew Cashner pulled off what some call a Maddux (shutout on fewer than 100 pitches): http://atmlb.com/166aCnq

Other active notables include: Jamie Moyer and Bartolo Colon, with 4 each; Josh Beckett, Chris Carpenter, Tim Hudson, Jason Marquis, Roy Oswalt and James Shields each have 3.

* 28 Madduxes have been 1-0 games, including Roy Halladay's performance on September 6th, 2003, when he became the only pitcher to throw an extra-inning Maddux, going 10 frames on just 99 pitches. Just when you thought Halladay couldn't be any greater, right?
