41 years old, and according to Baseball Reference he doesn't have a nickname. That's not fair.

Ah, I saw footage of him crying at his street sign earlier. Bud was in town too; not sure if he stuck around for the game.

He's also been way better on the road than at home, so this is welcomed.

BP podcast guys call that a "hidden perfect game"

Seems kind of weird to compare what Petit did as a reliever to what Buehrle did as a starter but what do I know.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Thursday, 28 August 2014 21:14 (nine years ago) link
well obviously buehrle didn't do it all in one game either
petit was probably better rested for more of his batters, and buehrle's opponents were probably better-prepared for him -- more video, seeing him a couple times in the game -- but doing it over the course of seven games means petit succeeded on the road, at home, against different teams and hitters, on days his stuff was good and days it wasn't, etc.
anyway they're both pretty impressive, even in an era in which everyone is constantly striking out
― mookieproof, Friday, 29 August 2014 00:21 (nine years ago) link
LOL it took him a whole two games, one of which was a perfect game, what a slacker.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Friday, 29 August 2014 14:44 (nine years ago) link
I think it illustrates the degree to which such runs are random events
