Man I didn't expect that Bradish's gem was going to be at best the third-best start in the American League tonight

I was only half-following online, but I think the Jays' Kikuchi had no-hit the Yankees through five innings last night...wasted again.

Wow. That is the ONE cardinals game I’ve missed watching this year. Including spring training.

40 year old wainwright, practically dead from old age, threw 7.2 hitless tonight, then went through 9 on 3 hits and 1 run. game's still going, tied 1-1 with the brewers in the 10th

Aaron Nola throw a complete game tonight and gave up 1 run but got the loss.

has wainwright yet disavowed his pledge to retire?
― mookieproof, Sunday, 14 August 2022 02:23 (one year ago) link
as far as i know, he has never said he'd retire! it was kind of an assumption. a one-year deal, molina's last year, he's turning and "his body is changing", he has hair in places where he did not have hair before. but afaik he never pledged retirement. i very much expect him to pitch next year and look forward to it. did not expect him to turn into bob tewksbury at the end of his career but i love it
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Sunday, 14 August 2022 02:34 (one year ago) link
and, if it's not clear, i am a total jackass for openly wishing for him to retire 3-5 years ago. i thought he was done, i was totally wrong. all hail the christian god

tampa's drew rasmussen is perfect through six on 54 pitches (!)
but he has only thrown more than six once this year
― mookieproof, Sunday, 14 August 2022 19:30 (one year ago) link
perfect through eight, 78 pitches
only gone to a three-ball count twice, both in the second inning
― mookieproof, Sunday, 14 August 2022 19:56 (one year ago) link
79 pitches now through 8 innings--that's amazing.
― clemenza, Sunday, 14 August 2022 19:56 (one year ago) link
it's been...ten years since the last perfect game?
― Michael F Gill, Sunday, 14 August 2022 19:58 (one year ago) link
They're talking about it on the Jays' broadcast right now; Buck Martinez, one of the two announcers, was in the lineup when Len Barker threw his PG against Toronto in '81.

beloved ex-ray brett phillips was in line to be the final batter but oh well

I thought for sure I'd set it up so Odor would break it up.

Lost the perfect game, the no-hitter, the Maddux, the shutout, and the CG in about two minutes.

Wacha took a no-hitter into the eighth inning against the Royals before surrendering a leadoff single to right field by Michael Massey. That was Wacha’s 103rd and final pitch.
Not live but just finding out about this.

I'd rather that than he gets through the 8th with 120 pitches and they pull him.

Domingo Germán perfect through seven for the Yankees
― Bee OK, Thursday, 29 June 2023 03:51 (nine months ago) link
really?? wow
Oh, it's against Oakland
― frogbs, Thursday, 29 June 2023 03:53 (nine months ago) link
Now perfect through 8!
― Bee OK, Thursday, 29 June 2023 03:54 (nine months ago) link
Your right, it does take some of the shine off as it's against Oaktown. Still tuned in.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 29 June 2023 03:57 (nine months ago) link
sheesh 0 0 2 is a really embarrassing scoreline. like "nah we didn't hit any balls but we did bungle a few plays on defense"

Lol as they make another error

Yankees can have a position player pitch to close out this perfect game.

wow would not have guessed the last one was 11 years ago. King Felix!!
― frogbs, Thursday, 29 June 2023 04:16 (nine months ago) link
Yeah King Felix and Matt Cain were the last ones in 2012 iirc? Good for Germán I guess, now he’ll be remembered for something else besides beating his girlfriend.

one of the better pitched games you’ll see, yes oakland sucks but german really didn’t make any mistakes. all in all it looked relatively easy for him lol
― ludicrously capacious bag (voodoo chili), Thursday, 29 June 2023 04:37 (nine months ago) link
he gave up 17 runs in his 5 1/3 innings pitched before tonight lol

This was on TV here, I could have watched it (saw Stanton's HR). Obviously, though, what possible reason would there be for doing so? So I continued with my approximately 24th re-watch of Mad Men, one for every perfect game ever pitched. Well played.

not the easiest guy to root for
― mookieproof, Thursday, 29 June 2023 07:34 (nine months ago) link
Perfect games are news: golfed with two people today who weren't baseball fans, but they'd heard about Germán.
Posnanski has a column up, not shareable. "But, again, what are we supposed to feel? German is, to say the least, a difficult guy to root for, sort of the opposite of King Félix"--just rewording things enough to dodge plagiarism.

My son and I went to the Twins-Braves game on Monday night. Both starting pitchers (Sonny Gray and Spencer Strider) were outstanding. It was a true pitching duel through seven innings.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 29 June 2023 18:52 (nine months ago) link
I’m really glad Strider regained his form, I love watching that little guy pitch!
