79 pitches now through 8 innings--that's amazing.

it's been...ten years since the last perfect game?

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!

He's a huge fan favorite here in ATL.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 29 June 2023 18:59 (nine months ago) link
He is fantastic to watch when he’s dealing and he seems like a great person as well.

Not sure if I knew this or not; Ron Hassey caught two of the 24 perfect games. He has some significance in Blue Jay history as the guy who made the last Yankee out in the division-clinching game of '85.

Bello took a no-hitter into the 8th last night
Boston lost 2-0 obviously

He’s so special. They need to extend him yesterday.

A.J. Finch just removed Manning 7 outs from a no-hitter. I'm usually the old-school complainer in these situations, but it was an easy call--third start ofr the IL, 90+ pitches, 2-0 lead, just walked a guy and looked bad on ball four.

Tiger fans have had so little to root for this year, that was nice. If Belt had gotten a bunt down to break it up--1000% defensible in context--I think he would have needed a police escort out of town.

Guess I should have tuned in.

Valdez has completed 8, only 81 pitches.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 2 August 2023 02:12 (eight months ago) link
Did it! (And got to see it on TSN.)
You know what I'm going to say...infinitely more impressive than last year's WS no-hitter. (I couldn't even remember if it was Valdez who contributed five innings or someone else--it was Javier.) Seven strikeouts, one walk, 93 pitches, 65 strikes.
Does the franchise that got caught cheating deserve a no-hitter and the return of Verlander in the same day?
