― felicity, Saturday, 12 April 2008 19:26 (seventeen years ago)
not really shocked cuz dempster showed #3-type stuff in relief last year, mixing in a lot of above avg pitches but nothing super-special; having him in the bp was kind of confounding to me. havent seen him yet this year but my guess is that he'll be a quality starter
― deeznuts, Saturday, 12 April 2008 19:32 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah the shock is from years of mis-having him as a closer.

― Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 17:37 (fifteen years ago)
by pitcher VORP, Marquis is 29th in the NL, 7 places behind his teammate Ubaldo Jimenez, who gives up homers about a third as often. Marquis' strikeout total of 4.3/9 IP also suggests he's been lucky, as does his .276 BABIP versus .333 for Jimenez.

Morbs, you're right, of course, but Marquis is so regularly denigrated as, at best, a league average innings-eater (and I'm not arguing this isn't true) that when he actually does, you know, top the most visible stat list, I'm happy to celebrate him. Ubaldo is just a stud. Keep watching this guy (probably lose it completely tonight, ending our 8-win streak singlehandedly, hey ho).

Amazing that a no-hitter was thrown w/ that 3B-SS combo on the field.

Those were the best seats I've ever had for a major-league game. I was in the front row, third base side for Nolan Ryan's seventh no-hitter at Arlington Stadium, but the game itself is kind of a blur and we were out just past third.
I didn't think to get a SF paper the next morning :(

Buehrle threw his perfect game pitching at home at U.S. Cellular Field against the Tampa Bay Rays in a 5-0 victory on July 23, 2009. It was his second career no-hitter and the second perfect game in White Sox history. It was also highlighted by Dewayne Wise's catch that robbed a home run off Gabe Kapler and preserved the perfect game for Buehrle in the 9th inning. Wise's catch instantly resuled in a massive and long-lasting erection on the part of Ken "The Hawk" Harelson.

This is amazing, he threw a perfect game against the 2nd best offense in the league (2nd by just one run to the Yankees at the start of the day), the team with by far the best record in baseball that had one of the best W-L starts on the road in the history of the game. This might have been the "toughest" PG ever thrown!

Not a perfect game today, although he had a no-hitter through six, but Mike Leake held on and got another win today for the Reds. He has been the Reds best starter by far so far this year.
The guy looks really good and very polished. While he has a decent fastball, Leake seems to really know how to pitch.

Seriously though, the number of near-no-hitters and PGs is way up this year, innit? Is it just a contingent statistical anomaly, or are pitchers finally eating their Wheaties or what?
― Daleks in NYC (Leee), Sunday, 30 May 2010 18:40 (fourteen years ago)
it's mostly an anomaly. 4-homer games are about as rare as perfect games historically, and there were 2 of those in 2002 and another in 2003 and people were like 'oh maybe these aren't gonna be as rare anymore' and there's been none since.
the only empirical explanation i can think of is strikeouts are continuing to go up league-wide which means fewer balls in play and thus fewer chances for bloopy/seeing eye hits to break up dominant pitching performances

this is on some jonathong williamsmong real time wikipedia editing:
Origin of the officeThe unique title commissioner, which is a title now applied to the heads of several other major sports leagues as well as baseball, derives from its predecessor office, the National Commission. The National Commission was the ruling body of professional baseball starting with the National Agreement of 1903, which made peace between the National League and the American League (see History of baseball in the United States). It consisted of three members: the two League presidents and a Commission chairman, whose primary responsibilities were to preside at meetings and to mediate disputes. Following the Black Sox Scandal, team owners decided in 1920 to reform the National Commission with a membership of non-baseball men. However, their pick for chairman, former federal judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, would only accept an appointment as sole commissioner. He also demanded unlimited authority over all aspects of organized baseball. The owners agreed, in order to combat the perception of the sport being controlled by gambling interests.If Bud Selig cares about baseball even slightly, he will overturn that abomination of a call made at the end of the tigers/indians game on June 2 2010 and give Galarraga his perfect game. I dont care what the official rules are on overturning a call after the game is over, and i dont think the rest of baseball fans care either. It just absolutely has to be done. I have never seen a worse call in my life with so much at stake in a baseball game, and i think most people would agree. If it isnt changed i will lose all my respect for Bud Selig.

its not perfect then though
― ciderpress, Thursday, 3 June 2010 15:57 (fourteen years ago)
that wd make no sense.
Overturning would basically be making perfect games more important than WINS, WORLD SERIES, etc. It would open a Pandora's box. Which is why I half-expect Beelzebud to do it.

It's probably the best happy medium. They shouldn't overturn the call.

By call I mean safe/out, not hit/error.
Neyer:
The only way overruling Joyce works is if there's a rule in the books that can reasonably be applied retroactively. You might not like it, but if Selig announces a rule next Monday afternoon and applies it retroactively to the 2nd of June, he'll at least have the weight of authority on his side.*
* Granted, even this would open up a huge tub of smelly earthworms. Wednesday night, a few hours after Jim Joyce took the stage, the Twins lost in the 10th inning to the Mariners on a play that might well have been overturned with the benefit of video review. And how many more game-changing plays might be reversed, with video review, between now and next Monday afternoon?
But an "interim" decision would set a terrible precedent, because this theoretical "interim" might last weeks or months or years. Does the commissioner really want to be in the position of overruling umpires every time an umpire blows a call that might have changed the result of a game? Or simply changed a player's statistics? (Because that's all that happened Wednesday night in Detroit: a player's statistics were very slightly affected.)

Joyce was crying as he walked onto the field -- looked like a wreck. (It's OK -- he only has to call balls and strikes today.) Galarraga, owner of a new Corvette, handed him the lineup. Heard what sounded like mild booing.

I've a theory--I think the controversy around last night's game will give Galarraga fame beyond that of say Dallas Braden. Many baseball fans can tell you Haddix had the 12 perfect innings, even if he didn't throw one of the twenty perfect games. Fewer could tell you Jim Bunning had one of the twenty. What do you think?
Klaw (1:07 PM)
Love this point. Wish I'd thought of it. 20 pitchers have thrown perfect games - how many can you name? How many from before you were born? I could have named Haddix - or Floyd Bevens, if you want to extend this - but when I tried the perfect games quiz on sporcle I got fewer than half of the ones from before I was born.
mike in MN (mn)
The fascinating thing to me is that people are more upset over a call that didn't effect the outcome of a game, than they are over the calls last post-season, or the call in the Twins' game last night. A perfect game or not, the outcome is what matters most, yet the stink over this is much larger than the stink over calls that effect who wins.
Klaw (1:08 PM)
Also very true. The Walk Like a Sabermetrician blog has an excellent post up on this very subject. "It was a perfect game!" is not a counterargument. More important calls are blown every October, yet there's more hue and cry over this than there was over Eric Gregg's NLCS-altering strike zone.

Fay Vincent on whether Selig should reverse call: "It would be very popular. But I think time and history would show it would be a mistake."
― no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Thursday, 3 June 2010 18:41 (fourteen years ago)
first point is bullshit--wouldn't any pitcher rather have the perfect than be the guy who just missed? who cares "how you're remembered"
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 3 June 2010 18:47 (fourteen years ago)
second point--it's an extreme situation because it was the last out. it's not really complicated why people are invested in this. "there are more calls blown...." isn't a counterargument either.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 3 June 2010 18:48 (fourteen years ago)
My Facebook friends who have recently "liked" Armando Galarraga and A Million Bajillion Strong to Recognize Armando Galarraga's PERFECT Game and otherwise pay no attention to baseball would LOVE IT.

Went up prior to copyediting, apparently.
Baseball comissioner Bud Selig said he would look at the game's umpiring system and the expanded use of instant replay, but would not reverse the blown call that cost Armando Galarraga of the Detroit Tigers a perfect game on Wednesday night."While the human element has always been an integral part of baseball, it is vital that mistakes on the field be addressed," Selig said in a statement. "Given last night's call and other recent events, I will examine our umpiring system, the expanded use of instant replay and all other related features."Selig said he would consult with baseball's labor unions and the game's special committee for on-field matters before announcing any decisions.Selig also praised umpire Jim Jouce, whose blown call in the bottom of the ninth cost Galarraga the perfect game, as well as Galarraga and Tigers manager Jim Leyland for the way they handled the situation.

A Toledo man who shares his name with a major league umpire received harassing phone calls after the ump made a botched call during a Detroit Tigers game.Fans who were upset about the call, which prevented a perfect game for Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga Wednesday night, heard the umpire was from Toledo, so they looked up Jim Joyce in the phone book.The Jim Joyce they found was the wrong one.Joyce told WTOL-TV the calls were pretty vulgar. He also says he had to cancel his home phone service to get the calls to stop.

I'm too young to remember McLain's '68--I started watching baseball in '70--so my frame of reference for a "fast start" by a starting pitcher is Wilbur Wood in '73, Gaylord Perry in '74, and Randy Jones in '76. (The real purpose of that last sentence: the opportunity to say "I'm too young".) I still remember SI's dramatic "Threat to Win 30" Jones cover. Anyway, here's how they all stack up against Jiminez as of June 13:
Wood: 14-6, 2.51Perry: 11-1, 1.33Jones: 12-1, 2.10Jiminez: 12-1, 1.16
I mistakenly had it in my mind that '72 was Perry's great start. A few others while I'm at it:
McLain: 9-2, 2.19Carlton, '72: 7-6, 2.83 (he proceeds to win 20 the rest of the way!)Guidry, '78: 10-0, 1.57Gooden, '85: 9-3, 1.67Clemens, '86: 11-0, 2.28 (does not lose until July 2)
There are probably a handful of fast starts just as good the past 40 years; I just checked the most famous seasons that came to mind. It's close, but Jiminez has to place first on that list. If you take into account where he's pitching, it's no longer close.

the no-hitters are all just a hiccup but if teams continue to work on improving their defense while sending out the mark reynoldses of the world to strike out twice per game, there's gonna be a lot less scoring for a while

yeah i was being dumb but it is true that league strikeout rate is at an all time high at the same time as defensive improvements are the hot front-office thing. i doubt it's a coincedence that scoring is down in such an environment.

“When I eventually told them that, yes, a perfect game is ultimately more impressive, they said, ‘Have you ever tried doing that?’” Verlander continued. “I love them like crazy, but sometimes I don’t know why I bother trying to share my life with them.”

― A Chuck Person's Guide to Mark Aguirre (Andy K), Sunday, 31 July 2011 19:13 (thirteen years ago)
Summary:
Weaver allegedly mouthing off all day, as he does.
Guillen pimped a HR.
Weaver immediately threw at the head of the next hitter.
Weaver and Scioscia ejected.
Aybar led off following inning with bunt attempt (E-1).
― A Chuck Person's Guide to Mark Aguirre (Andy K), Sunday, 31 July 2011 19:14 (thirteen years ago)
(Some people believe Weaver thought Maggs was styling on an earlier HR.)
― A Chuck Person's Guide to Mark Aguirre (Andy K), Sunday, 31 July 2011 19:16 (thirteen years ago)
was it actually an error or was it a generous ruling by the scorer
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 31 July 2011 19:16 (thirteen years ago)
And another E-1.
― A Chuck Person's Guide to Mark Aguirre (Andy K), Sunday, 31 July 2011 19:17 (thirteen years ago)
well that would've been a FC anyway
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 31 July 2011 19:17 (thirteen years ago)
Definitely an error. Verlander seems amped up after the Weaver-Guillen incident.

Tigers/Angels game was the game of the year so far.
Verlander yelled at Aybar and told him he's getting hit next time. I don't know if I've ever seen that before? Like, pointing to to part on the body where he's gonna hit him?

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.

Absolutely true: after I calculated Dickey's game score over on the Marquee thread, I started wondering what would get you to a GS of 100--took about 10 seconds to figure out that a perfect game plus 13 strikeouts would do it. That was probably about 11:00 last night.

― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 14 June 2012 16:16 (twelve years ago)
Dickey's wasn't quite "almost perfect" -- two runners reached, one on the infield hit that Wright couldn't corral in the 1st, the other on a Wright error in the 9th.
Perfect games are determined by the whole team even moreso than no-hitters... I didn't see the Mets game, so I don't know how many plays were near-hits, like the two outfield catches for Cain.
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 14 June 2012 16:25 (twelve years ago)
Even in the 80's, the top pitchers were walking 3-4 batters per 9 IP. K/BB and BB/9IP rates now are completely unlike any other period in baseball history, in some sense every pitcher now is a control pitcher compared to any other era. So it's not so surprising that PG's are happening more often.

That's the thing I hate about the score being 1-0--he can justifiably do that, doubly so playing for a team in a pennant race. 5-0, he wouldn't think of it. (xpost)

I was looking at the list of perfect games:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_game
Of the 21 post-1900, Felix's was the sixth 1-0 score; four have been 2-0. Obvious, but no long waits between innings is an advantage. Also, six of the 21 have come in the last three years now. Based on what I know of probability, 15 in 109 years followed by 6 in three years doesn't compute. I assume the biggest factor is the increase in batters striking out.

Miller is only the second pitcher in the last 31 seasons to allow the first batter to reach base, then retire every hitter after that for a nine-inning complete-game win, joining John Lackey (2006 Angels against the Oakland Athletics).

interesting. i'm more curious about why pitching is getting so much better than what it means for defense.
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 13 May 2013 03:04 (eleven years ago)
This article explains a lot:
http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8048897/the-age-pitcher-how-got-here-mlb
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Monday, 13 May 2013 11:34 (eleven years ago)
I'm not sure if that chart points to the conclusion that pitching's getting better (literally not sure; I don't know). My interpretation is that as defenses get better, hitters have concluded it's better to swing from the heels and go for home runs more deliberately, which drives up both HR and strikeouts, and also drives down balls in play.
― clemenza, Monday, 13 May 2013 11:36 (eleven years ago)
I've just skimmed NoTime's link, will read the whole thing later. HR aren't up, though they've (more or less) stabilized beginning in 2007. Maybe pitching is getting better.
― clemenza, Monday, 13 May 2013 12:23 (eleven years ago)

JJ Hoover has been a witch out of the bullpen for the Reds for the past couple months.
I kinda like the Reds pitching if they get to the playoffs with their top starters and the bullpen as is, especially considering Cingrani will be a nasty additional arm to have in the pen (most likely).

― clemenza, Saturday, 7 September 2013 12:57 (eleven years ago)
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

it was a Maddux. I meant.
so let's say it was alvarez's spot that came up instead of koyle hill's/greg dobbs' -- do you let him bat, or do you decide that the marlins have a better shot of scoring here with a pinch hitter than they do of alvarez pitching another no-hit inning + marlins scoring in the 10th?
alvarez was 9-for-30 this year (113 ops+!), but still.

First and third of those Stieb almosts were the toughest--the bad hop over Manny Lee was incredible.
Darvish was towards the upper end of his pitch counts last night, but 126 doesn't seem to be all that unusual. He's had 68 career starts, and in 55 of them he's thrown over 100; 37 have been between 110-130. (His fewest ever is 81...that seems a little unusual, not getting knocked out early even once.)
If he comes up with a sore arm this year, you've earned the right to say "Told you so."

poor dave stieb. that dude was an incredible pitcher, though. he was the guy that during his era, he really felt like one of the five best pitchers in the game pretty consistently. he always seemed to be impressive out on the mound. it's funny how diminished his rep is (in large part due to the win/loss record) but he's kinda the poor man's blyleven and he was miles better than jack morris.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Saturday, 10 May 2014 17:38 (ten years ago)
I think his reputation's largely been restored the past few years thanks to newer metrics. He's one of a floating group of pitchers who regularly get mentioned as the best pitchers not in the HOF: him, Kevin Brown, Rick Reuschel, David Cone, a few others.
If you want a strange season, look at Stieb's 1985. Division winner, leads the league in ERA, 14-13.
― clemenza, Saturday, 10 May 2014 17:52 (ten years ago)
there were a lot of pitchers from this era who were almost all exceptionally good but for a brief period of time, mostly early to mid-'80s, and they're almost all forgotten now except by baseball heads. mario soto, john candelaria, steve rogers, a few others. i think a lot of the dudes who came to prominence in the latter part of the '80s really stole their thunder either through being so much better or just being on bigger teams (gooden, clemens, hershiser, saberhagen, viola, dave stewart, even bob welch with that ridic 27-6 season he had.) stieb and those others were pretty much the best in the game during their time but their time and their results and their teams were not really as thrilling, i guess.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Saturday, 10 May 2014 18:02 (ten years ago)
Almost none of the great pitchers from the late-70's and early-80's had long careers (Jack Morris is an exception, of course), for reasons that I don't think are clear. Their reputations have been hurt by some of the really embarrassing Cy Young votes in that time -- Stieb, Tanana, and Reuschel all probably should have won at some point in their careers.

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 (ten years ago)
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

― the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 21 June 2015 14:33 (nine years ago)
I guess HBP's can't be challenged, or they would have challenged the call. I can't think of a reason why they shouldn't be challenged though, unless umps feel it falls into the same category as arguing balls and strikes.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Sunday, 21 June 2015 17:39 (nine years ago)
There's a very long answer to this question that'll be in front of the paywall for at least the next few hours:
In his last two starts, Scherzer has game scores of 100 and 97. Has anyone ever had consecutive games above 95...or 90 for that matter?Asked by: Chihuahua332
http://www.billjamesonline.com/hey_bill/#46480
― clemenza, Monday, 22 June 2015 03:10 (nine years ago)
It's not 1998, you don't have to wait for Bill James.
Here's another way to look at it: Scherzer had back-to-back Game Scores of 100 and 97. According to the Baseball-Reference Play Index, since 1914 only one starter had registered consecutive Game Scores of at least 95 or higher in the same season: R.A. Dickey of the New York Mets in 2012, when the knuckleballer threw back-to-back one-hitters, with two walks and 25 strikeouts (and an unearned run in one of the games). His Game Scores were 95 and 96. Nolan Ryan, author of seven no-hitters, came closest to matching Vander Meer when he pitched a no-hitter on July 15, 1973, a 17-strikeout game that scored 100. In his next start, he took a no-hitter into the seventh inning (although he'd allowed an unearned run in the first). Ryan would pitch into the 11th inning that day, eventually losing the game and finishing with a Game Score of 87.

Cueto was filthy last night. It was one of his best games as a Red. Nats really didn't have much at all against him, he seemed to be ahead early on every count. Johnny has added this little extended pause to his wind up this year. It's a funky timing thing that has to seem weird to some batters.

Fact: for a true “pitcher’s” no hitter to occur, all the fielders must be bunched up in right field. This has only happened once, in 1906 and lasted 12 innings.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 6 May 2018 15:04 (seven years ago)
to morbs: yes I understand that and agree, but am just confused why that would be more the case in a combined no-hitter than a solo no-hitter
― na (NA), Sunday, 6 May 2018 16:34 (seven years ago)
"a purer kind of no-hitter"
I'm not sure if this means more or less luck-dependent.
To me, a combined no-hitter would involve more luck. Luck is part of any no-hitter--a great play or three, help from the umpires somewhere. But starting pitchers who pitch no-hitters almost uniformly have great stuff that day. The luck is the difference between the no-hitter that gets the headline and the two-hitter that's forgotten.
With multiple pitchers, though, the odds of throwing out three or four guys in a row who all have great stuff seems less likely. One or two of the one-inning contributors might have been perfectly average; getting though an inning without giving up a hit doesn't seem particularly noteworthy.

This thread has probably outlived its usefulness--like Keith, I couldn't care less unless it's a CG. (Two guys combining for four home runs doesn't thrill me either.) Anyway, a game I'm watching, Verlander's through five: 73 pitches, 8 strikeouts.

Phenomenal. I've caught the last few batters of lots of no-hitters/perfect games online, but (the nothingness of the game aside) that's probably the greatest pitched game I've ever seen where I watched almost the whole thing. He got a couple of close strikes, but I don't think there was anything close to a close play the whole game. I think he hit 100 for game score. I hope such games don't become permanently extinct.

If Verlander had retired this morning, here's how he'd stack up against Halladay:
V: 220-128, 3.35, 2943 IP, 2949 K, 128 ERA+, 3.43 FIP, 1.140 WHIP, 69.6 WARH: 203-105, 3.38, 2749 IP, 2117 K, 131 ERA+, 3.39 FIP, 1.178 WHIP, 65.4 WAR
Very close, but with Halladay drawing 85% support his first year on the ballot, I can't see where Verlander wouldn't do as well or better.

― clemenza, Monday, 2 September 2019 15:00 (five years ago)
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/justin-verlander-earned-that-no-hitter/
All no-hitters are impressive, as navigating an entire game without allowing a hit is a feat unto itself and generally comes with an excellent defensive performance combined with a great outing from the pitcher. Verlander’s no-hitter is one of the most impressive in recent history due to how little he relied on his teammates to complete the task.

Kyle Seager has been in the winning team of a no hitter 4 times, including a perfecto. He also has been on the losing side of 5 no-hitters... including a perfect game. That’s the highest total of no-hitters participation in history. Five of those have been at home: combined, Hernandez, Iwakuma, Means and Turnbull (T-Mobile Park is ridiculous). Of note that of the remaining four, one was in Canada, the other in Mexico.

the (slightly) deadened ball may have something to do with it. that about the weather? has it been cooler than usual in these places?
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 20 May 2021 07:52 (three years ago)
MLB is batting .236 this year (.245 last year, .252 the year before that), and the number of balls in play per game has also been steadily dropping -- exactly the conditions needed for no-hitters. It's a decade-long trend in hitting, and more no-hitters is one of the results.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 20 May 2021 09:28 (three years ago)
so this trend has been ongoing. due to just better pitchers throwing harder than ever, basically?
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 20 May 2021 10:04 (three years ago)
I think a change in approach too. More shifts and more hitters embracing their pull tendencies - willing to hit into the shift if they think they can clear the fences.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 20 May 2021 15:06 (three years ago)

#Dodgers C Austin Barnes on Clayton Kershaw being pulled from PG: "Later in the season, when he's a little more built up, I think he goes out there, but I think that's the right call, taking him out there. It was the right move, for sure. I think he was getting a little tired."— Mike DiGiovanna (@MikeDiGiovanna) April 13, 2022
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 13 April 2022 19:58 (three years ago)
Honestly, I doubt they'd leave him in then, either. It'd be "He's pitched a lot of innings for us this year, no point in pushing him."
I know I'm howling into the wind here, but...James used to say that pitch count was less important than how many pitches were thrown after the pitcher was tired--that that's when injuries happen. If you concede that there's some truth there--and maybe you don't--I question how tired Kershaw would be when he so clearly dominated the first seven innings.
I would have said "You get one baserunner or 90 pitches--either one happens, you're out."
And what if he's at 90 pitches and one batter away? I don't know.

― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 13 April 2022 20:50 (three years ago)
He was definitely okay with it:
Kershaw had no issue with Roberts' thought process, telling reporters after the game his manager made "the right decision."
If he wasn't, though, I'm not sure we'd ever know.
Roberts' decision to pull Kershaw drew comparisons to another call he made in 2016, his first year managing L.A. On Sept. 10, 2016, Roberts removed Rich Hill after seven perfect innings due to injury concerns, becoming the first manager in AL/NL history to remove a pitcher from a perfect game after seven innings, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Can't say as I remember that, but I was probably on here whining about it.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 20:51 (three years ago)

I might send in an "Ask Bill" about this, but I suspect he'll either beg off (because of his time with the Red Sox, I find he's more reluctant to criticize guys like Roberts who've been around the game for a long time--one of the things I like less about him now) or even agree with the decision.

honest q: what's the most pitches a starting pitcher has thrown so far in a game this year?
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 21:03 (three years ago)
just wondering if starting pitchers are going 100+ already.
looks like scherzer threw 96 yesterday
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 21:05 (three years ago)
My guess is Kershaw today, almost certainly.
I totally understand all the arguments against. It's just...I see baseball becoming less and less popular all the time, and I do wonder if there's connection between the two. I became a fan in the '70s primarily because of the players and all the wondrous things they did. Willie Stargell hit 40 HR and 40 doubles? Is that even possible? Etc., etc.
If you feel strongly that 20 more pitches would have potentially done long-term damage to Kershaw, then of course it's an easy decision. I just personally don't believe that.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 21:07 (three years ago)
It was actually today Scherzer threw 96.
Here's where I'd differentiate...He only gave up one run, but 96 pitches over 5 innings is a lot; he had eight baserunners (5 hits/3 BB), so he wasn't exactly sailing. In that case--and just based on the boxscore--I'd say they left him out there too long, pushing him to 5.0 IP so he could get the win.

jaffe:
The Dodgers couldn’t have asked for much more from Clayton Kershaw than what he gave them in his first start of the 2022 season, and so they didn’t. Faced with the unenviable choice of letting the future Hall of Famer push himself into the red in pursuit of a perfect game — under frigid conditions in Minnesota, no less — or take a more prudent course with a 34-year-old hurler whose last regular-season appearance placed his future in doubt, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts went against all sentimentality. He pulled Kershaw after seven spotless innings and 80 pitches, a move that the pitcher later called “the right choice,” and the Dodgers settled for a combined one-hitter and a 7-0 victory at Target Field....Under normal circumstances, given his 80-pitch count, Kershaw would have been in the clear to chase after the 24th perfect game in major league history and the first since the Mariners’ Félix Hernández’s August 15, 2012 masterpiece against the Rays. Kershaw had already notched a no-hitter against the Rockies at Dodger Stadium on June 18, 2014, missing out on a perfect game only due to a Hanley Ramirez throwing error. These were not normal circumstances, however, and not just because the first-pitch temperature at Target Field was 38 degrees, with 18 mph winds and a wind chill factor of 28 degrees.Kershaw has landed on the injured list in each of the last five seasons, averaging just 25 starts and 157 innings in the non-pandemic years and topping out at 28 starts and 178.1 innings while navigating a variety of back, shoulder, and elbow ailments. When he’s been available, he’s generally been excellent, making three All-Star teams, each in years accompanied by Cy Young support; in 2017, he won his fifth ERA title, topped 200 strikeouts for the seventh time, and placed second in the Cy Young voting behind Max Scherzer. Last year, despite an ERA that ballooned to a career-high 3.55 due to his late-season woes, he produced a 16.7% swinging strike rate, the highest in the majors among pitchers with at least 100 innings. During all of those starts and stops, he’s helped the Dodgers to three pennants and, in 2020, their long-elusive championship.Though he’s shed that particular burden, Kershaw brought additional baggage to Wednesday’s start. In his last regular season appearance, on October 1, 2021, he had retired just five of 10 Brewers over the course of 42 pitches before leaving the mound due to discomfort in his left forearm. That abortive outing was his fourth start after a 10-week absence due to his forearm inflammation. The early departure ruled him out for the 2021 postseason, depriving him of a chance to help the Dodgers defend their title and sending him into free agency for the first time with a great deal of uncertainty about whether he’d return, not only to Los Angeles but to baseball at all.Kershaw underwent a platelet-rich plasma injection into his left flexor tendon in early October, didn’t begin throwing again until January, and didn’t re-sign with the Dodgers until March 11. On the day after the lockout ended, he agreed to a one-year, $17 million deal with incentives that could take him to $22 million. He made only three Cactus League starts, then followed with a five-inning, 75-pitch simulated game on April 7, the day before the Dodgers opened their season against the Rockies in Colorado.That confluence of circumstances made completing the perfect game too tall an order, but that probably would have been the case for any pitcher given the hasty run-up to the season. Through Tuesday, no starter had pitched more than seven innings in a single game, only five out of 150 had gone more than six innings, and only six had topped 90 pitches. As the game returned from a commercial break at the top of the seventh, the SportsNet Los Angeles feed showed Kershaw and Roberts conversing in the Dodgers’ dugout. The subject of their discussion was no mystery. Via The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya:

Dave Roberts said Clayton Kershaw asked him to go back out for the seventh inning after he completed the sixth at 69 pitches. Told him then he wanted to finish at around 80, 85 pitches (he'd been built up to 75). "(He's) earned the right to have a conversation," Roberts said.— Fabian Ardaya (@FabianArdaya) April 13, 2022
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 14 April 2022 17:01 (three years ago)
I think most of that is already known to anyone who wanted him to stay in--it's basically a risk vs. reward question, and how great a risk you think is involved. Based on the efficiency of his first 80 pitches (I think he went to a 3-ball count four times), I believe the risk is being overstated by take-him-out advocates.
I think the best point in that piece is made by David Cone (later on, not excerpted above):
"The problem for managers is that you have to make the decision after the seventh inning, because if you allow him to go out and pitch the eighth inning, then you can’t stop it. If he’s perfect after eight, he’s only three outs away and he might be over a hundred pitches, then you have a real quandary."
― clemenza, Thursday, 14 April 2022 18:26 (three years ago)
but how do you ask a pitcher who has already requested to come out of the game at around 80-85 pitches to stay in and try to complete the game instead? maybe i'm misreading that Ardaya quote (it's kind of ambiguously worded), but isn't that Kershaw telling Roberts that he wanted to finish at 80 or 85 pitches? i'm just imagining Roberts hearing that, knowing his injury history, and then telling him "no, Kershaw. you go out there and keep pitching until you are something less than perfect. because when i look into your eyes right now, that's all i can see. perfection. now get out there!" *baseball slap on butt encouragement*

When Kershaw said he wanted to finish at 80 or 85 pitches, I'm going to take a wild guess that he wasn't factoring in "And that includes the possibility that I'll be working on a perfect game where I haven't had to push myself even once yet."
Here, to me, is a much more reasonable way to look at this (from, who else, Posnanski's column today--"The Johan Santana Game"):
“A lot of people blame the no-hitter on being the end of my career,” Santana would say. “But I don’t look at it that way. Because your career can end in one pitch in the beginning of your career or 10 years later or 20 years later.”
And I think that’s right. The risk is always there. And so is the opportunity. I believe Dave Roberts made the right choice with Kershaw because I believe it’s what Kershaw wants — he’s a team player from K to W, and he wants to protect that elbow and pitch all season and make another run at the World Series. Pulling him after seven innings might give him a better chance of doing that. I think we can respect that choice.
I believe Johan Santana wanted something else. He wanted history, and he was willing to risk the rest to make it happen. There’s certainly nothing wrong with that choice either.
― clemenza, Thursday, 14 April 2022 18:55 (three years ago)
Lost my connection there...
So he's supporting Roberts, and taking it, on faith, that what Kershaw is saying publicly is what he actually wanted. But he's also aware of the hidden cost--what was lost--and saying that going the other route is perfectly acceptable.
(Two guys on the radio this morning thought that Kershaw was put into an impossible spot simply by being consulted. If he says "Yeah, I'd like to stay in," he'll get grief for pursuing selfish goals. I don't agree with that on balance--I'd rather he be in on the decision--but I don't think their conclusion is wrong either.)
Last thing I really want to say on this: once again, I totally understand taking him out. What I hate, though, is someone dispassionately making all the obvious arguments as to why you take him out without ever acknowledging the other side, the historic opportunity that was lost (and just saying something like "perfect games are cool, of course" doesn't really get at that).
― clemenza, Thursday, 14 April 2022 19:16 (three years ago)
I did send in a "Hey Bill" (one of three Kershaw-related questions he posted today):
Bill -- Would you have pulled Kershaw today? Or is that a pointless question unless you have as much first-hand information about the situation as Dave Roberts? I'm pretty sure you once wrote--maybe more than once--that pitch-count in the abstract is meaningless, the important thing is how many pitches are thrown after a pitcher is tired. Seeing as Kershaw was seemingly sailing through the game, and had a six-run lead, my instinct is that he hadn't reached that point yet...but I know it's early in a season that had a late start to spring training.Asked by: Phil Dellio
Answered: 4/15/2022No, I didn't write that, although I remember that somebody did...I read it somewhere. I don't know the right or wrong of it. The chance that he would have finished the Perfect Game is about 10%. Is a 10% chance of a perfect game a big enough thing to risk an injury that might devastate his season? It isn't JUST the pitch count; you're talking about an older pitcher, and a very early-season game after a shortened spring training. Not saying that he SHOULD have come out; I would just urge you to present the problem fully, rather than with a slant.
I indicated above that I thought there'd be a good chance he'd agree with the decision--he comes pretty close to doing that.
A couple of minor things...I might not have presented the problem fully fully, but of the three points he makes--older pitcher, early, short spring training--I did acknowledge two of them. And I'm positive he once wrote that about pitch count. He does that now and again with reader e-mail, say he either doesn't remember writing something somebody quotes--understandable--or say it's something he never wrote. Trying to dig up something is virtually impossible: the Historical Abstracts are indexed, but the yearly Abstracts, and the yearly Baseball Books, aren't.

I figured Steve Busby would be excellent Immaculate Grid Fodder. No--eight seasons, all with K.C. (And, if you could check the pitch count on those two no-hitters, quite possibly a good example of why that's not a good idea.)
Busby subsequently became the first baseball player to undergo rotator cuff surgery. In an effort to help his arm recover from the surgery, his doctor recommended that Busby be placed on a pitch count. He is often believed to be the first baseball player to be placed on a pitch count, something that Busby has stated is a myth. Before his injury, he is alleged to have thrown close to 200 pitches in a game, which Busby also says is untrue.

― Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 6 April 2024 21:27 (one year ago)
well, he gave up a double. but if you're only gonna strike out one through six, you have to be incredibly lucky
― mookieproof, Saturday, 6 April 2024 21:48 (one year ago)
I guess he finally... faltered

Roberts calls it as 14Ks, 1H, 0BBs, 7ip at 88 pitches. Woulda been cool to be irresponsible and let him go out and try break his strikeout record, but responsibility wins out

Corbin Burnes hasn't flirted with a no-hitter but he has certainly given the Orioles exactly what they hoped to get from him.

Poor guy--they left him in there for 11 hits, a walk, and nine runs?! I know it's helpful for your starter to get out of the first inning, but hasn't anybody on the Astros seen On the Waterfront? "This ain't your night, kid..."

Not a no-hitter or a near one, but props to Albert Suarez, who has not pitched in the majors in more than six years and gave the Orioles 5 2/3 shutout innings today, 3 hits, no walks, 4 strikeouts.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 17 April 2024 22:21 (one year ago)
xp ty! some research suggests that's good spin but not the toppity top. asked cuz his spin seemed noticeably faster on slo mo than other pitchers i've seen, but maybe that's an effect of how fast/slow the slo-mo is.
fingers crossed he doesn't end up in the pulled pork thread. he was clocking 100.

Headed home to watch the last two innings (forgetting it was on Apple TV) but, five outs away, bloop single by Jansen and a HR from Groucho Marx. I would much rather have seen the perfect game, but I'll go back to hating the Rays and hoping the Jays come back.

He’s on 99 pitches with two innings left and season high is 107. I think he could do it.

Skenes made quasi-history anyway:
In National League/American League history, Skenes and Nolan Ryan are the only two pitchers to have multiple starts of 6 or more innings with 11 or more strikeouts and zero hits in the same season. Ryan did it in 1973 and, it should be noted, he completed the no-hitter in both of those efforts.

Seven innings, 12 K...but he's walked three and hit a guy, so he's up to 97 pitches. Looks like they're sending someone out for the 8th. Asterisk: he's facing a lineup today that has Kevin Pilar hitting third.
Four hits in 21 innings, or over three consecutive starts of 7+ innings, that must be a team record at least.

If anyone was going to break it up, glad it was Taylor Ward (thinking about what happened last year). Weirdly enough, Dave Stieb lost a no-hitter on this day in 1985 when Rudy Law hit a HR to lead off the 9th (nothing on YouTube):
https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHA/CHA198508240.shtml
He'd get much, much closer than that before finally pitching one in 1990--still the only one in Jays history.
