i'm with morbs on this one actually... never understood why walks allowed are more notable than base hits allowed.

teams perpetrate no-hitters, not pitchers, w/ great catches etc.

yeah, like, ubaldo's no hitter felt kinda cheap, what with 6 walks and all

Also, they're an excuse to leave your pitcher in the game too long for no reason.

First MLB start of the season for our best/second best pitching prospect: 7IP, 1H, 3BB, 0R. We badly needed that after all our recent injuries.

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!
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Sunday, 9 May 2010 22:29 (fourteen years ago) link
by "toughest" I mean "degree of difficulty"
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Sunday, 9 May 2010 22:30 (fourteen years ago) link
also, being dallas braden and all
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 9 May 2010 22:33 (fourteen years ago) link
he didn't have a full count after the 4th inning
that was a 3-1 pitch that kapler broke his bat on
― mookieproof, Sunday, 9 May 2010 22:44 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― earlnash, Sunday, 9 May 2010 23:11 (fourteen years ago) link
Not sure what's more bizarre: Braden today or Juan Uribe drawing four walks.
― Andy K, Sunday, 9 May 2010 23:27 (fourteen years ago) link
haha what the fuck
i benched the dude in ilx fantasy today cause i was expecting the rays to murder him

So his mom died when he was in high school, and his grandmother raised him in Stockton.
And so he throws a perfect game at home in front of his grandmother and a lot of Stockton people on Mother's Day.
Bet Tim's got some Kirk-gems lined up.

hilar perfect game--braden was never above 90 and got 4 swinging strikes. but that's how they do in the 209
