perfect game alert

[arniesarmy]

Max Scherzer of Washington vs. Pittsburgh....thru eight innings. Tremendous defensive play to end the eighth and preserve perfection. Scherzer came close to a perfect game last Sunday against Milwaukee.

 

[Shub]

Wow

 

[Shub]

He leaned in to that

 

[Shub]

No hitter

 

[arniesarmy]

He's given up a bloop single, a walk and a HBP in 18 innings in his last two starts. Could have easily had two perfect games back to back.

Tabata is getting plunked tomorrow haha.

 

[bilbal]

He leaned in to that

that was a chickensh!t move by Tabata. He's gonna get beaned tomorrow if he bats.

 

[HarryCaray]

Wow, insane

 

[Murphy8276]

His elbow sat there if anything, and made no effort to avoid being hit. I don't doubt Scherzer will have a shot again one day.

Mad Max with another shot for a perfect game next week....

Phillies up next...

That was a chicken shit move. I wouldn't mind so much if he had exposed his elbow to a 95+ mph fastball but he used the armor to seek contact. I didn't like when Bonds used the body armor to crowd the plate and I don't like guys using it now. Someone needs to throw up and in so he can hear the sweet chin music as it whizzes by his face. Not calling for him to get pegged, but someone needs to send a message.

The old schoolers would be turning in their graves with use of this body armor by some of these modern day players.

Yes, Tabita didn't move his arm. And that is weak sauce.

However, Mad Max shook off the catcher 3 times on that pitch. He shouldn't have been trying to throw a breaking ball on his 101st pitch in 80% humidity.

wrong, he dropped his elbow into it.

 

[ZJP6050]

bush…coming from a pirate fan.

still don't like seeing my team produce 0 offense.

 

[bilbal]

wrong, he dropped his elbow into it.

and his well protected elbow at that. Tabata is playing RF today, should be interesting to see how fast he can avoid a 95 mph fastball heading straight for him. Bet he won't be leaning into that like he did yesterday.
