Who are the three .300 hitters in tampa bay devil ray history?
81 strikes, 27ks27 Ks easily...How freaking cool would that be?
Why is a first basemans glove different?
as far as statistics go, the 81 strikes and 27 punchouts look better on your resume than no ko's and just a no-hitter but if you strike everybody out that you face... man, that's impressive... it'll garner more attention b/c simply put, you got those guys out and they didn't get themselves out by mistake!Definitely 81 strikes, 27K's. This option means the pitcher did everything to earn the perfect game. First pitch outs means the batter may have swung at a bad pitch, and it also relies on the pitcher's team making plays for the outs.
Would be great to see wouldn't it?
81 strikes easily. At least that is possible lol.. I just could never see 27 batters in a row swinging at the 1st pitch and making an out. At least with the 27 k's its something possible. I mean what's the record currently. 22 K's in a game...
I'd go with the all-K's game. It'd be purely pitcher/catcher, and the other seven guys get to stand around and think about their next at-bat.
The tension in the ninth inning would be fantasmagorgasmic.
Why isn't Vern (Junior) Stephens in the Baseball Hall of Fame (or at least up for consideration)?
Since the question is a matter of personal opinion, there is no definitve answer. Major League Baseball (mlb) recognizes a perfect game as one with no hits, walks or errors. Both would qualify as perfect games, although the one with 27 K's would set the new record for strikeouts in a game surpassing 20 by Kerry Woods and Roger Clemens. It would be the first perfect game since Randy Johnson's in the 2003 or 04 season.Nothing is more perfect than 27 outs in a row. A good pitcher does not rely on striking out all his batters. He has 8 other fielders behind him to get outs.
A pitcher can and does "set up" a batter with the location of his pitches to make the hitter do something that the pitcher wants. He can throw a pitch that is recorded a ball and it can be more effective than a strike down the heart of the plate.
No such discussion in my opinion. A perfecto is a perfecto.
My fellow baseball fans. Do you think that schilling's sox contained real blood? or paint?
