The swamp channel showing the 9th inning right now. Perfect game on the line they say.

It's almost criminal the lack of run support he gets.
Lol felix calls it "one of his best games"
Dude. U were perfect!
Nobody has ever pitched a perfect game as far as I know.
Of course, I consider a perfect game to be 81 (or 90, or 99, etc.) consecutive strikes. None of this relying on your defense bullshit. That will almost certainly never happen, though.
I would also consider giving the perfect game moniker to a game like the above mentioned, but allowing hits where the pitcher is solely responsible for the out - a line/fly out to the pitcher, or a ground out where the pitcher is the only one who touches the ball. Basically, the only guys who get to touch the ball are the pitcher and catcher, and the catcher is only there to throw the ball back to the pitcher after each pitch.
you have been watching too much Bugs Bunny.
also:
Average Fastball Velocity by Inning for Felix Hernandez yesterday:
Innings 1-3 92.2
Innings 4-6 93.5
Innings 7-9 94.3
that's just silly.
I disagree. If you have a perfect game where you throw 180 pitches and your shortstop creates his own Top 10 plays because he's having to dive all over to save balls from getting to the outfield, isn't that worse than a perfect game where you throw 100 pitches and your defense barely has to work? And by definition, doesn't that make the first game less than perfect, since it could have been better?
So yeah, 81 straight strikes. None of them foul balls. The batters don't even touch it. That's a perfect game to me. And nobody will ever do it.
