History in Chicago for Mark Buehrle

And it from a correct somebody it was actually sitting there is an eyewitness to history. -- of the game was not made by me it was made by way. Dollar in -- he was so excited and yeah pronunciation right. Was the guy. -- crowd. At almost -- beyond argument. Sounds. I currently does say it. That has got to be the greatest -- Of satan oh hitter slash per game in the history of baseball. Anecdotally we always at all there is one great player in the -- and it's obviously. Great. There's never played -- about the history of baseball humane since 2000. -- have actually is currently. Has pastor actually. Buster only actually went back the other eighteen games -- all the upper games. And it was a shoestring catch. Unbelievable play but a shoestring catch to -- a perfect game. Andy said. In the in the other seventeen per game in the history of baseball that was previously the best place it's the perfect game. -- didn't say it was the best place hitter but he says -- Easily the best place at the game.

What was the first perfect game thrown. In Major League Baseball history do we now. -- the first perfect game -- but I understand I agree with you and and believe me on on a nice. Friday on a rainy Friday. Morning the last thing I want argue about is the history a perfect games in the the greatest defensive plays in perfect game history. Thank you thank you Friday's restoring -- immediate yeah. But for buster only hear anybody else to say the best in history and I'm I'm I'm I'm guessing the first perfect game was win. We know I made a lot.

Computers are not say -- you know. 1930.

I was there. They know. I felt anybody know. Pastors said he went all about box scores seen previous perfect game. With a box score. Beat Roger we're that he didn't know Ron Jaworski. It started early perfect games it was actually a sketch that withdrawing our daughter Daria. First it was an 1880 rapture they had ballot and HD. Eight. But that I don't just yet -- the world but that it'd start make the eighty. Arrived. It was a great. It was it -- the -- with the next what was an ideal for.

And I can afford a World Series you know that. -- Probably -- but. -- off but now -- but but here's the it was a it was a great play and another terrific game from Mark -- would just talk -- my perfect game yesterday. In outlook eat out looking -- no hitters -- low key and and -- currently has thrown two no hitters in his -- one of them a perfect game. So here's my -- today how about this when you do it is it is it fair to say when you do it more than -- not a fluke if you do it wants.

Anybody can well ironically. You know Nolan Ryan is sort of understand seven dollars I mean the man's company and up their hundred miles an hour -- it is -- have. And critical -- that -- force academy is sort of in its case by his own admission -- anybody with anything. What he does better than almost any pitcher in the game is he gets it throws. My stat of the day. The average time. Of the 27 at bats Tampa Bay -- in the game was 54 seconds. 54. Seconds was the average time eighteen of the 27 were less than a minute. I mean he gets at the -- gets it and throws it I mean he doesn't mess around he's not. In -- off the back of the robbery and looking for the resin bag communal storm and around he just give the ball. Put down the fingers here it comes -- there's something really set for face you know keep it going keep it. I mean I'm actually surprised that there wasn't more step and out in council voted down -- whoa whoa -- heat it's calm down here.

Athlete does he has a quick race he always has I'd give us some hits. But he he knows how to pitch you know -- going out there and again in his. First no hitter. If if I'm not mistaken he didn't throw.

hit ninety. -- our power it's pretty girl now 28 pitchers in the history of baseball have thrown more than one -- 28 pitchers have multiple blow hitters in their. And and I don't know I guess we went back the list of 28. You were confined to scrub and Ian -- delicate. Maybe --

But probably not many probably wandered to it's it's less -- Q when you do -- the second time first time. And everybody uses the example of a Lynn barker. For the perfect game -- remember that. On the that was an 81. That's a -- in mainland barker. Probably. I mean who knows that he was thinking about -- they -- about. The mosquitoes last flash and -- Cleveland Stadium when their house for -- no I never have no receipt no no I you know it's never a no hitter. Never perfect game I have always done that that dumb things that all sports writers do. When somebody in your town. Throws a no hitter. -- today it's acting game to see right guys gonna happen again and active back right I did after Nomo no motorist -- of the Red Sox. Remember -- and the game at a game in 1990. At Cleveland Stadium after Nolan Ryan had thrown a no hitter. Of course that didn't happen again and so. Always obviously part.

I've never seen one alive scene among TV but it never -- in the ballpark for one. I would love just the satin and and you know I obviously the game was in Chicago zero or the other would you -- no Internet no matter your root against your team absolutely. If if I was sit at Fenway Park Fenway Park. And mark early in the ninth inning of a perfect game I'm -- for Mark -- defection.

I wouldn't additives you know if it's if I'm neutral. If it's it's -- like Dana White Sox today cares -- Gulfport are remember watching live but not there. I remember watching Jack Morse is no matter it was early. As a member of and he kept rubbing its hands and it was a brutal day epic against. Is -- Chicago. About watching that I was rooting for for Jack -- tigers beat the no hitter but it ascertain. Now. I don't want as the history -- bad.

I would wanna see history. Now obviously for talk about a game that eliminates your team. You know if it's game seven of an ALCS and all I'm not root for Nate perfect game no matter if we're talking about a game in July. At Fenway Park and birdies blown out for the ninth inning. And he's got a perfect game on I wanna see him finish.

Up out of the game in September Fenway park at the Yankees and Red Sox Mike Mussina on the map out probably -- and it happened I know -- that would be much -- that your own role. We're going down because you're never broken out there and -- And people. It each year. When yankees throw a no hitter on you. That you don't want Carl Everett breaking up as a -- It was a very difficult moment that is popular -- of course Carl Everett first base Ingraham. After broken into normally I put it up would celebrate its that's --

And it doesn't Ben Gordon was what Matt David said. Well I get to the well one guy. And I hit a shot at it that felt that I'm gonna do that. He was blocked -- that wherever he grew up in the mid South Carolina on Kevin Garnett was blocked him that when I'm on the sideline and go to globally. I have no impact on the game I'm gonna do that.

And access real big -- in the NBA and for whatever reason I. It's a great question you Alaskan and I I would not say that in every instance I would be rooting deceit as streak as he brought a case where I wouldn't be rooting for. But you're talking about it July game against the Chicago White Sox are some team other than the Yankees. And I'd be I'd probably be for about game cap where not exactly the footnote in history one -- you can post a break in and out. As he -- I doubt it was gone and left Donald meant what a way to lose this. And you know -- it's it's a little. It's.

Old deceiving tube because summit at Milliken a perfect game is not deceive me if you got going as a pitcher. Clearly this is your day in and no matter what kind of line up your -- they're not gonna touch it. But there's Tampa Bay Rays being no hit. Discount a blip. -- is a little blip in the run they've been on lately and they have really. Gotten themselves straightened out and it's the race. That that many people predicted at the beginning of the season now to three team right.

The American and the irony of it he has you can make an argument that other than Don Larson's perfect game. That's the best team ever have perfect game against it their third in the American League in runs scored. You know -- if you if you look at at. -- their playing and what their like him. And under the defending American League champions. That's a really good lineup you know if if David Wells -- certain. And throws a perfect game against the -- no -- was Montreal. Can't remember who wells was against but it was it was like the twins or somebody like that. You know you say okay you sort of understanding you you throw perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays the way they're playing and as good as they are pretty darn good.

Yeah they look pretty good. And you talk about in the lineup as you imagine that lineup at the rumors are true can you imagine that lineup. Against. I -- with some like Victor Martinez. Yeah I mean they they have they have good pitching already. And if there's any weakness. Of the -- last year and I know we don't think it's because we saw them it is just match against the Red Sox in the playoffs but a duplicate that teen. Last year and a regular season they didn't have a 300 -- Even last you know Evan Longoria as talented as he has in his rookie year -- to 72. So. They've improved their lineup this year. And they ask -- like victim Martina they're right in there with the Red Sox yankees air right that conversation.

Well and and there're there are a bunch of things that they seem to be the stealth Purdue participants for four. I mean supposedly lately there's some talk about Tampa Bay getting -- late as you said the Victor Martinez thing. You know they they are race small market team. With remarkably -- attendance for defending American League champion who seems Wellington want to make big splash to to have make up. Up by passion defense of their American league championship I I like the way they're doing business if they're in the running for this stuff as we set.

Thank you Michael Berger who has just brought in a list of all the perfect games thrown in. I wonder bluster -- buster talk about that perfect game October 2 1908. Addie -- through it. Yeah one zip.

Indians reliever and Indians at that point where -- a --

I'm just happy -- over White Sox in the first two perfect games thrown in the nationally with from Worcester and Providence. A with their big labor wants that that Providence shut down buffalo. Vibes that. -- man you're over that date June 17 1880. Clearly mis department didn't I'd never created -- the -- in my memory banks.

LA it is so much fun as you said when Europe wearing your neutral observer and in a way we're not neutral to its take Tampa Bay lost that the matter. But when you are neutral observer like we were able to be yesterday. It's so much -- see it and sense the drama and I would give anything to be in the park to feel. And it's just it's never worked out I've been close a couple of times but you know. Never had one happen and when I was sit there and I just think could be so cool to see.

But you really think about this -- Maybe we need to have a separate category four. Guys who throw no hitters and guys who throw -- games and I don't we already do we end of the distinction there are talking about the flu nature of does -- gonna somebody's name -- not familiar with -- Richmond or Monte ward. The former Providence and and Worcester -- but Jim -- and Hall of -- cynical -- and as an Hall of Fame. Tom Brown is on the Hall of Fame but it was a very good pitcher for the reds Dennis Martinez -- a pitcher for the Expos and Indians. Randy Johnson will be in the Hall of Fame one day Cy Young Addie Joss hall of famers. Donna Larson catfish Connor. Kenny Rogers get pitcher Dave welcome pitcher David -- barb Burley.

But about the very good I mean only bury it's I think the only guys on here only guys on here they can't stand out. He's -- Olympics going on. Len barker it Lynn barker may be Mike -- When barker might quit other than that it's round Martinez might be in that category what what they. Look at pictures pictures right not about the only guys who don't belong only got lots and it's part so good right now -- pitchers they're not they're certainly not of the caliber. You know Randy Johnson -- call backs. You know Jim Bunning Cy Young but but catfish harder now now. I'm not saying -- of that caliber Martinez was. A very very solid. Major League pitcher for a long time. Very -- pitcher. Not not going to the Hall of Fame but. It's a fair share of games in along Major League career is not -- it is not the Lynn barker category that's for sure. Advocate to throw perfect game. From the list that we see here. If you throw line. You've got to have some real ability. A no -- not so much.

Well and if it and if we if we did this exact list with no hitters we look at -- meets all the help it Heathrow. And you think get a I don't but you don't say that on the perfect aimless and no I'm not well. -- said Len barker is one where ego you know maybe there was supple -- Cuba and -- perfect game. He he was he could be great and he was great that day. But but there's nothing in his career record eagle while I understand that Ryan who never Cooper again. If the hat you'd understand. Actually wind is controlled.

seconds yeah he's acting thought was is it you may know -- your typical Nolan started. It only got it going vintage Nolan is probably eleven or twelve strikeouts -- five or six blocks. I'm surprised a lot today as we're talking just click in -- Dennis Martinez. Never won more than sixteen games in a season. -- surprises and career victories 20245. To 45 in 23 seasons. To prepare to.

Right but I'm saying averaged -- eleven wins this season something like data over a long it's long very long a career never won more than sixteen -- a year. Which as I said surprises me I just assumed there were some twenty win seasons in there and work for him. I would I would give anything to see one and edit in a few minutes in the leadoff spot we'll talk to a guy. Who don't believe ever threw a no hitter we were we were looking at an earlier today -- enabled C one. But another guy who had a long and storied. Career how about sixteen. Gold gloves.

Is -- talk about that on the broadcast. I was guessing. When they had the list you know what how many how many pitchers and how many players. Have won the most consecutive gold gloves. As what one part of the answer was Brooks Robinson the other part was and got a thought it was going to be Greg Maddux.

Jim -- is the was arguably the greatest fielding. Pitcher in the history of the game. Op he'd be counted joined that stable of -- and filling guys last week when he worked the the series in Toronto over the weekend we thought did a great job we had -- up. On the program in the past. He has joined us and talked baseball before he can talk about pitching he can talk about the American Easton. And you know trading deadline and all that stuff to Jim Koppel join us -- leadoff spot and a few minutes I can't -- talk to right -- I'd love listening to talk baseball.

Going to be interesting to hear and talk about baseball and talk baseball is operative phrase because. The way it looks right now. We're going to be talking baseball tonight rather than watching.

This exposed to finish up like so. I mean I've looked at the forecast for the day and and I know it doesn't feel like about the right now but supposedly to stuffs on its way out. But it's a good chance the play that it's. I think there's idea there's I think more phone calls for a us I think there's a good chance they're gonna play. If and I've looked like three different forecast for tonight it appears that the stuff is finally. Now -- it was last night. And it was raining like crazy up there last night but I think it's it's -- now I think the folks going to be able to watch baseball will see the first. The first at bat at Fenway Park as a red sock for atom a -- I don't know you know and I heard. They were talking about this yesterday one when it was into the big shell. And and Schilling in and -- on the -- were talking about it. Sure there's a lot of wood bats for him here you know they will certainly rest Michael old more than they did in the first half no doubt about that. Sure the Roche is gonna get more than two -- You know if you look at it realistically. Is not about the best you you can I'm the opposite Youkilis and more than you have to he's not gonna replace Ortiz as the DH very much. They don't pinch -- much. You know if you arrest if you arrest -- twice a week I think that'd be locked. I just don't you think got to be a lot -- Michael yeah I mean I I picture -- apple getting arrested you know one game a week or so called up.

But I have to figure out what they want now if you think. Resting him twice a week is a lot. I got to criticism. For for. Tito. Before it was -- he rested Michael he wrote Mike -- too much I'd say my role might become a part time player in the second.

I don't believe that really probably needs to -- I don't think I don't think he needs to I don't think he will get ready for a post season and I understand if if you think you're that good if you think. You can turn this thing around and this is just they -- hitting slump. And you very confident against the Yankees obviously -- know against them. Make sure you get to team healthy and get ready for -- not that necessarily -- season but a final charge. For the -- out on a team it's having offensive issues I do think -- temporary but -- offensive issues. -- is not a better -- Michael. You don't you don't improve your offense by sitting bolt on putting -- in the line. I agree with you that they have to restful more I know they will. I I don't see I don't see it hit then you know 23 times a week that's sort of thing and it can be rare that up. I don't think Adam Rose has better Michael leader. But it might walls -- and physical problems something under -- having physical problems absolutely no he has. He says he's -- prick. Like he can't run I know I mean there's no doubt watch him watch him he can't do. We kind of joked that he's the only guy innings since he came off the DLE the only guy getting on this wonderful rest helps them at all but it was one of those situations. Where you know you're gonna -- there's going to be some stiffness in and have to work your way through it or. Resting. For a a couple of days. Will actually help I don't I don't know the answer. Column -- Bradford -- knows everything Michael.
