I don't think any manager is gonna pull a guy working a perfect game and anyway a perfect game doesn't usually take a lot of pitches because of the whole not letting a guy on base thing. Most of the perfect games have only taken between about 100 and 115 pitches. Also maybe you get lucky and you get a hyper efficient David Cone perfecto where he only had to throw 88 pitches to get it done, with 10 strikeouts no less.

Also Don Larsen actually threw a perfect game in the 1956 World series in only 97 pitches. That was game five though so there was no need to preserve him.

Yeah but gently caress the Rangers, who have some how managed to put together a worse rotation than the Angels

People don't hate the Yankees enough, anymore. Honestly, I am far too friendly with far too many Red Sox fans.

Is there any way to see which players are most successful in 0-2 counts?

bbref's play index ought to do it, though I think some of its functionality is restricted to subscribers (I don't subscribe so I don't know for sure). Here's a list of all hitters with >=50 PAs in an 0-2 count last year ranked by OPS.

Perfect I love you

who'd the Bucs get? McCutcheon? Cause i remember seeing his debut season when i was living in WV and it was dirt cheap to see games (we got tickets behind home plate for like $30), and he was phenomenal from the start.

What kind of process goes into relocating an MLB team?

Put more directly: Will my dream of the Cleveland Indians being moved to Montreal ever bear fruit?


eh, everything ive heard is that its another 20-30 years before they try Montreal Baseball again. Also, probably not the Indians, considering they are coming up on their 100th anniversary next year and the Dolans have a poo poo ton of money.

Occasionally I read about something like "the Rockies have purchased the Montgomery Biscuits" or something where an org buys an entire minor league team.

Does this mean they get all the players? Or do the current Biscuits all scatter up or down a level in their original org and the Rockies just buy the name, stadium and location?

So, there are two things that could be happening here. Typically, ownership of minor league teams is somewhat autonomous, because the only thing that the MiLB ownership pays for and profits from is the stadium, concessions etc. They have no stake in the actual players, who are paid for by the parent MLB organization.

MiLB teams are "affiliated" with MLB teams, but those affiliations can change over time. Recently, the Dodgers and the Angels swapped affiliations, which is just a location swap, really. The reason for affiliate changes isn't always clear, at least to me, but sometimes its because they want their prospects closer to the MLB team.

Sometimes ownership of an MLB franchise will buy an MiLB franchise as well, as another money making venture

what happens to a guy in Arb that has an injury that causes them to miss a season or seasons? Like Tyler Skaggs for example.
