I'll post this in the NPB thread too if it exists, but Roki Sasaki of the Lotte Marines just threw a perfect game against the Orix Buffaloes. He did it on 105 pitches while striking out 19, striking out 13 in a row at one point. Just a wild perfomance.

This dude is absolutely amazing. i'm going to call him the octopus based on the zany way his limbs move as he pitches

it seems like there are a lot of serious blue chip players on both sides of the ball coming out of japan right now which i think is very exciting

lol, the previous record for consecutive strike outs in japan was 9. just absolutely destroyed it.

No active NPB thread from what I can tell, so it'll probably interest some of you in here to know that Roki Sasaki is currently following up his perfect game from earlier this week by going perfect with 9 K's through six innings, on about 75 pitches, against the Nippon Ham Fighters. He's hitting 100 MPH with his fastball in this game too.

Unless, for some reason, you already pay for the Pacific League TV streaming package, you'll have to search around for unofficial streaming links that I can't post here if you're interested in watching some late-night baseball.

EDIT: Perfect through 7 innings now - 11 strikeouts.

EDIT 2: Now perfect through 8 - 14 strikeouts on 105 pitches. One problem: it's a 0-0 game and the opposing starter has only allowed 4 hits himself.

Sasaki ends up pulled after 8 perfect innings with the game tied 0-0. Wow.


Chiba ended up giving up 1 hit collectively over 10 innings... and lost 1-0

The Mariners have the #1 offense by wRC+ and are the first in the AL West to 10 wins. Looks like we're going to the playoffs this time for sure.

yeah, this feels different than a usual hot start that devolves into an ice-cold may/june. i'm incrementing the m's threat level from green (enjoy it while it lasts) to yellow (cautious optimism)

I feel like this understates "no hitter into the eighth; four walks and two wild pitches in the ninth". Also Ty France blood sacrifice.

I mean I don't think the Upton hbp played into Swanson pitching inside to Trout, but I suspect that it did play a role in why the M's bench reacted with that level of anger. Particularly with Ty going down the way he did and Kyle Lewis still out with a concussion and so on. Mariners are pretty deep into the reserves now; I think Cal was the only guy left on the bench after the ejections and it sounds like Kelenic might be back up to fill a hole, which I don't think is great.

Final: Los Angeles Angels 2 - 1 Tacoma Rainiers

I keep wanting to get back to watching Mariners games since they're doing so well, but then getting worried I'll watch the game that breaks the streak and feel like I jinxed it and thinking "well I'll just wait until they lose a game" but they just keep winning!

this magical thinking is adorable and 100% relatable to me. us mariners fans are like a combination of a toddler with no concept of object permanence and a battered spouse.
