It's not like E-Jax's walkathon no-hitter, they all came damn close. I still call Buerhle’s no-hitter a perfect game. 27 up, 27 down. That’s a perfect game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a lot of movement, but his control on it wasn't good. His changeup was his money pitch along with really good fastball location. he's a new man sitting at 93-95 instead of 90-91.

MiddleCoastBias Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 All credit to Collins as well. Remember in camp how everyone assumed the job was given to Lucroy, and then we were all confused when Lucroy requested his release? Clearly Collins has been busting his ass to improve his work behind the plate and the organization saw it, and it definitely paid off tonight. Got to be a great feeling. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle had a third time he went 27 up 27 down too. Two singles, two double plays against Cleveland in 2004 I think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Kudos to Carlos. Thank god they brought him back, it would have been so painful to see him throw like this elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great defense all around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

102605 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Watched a couple episodes of Falcon and Winter Soldier with my son and flipped the game on in the 6th. The camera was zooming in on #56 Mark Buehrle retired number and I immediately knew what was going on without them even saying anything!

Was basically fastball slider only before this year. Toyed with the Cooper cutter for a while but that was bad. Even spun a decent curveball or two The changeup is a big new asset. Stoney and I were both calling for it on the slider that became a HBP. Shoulda, woulda.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 guys Rodon is healthy and good, who would've seen this coming? makes our rotation a lot more formidable with Keuchel looking like ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
