June 14, 201214 yr :banana: Ties the record for a perfect game with 14 K's. I was about to go to bed but thankfully twitter notified me. 22nd in MLB history. Same here. Immediately turned on MLB Network. Thought that last throw was going to short hop the 1B. That was fun to watch. I was actually nervous for the guy.

June 14, 201214 yr I thought it was for sure. Blanco made an awesome diving catching in the 7th I believe. Play of the game.
June 14, 201214 yr In the 9th inning, I'm much more nervous for the fielders than I am the pitcher when perfection is on the line. Third baseman made a tough play to seal it.
June 14, 201214 yr Cain now something like 8-2 with a sub 2.20 ERA on the season. Nice to see the perfect game; even nicer to see someone living up to the sweet long-term deal.
June 14, 201214 yr Are they seriously discussing on Mike and Mike right now whether or not Cains perfect game has value because he only had 14 Strike outs?
June 14, 201214 yr Are they seriously discussing on Mike and Mike right now whether or not Cains perfect game has value because he only had 14 Strike outs? I was listening to it. The main arguement was which pitching performance was better, Kerry Wood's one-hitter with 20 K's or Matt Cain's perfect game with 14 K's. They even had Timmy K on there talking about it as well.

They even had Timmy K on there talking about it as well. I think his game score was slightly under Wood's. Did they mention that?
June 14, 201214 yr I think his game score was slightly under Wood's. Did they mention that? They did actually. I know that they said Wood's was 105 and I believe they said Cain's was a 102, maybe 101. Golic was saying that he thought the pitching performance of Wood's was more impressive. While Greenie took the side of Cain. He then made an asanine comment that the strikeouts really didn't matter because it was no different than a ground out. Either way its, one out. Golic came back with a comment that any semi-intelligent person who have and said, "we are talking about a pitchers personal performance, so the strikeouts matter". I caught Tim K at the end, but I believe he said he thought Kerry Wood's game was the most dominating performance he's ever seen.

Flat out dominating. 20 K's, 1 hit, year of high hopes from the Cubs to boot I actually got to see Wood pitch a couple seasons later and he was really solid.

Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic."
June 14, 201214 yr From 9/16/88 when Browning threw his perfect game until 5/18/04 when Randy Johnson threw his perfect game there was 5 perfect games between those years, that's almost a 16 year period with 5 perfect games...Since 7/23/09 when Buehrle threw his perfect game until now there have already been 5 perfect games + 9 no hitters, that's in a little less than 3 year period...Pretty Crazy I just looked it up on espn because I never remember no hitters/perfect games happening so frequently...
