Blasted for ten runs his last start, German has perfectoed the hapless Oakland A's in Oakland.

I forgot to put the word Yankees in the title. A little excited over here.

How long before he gets traded?

I am shaking. Havent been this stressed watching a game in a while. Thank god that final inning was quick.

It's crazy how baseball can be rewarding at times. I wanted to play final fantasy 16 but saw him throwing a perfect game in the 4th and figured what the hell. lets just watch this game tonight. fucking west coast time too. i have seen so much trash from the yankees this year i shouldnt even be watching them everyday, but sometimes the baseball gods smile upon you.

The fourth inning is where I took notice, too. Especially when he got to 5, then 6 I said I can't go to sleep if he's got 9 outs left.

Especially impressive with the new rules too

I am very proud for my kindred.

I look forward to the eventual admission that he was high on PCP during the game and does not remember it. First perfect game in quite some time. Especially impressive with the new clock.

Oh, wait...is this an American sport?

I'm waiting for shohei ohtani to pitch a perfect game where he hits a solo home run and wins 1-0. Shohei can set the record for true wins.

Shouldn't a pitcher's perfect game really be 27 pitches, 27 outs?

Brendan Fraser struck out 27 batters in a row in the worst sports movie I've ever seen.

No.

An immaculate game would consist of 27 3-pitch strikeouts. 27 pitches implies that the defense and opposing batter had a say in the game. No pitcher has come remotely close to an immaculate game. Only 114 immaculate innings have been pitched in MLB history. None have been pitched in the same game. A minor league pitcher for the Pirates pitched a 27 strike-out no-hitter which is as close as we have seen.
