I've followed about the fifteen minutes of arrieta they cut into the royals game during that no hitter, but what the eff is up with your bats this year mir?  seems like double digit runs every outing so far

20 K is more incredible than a perfect game IMO.

Denied. A 20k game doesn't mean the pitcher got everyone out. A perfect game does. Perfect is perfect.

Its pretty crazy, Hanley has gotten off to a slow start too. Jackie Bradley Jr. has been simply ridiculous

Hadn't considered roids for arrieta, but he certainly got more muscular and hairy.  What do roids do for pitchers?  I would assume fastball velocity but maybe it allows for better recovery between starts allowing for better control too?

I guess I give more players the benefit of the doubt now that there is testing. Unless you play for the Blue Jays obviously

So as my honeymoon approaches, i'm becoming more and more obsessed with the Dominican Republic. We're going to Punta Cana and baseball was my first love. I've been watching a lot of documentaries and it's amazing that this small of an island makes up 20% of the league. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/12/ballplayer-pelotero-documentary_n_1669572.html

One feat has happened 23 times, the other only 5 times. And perfect games usually have a couple of remarkable defensive plays to bail the pitcher out.

Philip rough ridin' Humber threw a perfect game!

it's not a better performance than a perfect game, but it's definitely more incredible

Perfect game is mislabeled. It should be 27 batters and 27k

Depends on your adjective i suppose. A perfect game has been done what 23 times? 20 strikeouts has only been done 5.

With the rash of strikeouts in baseball, i'd like to think this record will be broken sometime.

Current no hitter criteria can be call a "great game" and then update the no hitter and perfect game criteria

Arrieta's career arc is very similar to Jose Bautista's. I have hard time believing that either made the leap from average to MVP/Cy Young candidate on their own overnight.

Only because baseball has a stupid scoring/stat system. You can throw a no-hitter but give up 100 points. It's lunacy.
