I turned this on in the 9th because it's win win for me - either I get to see a perfect game, or I get to see a Yankee blow a perfect game. Instead I get to watch the Yankees pour it on against the AAAA A's. Yuck.
Pssssssssst 2023

I don't hate the Yankees much lately, but of any pitcher currently on their roster to do it, German is pretty much a worst-tier outcome.
At least the A's didn't PH, I like it when it's a "natural" 0-3 from all of the starting 9.

Nah Braden was better. Threw another shutout that year and 4 other CG’s that year and an ERA of 3.50 that year
I do see some Yankee fans upset it's German, too. This is going to be an interesting story how it gets covered by the media.
It looks like via Baseball savant, only two balls in play were close at all to a hit - a little bloop and a 106mph grounder but 0 degree launch angle.

During the 6 run inning earlier in the game, they said German actually went to the bullpen and threw a few pitches, do not remember anyone actually doing that mid-game not involving rain delays.
On the flipside, it is nice that the fans in Oakland got to see this in person before their team and baseball is ripped away from them.
So how many minutes until someone in the media talks about the "adversity" he's overcome.
Braden was pitching well before he blew out his shoulder and was done at age 27.
Also, get the fuck off my mound!

Just can't find a video of Arod doing it, but I remember it was a story for a couple days
Couldn't have happened to a worse human. The best part about this Yankees team is being forced to root for domestic abusers and open racists.
Why baseball gods, why last night and not 2010...

If I were Amando Galarraga, I'd be very happy with how things turned out. Nobody remembers that Humber guy, but every baseball fan knows the story of his almost perfect game.
Something happening in Detroit against the Jays...
Pulled at 6 2/3, after 91 pitches. Still a no hitter though

I guess you don’t want to overextend your young Ace, but would liked to see if he can go 120 and finish it
Yup. Glad they still got it though. Strange strategy as Detroit probably isn't going anywhere this year. They're heading into the ASB, so why not stretch him out a little further?
He missed a lot of last year with shoulder issues and just came off the 60 day IL about 2 weeks ago. There is no universe where leaving him out there to throw "120 pitches" would have been the responsible thing to do.
The Tigers have had an entire promising young rotation derailed by injuries over the past couple of years – Manning, Mize, Skubal, Turnbull (who isn't so young anymore). They certainly know better than to try to squeeze an extra out or two out of a guy who stands no chance of completing it anyway. I didn't see it, but Hinch said Manning was becoming noticeably fatigued and throwing more balls than strikes in the 7th anyway.
With it being just a 2-0 game, surely Cleveland will pinch-hit in the 9th. If not, Arias-Straw-Gallagher might be the easiest 9th inning anyone has ever faced to complete a no-hitter. The Guards really didn't field a major league lineup tonight with Josh Naylor hurting, Bo Naylor on the bench and Andres Gimenez only coming in mid-game.
