>>NO HITTER!!!! One stinking walk away from a perfect game!

>Truly awesome. The walk was the only baserunner and the only thing that prevented his second perfect game of the season. You know this but for the benefit of non-baseball fans, this was only the second no hitter in baseball postseason history.

In fact, the first no-hitter in a non world series postseason game ;)

It was a masterful game. He was ahead of just about every batter after 2 pitches. He threw first pitch strikes to something like 25 of the 28 batters he faced. 104 pitches of which I think they said 79 were strikes for a 76% mark. Incredible. Talk about hot!

I also just heard today that his whip for the past decade (2001-2010) was something like 1.1 or close to it. That's for a whole decade!
