Philip Humber....Shhhhhhh....

[Hammer]

congrats to Humber but Ryan didnt go around.

Is that the 21st perfecto in MLB history? I like the quirky stat that more men have flown to the moon (24) than have pitched a perfect game. Well, one more closer today.

Ryan could've beaten it out had he not stopped. It did look a bit dubious, but it wasn't terribly egregious.

This. But when looking at the replay I thought he went but barely.

Yeah-- 20 during the regular season, 1 in the post-season. 22 if you count Armando Galarraga!

Well at least the Twins got something out of the Santana deal...oh wait..

Well, at least a Met finally threw a no-hitter.....oh wait......

I think this is the first perfect game I've had by someone actually in my line up!

I know it is hard to be objective when a guy has just thrown a perfect game, but from what I've seen of Humber this year, I don't think this is some fluke perfecto from a guy who will have a mediocre year. I think Humber may be turning a corner. Not turning into an ace, but into a legit reliable #2/#3 type starter this year.

Ditto!

I have Humber, Kershaw and Feliz all going today. Their combined line so far is 16 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 15 Ks.

Who has 2 thumbs & tabbed Humber as the best $1 pitcher for drafts? This guy

Had to drop him because of Santiago and Steve picked him up. Bastage lol. He was someone I thought would break out this year.

And I thank you so very much for that move... It's interesting, I watched the O's broadcast of their game with the WS earlier this week, and Jim Palmer could stop raving about what a PITCHER Humber was. How he had an idea of how to set a hitter up, what he wanted to throw 3 pitches from now, and how he worked all corners of the plate. Congrats to the Sox, and boo to the Twins for a total lack of patience...

I was really surprised he wasn't drafted and was so happy to land him in the reserve round.

MJ - good call.

Very nice call on Humber. The call for Pujols as overall MVP hitter looks iffy though at this point.

The prediction I read said the league caught up with him in the second half last year and he is an average arm, so I avoided him. Argh. I owned him last year and moved him in a dump deal.

Humber's Perfecto Musings

- Since 2009, there have been four perfectos thrown. During the 75-year period of 1880-1955, or from 1961-1980, there were only three.
- if you include Armando Galarraga's "perfecto" and Jonathan Sanchez's no-hit, no-walk effort in '09, there were six in this four year period
- the NY Mets have never had a no-no in their 50-year history, but 8 former Mets have tossed 15 no-hitters between them
- one can argue that Humber may have been the least likely of the White Sox rotation to throw a no-no

[Moonlight J]

Humber had a no-no for awhile last year as well. He's rather pitch efficient and a matchup against a pathetic Seattle lineup is just what the doctor ordered
