Depends on what you mean by "better"

 

You really could make a case for either.

 

21 men put the ball in play against Buehrle yesterday. 7 did against Kerry.

 

8 no?

[Flames24Rulz]

I think it's a pretty stupid comparison because both feats are remarkable.

that would have been a great who you crappin nominee there.

 

why? I happen to think it was better. 20k games have been done 4 times by 3 pitchers, perfect games 18 times. Also the only hit in Woods game was a slow hit grounder just out of the reach of the SS. That bit of bad luck (where the ball was hit) was the only thing separating his game from a no hitter (or perfect game. I can't remember if he walked anyone)

 

Yea where Wood got screwed by bad luck, Buehrle got helped by good luck on Wise's catch. Only 7 balls were put in play against Wood that day....7!

More impressive achievement is how they were discussing. But I can't think of a definition that would make me think Kerry pitched a better game that day than Buehrle did yesterday

 

I think a 20K no-hitter (yes, to me it was a no-hitter) is more dominant than a perfect game. A perfect game has happened 18 times in MLB history, a 20K game only 3 or 4 times.

That's as strong as a counter argument you can make and I guess it's up to each individual person about that. I'm still going to go with the perfect game, but can certainly understand the arguments against.

No walks, and it is pretty clear to me that Kerry's performance was far more dominant. It took a ridiculous play just to save the shutout yesterday, whereas hardly anyone could even put the ball in play vs Kerry. Having said that, pitching a no hitter and a perfect game in your career is damn impressive. Props to Mark, but I still think Kerry's game was better.

It was definitely eight, but looking on B-R, one of the outs was a sacrifice bunt so Len must not be counting that.
