Since it has been dead time and all of the theoretical posts seem to be dwindling down(hopefully), I thought it would be a good time to ask what you each feel was the best pitching performance over the course of the season. There were some pitching moments last year that will stand out in my mind forever, but for some reason the one that absolutely sticks out was June 29th.
Brandon McCarthy started the game, and left with a 3-2 lead in the 7th. The game ended up being tied by a Chris Shelton triple and a sac fly off of Neal Cotts, and the next inning Cotts got into trouble and loaded the bases. Cliff Politte came in the game, and struck out Ivan Rodriguez, and induced Craig Monroe to hit into a 6-3 double play. I remember watching the game with a sick feeling in my stomach, and Politte just came in and started pumping gas all over the strikezone.
Please share your favorite performance of a pitcher over the course of 2005, and I was thinking of having a "Favorite Pitching Moment of 2005" poll after a few days. Try and include the opponent and date if you can. If not, no biggie.
I would have to say the night Mark Buehrle pitched against the Seattle Mariners I think he shut them out and only gave up three hits all of them to Ichiro , if not for Ichiro Mark has a no-hitter.
