    Kapler rolled over on a 3-1 pitch, probably could have worked a walk but wanted braden to have the perfect game.

    His K/BB ratio this season is 3.14 and his WHIP is 1.14. He's actually having a really consistently good season. He's not a powerhouse pitcher or one of the best in the league by far, but he's a decent 2 or 3 starter on any ballclub

    he deserves lots of credit for not walking anybody

    much stronger play here than just your standard "no hitter"

    What it is, is a perfect game. Should be enough.

    that's why it's called a perfect game, someone is a little slow

    I've come to the conclusion pitching is highly emotional.

    Braden pitched in front of friends and family on Mother's Day (his mother passed away from cancer).

    Result: Perfect game

    Last year I attended the first game in which Jonathan Sanchez's father seen him pitch.

    Result: No Hitter (only allowed one baserunner from an error, no walks near perfect)

    Everytime I hear about pitchers pitching in front of friends and family, I put money on them. They usually come to play. Some guy made a post the first week of the season about some Braves pitcher pitching in front of family. I bet on that shit blindly and it was easy money.

    Only 19 of these perfect games were made in MLB history, so it is a rare thing to watch and enjoy
