____________________________
Who links video game speedrunners and baseball players? Mark Buehrle. Mark Buehrle's starts could be best described as a speedrun through the very game of baseball itself. He routinely performed a baseball speedrun. Some Buehrle complete game performances were among the shortest baseball game ever. Well, at least MLB shortest games of the modern era. Sub 2 baby!
In this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, I will look at the career of Mark Buehrle through some Buehrle White Sox and Buehrle Blue Jays starts. In particularly, I'll be breaking down the times of the Mark Buehrle perfect game, as well as Mark Buehrle's 99 minute baseball game, a historic achievement done in a White Sox Mariners 2005 game. Perhaps the most entertaining, however, would have to be the Buehrle vs Sale matchup from 2015.
We'll also look at complaints about slow-paced pitchers. "Pedro Baez slow" "David Price slow" We've all heard complaints. MLB pace of play is a huge topic of discussion right now, and I'm starting to think an MLB pitch clock might be the solution. Hopefully you'll enjoy this one!

@MANCHESTER UNITED Guys like you is why soccer is just not respected in North America. God sports like baseball and hockey are harder to prepare for, soccer's just easy to play. As seen in these videos, baseball and hockey, American football and b-ball all require more actual talent and strategy/intelligence than retarded soccer players flopping like fishes trying to get penalties in 0-0 draws.

@thecaynuck4694 4 жыл бұрын

@MANCHESTER UNITED You're a confirmed idiot. Baseball does have strategy. Pitchers need to pitch around batters, work out counts, batters need to swing at good pitches, small ball wins games. And you need to search more, because there are some crazy crowds with an electric atmosphere. Search up Jose Bautista bat flip or any World Series. And baseball players are not out of shape. Hockey's my favorite sport and I'm Canadian, not American. Canadians are not retards, whether you like it or not. Hockey is objectively better. So is any American sport. Again, popularity does not dictate whether a sport is good or not. The people who watch soccer are often idiotic and waste their time. Soccer's so boring that the fans have to make up stupid chants in order to keep entertained while retards pussies flop and be unsportsmanlike. Running around is nothing impressive. The fact you have the audacity to come here shows how desperate you guys are to force people to like your shit sport. Thankfully, Westerners are smarter than Europeans, Africans, South Americans and whoever else you force to watch your shit sport. The FIFA also has a history of corruption.

He was definitely someone I pointed too when discussing changes in pitcher scoring. The guy was just one of the most consistently-solid pitchers in the history of the game.

He tossed a shutout game with insane tempo, only allowing 2 hits and zero walks just so he could go home and play the new game as soon as possible.

I have a possible skip. I see that the inning value is stored in a byte, with the top of the 1st having the value 0, and the bottom of the 128th having the value 255. If you get a close call safe in the top of the 1st, in the 1st batter of the game, challenge that, then do some pause buffering, it will cause it to have an integer underflow and teleport to the bottom of the 128th. There you need some home run RNG and you'd shatter the record.

Makes me think of chien Ming wangs game when he was in his prime. He used to finish a game in like 90 pitches

I saw something on Twitter last year from PitchingNinja. It overlaid the Kentucky Derby and the time between 2 pitches from Zack Greinke to Ozzie Albies. Brutal.

That damage boost 2 run at the end from Buehrle was pretty clutch.

Love these vids. Very interesting to watch and learn about these players. Few of them went under my nose during their career and finding out about their quirks or successes is fascinating especially in this video format. Great job!

"...baseball that obeys the laws of gravity" Just sounds like something is wrong with the physics engine... I'm sure some speedrunner will find some way to exploit it someday.

Thank you for making this video! Mark Buehrle is my all time favorite White Sox player, and since they're my favorite team that pretty much makes him my favorite baseball player ever. I was watching both his no-hitter and perfecto live - big shout out to my man Dewayne Wise!

I think that’s because of the lower strike out rates and more contact pitching.

I think baseball is just doomed to have long games with minimal action. Hence the steadily declining fan base.

I don't think it's doomed, but I do think it'll survive as a slightly more niche sport rather than a dominant cultural force.

Mark Buehrle and Carl Pavano pitched a classic in 2010. A rain storm was coming and they proceded to pitch a 1 hour, 52 minute game. They were so effective, they beat the storm by 20 minutes!

I was at that 1:39 game against Seattle. Never knew the significance. One thing I remember was the only Mariner who was able to get a hit off Buehrle was Ichiro and he had like 3 of them that game plus scored a run.

My favorite player of all time! I loved his demeanor on the mound. He came at you with pure grit and control and was the ultimate speed runner. He could paint corners with his wide variety of pitches while never really topping 92 on his fastball. Hopefully he will make it to the hof one day. Job well done and great video sir!

@williamkoscielniak820 3 жыл бұрын

He was quite Maddux like. There's a guy on the north side who is very similar to Buehrle; Kyle Hendricks.
