OK, as a Red Sox fan I am very disappointed in this 0-6 start but as a fan of the game I can’t believe that Fausto Carmona and John Lester both got lifted with 2 hit and 3 hit shutouts going. I don’t accept the fact that the complete game is almost unheard of even though the rest of the world has. This brings me to a spectacular pitching performance by Milwaukee’s Yovani Gallardo of Milwaukee over the Braves. A spectacular pitching performance is by any pitcher who:
1) Completes the game
2) Pitches a shutout
3) Gives up 3 or fewer hits
Gallardo pitched a 2 hit complete game shutout, granted he only struck out 2 but this is noteworthy just the same. As for our Red Sox-Indians matchup, the fact that it’s a scoreless game in the 8th and it’s in the hands of the bullpen is just something I can’t wrap my head around.
