2 outs away from his 3rd straight complete game

I wonder when the last time someone started their career with back-to-back complete game shutouts was.

 

Albers was not given that opportunity for such a meaningless accomplishment.

Now that you bring it up, yeah, it'd be nice to see a Twins pitcher crap their pants when the Yankees weren't in town. It'd be a nice change of pace.

Let's hope the Twins won try to charge an extra 15 bucks for that like they thought about for bp.

I don't know.....that could be worth it.

And as was pointed out earlier, the rarity of the accomplishment can't be ignored. More than 4 times as likely to throw a no-hitter than to pitch a CGSO in your debut appearance.

 

and nobody will remember in a month or a year or until some other rookie does something similar.

 

A complete game no-hitter is the standard of excellence and is referred to many times for many reasons. Since this was not a no-hitter, it belongs in the "nice game" category.

He would have remembered...the record books would have also...just because some want to minimize it cause it isn't a popular accomplishment doesn't make it irrelevant.
