It doesn't matter how fast or slow a pitcher can pitch. It is whether he can get movement and location of his pitches. If Aroldis Chapman is putting pitches right down the middle of the plate, it is going to get hit just as hard as a Jamie Moyer 78 mph "fastball".

Honestly hes my favorite player. How any person can throw 7 perfect innings in his 40s, hit a home run in his career, and be SO respectful to the dude that breaks up his perfect game is remarkable to me . This dude is an unbelievable ball player and the epitome of a respectful player. Hats off Bartolo Colon, we miss you over here in Oakland

One of a kind. I was at the game in San Diego when he hit a 2 run Homer. The look on James Shields face and the reaction of his Mets teamates was priceless.

Its so hard to watch the 8th inning of this game. I'm an Astros fan, but Bartolo Colon having a perfect game at nearly 45 is more important than a meaningless early season win. Whats amazing is that if this was any other team, he might've been able to do it. If Bartolo was playing the marlins or the rays, it could be possible. On a side note this game had some of the worst commentary I've ever fucking heard. Players being called the wrong name, calling it a scoreless game multiple times when it was 1-0, ranting about utter nonsense constantly.

Coincidentally, Bartolo Colon pitched a NO-HITTER for the AAA Buffalo BIsons in a 4-0 victory on June 20, 1997 at NorthAmericare Park in Buffalo, NY vs. the New Orleans Zephyrs, then the AAA affiliate of...the Houston Astros.

So that's why they had trouble with him. All he throws are fastballs so no point in stealing signs.

BluRed I know this is late, but sometimes these decisions are made due to upcoming prospects. I don’t keep up with the yanks and I’m not sure if that’s the reason, but I do know those 25 spots can be brutal decisions. Question for you. Is he a Hall Of Famer? I definitely say yes. He’s done too much for the game, not to be inducted.

One of my favorite players ever. He always seems so cool. His home run in 2016 elevated him to legend status.

I'm glad to see this. I've always really like Bartolo, when he returned a few seasons ago was thrilled. He's a beast! Way to show em age is just a number.

Bartolo the goat

Colon that dude!!

This guy is amazing! I wish, he would have thrown a perfect game. He deserves it!

The one man who outpitched the garbage banging

Even when they knew what pitch was coming they still couldn’t hit off Bartolo, that proves Bartolo is a god.

What the frak??!! As a Braves fan I was excited to see him in a Braves uniform. Then he was just too inconsistent. He'd strike out two guys and then give up four runs. Now he pitches a near perfect game. God bless him. I hope he does great to kick the Astros butt. I just wish he pitched this way for the Braves last year.

Literally the greatest baseball player ever.

Bartolo is one of kind

Big Sexy has an encyclopedic knowledge of hitters across the league and he applies that knowledge like a boss.
