Mark Buehrle Was Baseball's Speedrunner | Baseball Bits

____________________________
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!

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.

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.

    Here's a funny story that relates to both video games and baseball speedruns: In 2002, the Hanshin Tigers pitcher Igawa Kei (Yankees 07-08) had a start scheduled on May 16th, but that happened to also be the same day that Final Fantasy XI released in Japan. 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.
