____________________________
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 года назад

@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.

@coldsnap5742 4 года назад

We already have pace-of-play rules. ENFORCE THEM. Rule 8.04: "When the bases are unoccupied, the pitcher shall deliver the ball to the batter within 12 seconds after he receives the ball. Each time the pitcher delays the game by violating this rule, the umpire shall call “Ball.” The 12-second timing starts when the pitcher is in possession of the ball and the batter is in the box, alert to the pitcher. The timing stops when the pitcher releases the ball. The intent of this rule is to avoid unnecessary delays. The umpire shall insist that the catcher return the ball promptly to the pitcher, and that the pitcher take his position on the rubber promptly. Obvious delay by the pitcher should instantly be penalized by the umpire." Rule 6.02b: "(1) The batter shall take his position in the batter’s box promptly when it is his time at bat. (2) The batter shall not leave his position in the batter’s box after the pitcher comes to Set Position, or starts his windup. PENALTY: If the pitcher pitches, the umpire shall call “Ball” or “Strike,” as the case may be." COMMENT: "The batter leaves the batter’s box at the risk of having a strike delivered and called, unless he requests the umpire to call 'Time.' The batter is not at liberty to step in and out of the batter’s box at will."

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.

Thanks for the nod to speedrunning, it can feel like a relatively obscure topic but as a speedrunner myself I appreciate the nod to it. :)

Who’s here after the summoning salt video?

@deidryt9944 4 года назад

"...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.

There's always something wonky going on with the Source Engine.

In the early days of the World’s Series, there were games less than an hour.

@FoolishBaseball 4 года назад

Pretty crazy to thing about the logistics of that compared to today's game.

@yourmomlikeswidgets3901 4 года назад

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.

@FoolishBaseball 4 года назад

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.

Hit the nail on the head with the comment that winning pace is "a wonderful legacy". So true. There's so much to be said about making the best use of everyone's time.
