Galarraga pitched a great game, but Halladay’s was better. You say that he pitched to contact? Okay thats fine, but Halladay was more dominant.
Galarraga pitching to contact ensured that his defense played stellar. So did Halladay, but Halladay got the K’s when he needed them. He didn’t pitch to contact.
Galarraga threw it against the Indians, yes, pretty much a AAA team. Halladay faced a Marlins team that has far better hitters than the Indians do.

nice to know i’m arguing with a guy who’s never pitched before. you really think it’s feasible to strike everyone out? i’m not discounting anything halladay did, but to dismiss galarraga because you can’t grasp the concept of pitching to contact is laughable. i mean really, you’ve never heard of groundball pitchers? groundballs mean the guy is throwing strikes and making the hitters pound it into his defense. is using the defense a crutch now? poor guy, he shoulda struck out 27. matter fact, he shouldn’t even have a catcher, what a loser, relying on a teammate to catch his pitches. please. stick to football, buddy.

dude all you are proving is you can add baseball to the list of sports you know nothing about. Last time we played this little game you wanted to claim you would build a NFL team around a corner and now you are claiming a guy who only struck out 3 guys and had to rely on his defense for 24 outs was better then Halladay who dominated a better lineup. Marlins were 2 games under .500 while Indians were 13 games under

Your argument was laughable then and hilarious now. The Jets went to the AFC championship game with no-name d-lineman and a defensive foundation at cornerback. Wake up, it’s 2010 not 1975.
When it comes to baseball, it doesn’t matter how you get them out. He got them out and he dominated. Period.

lol really?
Halladay was dominant. How can you say he wasn’t? He simply dominated the Marlins. Not saying that Gallarrage didn’t dominate the Indians, but he wasn’t on Halladay’s level.

halladay absolutely was dominant, never said he wasn’t. he’s been dominant for a long time. i just think galarraga put on a clinic, a true masterpiece. it’s not easy to average less than 10 pitches an inning and leave the opposing offense completely flustered in the process. the marlins are second in the NL in strikeouts as a team and have only one lefthanded batter in their starting nine. to see them striking out and befuddled by a righthanded starter is an average day for them, quite frankly.

We can both agree that Halladay and Galarraga were dominant right?
But when it comes down to it, Halladay put on the better show.

I disagree. Strikeouts aren’t everything. Kerry Wood once struck out 20 guys in a game! Galarraga is the one people have been talking about, and will be talking about, for decades to come. Halladay won’t be remembered for his perfect game because it was no different than Jiminez’s no-hitter or Dallas Braden’s. Halladay’s was probably the fourth most memorable pitching performance, quite frankly. Galarraga dominated the Indians, and he got 28 outs.

The reason they will talk about his forever is because he was denied the perfect game. If he got it it would have gone down like the others.
This just proved you have no idea what you are talking about

the final thing i’ll say… as if i haven’t made my point enough. how often does a guy strike out 11 guys? every single day? stephen strasburg got 14 k in only 7 innings today!
how often do guys record 27 (28) outs in under 90 pitches! very very rarely do players get CG under 90 pitches. i think it’s a rarer feat, and a more impressive feat.

Two things:
a) I got cut off in the final second, but all I said was “perfect [game].”
b) I’m a moron for spelling the guy’s name wrong. Should be Galarraga* (>.<)
