There must be something in the water of our nation's ballparks because I can't come up with any other explanation as to why so many pitchers (some even relatively unknown) are having incredible games this year! You have the two Perfect Games earlier this year, then the controversial "28 Out Perfect Game" pitched by Armando Gallaraga and now a two hit shutout by Cleveland hurler, Justin Masterson; and this isn't the first shutout of the year either.
I mean, as a lover of the game, I am definitely not complaining about a pitcher's duel; there's nothing better in my own personal opinion. In fact, I especially like them because it gets me home in time to update my readership and get to bed before I start turning orange and growing a vine (turning into a pumpkin if you couldn't tell). What blows me away is the fact that there has never been two Perfect Games pitched in a season let alone almost three until this year! And Armando is fresh from the minors as well! Either the farm teams are growing them right or the high school and college draft crop is stronger and more selective than it used to be. I'll go with both.
