Cain vs Lee

[raidersrock99]

Watching that game last night it was one of the best pitching duels i have ever seen

cain 9 innings 2 hits 1 walk 4 k's 91 pitches-64 strikes

lee 10 innings 7 hits 0 walks 7 k's 102 pitches-81 strikes, 3 forced dp's

what amazes me most is how quickly both lee and cain worked throwing only 201 combined pitches. what are your thoughts on this game and where it ranks on the all time list of great pitching duels?

matt cain is good at baseball

Both are great pitchers, but neither of the offenses did themselves any favors

I'm just glad we locked Cain up long term as with Bumgarner

Cain would get so much more recognition on a team that could produce some run support.

I was at the game last night and a lot of fans were complaining about the lack of offense. I enjoyed the pitching just as much as I would have enjoyed an offensive explosion. It was an amazing game to be at IMO. I saw two premier pitchers duel it out, mowing people down, inducing double plays, and just keeping the respective opponent's offense at bay.

Those are what we would call Bandwagoners....i would take a pitching duel over a 10-8 game probably 9/10 times

If I was at the ballpark I'd want to see some offense. When I'm at home and I can see the movement on pitches so much better I hope to see great pitching. At the park, I want to see runs.

edit: But no, you wouldn't catch me complaining at all about last night's game.

Someone told me that Lee guy is good at baseball.

[The Ooh Child]

Watching Lee's curveball almost made me cry a few times last night

Very true.

He'd also get more recognition if ESPN etc. moved away from caring about a pitcher's W-L record as their main metric.

They weren't lying.

If bochy had theriot bunt with pill on 2nd or if pagan wasn't a slapdick we would be talking about Cains back to back complete game shutouts
