for the record I didn't edit your post. You must have hit "quote" right after I submitted my edit

Which brings up a question that I have wondered: what is the lowest ACTUAL pitch count a pitcher has ever had in a complete game.

13 - see my edited post (which I added after you quoted - this thread is going too fast).

12. Visitor doesn't need to throw a pitch in the bottom of the 5th.

ETA: Oh, wait, right, the home team needs to score a run. Yeah, 13.

The Red Sox were swept by the Angels. They played badly. They deserved to get whomped.

Greg Maddux owns the 3 lowest complete games pitch counts, the lowest being 78.

Hmm... I thought it would have been lower.

But thanks for the info.

10 pitches per inning is considered an efficient rate. At 78 pitches for 27 outs, it took Maddux fewer than 3 pitches per out. That's just unreal.

That is not just great pitching, that is also having a great team backing you up on defense.

Technically no since you stated "if the pitcher is on the home team"
Under your scenario you would still fall prey to bat 8 pitch 9.
