Blah blah Red Sox whatever. Will A-Rod be a Dodger? - Page 9

In certain circumstances, a game is considered regulation length in as few as five (complete) innings. Using GD's one pitch per inning scenario, it would be 5 pitches. Using the three pitches per inning, it would be 15 pitches.

ETA: Darn it, I'm still incorrect (I too read in that it had to be the winning pitcher). Minimum is 13 pitches.

Actually in that case it's 12. If the home team is leading after the top of the 5th, it's a regulation game, so the visiting pitcher would not have to pitch the bottom.

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

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.

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.

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.

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