That game was Lee’s third straight complete game (and then threw 8 innings the next start). You never see that anymore and I miss when pitchers regularly going 7+ was a thing
Although Cliff Lee's streak of 38 consecutive innings without a walk ended today, he still earned his 3rd complete game in as many starts despite giving up 3 earned runs.
The Seattle Mariners are such a waste in baseball. The fact they acquired cliff Lee makes absolutely zero sense. They are one of the teams that if they are contending, which is really never there is a more deserving team that should be in their spot what I’m trying to say is they are a waste of a franchise , they are horribly ran and they take players away from teams that would benefit from those players way more
2007: 88-74, only 6 games back of the Wild Card 2007 off-season: want to take the next step, trade Adam Jones and pieces for Erik Bedard 2008: Bedard spends more time on the DL, team loses 100 games 2009: 85-77, not terrible 2009 off-season: want to go all-in, acquire Cliff Lee, Chone Figgins, Eric Byrnes, and Milton Bradley 2010: another dumpster fire season

Then he threw 59.1 innings in his next seven starts. Absolutely insane and is something you’ll never see again the way modern baseball is managed
10:59 bring back pitchers hitting!
7:16 Thome homer
That's kind of a shame that the stadium in San Juan doesn't have natural grass.
18:27 Halladay didn't want this in the postseason
Cliff Lee walked a batter!
Strasburg is in the Hall of Fame!

Peak Felix Hernandez was on those teams too and were no where close to contention
