free topic post - Ryu's perfect game?

Hyun-jin Ryu.

'Korean monster' hyun jin-Ryu (Ryu) starts in May 27th (Korean time) and pitched for 7 and 1/3 innings and LA dodgers win with Ryu's good pitch. The score was 4 : 3(LA dodgers : Cincinnati Reds).
Ryu made perfect game until 7th inning. Perfect game means ' the pitcher allowed no runners for first base. It means bases on balls are not allowed. And also hits are not allowed. It is different from no hit no run. For make no hit no run, it only needs no hit. Hit by pitched ball or base on balls are allowed. So, perfect game is harder to make.
Third base man Justin Turner helped Ryu a lot. He caught 2~3 balls that look like hit. And he helped in attack. He battled with Ace pitcher of Cincinnati,
Johnney cueto. Turner got base on balls with 15 balls battle. Cueto's mind collapsed and he allowed 3 more point. And this inning Ryu hit and get one point.
But 7th attack was too long. Ryu missed his rhythm and allowed Todd Frazier two-base hit. And he allowed two more hit and allowed 1 point.
He interviewed that he didn't want to miss perfect game so he threw the ball inside strike zone to make not base on balls.
He handed over the mound to Brian Wilson. But he called the all runner into home and allowed 2 point. Fortunately, he handed over Kenley Jansen and he depended with no losing point.

There is a new about it.

And this is my opinion : I'm so sad that he missed the perfect game as a fan of Ryu.  Although I missed the live game because I have taken a class in that time. He said that he wanted perfect game that he missed also perfect game but no hit no run. He gives us a great lesson which means 'don't seek to much perfection.'


P.S : May 27th was Memorial Day, so the all players wore camo style clothes.
