Perry pitched until 1983, when he was 44 years old. He won 314 games and was inducted into Cooperstown in 1991. He ended the chapter on this game in his book with a nugget of gamesmanship: “Do I still wet them? I sure know how. But that doesn’t mean I do it -- or even that I ever did it. Maybe I’m just kidding. Maybe I got the Mets out in 1964 on sheer talent.”
It was generally felt that his best days were behind him, and the Giants wouldn’t even consider picking up the option for 2022.
Mike Yastrzemski found a young Giants fan in the outfield at Dodger Stadium during Saturday's 11-4 win, and made sure to get him a game ball at the end of an inning. Little did he know it would lead to an adorable moment.Toronto Blue Jays Laptop Case

"Trying to keep shoulders level where I don't get a lean back, and trying when I release the ball almost where I feel like I can walk through the target.Milwaukee Brewers Laptop Case
Gausman, as has been the case a few times recently, didn't feel at his best, and it was clear that his command wasn't what it usually is. The Arizona Diamondbacks put a runner on in every one of Gausman's five innings, but he responded with strikeouts every time, leading the way in an 8-0 win that got the Giants back on track after an ugly weekend.

Plesac is a cautionary tale for believing in small sample sizes from previous seasons. Although he made eight great starts last year, the right-hander has delivered mediocre results in 2021, despite enjoying an unsustainable .224 BABIP. His 16.2 percent strikeout rate is an awful mark, and his 4.51 FIP and 4.35 xFIP paint the picture of someone who is a streamer rather than a lineup fixture. Now on the IL with a fractured thumb, Plesac should be dropped in most leagues.Arizona Diamondbacks Laptop Case
