It certainly was one of those performances that not only shows up in statistics, but passes the eye test as well. I put part of your quote in bold. I wonder how Bumgarner's performance would have changed if MLB had the 20-second time clock on him between pitches like they are playing around with in the Arizona Fall League. Not wanting to hijack the thread or lead it away from MadBum's historic series......the quote just had me thinking.
