Let's ignore the blown call and realize what's actually happened here. This is the third "perfect" game in MLB this year, and this one was less than a week separated from the last one. What is going on with the pitching this year? All of a sudden we've had a no-hitter, 2 perfect games, 1 game that should be a perfect game, and several near no-hitters.

As of today
20 NL starters have ERAs less than 3.00
19 NL starters have WHIPs less than 1.20
20 AL starters have ERA less than 3.50 and 9 of them under 3.00
17 AL starters have WHIPs less than 1.20

There are obviously more stats we can look at, but I don't think it's entire poor hitting because the lists are mostly comprised of aces and other very pitchers with the exception of Livan Hernandez who should fall off the face of the earth soon. Just makes you wonder how pitching so dominant this year.
