NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe and more on losing the perfect game with 2 outs in the 9th:
That's b.s. He leaned in on that pitch. #bushleague.

Terrible way to lose a perfect game.

looked like a totally normal reaction from a hitter to an inside breaking ball- why the hate?
— Brandon McCarthy (@BMcCarthy32) June 20, 2015
Watching that play more, I don't think it was "bush" league. He didn't need to do that, but it could have been a normal reaction.
— Geoff Schwartz (@geoffschwartz) June 20, 2015
To the guy who just messed up Scherzer's perfect game leaning into that pitch.. Lame. Still a no hitter. Impressive
