SIGNS: Clay Buchholz Throws "Immaculate" Inning, Strikes Out 3 Orioles with 9 Pitches
Clay Buccholz is born 8/14 like Tim Tebow. I was saying that it's kind of blasphemous if you have Tim Tebow on the cover of a magazine posing like Jesus.
They said in the news that Clay Buchholz had an "immaculate" inning.
Clay struck out:
- Adam Jones born 8/1 of 1985
- Matt Wieters born 5/21 of 1986
- Chris Davis born 3/17 of 1986
Adam Jonse is born 8/1 when Colorado became a state. 5/21 is when Harold Camping thought the world would end. 3/17 is St. Patrick's Day and my stepdad's birthday.
Bobby Valentine says that Clay pitched like he was a man possessed. It's referring to a Demon. That's the Subconscious Mind of Bobby Valentine making reference to Clay born 8/14 like Tim Tebow as that "demon" theme or False Prophet.
Bobby Valentien is Bob or Robert. Tim Tebow's father, who is a pastor, is Robert. That Robert tag will always light up since Rob means to steal.

Clay Buchholz Throws "Immaculate" Inning, Strikes Out 3 Orioles with 9 Pitches
By Kevin Kaduk | Big League Stew - 8 hours ago
It's the dream of every pitcher since they first take the mound in Little League. Strike out the side in nine straight pitches and return to the dugout as quickly as you left it. While it might not be the very definition of true efficiency, it's the one that makes you feel most dominant.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz got to experience that feeling in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles, using only three pitches to strike out each of the bird batters he faced in the sixth inning at Camden Yards. The "immaculate inning" against Adam Jones, Matt Wieters and Chris Davis was so brief it was edited into a clip that takes less than a minute to watch.
Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said Buchholz pitched "like a man possessed" against the Orioles. He's just the 44th pitcher to get out of a half-inning with nine pitches, though three pitchers - Lefty Grove, Sandy Koufax and Nolan Ryan - did it twice. Philadelphia's Juan Perez and Washington's Jordan Zimmermann both did the deed in 2011. (Here's the list.)

What's kind of interesting is that the list of three-pitch innings is much longer than nine-pitch innings. Wonder how many of them came on getaway days?
Here's Buchholz's pitch chart from the sixth inning (via Brooks Baseball):
