Would you happen to know the movie that it's taken from? I think I've seen every possible scenario for that scene except the real one.

Downfall
Downfall (2004)

The original production company, who has had their obscure film made world famous from the use of the above sequence in innumerable parodies, has begun demanding take-downs, citing copyright infringement.

Kinda' short-sighted, if you ask me.

Good morning boys.

So, how about a trivia question? From this mornings paper.

Baseball - what is the minimum number of pitches that a pitcher can throw and have a complete game?

27 is too easy, so that probably isn't it.

Technically it could be zero, though that would never happen.

No, and how could it be zero? How could that be?

Hint, a complete game is not necessarily a win, and the losing team often only pitches 8 innings.

Like I said, it would never happen, but.....

A pitcher has 12 seconds to deliver the ball to the plate, or the umpire calls a ball. If he were to stand up on the mound and never throw the ball, then pick off the guy once he got to first base 27 (or 24) times.....

Silly, I know...but technically possible.


Are we talking 9 inning game, or does a delayed/called 4 1/2 inning game count?


If 4 1/2 counts, my next guess is 15 pitches.

Complete regulation game.

Another hint - the pitcher in question loses 1-0.

OK, how about 25?

One home team batter either hits one pitch for a home run, or reaches base on a hit and somehow scores, either by stealing bases or getting "balked" to the plate. The other 24 batters make out on one pitch each.

The losing pitcher doesn't pitch the bottom of the ninth since the home team is ahead.

Precisely, and extra credit for accurately describing the scenario.

A perfect game must be at least 27 pitches.
A perfect 8 innings would be only 24 pitches, but you must still pitch the 9th.
The only way to pitch less than 27 is to lose. That one batter has to reach base and score, but only have been pitched one. I guess he could be hit by the pitch too, and then score on errors or balks.
