Was really hoping he could get those 200 innings. I mean he's short by basically an inning. But if the wasn't pulled they would still be batting. Screw you TB, can't give a legend his moment.

He's not gone yet. You never know. If there's an injury to a starter in the playoffs, Buehrle could be added to the playoff roster.

Thank you Buehrle for holding down the fort until Stroman got back.

He got four outs that inning. That whole thing should have been much shorter and less painful.

Thank you for being a true pro and a vet, enjoy your retirement with your family and your pitbulls.

0 earned runs allowed. His defense really let him down

Yeah, it's been a fun ride. It would be nice if he could make the postseason roster somehow. The 200 innings would have been nice, but he's still what, like 3rd all-time in consecutive 200-inning seasons? He wasn't gonna hit #1, and he's still riding off with a hell of a resume.

The ultimate role player. He was never a star, but he was Solid. He never dominated for a whole season, but once in a while threw a gem. Always solid though. Never an Ace but always as solid as any #3 guy you could want.

He is not a prototypical HOF talent but he will make it to the HOF before some if the biggest stars in the game do.

He's never going to make the Hall of Fame, but I think he was better than most #3 pitchers

He's a 5x all-star with a career ERA below 4

That's pretty good for a soft tossing lefty during the steroids era

I think he was considered a #2 starter throughout most of his career
