Another near perfect game! What is the cause?

Asked by filmfann (52225points) June 2nd, 2010

Today, the Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Gallarraga was robbed of a perfect game, with 2 outs in the 9th inning. Heartbreaking is the only word I can use to describe it.
There were already two perfect games this year, and another nearly perfect (spoiled by an error by the shortstop for the Giants). Has something shifted giving pitchers an advantage? Are the threads heavier? Is it the lack of steroids? Why is there a sudden glut of perfect games?
