Near misses

On three instances in Bush's career he has flirted with a no-hitter, taking it beyond seven complete innings. The first was on July 20, 2004, while pitching with the Blue Jays in only his third major-league starting appearance. He pitched 7{{sfrac|1|3}} innings against the Oakland A's until Damian Miller, his future teammate with the Brewers, singled against him. In Milwaukee, Bush's next opportunity came against his former team, Toronto, on June 19, 2008. Lyle Overbay, the man Bush was traded for, led off the eighth inning with a triple to end the bid. In an April 23, 2009 game against the Philadelphia Phillies, he once again took the no-hit bid 7{{sfrac|1|3}} innings before giving up a home run to Matt Stairs.^[12]

All told, in 211 games pitched and 187 starts, Bush posted a 56–69 win-loss record, with six complete games and three shutouts. In 1,144{{fraction|1|3}} innings pitched, he allowed 1,199 hits and 296 bases on balls with 768 strikeouts. A good control pitcher, he led the National League in strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.37) in {{mlby|2006}}.

Post-pitching career

Bush began working in private business in Bridgton, Maine, in 2011, but he remained in baseball as a coach at Bridgton Academy. He joined MLB International as an envoy-coach in March 2015, serving for two years as a pitching coach with national teams from China and South Africa, then joined the Red Sox late in 2016 as a pitching development analyst. In his 2019 role, he serves as one of two pitching coordinators in Boston's minor league system, with veteran coach Ralph Treuel in charge of logistics.
