Gooden, Staub among Banner Day judges on the 27th (I'm going). Ken Belson remembers '84:
At some point, a fan dressed in a gorilla suit bolted from the line and ran into left field. With policemen in pursuit, he began waving a Cubs flag. Beer cups and other garbage rained down from the stands. The police eventually tackled the Cubs fan, pulled off his gorilla head and marched him off the field. Undoubtedly, he was taken to the infamous holding tank under the stadium.

extra rest pondered for Santana -- NO SHIT -- and 2 casualties DL'd.
Collins said that outfielder Mike Baxter, who slammed up against the wall after making a tremendous catch in left in the seventh inning Friday, suffered a displaced right collarbone next to his sternum and fractured rib cartilage, and is expected to miss up to six weeks.
Reliever Ramon Ramirez suffered a strained right hamstring diving into the celebration pile after Santana finished off his no-hitter.
Ramirez, 30, who is 2-1 with a 4.78 ERA in 22 appearances, is headed to the disabled list as well, Collins said.

Neyer wonders if a knuckleballer has ever been on such a streak.
After pitching 7⅓ scoreless innings against the Nationals on Thursday afternoon, Dickey's now pitched 24⅔ straight scoreless innings, seven short of the franchise record (set by Jerry Koosman in 1973).
In his last four starts, Dickey's earned four wins while giving up just one run. Perhaps just as stunningly, he's issued only three walks while striking out 38 batters. Knuckleball pitchers don't do that....
It's been a long time since a knuckleball pitcher started an All-Star Game. How long?
Pearl Harbor had been bombed by the Imperial Japanese Navy, but the Allies hadn't invaded Normandy; in 1943, Emil "Dutch" Leonard started the All-Star Game for the American League.
According to fWAR, R.A. Dickey's merely been the 14th-best pitcher in the National League this season. But at 9-1, he's got the best record and managers have historically preferred their All-Star Game starters to sport gaudy records.

Neyer looks at 5-start streaks by knucklers:
Here were the best I found ...
Wilbur Wood, 1971 - 77/82/84/58/83Phil Niekro, 1974 - 70/87/78/80/79Charlie Hough, 1986 - 62/78/88/82/80
Those numbers are their game scores. They all come out to roughly the same averages: Wood 77, Hough 78, Niekro 79.
Now, Robert Alan Dickey's last five starts:
05/22 - 7405/27 - 8106/02 - 8206/07 - 7606/13 - 95
One thing you might notice: Dickey's worst Game Score is better than the other guys' worsts.
Another thing you might notice: Dickey's best Game Score is better than the other guys' worsts.
Dickey's average Game Score over this stretch: almost 82. I am absolutely convinced that no knuckleballer has been more dominant over a stretch of five starts.
But you may quibble with Game Scores if you like. It's supposed to serve as the beginning of a discussion, not the end.
Let's discuss this, then ... In his last five starts, R.A. Dickey has struck out 50 batters and walked three.
I've searched the annals of knuckleball pitchers. It wasn't an exhaustive search. It was semi-exhaustive. It was exhaustive enough to convince me that no knuckleball pitcher has come close to 50 strikeouts and three walks in five starts.

I saw a recap of the game that highlighted some of those pitches, no wonder he's been unhittable lately
I can't believe that knuckleballer R.A. Dickey is a serious Cy Young candidate right now. I think Wakefield had a similar stretch in 1995 but it wasn't this dominant
― frogbs, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 19:34 (thirteen years ago)
Didn't Wakefield have something similar in '92, too, the year the Pirates brought him up (or maybe '91). I remember there was talk of him starting a playoff game on one day's rest. And I still remember the start that Wilbur Wood had one year, when he was a credible threat for 30 early in the year. Let me check...try to get your head around this: he was 13-3 by May 28, the team's 40th game.

― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 19:45 (thirteen years ago)
I've always wondered whether or not a truly dominant knuckler could throw complete games every three days like the old timey pitchers and break a bunch of stats. If Dickey keeps this up I wonder if they'll get creative with him?
― frogbs, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 19:50 (thirteen years ago)

i want to know how he unlocked this next level. are his fingernails the perfect length? do his mechanics matter? (not that anyone knows what proper knuckleball mechanics would be.) he did it in a dome in tampa and at home on a relatively crisp summer evening -- was there any difference in how it moved?
so many questions, but i doubt he knows any of the answers (apart from that of the good news of the bible)

Crossposted from Braves thread:
Sometime in his yout', a 600-lb. stack of drywall fell on his foot and crushed the hell out of it, so he learned to throw a baseball from his knees and built up hella upper body strength. Then when he was finally able to throw from a standing position, he had Laser Rocket Arm and upper-90s velocity is no problem for him.

Grant Brisbee of SBN:
Do you realize that Miguel Batista has thrown the fifth-most innings for the Mets this year? He was on the last Pirates team that made the playoffs. That was the year that Bryce Harper was born. Also, Batista isn't especially good. Fifth-most innings for the Mets, who are ostensibly a contending team. Miguel Batista. Miguel Batista.
Which is to say the Mets' pitching is in something of a transitional period. R.A. Dickey is a golden god. Johan Santana hasn't been the same since his 1,598-pitch no-hitter. Jon Niese is alright, but Dillon Gee might be out for the year. Miguel Batista.

I would honestly feel bad for the guy if they were playing anyone else tonight.
― Your sweet bippy is going to hell (WmC), Saturday, 11 August 2012 23:54 (thirteen years ago)
nah, fuck that
the mets were winning nothing this year and are likely winning nothing soon. r.a. dickey is awesome and i hope he continues to be awesome and wins the cy young, but if the first no-hitter in 50 years of mets history came at the price of johann the rest of the way, then so be it. johann came back, however diminished, and he left his fucking mark. that is totally worth something.

a fact i might have expected a consistently nihilist morbs <3 to realize
― mookieproof, Monday, 13 August 2012 01:01 (thirteen years ago)
I am NOT a nihilist; as Rick Blaine said, I'm a drunkard.
No-hitters are not enough of a "mark" for me; Johan's greatest effort was that penultimate-game shutout in whichever horrific collapse that was.
so glad I turned that shit off tonight at 6-1.

He still trails Cueto in WAR by 1.5 wins.
Wright, OTOH, leads the NL in WAR!

wtf is that and why care?
via Adam Rubin:
The Mets struck out 15 times on Wednesday night. It's the fifth time this year they've struck out at least 15 times in a nine-inning game.
In the first 50 years of Mets history, there were only 14 instances in which 15 Mets struck out in a nine-inning game.
The Mets are the second team to strike out at least 15 times in a nine-inning game five times in a Live Ball Era season.
The other is the Pirates, who have done so six times this season.
Jeremy Hefner was the first Mets starting pitcher to allow at least six earned runs without getting an out in Mets history, and the first to allow six hits without getting an out.

The importance of wins, ERA, and winning pct. undergo miraculous resurrection...I think the joke here is that you're daring someone to call you on how silly you can be about this stuff, and the minute that someone does, you end up looking even sillier for taking the bait. Well played.
― clemenza, Sunday, 23 September 2012 01:42 (thirteen years ago)
he's a fucking Met, dude, that's my interest. And he has a decent argument as the best NL pitcher on both the dinosaur and advance stats, which both decide Cy, see?
― kizz my hairy irish azz (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 23 September 2012 02:07 (thirteen years ago)
Of course he has a decent argument as best pitcher--better than decent, when you look at the whole picture. You're just extremely selective as to when you choose to look at the whole picture; if it were someone else, you'd be quite content to limit the comparison to Cueto's lead in WAR. If your point is that inconsistency's okay as long as a rooting interest is involved, that's fine--funny, but understandable.

groooooaaan. RA is up on Thursday? That would be the perfect game to get close to view the knuckleball in action, cheapish seats to get in (no troll) and heard that the 100 sections are not guarded so heavily at this point. You could get right alongside him for maybe $20.
