A Thread For Starting Pitchers That Are Doing Really Well

Man I sure picked the right meaningless Royals game to go to. Never thought I'd see a no-hitter.

well they are often worse pitched than some one or two hit games.

well, you know, it takes a tremendous amount of luck to achieve a one or two hitter.

they are often worse pitched than three or four hitters.

haha, fuck you :)

(METS HAVE DONE FINE W/OUT ONE IN 46 YEARS)

best pitched game i ever saw live was when pedro struck out 15 and lost. to tampa. completely wtf.

excuse me, retrosheet.org tells me he struck out 17 and lost.

PITCHING
Tampa Bay Devil Rays         IP     H   R  ER  BB  SO  HR

Trachsel W(2-2)               9     3   0   0   3  11   0
Boston Red Sox               IP     H   R  ER  BB  SO  HR

P. Martinez L(5-1)            9     6   1   1   1  17   0

but Trachsel pitched better! HE GAVE UP HALF AS MANY HITS!

anyone see WGN rerun the 9th of Jim Maloney's no hitter vs the Cubs in '65, a few weeks ago during a rain delay? The guy walked TEN and threw something like 190 pitches!

Back when the game was played by MEN

pretty sure while w/ montreal pedro threw 9 perfect innings & ended up losing

that's not too impressive, a lot of bad luck involved there.

xp to Andy: MEN whose arms were dead at 31!

so what? all the hitters were either boozed up or hungover. EVEN PLAYING FIELD.

Back then, you didn't know whether you'd HAVE your throwing arm the next day -- lost to the combine out on the back forty, or combat, or what have you. You just threw like hell, left everything out there on the mound.

I once left my watch out on the mound, but that was not on purpose.

daniel cabrera, the consecutive reigning AL walks champion, pitched his third game WITHOUT issuing a walk this season last night. his three-peat is in peril as he has now tumbled out of the top ten on the heels of his 8th straight quality start.

Following Daver's stinging rebukes, I'd like to known if it's now OK to say that Lester pitched a NH.

Dana Eveland is pitching very nicely.

i saw andrew miller strike out 9 the other night, but i originally thought it was 13 or so, so i couldn't even imagine seeing 17

joe saunders is 8-1 w/ a 2.31 era right now

JUSTIN DUCHSCHERER

n/m

Cueto through five

Last Play: G. Blanco reached on bunt single to third

>:O

BRETTY MYERS OH MY THRU 6

Oh well

Greg Maddux still has it. He's perfect so far . . .

Ladies and Gentlemen, Bitter Cubsfan

I guess it's all part of what they call . . . gowring up.

you, f, hit the gowrs.

poor form.

was he perfect? i watched a bar fight at the home of the arts in the ukrainian village. never noticed.

felicity thought it would be 'funny' to post that after he'd pitched 1 inning & has now given herself a temp ban, assuming she has any honor left

Greg Maddux still has it. He's perfect so far . . .

I will give him to you for Rich Hill and Matt Murton, whaddayasay.

Haha temp ban = 5 days vacation from ILX.

Todd Wellemeyer is on the verge of 7-1 w/ an era under 3. thank you, kc royals.

DAVE BUSH

The same Dave Bush recently knocked out of the first inning by my ranked-30th-in-offense MLB 2K8 team?

It takes a village. Containing the same person. Doing stuff.

Cranky Toronto fans jinxing the hell out of DB on the BJ thread need not spread their poor sportsmanship here.

i may be cranky but i wish mr bush the best of luck with whatever may or may not be going on.

An Overbay TRIPLE?

i did not see that coming.
nor did i see rios getting a hit with a runner on - when he'd learn to do that?

2007?

Certainly not that lousy Adam Dunn.

the gays love Dave Bush, tho not as much as they love JJ Hardy. (personal observation)

uh, did you mean to spell "jays" there?

I don't know if the Jays lust for Bush

they might, now.

The 13 strikeouts Skubal recorded Sunday were the most ever in a Maddux, topping the 12 recorded by Cleveland’s Carlos Carrasco in 2014, the Phillies’ Cliff Lee in 2011 and the Dodgers’ Sandy Koufax in 1964.

But none of it seemed to impress Skubal too much when he learned about the feat:

"I'm not really trying to pitch for accolades, I'm trying to win."

Brandon Pfaadt

Rude lol

David Peterson 104 Pitches, 9 IP, 0 Runs

Senga/Peterson, Mets with double aces rn

Senga is healthy?!

Senga leads the NL in ERA and is 2nd in MLB

Peterson has been excellent since returning from hip surgery last year. It felt a little too good to be true last year but he’s looking like the real deal this year.

Senga is healthy?!

terrible jinx

Ooooof

Damn. Hopefully he's not out too long. They've got options to hold down the fort for a bit at least.

What stocks should I buy thinwall?

holy shit

Trump hasn’t exploded from an obstructed bowel?!

brewers have a pitcher taking a perfecto into the 7th

brewers rookie misiorowsi perfect through six (80 pitches tho)

guy throws a 96mph slider ffs

Same guy I was posting about last week, I think...11 career innings now, no hits.

feels like the brewers are icing their own pitcher by scoring 5 in this inning

So much for that.

Clarke Schmidt through 7

deGrom: 7 innings 86 pitches.

Miz another 5 scoreless innings today, got the won vs. Skenes, this dude seems pretty good

He looks to be something else, doesn't he?

Brewers: 16 IP, 3 H, 7 BB, 19 K, 1.13
Minors: 233.2 IP, 138 H, 140 BB, 320 K, 3.04

With the control issues and the height, he really is reminiscent of early Randy Johnson.

it is pretty incredible how unhittable he is when he is locating

he's already thrown the fastest pitches in Brewer history

Old man Skenes.

(Sure enough, Skenes is two months younger!)

Nick Martinez through seven.

Thought this was bumped for Sonny Gray

Fucking impressive line from Gray

that’s a Maddux stat line if I’ve ever seen one.

yeah, that was a good one for sonny gray.

complete game, 1 hit (not that it matters…a single), 11Ks, 89 pitches. the third inning was the longest of the night, at 12 pitches
