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.

Max Scherzer through 0.2...wait, wrong thread. I was looking for the (Norm Macdonald voice) Thread for Starting Pitchers Who Are Getting Brutally Hammered.

Parker Messick was doing pretty good right up until the 9th today

don't want to jinx it but Ryne Nelson is on one

Brewers had Skubal last night and Skenes tonight, who is on one...

...or shall I say...

on none.

Ranger Suarez against the Jays (through 5).

u jinxed him

a weird one going down in texas right now

dustin may through 7

Eury thru 7 in Sacramento! (88F 31% humidity)

92 pitches tho

lol, they yanked him at 92 perfect pitches.

ladies and gentlemen: your (West) Sacramento Athletics.

even the new A who has been smashing everything (Kuroda-Grauer) couldn't touch Eury...

sorry for BeeOK-ing but the Marlins brought in this guy who looks like the 2nd rhythm guitarist for a Pablo Cruise cover band and he has given up 5 runs without recording an out.

Imagine being up 8-0 with your pitcher perfect through 7...

and then your bullpen absolutely implodes and you're forced to bring in your closer who almost shits the bed but closes out a 9-8 squeaker.

this guy who looks like the 2nd rhythm guitarist for a Pablo Cruise cover band

name names

Cease is through six, but sitting around 90 pitches.

7 innings, 106 pitches. Unfortunately, it's probably wise to take him out--without Cease, this team is dead.

8 innings. looks ready for the 9th!

oh wait no. just 7

NOW through 8! quick inning.

8/115 (and saved by Varsho at the wall). Genuinely torn. It'd be nice to think that Cease will give an honest assessment of how he feels, but what pitcher would at this point?

his career high for pitches in a game before this - 114 in a shutout he threw in 2024

They're piling on more runs...a bit of breather probably helps, unless he's in the dugout too long.

If it's against the Giants does it really count tho?

Yikes, he has to get through Arraez.

Here for the jinx

Or not.

Lol

with all those runs, i didn't even realize what he had going until the 7th

jared jones

..just got taken out for mason montgomery lol

Had to rush out earlier...I'm shouldering the blame here; by looking ahead to Arraez, I totally disrespected Heliot Ramos.
