A Thread For Starting Pitchers That Are Doing Really Well

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.

You guys are fast asleep. How could "The Franchise" not be mentioned a single time in this thread since its inception?

MATT GARZA

NEVER MIND

tho a 108-pitch CG w/ 10 Ks and only 2 baserunners (1 solo HR, 1 BB) ain't too shabby

one of the weavers is trailing 1-0 & belongs on this thread

balls, 97 pitches/0 hits = hit the showas!

LOS ANGELES PITCHERS JERED WEAVER AND JOSE ARREDONDO COMBINED FOR AN UNOFFICIAL NO-HITTER.

ah how fondly im reminded of the andy hawkins game

i was at the dodgers/angels game because some dude randomly gave me and my gf tickets at this restaurant 30 min before the game! i was so excited because it was HISTORIC and i kept telling my gf this and she didn't seem to care that much. but it's only the 4th time in MLB history that this has happened!

The Weaver pout was in full effect.

Weaver? Uh-oh, this thread could go "taco" toxic any second now!

Tim Kurkjian pretty much wet himself over this whole thing last night. Ridiculous.

Oh that’s unfortunate

You wouldn't believe this: MY CABLE/INTERNET WENT OUT just as the inning was about to start! So I missed the HR. I was screaming many colourful curse words at the top of my lungs thinking I'd miss the no-hitter.

If anyone was going to break it up, glad it was Taylor Ward (thinking about what happened last year). Weirdly enough, Dave Stieb lost a no-hitter on this day in 1985 when Rudy Law hit a HR to lead off the 9th (nothing on YouTube):

He'd get much, much closer than that before finally pitching one in 1990--still the only one in Jays history.

(The caption says "with one strike to go"--one pitch to go, yes, but the count was 2-0, so not one strike.)

Uhhhhhhhhhh..... Patrick Corbin?!?!?

I tune in to see how has kept the yankees scoreless for 6 innings, to a mound visitation for Corbin who is at 100 pitches. They let him stay in and he gets the pop up.

This is more impressive to me than a no-hitter. Go Corby!!!!

i'm hearing framber valdez is doing something cool again

Skubal holding the triple crown again after tonight's game.

So the Cubs! Imanaga/Pearson/Hodge!!!

good for them

logan gilbert has a 1-hitter through 7 innings, 79 pitches

sulser (opener) and alexander thru 6 for TB v phils

ah well nevertheless

bowden's got another no no going

whoops!

sorry if i jinxed it :o)

What in the wide wide world of sports is going on with this guy?!

just a huge hr by lindor

I did not care for it

Tigers had it perfect to the 8th. Still a no-no

Gunnar Henderson does not respect the no-no
