3 outs away. This is his 7th start.

lol this would be the 2nd time the Brewers trade away a pitcher and immediately have him throw a no hitter

frogbs, Sunday, 9 September 2018 01:31 (six years ago) link

aw raspberries.

bauer through six, but way too many pitches

The Jays like to spot the opposition three-six innings of no-hit baseball most every night.

Not a no-hitter, but Kyle Hendricks is through 8IP at just 71 pitches.

WmC, Friday, 3 May 2019 20:39 (five years ago) link

it is a shutout

81-pitch complete game shutout

na (NA), Friday, 3 May 2019 20:50 (five years ago) link

only 3 Ks

Lot of good D in the outfield today.

WmC, Friday, 3 May 2019 20:51 (five years ago) link

yeah but Hendricks didn't even hit a HR, laaaame

these are not all of the possible side effects (Karl Malone), Friday, 3 May 2019 20:52 (five years ago) link

Fiers second career no-hitter (also: second career shutout, second career complete game)

I was busy being tortured by Edwin Diaz

I guess that's about as inelegant as no-hitters get...I salute him, anyway (when he tries to salute back, he won't be able to lift his arm).

The Rays are 8 innings into a combined perfect game -- opener Ryne Stanek (first 2 innings) and Ryan Yarbrough (6 IP).

never mind

Rookie Paddack for the Padres. Through 7.

Van Horn Street, Thursday, 18 July 2019 01:14 (five years ago) link

Castro HR, it will never happen for the Padres.

Van Horn Street, Thursday, 18 July 2019 01:16 (five years ago) link

sale has 12 strikeouts through five (89 pitches tho)

mookieproof, Thursday, 18 July 2019 18:28 (five years ago) link

Leake perfect through 7, more importantly: he got Trout and Ohtani and he only threw 67 (!!!) pitches.

Van Horn Street, Saturday, 20 July 2019 04:10 (five years ago) link

@BtBScore
Mike Leake has allowed an average exit velocity of 90.9 MPH on 16 batted balls.

Van Horn Street, Saturday, 20 July 2019 04:16 (five years ago) link

This is what it must have been like watching prime Maddux.

Van Horn Street, Saturday, 20 July 2019 04:21 (five years ago) link

Welp, well now he gets to pitch a Maddux.

tsk, slept on Astros' latest combined 0-hitter

This thread has probably outlived its usefulness--like Keith, I couldn't care less unless it's a CG. (Two guys combining for four home runs doesn't thrill me either.) Anyway, a game I'm watching, Verlander's through five: 73 pitches, 8 strikeouts.

clemenza, Sunday, 1 September 2019 18:32 (five years ago) link

Opener/bulk/middle guy also pitching extremely well for the Jays--one hit.

clemenza, Sunday, 1 September 2019 18:33 (five years ago) link

Buck just called this "a good old-fashioned pitchers' duel." Kind of, sort of.

clemenza, Sunday, 1 September 2019 18:35 (five years ago) link

Through 7, 93 pitches. He may not get it, but I think he has enough to finish. Haven't seen a clear replay, but he might have gotten a call on a full-count pitch to Biggio.

clemenza, Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:03 (five years ago) link

Kind of looking like he will get 9 no hit innings but the game will go into extras in a 0-0 tie.

Michael F Gill, Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:15 (five years ago) link

Struck out the side in the 8th--106 pitches. Getting all the close calls right now. 13 K, game score of 94 (if I've calculated right). Yeah...I hope the Astros score here.

clemenza, Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:21 (five years ago) link

here we go.

he has the lead, 2-0 in the bottom of the ninth, one down

i am also larry mullen jr (Karl Malone), Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:32 (five years ago) link

this would be his...third no-hitter?

i am also larry mullen jr (Karl Malone), Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:32 (five years ago) link

wtg jv

johnny crunch, Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:37 (five years ago) link

Yes and second against the Jays in Toronto.

Van Horn Street, Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:37 (five years ago) link

I really hope Kershaw can bounce back like JV did over the last three seasons.

Van Horn Street, Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:38 (five years ago) link

definitely a hall of fame deal-sealing kind of event, one would think

i am also larry mullen jr (Karl Malone), Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:39 (five years ago) link

at this point it's just whether he can carry on like this long enough to be a first rounder

i am also larry mullen jr (Karl Malone), Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:40 (five years ago) link

I saw the last out (and I still don't care)

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:41 (five years ago) link

Phenomenal. I've caught the last few batters of lots of no-hitters/perfect games online, but (the nothingness of the game aside) that's probably the greatest pitched game I've ever seen where I watched almost the whole thing. He got a couple of close strikes, but I don't think there was anything close to a close play the whole game. I think he hit 100 for game score. I hope such games don't become permanently extinct.

clemenza, Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:43 (five years ago) link

JV and Cole had been very close statistically speaking for awhile but this coupled w/Cole’s last start puts him way out in front for the Cy.

omar little, Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:44 (five years ago) link

Third guy (Addie Joss, Tim Lincecum) to no-hit the same team twice.

clemenza, Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:46 (five years ago) link

Jays announcers started running down no-hitters the Jays had broken up in the 9th, and they reminded me of something I'd forgotten: Nelson Liriano tripled off Ryan to break one up, and Ryan screamed at him the whole way to third.

clemenza, Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:48 (five years ago) link

I think he was already first-ballot, Karl.

clemenza, Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:53 (five years ago) link

Please Astros acquire and fix Felix.

Van Horn Street, Sunday, 1 September 2019 20:06 (five years ago) link

If Verlander had retired this morning, here's how he'd stack up against Halladay:

V: 220-128, 3.35, 2943 IP, 2949 K, 128 ERA+, 3.43 FIP, 1.140 WHIP, 69.6 WAR
H: 203-105, 3.38, 2749 IP, 2117 K, 131 ERA+, 3.39 FIP, 1.178 WHIP, 65.4 WAR

Very close, but with Halladay drawing 85% support his first year on the ballot, I can't see where Verlander wouldn't do as well or better.

clemenza, Sunday, 1 September 2019 20:15 (five years ago) link

Please Astros acquire and fix Johan.

Van Horn Street, Sunday, 1 September 2019 20:18 (five years ago) link

I should have added K/BB to that comparison above. Slight edge to Halladay, 3.58 to 3.50. These guys are really close.
