He retired 27 in a row in one game, how many times has that happened? (Ernie Shore and ... ?)

NoTimeBeforeTime, Saturday, 11 May 2013 08:10 (eleven years ago) link

but he was never "doing really well" ;)

Miller is only the second pitcher in the last 31 seasons to allow the first batter to reach base, then retire every hitter after that for a nine-inning complete-game win, joining John Lackey (2006 Angels against the Oakland Athletics).

ballin' from Maine to Mexico (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 11 May 2013 14:34 (eleven years ago) link

Lester's one-hitter against the Toronto Mud Hens last night had a game score of 90. So Cain (101)/Dickey(95) on June 13 of last year beat Miller (98)/Lester (90) by...8 game scores, or whatever. (They also win in hits allowed, 1-2).

interesting. i'm more curious about why pitching is getting so much better than what it means for defense.

This article explains a lot:

NoTimeBeforeTime, Monday, 13 May 2013 11:34 (eleven years ago) link

I'm not sure if that chart points to the conclusion that pitching's getting better (literally not sure; I don't know). My interpretation is that as defenses get better, hitters have concluded it's better to swing from the heels and go for home runs more deliberately, which drives up both HR and strikeouts, and also drives down balls in play.

clemenza, Monday, 13 May 2013 11:36 (eleven years ago) link

I've just skimmed NoTime's link, will read the whole thing later. HR aren't up, though they've (more or less) stabilized beginning in 2007. Maybe pitching is getting better.

clemenza, Monday, 13 May 2013 12:23 (eleven years ago) link

the BP podcast guys today touched on how being a 10K+ pitcher drastically heightens your no-hit/PG odds, as you would expect -- and there are a lot of them in that category now.

ballin' from Maine to Mexico (Dr Morbius), Monday, 13 May 2013 15:07 (eleven years ago) link

The 1:15 Wednesday afternoon Mets and Reds game, which is a battle of the Mat(t)'s (Latos vs. Harvey) is one that I would love to be able to see if I didn't have to work.

two weeks pass...

julio teheran: no hits, two walks, nine strikeouts through six (79 pitches)

Base hit at 8 and 2/3.

Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 18:45 (eleven years ago) link

Sorry, 7 and 2/3.

Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 18:46 (eleven years ago) link

he's running out of pitches, but matt cain will apparently no-hit the pirates for as long as he lasts

mookieproof, Friday, 14 June 2013 00:21 (eleven years ago) link

matt harvey, 12 k and no hits through six

87 pitches tho

mookieproof, Tuesday, 18 June 2013 19:00 (eleven years ago) link

ballin' from Maine to Mexico (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 18 June 2013 19:02 (eleven years ago) link

(what am I sayin, Duda and Murphy are on the right side)

ballin' from Maine to Mexico (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 18 June 2013 19:03 (eleven years ago) link

heard in the office: 'is matt harvey terry collins' hero?'

mookieproof, Tuesday, 18 June 2013 19:09 (eleven years ago) link

lol duda

mookieproof, Tuesday, 18 June 2013 19:12 (eleven years ago) link

whatd the hit look like?

ballin' from Maine to Mexico (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 18 June 2013 19:18 (eleven years ago) link

Dribbler split the difference between the mound and 1st base, both guys going for it, Heyward outran them.

WilliamC, Tuesday, 18 June 2013 19:20 (eleven years ago) link

swinging bunt toward 1b; harvey retrieves it but duda had charged (and not gotten very close) and there was no one left covering first

it was very mets

mookieproof, Tuesday, 18 June 2013 19:22 (eleven years ago) link

a moment in which ike's laziness might have paid off, tbh

mookieproof, Tuesday, 18 June 2013 19:23 (eleven years ago) link

haha

Good job, EVERYONE.

Andy K, Tuesday, 18 June 2013 19:28 (eleven years ago) link

love the ump's pirouette there.

Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 18 June 2013 19:53 (eleven years ago) link

I think Heyward may have beaten it out even if there was someone besides an umpire covering first, but still a crappy way to go.

homer bailey thru 7, on mlb network
