If it's endangering a career, then yeah, but is it always? Pitchers throw a lot! Maybe there are occasions where they can just take fewer long tosses in the outfield the next day or something. (Not saying this was such an occasion - 116 pitches after seven innings is an awful lot and he's a kid.)
No hitters are awesome.

making his starting debut, no less, the day after Poncedeleon took a no-hitter through 7 in HIS starting debut. I have no idea how to look something like this up but I can't imagine that's ever happened before

The Braves pitcher is two outs away.
― clemenza, Sunday, 29 July 2018 20:16 (five years ago) link
(And under 100 pitches.)
Damn--two outs, 2-2 count, Chris Taylor singles.
It was Sean Newcomb, by the way.
― clemenza, Sunday, 29 July 2018 20:22 (five years ago) link
I was, um, a little off on the pitch count (that was his Game Score)--he was over 130 pitches.

The Jays guy, Pannone, through 6. It's his first major league start! He's thrown 86 pitches, though, so probably won't be out for the 7th. (The Orioles starter, meanwhile, has only given up one hit.)

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

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.

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).

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

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

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.

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

Buck just called this "a good old-fashioned pitchers' duel." Kind of, sort of.
― clemenza, Sunday, 1 September 2019 18:35 (four 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 (four 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 (four 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.
