A Thread For Starting Pitchers That Are Doing Really Well

Austin Gomber (!) of the Cards thru 6

reasonable # pitches too

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

lol, the fire alarms, flashing sirens and lights, are going off throughout great american ballpark

welp, someone is getting fired

looooooooool

where is your god now, people who believed in god

The Braves pitcher is two outs away.

(And under 100 pitches.)

Damn--two outs, 2-2 count, Chris Taylor singles.

It was Sean Newcomb, by the way.

I was, um, a little off on the pitch count (that was his Game Score)--he was over 130 pitches.

aaaand Newcomb has teenage tweets

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.)

never mind

The best way to break up a no-hitter is to post here.

López of the KC Royals perfect through 6 2/3.

I was going to preface my post with "Guaranteed to kill it, but..."

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

aw raspberries.

blake snell through six, 82 pitches

welp

jose ramirez has no respect

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.

it is a shutout

81-pitch complete game shutout

only 3 Ks

Lot of good D in the outfield today.

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

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.

Castro HR, it will never happen for the Padres.

sale has 12 strikeouts through five (89 pitches tho)

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

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

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

Welp, well now he gets to pitch a Maddux.

tsk, slept on Astros' latest combined 0-hitter

Keith Hernandez said they "don't tickle my fancy"

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.

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.

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

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.

here we go.

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