Amazing that he got through the 8th inning on 3 pitches.

Future Guardian Triston McKenzie is perfect through seven (on 85 pitches).

Having a no hitter interrupted by a rain delay has got to be agonizing (Happening now in the Royals/Cubs game)

Michael F Gill, Saturday, 21 August 2021 21:04 (four years ago)

tanner houck hitless through 5

4 walks lol

Tracer Hand, Sunday, 29 August 2021 22:06 (four years ago)

hung a breaking ball for a homer

Tracer Hand, Sunday, 29 August 2021 22:24 (four years ago)

Corbin Burnes headed to the 8th (103 pitches, though).

clemenza, Sunday, 12 September 2021 00:26 (four years ago)

they would be foolish, but

mookieproof, Sunday, 12 September 2021 00:30 (four years ago)

thanks for the heads up! burnes is ridiculous

"HYYOOOOOOONK!" is the sound I make (Karl Malone), Sunday, 12 September 2021 00:31 (four years ago)

through 8 at 114 pitches! :-o

"HYYOOOOOOONK!" is the sound I make (Karl Malone), Sunday, 12 September 2021 00:36 (four years ago)

craig counsell always seems like he's having the worst day of his life, and i imagine he's about to

"HYYOOOOOOONK!" is the sound I make (Karl Malone), Sunday, 12 September 2021 00:36 (four years ago)

115 pitches going into the 9th...Dan Plesac's nephew started for Cleveland; I totally associate his uncle with the Brewers, even though he played for many teams.

Burnes has 14 Ks and a walk; if he got three outs of any kind without a hit or a walk, would that give him a 100 Game Score?

clemenza, Sunday, 12 September 2021 00:38 (four years ago)

burnes is out, only the combined no-hitter is in play, this is a second-rate no-hitter at best, i'm out

"HYYOOOOOOONK!" is the sound I make (Karl Malone), Sunday, 12 September 2021 00:39 (four years ago)

Smart move, I guess. A combined no-hitter holds less than zero interest for me.

clemenza, Sunday, 12 September 2021 00:40 (four years ago)

9/11 will always be remembered as the day corbin burnes threw 8 pretty good innings

, Sunday, 12 September 2021 00:50 (four years ago)

Combined GS of 102...except I don't think you can have a combined GS, right?

clemenza, Sunday, 12 September 2021 00:59 (four years ago)

Would’ve been super cool but like you can’t push your best guy to throw 130 pitches

frogbs, Sunday, 12 September 2021 01:07 (four years ago)

yeah, definitely. maybe a late career guy, or a lesser talent that might be having the best moment of his life or something, but not burnes. he's awesome

"HYYOOOOOOONK!" is the sound I make (Karl Malone), Sunday, 12 September 2021 01:09 (four years ago)

you totally can -- god knows pitchers have done it before -- but yeah not when you're cruising to a division title

mookieproof, Sunday, 12 September 2021 01:11 (four years ago)

gabe kapler would've left him in if he'd already allowed 5 runs

, Sunday, 12 September 2021 01:14 (four years ago)

From the sublime to the ridiculous, Keegan Akin is 4 hours away from a 7-inning no-no

Guayaquil (eephus!), Sunday, 12 September 2021 02:10 (four years ago)

4 outs

Guayaquil (eephus!), Sunday, 12 September 2021 02:10 (four years ago)

now 3 outs

Guayaquil (eephus!), Sunday, 12 September 2021 02:11 (four years ago)

if he does it he will officially be a better pitcher than corbin burnes, who did not do it

, Sunday, 12 September 2021 02:11 (four years ago)

nope, 7-inning no-hitters officially do not count, except in our hearts

Guayaquil (eephus!), Sunday, 12 September 2021 02:13 (four years ago)

**Cy Young is awarded to Burnes**

Burnes: Counsell, are they booing me?
Counsell: no, they were saying Boo-urns
Andrew Wagner: I was saying Boo-urns

frogbs, Sunday, 12 September 2021 02:14 (four years ago)

i thought the combined no-hitter was the least respected form of no-hitter, but the 7 inning version is lower

"HYYOOOOOOONK!" is the sound I make (Karl Malone), Sunday, 12 September 2021 02:15 (four years ago)

fuck off vlad jr

Guayaquil (eephus!), Sunday, 12 September 2021 02:20 (four years ago)

I feel it to be essentially certain the Orioles blow the lead now

Guayaquil (eephus!), Sunday, 12 September 2021 02:21 (four years ago)

LOL

frogbs, Sunday, 12 September 2021 02:28 (four years ago)

still a better pitcher than corbin burnes imo

, Sunday, 12 September 2021 02:29 (four years ago)

Esoteric record...Most runs in an inning that breaks up a no-hitter in the 7th inning or later?

clemenza, Sunday, 12 September 2021 02:40 (four years ago)

11 runs!

clemenza, Sunday, 12 September 2021 02:45 (four years ago)

11 hits in the inning alone

Michael F Gill, Sunday, 12 September 2021 02:52 (four years ago)

I thought the Orioles had used up their capacity to surprise me but they just don't know the word quit

Guayaquil (eephus!), Sunday, 12 September 2021 15:31 (four years ago)

two weeks pass...

Houck perfect through 5 - and then pulled.

Tracer Hand, Saturday, 2 October 2021 21:31 (four years ago)

six months pass...

kershaw perfect through 6 innings, with 12 Ks, 69 pitches

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 18:51 (four years ago)

7!

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Wednesday, 13 April 2022 19:04 (four years ago)

Shoot, guess he’s coming out.

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 19:07 (four years ago)

i kinda assumed they'd pull him anyway, between it's dave roberts and it's 2022 clayton kershaw

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Wednesday, 13 April 2022 19:15 (four years ago)

no pressure, blake treinen, but...YOU MUST BE PERFECT or you're gonna let down dodger nation

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 19:16 (four years ago)

Just finding out about this...6-0 lead, 80 pitches? Well, I'm sure you know what I think.

clemenza, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 19:17 (four years ago)

oh sorry, i guess ales vesia instead

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 19:18 (four years ago)

i'd guess a lot of it has to do with short spring training, too, pitchers not being worked up to 100% yet

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 19:19 (four years ago)

It’s a shame, but very understandable.

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 13 April 2022 19:20 (four years ago)

welp. sorry kid

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 19:20 (four years ago)

that was in response to the hit just now. poor vesia

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 19:21 (four years ago)

Hope the Dodgers lose, or hope they have to burn through four or five pitchers saving the win.

clemenza, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 19:23 (four years ago)

7 IP, 80 pitches, 13 Ks, 0 BBs

20 swinging strikes (!)

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 13 April 2022 19:23 (four years ago)

Well, what can you do against an elite hitter like, *checks notes*, Gary Sanchez
