WTF does Michael Kay have a posse of no-fun dingos?

David R., Wednesday, 20 August 2008 02:15 (seventeen years ago)

ricky nolasco just finished off a complete game 2-hit shutout w/ 11 strikeouts (i think), breaking the marlins MLB record for highest number of games a franchise has ever gone w/o a complete game: 301 (i think)

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 August 2008 05:04 (seventeen years ago)

I was at that game...Nolasco on FIYAH.

Rock Hardy, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 06:03 (seventeen years ago)

were people in the crowd making a big deal that up until the 9th, it looked like he might pitch a 1 hitter with the 1 hit being that obvious error by jacobs that was called a hit by the home scorekeeper

they were making mention of it every 3 minutes on tv, but i was the watching marlins broadcast

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 August 2008 06:10 (seventeen years ago)

Nobody around me was, but I was sure thinking about it.

Rock Hardy, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 06:20 (seventeen years ago)

Carlos Zambrano is pitching really well in his first game back from the DL.

mattbot, Monday, 15 September 2008 02:06 (seventeen years ago)

In Miller park even. No hits through 8 and 99 pitches.:)

felicity, Monday, 15 September 2008 16:52 (seventeen years ago)

It's early, but Ted Lilly is pitching pretty well today, too.

mattbot, Monday, 15 September 2008 19:20 (seventeen years ago)

no-hitter through five

mookieproof, Monday, 15 September 2008 19:44 (seventeen years ago)

Dr Morbius, Monday, 15 September 2008 20:03 (seventeen years ago)

johnny crunch, Saturday, 27 September 2008 21:28 (seventeen years ago)

No hitter?

Leee, Saturday, 27 September 2008 22:07 (seventeen years ago)

kirkjian must have loved that shit. broken up by the same numbered player in the same inning

johnny crunch, Saturday, 27 September 2008 22:24 (seventeen years ago)

He hasn't been pitching that great all year but Maddux passed up Clemens on the all-time wins list at #8.

mayor jingleberries, Sunday, 28 September 2008 05:10 (seventeen years ago)

hmm

haha actually broken up w/in seconds of my post

johnny crunch, Sunday, 7 June 2009 00:58 (seventeen years ago)

Most wins in the NL - Jason Marquis of the Colorado Rockies.

Mark C, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 16:37 (sixteen years ago)

pitcher wins mean zip

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 17:01 (sixteen years ago)

BRING THE SUSTAINABLE BABIP OR DON'T BRING IT AT ALL

Theriot Killa (Andy K), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 17:17 (sixteen years ago)

pitcher wins mean zip

He also leads the Rockies in IP and WHIP, and is top 50 in MLB in ERA among starters. Better than Beckett, Hamels, Oswalt, Young, Pettite...

Probably can't sustain it (39 strikeouts in 81 innings!), but a lot better than you'd expect to get out of a guy like that. Livan-esque!

Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 17:32 (sixteen years ago)

Marquis wins make up about 1/3 of the teams total which is pretty bitchin.

mayor jingleberries, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 18:09 (sixteen years ago)

Morbs pwned. Thanx guys.

Mark C, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 17:29 (sixteen years ago)

wins still don't add anything to your "argument"

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 17:32 (sixteen years ago)

Wins aren't completely meaningless ... they're just not as meaningful as other measures. How often would you find that a 5-15 pitcher is having a better statistical year than a 15-5 pitcher? 1 out of 100? Less than that?

Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 17:37 (sixteen years ago)

by pitcher VORP, Marquis is 29th in the NL, 7 places behind his teammate Ubaldo Jimenez, who gives up homers about a third as often. Marquis' strikeout total of 4.3/9 IP also suggests he's been lucky, as does his .276 BABIP versus .333 for Jimenez.

Also, this is a thread for in-progress no-hitters.

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 17:43 (sixteen years ago)

^^well, no no-hitters this year, now

collardio greenous (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 17:45 (sixteen years ago)

:-(

i thought this was a thread for pitchers that are doing really well, like in general

let free dom ring (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 17:59 (sixteen years ago)

i thought this was a thread for pitchers that are doing really well, like in scrabble.

The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 18:01 (sixteen years ago)

or perhaps poker.

The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 18:01 (sixteen years ago)

baseball has a tradition of dancing around directly mentioning a no-hitter in progress, so as not to jinx it. so we just post here when a pitcher is doing "really well" in a particular game, as a heads-up.

gangsta hug (omar little), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 18:02 (sixteen years ago)

or when a pitcher is doing really well on a date, like if i see chad billingsley at a bar in l.a. scoring with some hot chick, i'll come back here and report on that.

gangsta hug (omar little), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 18:03 (sixteen years ago)

If superstition about talking about no-hitters extends to random losers on the internet, no one will ever pitch a no-hitter ever again.

congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 18:04 (sixteen years ago)
