Man I sure picked the right meaningless Royals game to go to. Never thought I'd see a no-hitter.
― govern yourself accordingly, Tuesday, 20 May 2008 01:42 (fifteen years ago) link
well they are often worse pitched than some one or two hit games.
― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 20 May 2008 15:07 (fifteen years ago) link
well, you know, it takes a tremendous amount of luck to achieve a one or two hitter.
― j.q higgins, Tuesday, 20 May 2008 15:28 (fifteen years ago) link
they are often worse pitched than three or four hitters.

anyone see WGN rerun the 9th of Jim Maloney's no hitter vs the Cubs in '65, a few weeks ago during a rain delay? The guy walked TEN and threw something like 190 pitches!

Back then, you didn't know whether you'd HAVE your throwing arm the next day -- lost to the combine out on the back forty, or combat, or what have you. You just threw like hell, left everything out there on the mound.

I once left my watch out on the mound, but that was not on purpose.

daniel cabrera, the consecutive reigning AL walks champion, pitched his third game WITHOUT issuing a walk this season last night. his three-peat is in peril as he has now tumbled out of the top ten on the heels of his 8th straight quality start.

Following Daver's stinging rebukes, I'd like to known if it's now OK to say that Lester pitched a NH.

Crazy. 8th game in the majors, never went more than 6, no hitter for Ronel Blanco.
Talking heads are saying he’s been using a change up that he learned in spring training this off season.

Who's Bailey Falter of Pittsburgh? He's no-hitting the extremely offensively potent Orioles in the 6th.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 6 April 2024 21:27 (one month ago) link
well, he gave up a double. but if you're only gonna strike out one through six, you have to be incredibly lucky

Blanco carried another no-no into the 5th this time. Like 14 no hit innings before the streak came to an end

Roberts calls it as 14Ks, 1H, 0BBs, 7ip at 88 pitches. Woulda been cool to be irresponsible and let him go out and try break his strikeout record, but responsibility wins out

Corbin Burnes hasn't flirted with a no-hitter but he has certainly given the Orioles exactly what they hoped to get from him.

Poor guy--they left him in there for 11 hits, a walk, and nine runs?! I know it's helpful for your starter to get out of the first inning, but hasn't anybody on the Astros seen On the Waterfront? "This ain't your night, kid..."

Not a no-hitter or a near one, but props to Albert Suarez, who has not pitched in the majors in more than six years and gave the Orioles 5 2/3 shutout innings today, 3 hits, no walks, 4 strikeouts.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 17 April 2024 22:21 (three weeks ago) link
xp ty! some research suggests that's good spin but not the toppity top. asked cuz his spin seemed noticeably faster on slo mo than other pitchers i've seen, but maybe that's an effect of how fast/slow the slo-mo is.
fingers crossed he doesn't end up in the pulled pork thread. he was clocking 100.
