He just made Longoria, Zobrist, and Pena look like fools.

Wow! Struck out the side in the eighth.

This is what he has to face in the ninth: .228/.331/.309, .245/.312/.340, .207/.272/.321.

Sean Rodriguez strikes me as a bunt candidate.

From a week ago:

The big finish:
"One thing Félix Hernández has never done? Pitched a no-hitter. But the way things are going, that now seems just a matter of time."

That's the thing I hate about the score being 1-0--he can justifiably do that, doubly so playing for a team in a pennant race. 5-0, he wouldn't think of it. (xpost)

Awesome. Could not believe those two breaking balls on 2-0 to the last hitter.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 22:03 (eleven years ago) link
Yes!
(and what is it with TB and getting no-hit or almost no-hit)?
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 22:08 (eleven years ago) link
When the eighth-place hitter grounded to short, it occurred to me that had that been me, I'd have calmly thrown it 30 feet over the first baseman's head.

i like how postgame he was like "yeah i was thinking about it in like the third inning"

I was looking at the list of perfect games:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_game
Of the 21 post-1900, Felix's was the sixth 1-0 score; four have been 2-0. Obvious, but no long waits between innings is an advantage. Also, six of the 21 have come in the last three years now. Based on what I know of probability, 15 in 109 years followed by 6 in three years doesn't compute. I assume the biggest factor is the increase in batters striking out.

6 in last 3 years is kinda odd, eh?
― bnw, Thursday, 16 August 2012 00:41 (eleven years ago) link
replace the mound with a trench, I say.

jeremy guthrie has a one-hitter through seven, but the hit was pretty iffy, could easily have been an error
― mookieproof, Sunday, 19 August 2012 19:58 (eleven years ago) link
gave up two legit singles with two outs in the eighth, then two runs score on a hosmer error lol

Infante just made an incredible play to finish the sixth.
Not ready to take this seriously just yet. (Might not be able to take it seriously if it HAPPENS. Look at the lineup.)
― Andy K, Saturday, 15 September 2012 21:53 (eleven years ago) link
i wish i could watch it. even though i'm paying $100+ for MLB.tv, this is yet another game that is blacked out because it's on TV (which I don't have)
sigh

the marlins announcer had more enthusiasm when roy halladay threw a no hitter

Rolen looks like the player-manager-uncle on that team.
