jeez, fuck no-hitters, down goes one of yr offensive surprises of the season.
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 2 June 2012 01:01 (eleven years ago) link
it's weird, he was holding his wrist? but he hit shoulder first, i thought? i thought at first that he just had the wind knocked out of him. skip "why am i still paid to play professional baseball" schumaker does that at least once per season, where he lays on the ground for a few minutes, limps off the field, and then later that night it's reported that he's fine.

he did earlier in the game, but the umpire blew the call

Don't think I've ever seen a crowd cheer for a hitter who just took strike three.

That was great, but, as much as I hate to say it, I've watched that replay three times...I guess he's not close to the first guy to catch a break. It'll be forgotten, and yeah, he's come through a lot.
― clemenza, Saturday, 2 June 2012 01:53 (eleven years ago) link
Wasn't one of Halladay's a total gift?
Of course I'm going to tomorrow's game.
134 pitches. He had better finish the season.

@Kevin_GoldsteinI was on a draft call and missed the no-hit party. Any Debbie Downers complain about the pitch count?

yeah, KG likes human umpires too, he's not right all the time.

Can I find Santana's game scores for the last few seasons anywhere? I'm thinking this game wasn't among his top 5 Mets starts.
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Monday, 4 June 2012 03:52 (eleven years ago) link
http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.cgi?id=santajo02&t=p&year=2012and from there to season by season gamelogs for previous years. The no-hitter was a 90, his best as a Met.
― Trey Imaginary Songz (WmC), Monday, 4 June 2012 04:06 (eleven years ago) link
Thanks. Yeah, just barely -- he had an 88, two 87s (including the next-to-last game of '08), and an 86.
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Monday, 4 June 2012 04:13 (eleven years ago) link
86 being his last start!

High Heat Stats had a pretty detailed breakdown of that and other stuff pertaining to the no-hitter:

― clemenza, Monday, 4 June 2012 11:50 (eleven years ago) link
43rd-highest Game Score for a Mets starting pitcher is illuminating.
Also, Rob Gardner (???) going 15 innings in '65!
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Monday, 4 June 2012 14:25 (eleven years ago) link
also, at Saturday's BP event at Citi Field, they had this guy from Bloomberg Sports on the panel, who just last week evaluated the chances of the Mets having such a no-hitter drought as 0.32%:

A couple of days after the no-hitter, a guy at Slate responded to the Bloomberg piece:
