Brian Kenny really does sound like a piece of work...Why aren't there any headlines this morning about Zack Greinke having thrown the 19,753rd Very Well Pitched Game in History?

I like how you get the Kate Upton ad on Gameday between innings. (If it were someone other than Verlander pitching, I'd say "I like how you get the Kate Upton ad on Gameday between innings.")

because it wasn't MAGICAL
(like having good gloves in the right places kinda magic)

The media and fans are forever falling for that whole magic thing. Thompson, Mazeroski, and Carter hit well-timed home runs and everybody makes a big deal about it.

:p
If those Sandoval and Pence plays don't make it clear that a team getting no hits is almost always the doing of the fielders...
― playwright Greg Marlowe, secretly in love with Mary (Dr Morbius), Monday, 15 July 2013 01:18 (ten years ago) link
No hitters are still rare and fun. It's kind of cool that Sandoval and Pence can share in it.
― timellison, Monday, 15 July 2013 02:41 (ten years ago) link
oh god, if Bedard no-hits the Mariners...
However it does seem possible that he could do it and still lose the game.
― JoeStork, Sunday, 21 July 2013 01:00 (ten years ago) link
Ms have four runs and one hit.

this one game really epitomizes erik bedard's career

erik bedard was released by the pirates a year ago. that is not something that has happened to too many decent players in living memory

okay it's aj, and both he and yu started walking off after ball three, and you ~can't argue balls and strikes~, but aj was headed toward the mound and kulpa went after him
come on, blue

JJ Hoover has been a witch out of the bullpen for the Reds for the past couple months.
I kinda like the Reds pitching if they get to the playoffs with their top starters and the bullpen as is, especially considering Cingrani will be a nasty additional arm to have in the pen (most likely).

Yusmeiro Petit (who truthfully I'd never heard of) through 8--doing exceptionally well.
― clemenza, Saturday, 7 September 2013 04:18 (ten years ago) link
how many pitchers have pitched this exceptionally well in a game out of the stretch?

oh man you have to catch that
― k3vin k., Saturday, 7 September 2013 04:27 (ten years ago) link
like you are not making the playoffs anyway, you dive for that and if it gets by you for three bases so be it

Could that possibly be more heartbreaking? Umpire was all over the place--squeezed him on a couple of pitches, gave him two, and I swear that was a 2-2 on Chavez.
― clemenza, Saturday, 7 September 2013 04:29 (ten years ago) link
2-2 strike, that should say.
i remember yusmeiro petit! he used to be a pretty big prospect iirc. his other starts this year have also looked quite pretty

I want to see that 2-2 pitch again--sure looked good last night.
― clemenza, Saturday, 7 September 2013 12:33 (ten years ago) link
You can see the 2-2 pitch around 1:40 of this clip:
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130907&content_id=59829800&vkey=news_sf&c_id=sf
Okay, it was a ball--so close. The umpire could have given it to him...great job by Chavez in holding up.
― clemenza, Saturday, 7 September 2013 12:57 (ten years ago) link
yeah i thought the 2-2 pitch was a ball, but the opening pitch if i remember looked like it could have gone either way - he started the last batter off at 2-0 iirc
