A Thread For Starting Pitchers That Are Doing Really Well

souza shd make the postseason roster based on just that

hilariously that'll probably give Zimmermann a well deserved Cy Young nomination

Crazy ending. And Henderson Alvarez took the loss, one year after pitching a no-hitter himself on the last day of the season!

kind of an invisible no-hitter, given all the other events. i like it.

trevor bauer, 0 hits and 5 walks through 6 innings

111 pitches already

and out.

@MLBastian
Per B-R, Bauer is 1st pitcher since at least 1914 to K at least 11 in no more than 6 IP, allowing no hits in the process.

astros, tho

this is my favourite ILB-related bookmark to see pop up

7th inning reliever seems to have allowed a walk, added 2 more strikes...

through 8!

jed lowrie says no

jeez, party foul jed lowrie

~kluber~

fangraphs 'live' stats says that kluber's fip tonight was -0.97, which i didn't realize was possible

shelby miller through six, 63 pitches

Through 7, 73 pitches.

He has been a treat to watch all season.

8 IP/80 pitches/won't have to face Stanton or Ichiro in the 9th

the most exciting thing about this for me wd be an ohfer for Hechavarria

...who is leading off right now

BOUR

rude

did we really want aj pierzynski having caught three no-hitters tho

Ah well, 2 Madduxes in 3 starts is pretty good.

david price struck out seven straight batters, but then it ended ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Chris (Chuck) Heston thru 6 vs Mets

thru 7

last rookie to do a card trick?

can't believe you're wasting precious keystrokes on something so trivial

Joe Panik is fucking slaughtering my HACKING MASS team, that's what's important.

thru 8

last rook was Buchholz in 2007

Mets haven't been 0-hit since Darryl Kile in '93

was listening on the bus and will be able to see last inning.

lol that called strike to granderson

98 game score

@JeffPassan
Only five times before have pitchers thrown a no-hitter with no walks and plunked even one batter: Burdette, Horlen, Singer, Forsch, Brown.

@JeffPassan
Never before Chris Heston had anyone thrown a no-hitter with more than two HBP. Virgil Trucks and Bo Belinsky each hit a pair apiece.

the helping hand of no-hitters

Pineda through 6

nm

scherzer perfect through five, 55 pitches

seven, 78

Whoa, close.

lol damn

oopsie

What a cheap HBP...anyway, I wonder if that's the closest anyone's come since Vander Meer. And I'm quite sure Scherzer was more dominant than Vander Meer.

wau scherzer, wish I'd had enough presence of mind to start when I got the perfect through 6 at bat notification

*start watching

No surprise, not even remotely close, even allowing for strikeout inflation:

Scherzer -- 18 IP, 1 hit, 26 K, 0 BB, 1 HBP
Vander Meer -- 18 IP, 0 hits, 11 K, 11 BB, 0 HBP

best consecutive starts of all time m/l
