A Thread For Starting Pitchers That Are Doing Really Well

ex-pirate joe musgrove through 8

Congratulations San Diego!

YESSSSSSS! First one!

Only watched the last 6 outs but boy it was fun.

NL West teams are loving this new Arlington ballpark.

I know no-hitters are sorta dumb achievements but the way they unfold is pure narrative delight.

Vic Caratini has now caught both of the two most recent no hitters

I had no idea the Pads had never had one before.

Clay Kirby is dead but happy.

North Texas softball pitcher Hope Trautwein strikes out all 21 batters in perfect game

rodon through 7

Love Rodon and glad he is making a comeback. That slider was beautiful.

every BIP is a heart attack with this defense ffs

I see the slider is still art.

Francona put two lefty hitters into the game, such a sweetie
Rodon thru 8

There was a season where Rodon had the second most valuable slider after Kershaw.

holy crap @ Abreu getting to the bag there!

wau abreu

Can't believe they reviewed it

slider too good :(

that was a mile inside but

Luplow is shook

sox fans are so lucky with stone/benetti

After decades of Hawk, they deserve it.

I do think it's the best commenting duo.

NO-HITTERED

Really happy for Rodon.

At this pace we are going to have 30 no hitters this season.

Congrats Rodon
now let's move the mound back ;)

weird game, by my count 3 whiffs in the first 4 innings, 16 whiffs in the last 5

so happy for rodon; still pissed about what his coach at nc state did to him

Could you fill a guy in?I haven’t heard about this.

basically they drove him into the ground for their own benefit, e.g. making him throw 134 pitches on short rest, from which his injury history may or may not stem

Jorge Lopez has struck out 8 in 4 no-hit innings, I know that's not that far but I'm not gonna have that many chances to say an Orioles starting pitcher is doing really well

Sorry, that was my fault (still a pretty decent start and gave the Orioles a good chance to win

)

(it's fine

tbh)

Because of a doubleheader, it’s only going to go 7 innings and thus can’t count as one. But through 5 Matz has only walked two.

Well... it wasn’t gonna be official anyways.

if it’s long enough to count as a game it’s long enough to count as a no-hitter imo

i was going to, in the official record books in my mind.

if a pitcher throws 9 hitless innings and allows a hit in the 10th it’s not a no-hitter, so it follows that a complete-game 7-inning no-hitter IS a no-hitter

Give Madison Bumgarner a No-Hitter

I will if he can no hit the first two innings of his next game.

i just assumed this thread was up so we could all sing the praises of john means.

i don't think girardi realizes zack wheeler allowed a hit cause he threw him out there for the 9th at 107 pitches

john means (business) through 8

his only baserunner came on a strikeout with a passed ball.

Tuning in for the 9th. How did he get so good? I never thought of him as anything better than a #3 ish pitcher.

nice. 26/27 first-pitch strikes, game score 99

I hope eephus was watching

damn – 52 years since the O's had a 9-inning no hitter! (Palmer obviously)
