Nolasco pitched a six-hitter over eight innings for his eighth win as Florida got by Arizona 3-1 on Friday night.
Recommendation: Nolasco (8-4) allowed one earned run and one walk while striking out nine. Nolasco has been outstanding is his last four starts compiling a 3-0 record with a 4:27 BB:K ratio with a 1.82 ERA and .909 WHIP over 29.7 innings.

ricky nolasco just finished off a complete game 2-hit shutout w/ 11 strikeouts (i think), breaking the marlins MLB record for highest number of games a franchise has ever gone w/o a complete game: 301 (i think)

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 August 2008 05:04 (fifteen years ago) link

I was at that game...Nolasco on FIYAH.

Rock Hardy, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 06:03 (fifteen years ago) link

were people in the crowd making a big deal that up until the 9th, it looked like he might pitch a 1 hitter with the 1 hit being that obvious error by jacobs that was called a hit by the home scorekeeper

they were making mention of it every 3 minutes on tv, but i was the watching marlins broadcast

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 August 2008 06:10 (fifteen years ago) link

Nobody around me was, but I was sure thinking about it.

Carlos Zambrano is pitching really well in his first game back from the DL.

mattbot, Monday, 15 September 2008 02:06 (fifteen years ago) link

In Miller park even. No hits through 8 and 99 pitches.:)

It's early, but Ted Lilly is pitching pretty well today, too.

mattbot, Monday, 15 September 2008 19:20 (fifteen years ago) link

kirkjian must have loved that shit. broken up by the same numbered player in the same inning

johnny crunch, Saturday, 27 September 2008 22:24 (fifteen years ago) link

He hasn't been pitching that great all year but Maddux passed up Clemens on the all-time wins list at #8.

Most wins in the NL - Jason Marquis of the Colorado Rockies.

Mark C, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 16:37 (fourteen years ago) link

pitcher wins mean zip

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 17:01 (fourteen years ago) link

BRING THE SUSTAINABLE BABIP OR DON'T BRING IT AT ALL

Theriot Killa (Andy K), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 17:17 (fourteen years ago) link

pitcher wins mean zip

He also leads the Rockies in IP and WHIP, and is top 50 in MLB in ERA among starters. Better than Beckett, Hamels, Oswalt, Young, Pettite...

Probably can't sustain it (39 strikeouts in 81 innings!), but a lot better than you'd expect to get out of a guy like that. Livan-esque!

Marquis wins make up about 1/3 of the teams total which is pretty bitchin.

mayor jingleberries, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 18:09 (fourteen years ago) link

Morbs pwned. Thanx guys.

Mark C, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 17:29 (fourteen years ago) link

wins still don't add anything to your "argument"

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 17:32 (fourteen years ago) link

Wins aren't completely meaningless ... they're just not as meaningful as other measures. How often would you find that a 5-15 pitcher is having a better statistical year than a 15-5 pitcher? 1 out of 100? Less than that?

Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 17:37 (fourteen years ago) link

by pitcher VORP, Marquis is 29th in the NL, 7 places behind his teammate Ubaldo Jimenez, who gives up homers about a third as often. Marquis' strikeout total of 4.3/9 IP also suggests he's been lucky, as does his .276 BABIP versus .333 for Jimenez.

Also, this is a thread for in-progress no-hitters.

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 17:43 (fourteen years ago) link

^^well, no no-hitters this year, now
