A Thread For Starting Pitchers That Are Doing Really Well

And he carried it through the seventh
But he died along the way
Someone else took over
Just like yesterday

Someone else honked over
Just like boboday

Orioles rookie Kyle Bradish has pitched 7 complete, 11 strikeouts and hasn't walked anybody. Only runs he allowed were on a weird inside-the-park HR that Mullins kicked in the outfield.

some called it weird; i called it fate

verlander's through 7 with no hits btw

Reid Detmers completes the no-hitter for the Angels, throwing 106 pitches and surrendering one walk

Man I didn't expect that Bradish's gem was going to be at best the third-best start in the American League tonight

Yeah, Jfc!

I was only half-following online, but I think the Jays' Kikuchi had no-hit the Yankees through five innings last night...wasted again.

Mikolas broken up on the last out and 129th pitch

A thread for spoilers who are doing well

Wow. That is the ONE cardinals game I’ve missed watching this year. Including spring training.

cristian javier is through seven in the bronx but has thrown 115 pitches

& neris + pressley complete it

now for the bombers to lose their next 15 games

40 year old wainwright, practically dead from old age, threw 7.2 hitless tonight, then went through 9 on 3 hits and 1 run. game's still going, tied 1-1 with the brewers in the 10th

Aaron Nola throw a complete game tonight and gave up 1 run but got the loss.

has wainwright yet disavowed his pledge to retire?

as far as i know, he has never said he'd retire! it was kind of an assumption. a one-year deal, molina's last year, he's turning and "his body is changing", he has hair in places where he did not have hair before. but afaik he never pledged retirement. i very much expect him to pitch next year and look forward to it. did not expect him to turn into bob tewksbury at the end of his career but i love it

and, if it's not clear, i am a total jackass for openly wishing for him to retire 3-5 years ago. i thought he was done, i was totally wrong. all hail the christian god

tampa's drew rasmussen is perfect through six on 54 pitches (!)

but he has only thrown more than six once this year

perfect through eight, 78 pitches

only gone to a three-ball count twice, both in the second inning

79 pitches now through 8 innings--that's amazing.

it's been...ten years since the last perfect game?

They're talking about it on the Jays' broadcast right now; Buck Martinez, one of the two announcers, was in the lineup when Len Barker threw his PG against Toronto in '81.

well fuck

well there it goes

did not know rays had these alternate uniforms with a fish on the cap and a ms paint sun on the jersey

beloved ex-ray brett phillips was in line to be the final batter but oh well

I thought for sure I'd set it up so Odor would break it up.

Lost the perfect game, the no-hitter, the Maddux, the shutout, and the CG in about two minutes.

"not if Jorge Mateo has anything to say about it"

Wacha took a no-hitter into the eighth inning against the Royals before surrendering a leadoff single to right field by Michael Massey. That was Wacha’s 103rd and final pitch.

Not live but just finding out about this.

I'd rather that than he gets through the 8th with 120 pitches and they pull him.

Domingo Germán perfect through seven for the Yankees

really?? wow

Oh, it's against Oakland

Now perfect through 8!

Your right, it does take some of the shine off as it's against Oaktown. Still tuned in.

sheesh 0 0 2 is a really embarrassing scoreline. like "nah we didn't hit any balls but we did bungle a few plays on defense"

Lol as they make another error

Yankees can have a position player pitch to close out this perfect game.

Watching Yankees broadcast

Here we go

One

Two

Perfect

Amazing

A Maddux as well

wow would not have guessed the last one was 11 years ago. King Felix!!

Yeah King Felix and Matt Cain were the last ones in 2012 iirc? Good for Germán I guess, now he’ll be remembered for something else besides beating his girlfriend.

one of the better pitched games you’ll see, yes oakland sucks but german really didn’t make any mistakes. all in all it looked relatively easy for him lol
