A Thread For Starting Pitchers That Are Doing Really Well

Living on the edge

Zac Gallen. (Announcer has no sense of decorum.)

Always sucks when such a great run of innings turns into being down 1-0

LOSS - Z. Gallen

Not only have the Astros scored 10 runs so far, Blanco has also only given up one walk through 8

Crazy. 8th game in the majors, never went more than 6, no hitter for Ronel Blanco.

Talking heads are saying he’s been using a change up that he learned in spring training this off season.

Who's Bailey Falter of Pittsburgh? He's no-hitting the extremely offensively potent Orioles in the 6th.

well, he gave up a double. but if you're only gonna strike out one through six, you have to be incredibly lucky

I guess he finally... faltered

Blanco carried another no-no into the 5th this time. Like 14 no hit innings before the streak came to an end

Glasnow 10Ks, 1H, 0BBs through 5ip with 61 pitches

Roberts calls it as 14Ks, 1H, 0BBs, 7ip at 88 pitches. Woulda been cool to be irresponsible and let him go out and try break his strikeout record, but responsibility wins out

3hits sorry

Corbin Burnes hasn't flirted with a no-hitter but he has certainly given the Orioles exactly what they hoped to get from him.

Yeah it's been good to see him immediately contribute to the team

Hunter Brown in KC rn... do not jinx it...

Poor guy--they left him in there for 11 hits, a walk, and nine runs?! I know it's helpful for your starter to get out of the first inning, but hasn't anybody on the Astros seen On the Waterfront? "This ain't your night, kid..."

jared jones - what's his spin rate?

Not a no-hitter or a near one, but props to Albert Suarez, who has not pitched in the majors in more than six years and gave the Orioles 5 2/3 shutout innings today, 3 hits, no walks, 4 strikeouts.

xp ty! some research suggests that's good spin but not the toppity top. asked cuz his spin seemed noticeably faster on slo mo than other pitchers i've seen, but maybe that's an effect of how fast/slow the slo-mo is.

fingers crossed he doesn't end up in the pulled pork thread. he was clocking 100.

Tanner Houck just threw a 94 pitch cgso with three hits and 9 Ks. Looked like a right handed Chris Sale. Game time: 1.49.

Shortest nine-inning game since 2010.

zack wheeler is through seven but has already thrown 101 pitches

also it's against the white sox, so does it really count

Jesus, that lineup: .170/.120/.235/.153/.157/.256/.208/.250/.161. Naturally, it was one of the two big-bat .250 guys who broke it up.

Tyler Glashow just went 8ip, 0er. The most impressive part was the Dodgers allowing a starter to hit triple digits IP. A thing of fables in the organisation recently, I forgot it was a physical possibility

Max Fried with a 92-pitch Maddux against the Marlins, 29 batters faced, gametime 1:53. What a pleasure to watch.

8ip, 5K, 1BB, 0ER for Logan Webb. 19 consecutive scoreless innings pitched. Man is killing it

Watching of course

One for pleasure, One for pain

(Just kidding, I really like watching Webb pitch, regardless of his team)

the evil Jesse Plemons looking mfer
