but Trachsel pitched better! HE GAVE UP HALF AS MANY HITS!
anyone see WGN rerun the 9th of Jim Maloney's no hitter vs the Cubs in '65, a few weeks ago during a rain delay? The guy walked TEN and threw something like 190 pitches!

pretty sure while w/ montreal pedro threw 9 perfect innings & ended up losing

Back then, you didn't know whether you'd HAVE your throwing arm the next day -- lost to the combine out on the back forty, or combat, or what have you. You just threw like hell, left everything out there on the mound.

I once left my watch out on the mound, but that was not on purpose.

daniel cabrera, the consecutive reigning AL walks champion, pitched his third game WITHOUT issuing a walk this season last night. his three-peat is in peril as he has now tumbled out of the top ten on the heels of his 8th straight quality start.

Following Daver's stinging rebukes, I'd like to known if it's now OK to say that Lester pitched a NH.

Honestly, I'm surprised there are still CG no-hitters every now and again. I thought they were pretty much history.
― clemenza, Thursday, 10 August 2023 02:23 (seven months ago) link
Wow I saw his name in the notifications and thought I was going mad misremembering the name of the two-way reliever for the reds like 5 years ago but no! It’s him! Wish.com ohtani? I don’t remember ohtani throwing a no-hitter!
Honestly, just as cool seeing him move from reliever to starter, quite a distinct big-league journey this guy has made. Very very happy for him
― hrep (H.P), Thursday, 10 August 2023 07:05 (seven months ago) link
Just watching the 9th inning now, very sweet to see his family and teams responses. They gave him a very long leash! Good on the manager, love to see it

I had the same thought H.P., I remember him being a very cool player from the Reds but often very cool players don’t pan out. I was also surprised to find out it was that guy, and now that he’s not a Red anymore I can cheer for him so it all works out

Framber Valdez (again) is out there to start the 8th...I don't know: 114 pitches.

Actually, maybe not--a call was overturned and the 7th extended...Will know in a minute.
― clemenza, Saturday, 26 August 2023 00:45 (seven months ago) link
They took him out (which even I agree with).
who *was* the last pitcher with two no-hitters in the same month (or even season)?
― mookieproof, Saturday, 26 August 2023 00:58 (seven months ago) link
Steve Busby had two in the same year, I think, but surely must have been done since.
― clemenza, Saturday, 26 August 2023 00:59 (seven months ago) link
Scherzer’s two in 2015 was the first (and only) time it happened this century
― H.P, Saturday, 26 August 2023 01:00 (seven months ago) link
I was wrong. Busby is the only pitcher to throw no-hitters in his first two seasons; here are two in the same season (article goes back to 2021).
https://www.mlb.com/news/pitchers-with-two-no-hitters-in-the-same-season
― clemenza, Saturday, 26 August 2023 01:01 (seven months ago) link
I was wrong too! Roy Halladay had two in 2010 as well
― H.P, Saturday, 26 August 2023 01:02 (seven months ago) link
How can we forget Johnny Vander Meer’s 1938 seasons where he had two back to back no hitters (very impressive)
― H.P, Saturday, 26 August 2023 01:04 (seven months ago) link
I figured Steve Busby would be excellent Immaculate Grid Fodder. No--eight seasons, all with K.C. (And, if you could check the pitch count on those two no-hitters, quite possibly a good example of why that's not a good idea.)
Busby subsequently became the first baseball player to undergo rotator cuff surgery. In an effort to help his arm recover from the surgery, his doctor recommended that Busby be placed on a pitch count. He is often believed to be the first baseball player to be placed on a pitch count, something that Busby has stated is a myth. Before his injury, he is alleged to have thrown close to 200 pitches in a game, which Busby also says is untrue.
