A Thread For Starting Pitchers That Are Doing Really Well

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

that's not too impressive, a lot of bad luck involved there.

xp to Andy: MEN whose arms were dead at 31!

so what? all the hitters were either boozed up or hungover. EVEN PLAYING FIELD.

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.

Dana Eveland is pitching very nicely.

i saw andrew miller strike out 9 the other night, but i originally thought it was 13 or so, so i couldn't even imagine seeing 17

joe saunders is 8-1 w/ a 2.31 era right now

JUSTIN DUCHSCHERER

n/m

Cueto through five

Last Play: G. Blanco reached on bunt single to third

>:O

BRETTY MYERS OH MY THRU 6

Oh well

Greg Maddux still has it. He's perfect so far . . .

Ladies and Gentlemen, Bitter Cubsfan

I guess it's all part of what they call . . . gowring up.

you, f, hit the gowrs.

poor form.

was he perfect? i watched a bar fight at the home of the arts in the ukrainian village. never noticed.

felicity thought it would be 'funny' to post that after he'd pitched 1 inning & has now given herself a temp ban, assuming she has any honor left

Greg Maddux still has it. He's perfect so far . . .

I will give him to you for Rich Hill and Matt Murton, whaddayasay.

Haha temp ban = 5 days vacation from ILX.

Todd Wellemeyer is on the verge of 7-1 w/ an era under 3. thank you, kc royals.

DAVE BUSH

The same Dave Bush recently knocked out of the first inning by my ranked-30th-in-offense MLB 2K8 team?

It takes a village. Containing the same person. Doing stuff.

Cranky Toronto fans jinxing the hell out of DB on the BJ thread need not spread their poor sportsmanship here.

i may be cranky but i wish mr bush the best of luck with whatever may or may not be going on.

An Overbay TRIPLE?

i did not see that coming.
nor did i see rios getting a hit with a runner on - when he'd learn to do that?

2007?

Certainly not that lousy Adam Dunn.

the gays love Dave Bush, tho not as much as they love JJ Hardy. (personal observation)

uh, did you mean to spell "jays" there?

I don't know if the Jays lust for Bush

they might, now.

You guys are fast asleep. How could "The Franchise" not be mentioned a single time in this thread since its inception?

MATT GARZA

NEVER MIND

tho a 108-pitch CG w/ 10 Ks and only 2 baserunners (1 solo HR, 1 BB) ain't too shabby

one of the weavers is trailing 1-0 & belongs on this thread

balls, 97 pitches/0 hits = hit the showas!

LOS ANGELES PITCHERS JERED WEAVER AND JOSE ARREDONDO COMBINED FOR AN UNOFFICIAL NO-HITTER.

ah how fondly im reminded of the andy hawkins game

i was at the dodgers/angels game because some dude randomly gave me and my gf tickets at this restaurant 30 min before the game! i was so excited because it was HISTORIC and i kept telling my gf this and she didn't seem to care that much. but it's only the 4th time in MLB history that this has happened!

The Weaver pout was in full effect.

Weaver? Uh-oh, this thread could go "taco" toxic any second now!

Tim Kurkjian pretty much wet himself over this whole thing last night. Ridiculous.

I think it was the fifth time that happened. Anyway we are at Dodger Stadium and John Lackey is doing really well shutting out the Dodgers so far!

Justin Steele, now 15-3 with a 2.69 ERA

dodgers' ryan pepiot is perfect through 6.1 and at 75 pitches

Merrill Kelly.

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..."
