I guess that's about as inelegant as no-hitters get...I salute him, anyway (when he tries to salute back, he won't be able to lift his arm).

This thread has probably outlived its usefulness--like Keith, I couldn't care less unless it's a CG. (Two guys combining for four home runs doesn't thrill me either.) Anyway, a game I'm watching, Verlander's through five: 73 pitches, 8 strikeouts.

Opener/bulk/middle guy also pitching extremely well for the Jays--one hit.

Buck just called this "a good old-fashioned pitchers' duel." Kind of, sort of.
― clemenza, Sunday, 1 September 2019 18:35 (four years ago) link
Through 7, 93 pitches. He may not get it, but I think he has enough to finish. Haven't seen a clear replay, but he might have gotten a call on a full-count pitch to Biggio.
― clemenza, Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:03 (four years ago) link
Kind of looking like he will get 9 no hit innings but the game will go into extras in a 0-0 tie.
― Michael F Gill, Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:15 (four years ago) link
Struck out the side in the 8th--106 pitches. Getting all the close calls right now. 13 K, game score of 94 (if I've calculated right). Yeah...I hope the Astros score here.

he has the lead, 2-0 in the bottom of the ninth, one down

Phenomenal. I've caught the last few batters of lots of no-hitters/perfect games online, but (the nothingness of the game aside) that's probably the greatest pitched game I've ever seen where I watched almost the whole thing. He got a couple of close strikes, but I don't think there was anything close to a close play the whole game. I think he hit 100 for game score. I hope such games don't become permanently extinct.
― clemenza, Sunday, 1 September 2019 19:43 (four years ago) link
JV and Cole had been very close statistically speaking for awhile but this coupled w/Cole’s last start puts him way out in front for the Cy.

Third guy (Addie Joss, Tim Lincecum) to no-hit the same team twice.

Jays announcers started running down no-hitters the Jays had broken up in the 9th, and they reminded me of something I'd forgotten: Nelson Liriano tripled off Ryan to break one up, and Ryan screamed at him the whole way to third.

If Verlander had retired this morning, here's how he'd stack up against Halladay:
V: 220-128, 3.35, 2943 IP, 2949 K, 128 ERA+, 3.43 FIP, 1.140 WHIP, 69.6 WARH: 203-105, 3.38, 2749 IP, 2117 K, 131 ERA+, 3.39 FIP, 1.178 WHIP, 65.4 WAR
Very close, but with Halladay drawing 85% support his first year on the ballot, I can't see where Verlander wouldn't do as well or better.

Please Astros acquire and fix Johan.
― Van Horn Street, Sunday, 1 September 2019 20:18 (four years ago) link
I should have added K/BB to that comparison above. Slight edge to Halladay, 3.58 to 3.50. These guys are really close.

That was the 15th nine-inning Game Score of 100+.

Impressive list. Brandon Morrow's the only guy on there without much distinction. Cain and Wood derailed by injuries, Gerrit Cole, and eight guys who are in the HOF or should/will be.

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/justin-verlander-earned-that-no-hitter/
All no-hitters are impressive, as navigating an entire game without allowing a hit is a feat unto itself and generally comes with an excellent defensive performance combined with a great outing from the pitcher. Verlander’s no-hitter is one of the most impressive in recent history due to how little he relied on his teammates to complete the task.
