A Thread For Starting Pitchers That Are Doing Really Well

NO-HITTERED

Really happy for Rodon.

At this pace we are going to have 30 no hitters this season.

Congrats Rodon
now let's move the mound back ;)

weird game, by my count 3 whiffs in the first 4 innings, 16 whiffs in the last 5

so happy for rodon; still pissed about what his coach at nc state did to him

Could you fill a guy in?I haven’t heard about this.

basically they drove him into the ground for their own benefit, e.g. making him throw 134 pitches on short rest, from which his injury history may or may not stem

Jorge Lopez has struck out 8 in 4 no-hit innings, I know that's not that far but I'm not gonna have that many chances to say an Orioles starting pitcher is doing really well

Sorry, that was my fault (still a pretty decent start and gave the Orioles a good chance to win

)

(it's fine

tbh)

Because of a doubleheader, it’s only going to go 7 innings and thus can’t count as one. But through 5 Matz has only walked two.

Well... it wasn’t gonna be official anyways.

if it’s long enough to count as a game it’s long enough to count as a no-hitter imo

i was going to, in the official record books in my mind.

if a pitcher throws 9 hitless innings and allows a hit in the 10th it’s not a no-hitter, so it follows that a complete-game 7-inning no-hitter IS a no-hitter

Give Madison Bumgarner a No-Hitter

I will if he can no hit the first two innings of his next game.

i just assumed this thread was up so we could all sing the praises of john means.

i don't think girardi realizes zack wheeler allowed a hit cause he threw him out there for the 9th at 107 pitches

john means (business) through 8

his only baserunner came on a strikeout with a passed ball.

Tuning in for the 9th. How did he get so good? I never thought of him as anything better than a #3 ish pitcher.

nice. 26/27 first-pitch strikes, game score 99

I hope eephus was watching

damn – 52 years since the O's had a 9-inning no hitter! (Palmer obviously)

I missed it!!! But it doesn't matter, my joy is pure.

i saw him pitch at high a few years back and was totally unimpressed, but something clicked for him the following season.

anyways, a 99 gamescore is...pretty good. current rWAR for means is 2.3!

Back in AA, there has been a Hunter Greene sighting. Dude threw 71 pitches and 37 were over 100+ mph. Supposedly the most in the statcast whatever radar era.

Good luck elbow.

Oh probably no doubt there...Dr. Kremchek is going to add a deck on his house on that one.

wade miley's turn

ok that one's in the books now it's sean manaea's turn

This is nuts. Clevelanders twice in a month.

Has there been no hitters this close before?

i'm super happy for wade miley but this is a sign of things gone wrong

(xpost) Dave Stewart (against the Jays) and Fernando both threw one on June 29, 1990.

No posts about Spencer Turnbull's no-hitter? I guess no-hitters are becoming routine these days!

Was drifting off before the first pitch.

Turnbull?!

Trivia:

Kyle Seager has been in the winning team of a no hitter 4 times, including a perfecto. He also has been on the losing side of 5 no-hitters... including a perfect game. That’s the highest total of no-hitters participation in history. Five of those have been at home: combined, Hernandez, Iwakuma, Means and Turnbull (T-Mobile Park is ridiculous). Of note that of the remaining four, one was in Canada, the other in Mexico.

a no hitter in Mexico?

Yeah the combined no-hitter by the Dodgers vs the Padres in Monterrey.

DOWN IN MONTEREY

lol good for him

texas cleveland and seattle have all been no-hit twice so far

Thanks for the heads-up; caught the 9th.

You don’t need one, it’s every day now.
