A Thread For Starting Pitchers That Are Doing Really Well

)

(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.

Today's No-Hitter of the Day.

it was cool that it was a good pitcher this time!

god, the no-hitters by good pitchers...those are just the best

Everyone gets a no hitter this year.

must have been bittersweet to come against his former team (for whom he pitched one inning)

is that right? lol

i gotta say, i haven't watched kluber pitch in a long time, and god DAMN is he boring. like when they show his face, i mean

he's just like, welp, driving in the middle of the lane here

Just realized that Cleveland, Seattle, and Texas have all been no-hit twice this year, so perhaps they should get a new hitting coach/approach.

Why is this happening?
