A Thread For Starting Pitchers That Are Doing Really Well

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?

it goes back to a lack of faith in god, this is punishment

especially on the part of the people in cleveland, seattle, and all of texas. repent, sinners!!

on the other hand, this may be the work of prayer warriors, on the pitchers' side. or against the batters, depending on the prayer.

please, god, please let me defeat joey gallo in spiritual and baseball battle tonight

who did joey gallo sleep with? why did god punish him with no hits tonight? was he lusting after a bathsheba in his mind as he struck out? and did he strike out? and where is that boxscore, anyway

the (slightly) deadened ball may have something to do with it. that about the weather? has it been cooler than usual in these places?
