Valdez has completed 8, only 81 pitches.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 2 August 2023 02:12 (eight months ago) link
Did it! (And got to see it on TSN.)
You know what I'm going to say...infinitely more impressive than last year's WS no-hitter. (I couldn't even remember if it was Valdez who contributed five innings or someone else--it was Javier.) Seven strikeouts, one walk, 93 pitches, 65 strikes.
Does the franchise that got caught cheating deserve a no-hitter and the return of Verlander in the same day?

No they don’t. A pox upon them
― hrep (H.P), Wednesday, 2 August 2023 03:08 (eight months ago) link
regardless, 93 pitches (and ya, zero hits) is impressive af

Framber is such a fave, delighted for him

Lorenzen doing well, had picked him up for a minute for fantasy and then dropped him to pick up somebody else... I initially saw it after three innings and thought haha it would serve me right if he "did well" today
― omar little, Thursday, 10 August 2023 00:51 (eight months ago) link
The strike zone got pretty generous at the end there.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Thursday, 10 August 2023 02:09 (eight months ago) link
I'll have you know Lorenzen's OPS as a hitter is .710. We may be looking at the wish.com Ohtani here, folks
― frogbs, Thursday, 10 August 2023 02:15 (eight months ago) link
Honestly, I'm surprised there are still CG no-hitters every now and again. I thought they were pretty much history.
― clemenza, Thursday, 10 August 2023 02:23 (eight months ago) link
Wow I saw his name in the notifications and thought I was going mad misremembering the name of the two-way reliever for the reds like 5 years ago but no! It’s him! Wish.com ohtani? I don’t remember ohtani throwing a no-hitter!
Honestly, just as cool seeing him move from reliever to starter, quite a distinct big-league journey this guy has made. Very very happy for him
― hrep (H.P), Thursday, 10 August 2023 07:05 (eight months ago) link
Just watching the 9th inning now, very sweet to see his family and teams responses. They gave him a very long leash! Good on the manager, love to see it

Another slight against the DH. LET LORENZEN HIT

He was wearing custom cleats made from Vans Old School uppers...

I had the same thought H.P., I remember him being a very cool player from the Reds but often very cool players don’t pan out. I was also surprised to find out it was that guy, and now that he’s not a Red anymore I can cheer for him so it all works out
― frogbs, Thursday, 10 August 2023 15:49 (eight months ago) link
Framber Valdez (again) is out there to start the 8th...I don't know: 114 pitches.
― clemenza, Saturday, 26 August 2023 00:42 (eight months ago) link
not great imo
― mookieproof, Saturday, 26 August 2023 00:43 (eight months ago) link
Actually, maybe not--a call was overturned and the 7th extended...Will know in a minute.
― clemenza, Saturday, 26 August 2023 00:45 (eight months ago) link
They took him out (which even I agree with).
who *was* the last pitcher with two no-hitters in the same month (or even season)?
― mookieproof, Saturday, 26 August 2023 00:58 (eight months ago) link
Steve Busby had two in the same year, I think, but surely must have been done since.
― clemenza, Saturday, 26 August 2023 00:59 (eight months ago) link
Scherzer’s two in 2015 was the first (and only) time it happened this century
― H.P, Saturday, 26 August 2023 01:00 (eight months ago) link
I was wrong. Busby is the only pitcher to throw no-hitters in his first two seasons; here are two in the same season (article goes back to 2021).

― clemenza, Saturday, 26 August 2023 01:01 (eight months ago) link
I was wrong too! Roy Halladay had two in 2010 as well
― H.P, Saturday, 26 August 2023 01:02 (eight months ago) link
How can we forget Johnny Vander Meer’s 1938 seasons where he had two back to back no hitters (very impressive)
― H.P, Saturday, 26 August 2023 01:04 (eight months ago) link
I figured Steve Busby would be excellent Immaculate Grid Fodder. No--eight seasons, all with K.C. (And, if you could check the pitch count on those two no-hitters, quite possibly a good example of why that's not a good idea.)
Busby subsequently became the first baseball player to undergo rotator cuff surgery. In an effort to help his arm recover from the surgery, his doctor recommended that Busby be placed on a pitch count. He is often believed to be the first baseball player to be placed on a pitch count, something that Busby has stated is a myth. Before his injury, he is alleged to have thrown close to 200 pitches in a game, which Busby also says is untrue.

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.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 2 April 2024 02:17 (three weeks ago) link
Who's Bailey Falter of Pittsburgh? He's no-hitting the extremely offensively potent Orioles in the 6th.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 6 April 2024 21:27 (three weeks ago) link
well, he gave up a double. but if you're only gonna strike out one through six, you have to be incredibly lucky
― mookieproof, Saturday, 6 April 2024 21:48 (three weeks ago) link
I guess he finally... faltered
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 6 April 2024 21:51 (three weeks ago) link
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
― H.P, Wednesday, 10 April 2024 00:56 (two weeks ago) link
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
― H.P, Wednesday, 10 April 2024 01:44 (two weeks ago) link
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.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 10 April 2024 01:44 (two weeks ago) link
Yeah it's been good to see him immediately contribute to the team

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..."
