[Wingack]

Ober against the Halos.

Pitch count might be OK.

 

[Wingack]

Nevermind.

 

[Wingack]

Sevy through 7. Pitch count is nice at 71 pitches.

I forgot he’d gone to the Mets.

 

[Wingack]

Dansby ends it.

 

[Rice4HOF]

7th inning in Seattle and things are interesting. For both the Ms and Atlanta.

 

[stp130]

Fried at 100 pitches, Bryce Miller at 74.

Edit: and Fried done for the night.

 

[Rice4HOF]

And it’s over for Miller.

 

[Rice4HOF]

Both the Mets and Atlanta had no-hitters in the 8th inning. They both lost their games. Mets were tied and gave up 2 in T9. Atlanta was winning 1-0, and B9 started with a walk and a home run.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

The Braves are 4 outs away from a combo no-no. Fried was a bit more impressive… Joe Jimenez is only throwing no-hit stuff because he's not getting anything over the plate.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

Through 8… the Mets bailed out Jimenez so much it looked like they wanted the no-hitter preserved more than he did.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

Iglesias gets the 3-0 "close enough" strike call and then ends up striking out Lindor.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

Down to their last out and the no-hitter – and shutout – is over thanks to JD Martinez, on the first pitch he sees from Iglesias.

 

[Brand Name]

Other no-hitters I found broken up with a home run, with two down in the ninth:

-Bobby Higginson off Roy Halladay, 1998
-Ken Phelps off Brian Holman, 1990
-George Hendrick off Mario Soto, 1984
-Gary Alexander off Mike Flanagan, 1978
-George Scott off Rick Wise, 1975

I remember watching that Ken Phelps game.

Some interesting day baseball in Philly today through 5

I remember watching that Ken Phelps game.

So does George Steinbrenner. The Halladay almost no no was in only his 2nd career start and also came on a first pitch.

The jinx is alive and well.

Blanco adds an asterisk to his no-hitter: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/05/ronel-blanco-ejected-after-foreign-substance-check.html

Blanco adds an asterisk to his no-hitter: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/05/ronel-blanco-ejected-after-foreign-substance-check.html

I'm shocked that an Astros player would do something like this.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

He'd been such a feel goo story.

[Heating up in the bullpen]

Blanco adds an asterisk to his no-hitter: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/05/ronel-blanco-ejected-after-foreign-substance-check.html

They check pitchers regularly throughout every game. I think at the end of each inning. So it seems unlikely he was using during the no-hitter.

 

[mauidano]

JFC, second MLB start and Paul Skenes is straight up mowing down motherfuckers.

 

[mauidano]

This guy is pretty special. 11 K's and 100 MPH on his last pitch.

It's up to the bullpen to carry on the no-no.

 

[AB in DC]

JFC, second MLB start and Paul Skenes is straight up mowing down motherfuckers.

I got excited at first thinking they were playing the Yankees. But alas.

 

[dirtynine]

Skenes is electric. First “must watch start” guy in a bit. Pirates fans must be salivating.

Yeah, imagine having to begin a Best-of-3 NL Wild Card series next year going against Skenes and Jared Jones? Gooooood luck.

Credit to Ben Cherington for overseeing this rebuild. Just wonder whether he'll survive as GM if the Pirates continue to be unable to hit water falling out of a boat: https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/pirates/2024/05/11/pirates-general-manager-ben-cherington-offensive-struggles-rowdy-tellez-michael/stories/202405100094

 

[mauidano]

And it's a day for mustached pitchers. Tyler Alexander of the Rays perfect through 5.

 

[mauidano]

Alexander not getting helped by deep counts and a LOT of foul balls. Still perfect but at 92 pitches through 7.

 

[Wingack]

Kinda feels like he has the magic tonight though.

 

[jon abbey]

Grayson Rodriguez, refreshed after his fake IL stint, hasn't given up a hit through 5 to SEA, just 57 pitches.

 

[jon abbey]

Gone on a weak infield grounder that the 2B couldn't get to in time.
