Nice punTailing
So so closeOhtani broke it up with one out in the ninth
And last night Mikolas was a strike away. Can't imagine what's going on in a pitcher's head and body at that point, must be insane...I wonder whether the excitement/nervousness or the fatigue is more intense.So so close
First batter in the eighth inning clean singleGarrett Cole no hitter through seven innings in Tampa and he’s at 102 pitches
Perfect games grab my attention. Me and bank disagree thereI'm with @2daBank
This no hitter thing has lost its luster. Too many hitters going bang or bust, I'm not sure it's a big deal anymore to not give up a hit in 9 innings
Lucky to actually see one when it mattered, was StL pitcher vs the Diamondbacks a lot of years ago, was an outing with co workers and we were in the cheap seats. Jimenez I believe was the pitcher. None of us realized it was a no hitter til the 8th inning lol. Pretty cool, entire stadium was pulling for it in the 9th.
Game has changed so much though, not even sure fans care anymore.

Seriously look at Edwin Jackson's line that game. I think the Snakes actually wanted him to throw his arm off to ease the parting of ways.Half of them come with 6 walks! Lmao. Ultimately there has always been and will always be a ton of luck involved, I’ve seen way more impressively pitched games where a pitcher allowed a few hits than 75% the no hitters thrown.. All ya gotta go is look at the bunch of bums who have thrown them! Sure for those losers it a huge deal since they will never have any great accomplishments, it basically hitting the lotto for those guys!

Tyler Gilbert, forgot we had one last yearWho the heck was last guy snakes had throw one? Is that guy even on a roster anymore? He was a awful pitcher!!
Tyler Gilbert, forgot we had one last year
For all I know he's selling insurance today
Walter Johnson (long lost cousin) is rolling over in his graveThe most impressive thing of them these days is actually pitching 9 innings! There not many complete games anymore,, wussy ass teams baby pitchers so much they act like going 6 innings a minor miracle!!

It's actually gambling on decisions at this pointI’m so annoyed they didn’t let Ray pitch 7th vs bottom the lineup he had fanned damn near every ab. Like it woulda killed him to throw 110ish pitches!
You expect too much of people intellectually. I‘m not sure most people can name half of our Presidents but becoming it is still generally considered an amazing accomplishmentThat the craziest part. Everyone who acts like I’m crazy and it like the most amazing achievement ever can’t even name 50% the guys who have done it!!!

Philip Humber.Lol. Ok, you got me there, fair point. Let me put it this way, I can’t name half the guys who have thrown them. Or, at least half the pitchers who have thrown a no hitter have had less than spectacular careers, havnt even made a all star game. If it was a less fluky thing then the list would be mostly HOF type guys. To a extent I think it really is the equivalent of hitting a jackpot on a slot machine or couple mil on lotto!
I bet you lean more my way on this than not, pretty confident you could dig up some no hitters with shockingly avg or worse xfip in that game!
