Jonathan Sanchez Pitches A No-Hitter!

Wow. Just, wow. I'll write more when my hands stop shaking.

First thought: Straight up for Roy Halladay? No. Absolutely not.

Second thought: Stop with the announcer hate. They've always been exempt from no-hitter jinxes.

Third thought: If Uribe fields the eighth-inning grounder cleanly, maybe Jonathan Sanchez gives up a hit from the windup to the next hitter. Seriously. I'm not going to blame Uribe for blowing a perfect game, just like I'm not going to credit him fo the no-hitter.

Fourth thought: Bengie Molina should have more kids.

Fifth thought: The Giants should hire someone whose only job is to make Jonathan Sanchez angry before every start. You wouldn't like Jonathan Sanchez when he's angry. Well, you might. Others wouldn't.

Sixth thought: BOCHY STOP SHREDDING YOUNG ARMS SANCHEZ THREW OVER 100 PITCHES WHAT THE HELL?!?!

Seventh thought: That was Sanchez's first ever complete game. Awesome.

Eighth thought: Maybe the reason the Giants didn't pitch a no-hitter in the eighties is because a just and benevolent deity wouldn't allow Joe Morgan to do the play-by-play for a no-hitter.

Ninth thought: That can't be the first time his dad saw him pitch in a major league game. It just can't. That's just... My word. Ease his pain, Jonathan. Ease his pain.

Unbelievable. Right after the Giants’ #4 guy throws 8.1 innings of shutout ball and the #5 guy finally gives up two earned runs after two shutout (non-complete game) performances, the #6 guy throws a no-hitter. This is not only the best starting rotation I’ve ever seen on the Giants; it’s the hottest six starters on a team I can think of ever.

That makes no sense.

If you’re down more than five, are you supposed to give up? I don’t think so. You should be trying to get on base however you can. That’s one of the dumb “unwritten rules”.

Actually no, that makes no sense. In that situation, a single is identical to a HR. Your entire job is to get on base. The last thing in the world you should do is swing for XBH.

You need to get to second base so they can at the very least sac you in.

Are we talking about Cabrera’s AB? It was two outs. And anyway, a sacrifice when you’re down by 5 runs is silly and completely counterproductive.

by Cookyman on Jul 11, 2009 12:06 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh I forgot we were talking about that specific situation...

Then I guess you do just need to get on base, but bunting to break up a no hitter in the bottom of the ninth with two outs when you are down by 7 is about the sleaziest thing you can do in baseball without hurting someone.

by baetown415 on Jul 11, 2009 1:00 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Because, in some sense, your run does not matter. Your only job is to allow the tying run to get to the plate. It doesn’t really matter if you get on with a single, a walk, or an HR. Since your team needs 7 runs, a lot of guys behind you have to get on base to tie the game, whether or not you got on with a single or a HR. If you get on base with a single, you’re avoiding an out and you’re very nearly as likely to score a meaningful run (one that contributed to an eventual tie game) as if you hit a homer.

by taliesin on Jul 11, 2009 1:13 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I guess since the win expectancy between 7-0 and 7-1 is pretty much the same, that makes sense.

Try to think of a situation in which a two out, bases empty HR would lead to a 7 run inning, but a two out, bases empty single wouldn’t.

This isn't just me BSing

I actually thought DIrty had a good chance to throw one only because that’s the way baseball seems to work. If you look at the pitchers who’ve thrown no-hitters in history, there are plenty of 4th- and 5th-starters in there. I just felt like because it was so unlikely to be Sanchez when he’s in a rotation with Timmy, Cain and The Big Unit, it figures it would be him.

I’m not saying I called this tonight, because I didn’t.

I’m still not sure if I like Rags but big props to him and the work he and his staff did to help Jonathan out during his time in the pen. He’s had good starts before but he’s NEVER thrown this good. He’s never consistently had this kind of command and his secondary pitchers have never looked this good or been thrown all that often or been commanded that well. Kudos to Jonathan and to Rags.

This is the 3rd time in the past few years the Giants have sent a starter to the pen and then to have them improve after coming back to the rotation. Let’s hope the light switch has gone on permanently.

I can’t believe I missed this. No-hitter, and a perfect game through the 8th. WHYYY.

It never occurred to me that one man could play with the faith of 50 million.

First no-no by SF LHP since 1959, McCormick? Nice.

I saw that flashed on MLB

I don’t think it’s right, though. I don’t remember McCormick ever throwing a no-hitter.

Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??

Just found this...McCormick's is not recognized as an official no-no

http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Mike_McCormick_(mccormi03)

Mike McCormick June 12, 1959 NL San Francisco Giants 3 Philadelphia Phillies 0 (5 innings)

Mike McCormick threw a rain-shortened “no-hitter” on June 12, 1959 despite allowing a hit – the no-hitter went five innings, then he allowed a hit in the sixth, which was eliminated from the official records as rain cancelled the game before the inning was completed.

For some reason I thought Ed Halicki was a LHP. That’s what I get for not being alive during the 70s. But apparently I didn’t miss much. A flock of seagulls and an oil shortage…that’s about it.

maybe Uribe owes Sanchez a beer...

…but Sanchez owes Rowand one too. What a catch! But good point with the error… who knows what would have happened.

As with Sanchez, he looked absolutely filthy. I swear he was throwing a wiffle ball, that slider’s movement was just nasty.

I never actually thought a Giant would throw a no hitter, so this is just incredible. I think I’m going to watch the condensed game like 20 times tomorrow.

Actually, it’s pretty obvious that had he not made the error, it would have set up a whole new set of circumstances whereby Sanchez would have had to get four NEW outs; the odds of that happening are roughly .70^4, or, what, 1 in 5? So, yeah, he probably wouldn’t have gotten it.

This too. Imagine if he’d simply been playing out of position! Then it would have been a hit AND he would have escaped blame. Nobody would be the wiser.
