Jonathan Sanchez Pitches A No-Hitter!

Perfect.

More photos » by Ben Margot - AP

Perfect.

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.

I'm with ya

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.

Yeah if you are down by more than five, there is no reason you should bunt.

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”.

It takes more than a single to score five runs...

you should be swinging for extra base hits.

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 can't really expect your teammates to drive you in though...

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.

the fact that he threw a no-walker is more surprising

Randy Winn is in time out until his OBP gets back over .330.

always a good decision

The strongest force in the universe is back in the big leagues, brother. So whatcha gonna do, Russell Martin, when the walks, the dingerz, and the power of Bowkermania run wild on you?

is there any doubt?

Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.

If anyone told me Sanchez would be the one to throw a no-hitter among Lincecum (especially after last night), Cain, even Zito and Johnson, I would have laughed in your face.

Always had the feeling that Sanchez felt he didn;t belong with those guys, He now can hang

He’s always had the stuff, but I doubted his mental toughness. He shook briefly after the error, but he recovered.

Which is odd considering he threw like 5 no-no’s in college.

Dude was dealio in college. Low level, though.

Ohio Dominican. Not exactly a powerhouse school.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that pie > cake, that Bochy is endowed by his creator with certain undeniable traits, that among these are veteran man-love, a gigantic skull, and the pursuit of the double switch.

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.

Yeah, he seemed like an excellent candidate for one of those five walk, one HBP, two wild pitch no-hitters. But this? Crazy.

You;re thinking of AJ Burnett’s nine-walk (NINE!) no-hitter right there.
