Around SBN: Eden Hazard In London For Medical, According To Reports

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.

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.

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.

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  

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  

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

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 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.

Awesome game! Great job Scott and Jonathan. And all hail Babe Sandoval!

I was thinking the same thing.

I think it took a degree of pressure off Sanchez. My fear is that he would’ve quite possibly tried to be too fine (parrticularly when he fell behind Adrien Gonzalez 3-0) and ended up giving up a hit.

With the perfecto off the table, I think Sanchez could just relax and fire.

WHICH HE DID!

…Johnson had the better ERA, which was around 3.5, more than a full run lower than Sadowski…however, my point is that neither of them were great an any way. Plus, if Sadowski was that bad of a minor leaguer then why would the Giants call him up in the first place?

Because Pucetas had pitched two days before the day they needed him to make a start.

And RJ’s minor league statistical record is nothing like Sadowski’s… and we also can’t really see his full minor league record because he first pitched such a long time ago.

Same here.

But my original point is only suggesting that he is a decent 5th/6th starter that completes the best 6-man rotation in the game.

by RaymondStoneMedia.com on Jul 10, 2009 11:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

It’s possible that Sadowski might be okay in that role, but not likely. There are several other pitchers in the system who are more likely to be a good back of the rotation starter than Mr. :(owski.

I agree with this.

I suppose that if Johnson didn’t work out then a team could make him into a dominate closer, where as Sadowski is a 50/50 shot…..and closing is not an option.

by RaymondStoneMedia.com on Jul 10, 2009 10:55 PM PDT up reply actions  

Look:

Sadowski has an extremely mediocre minor league record. Not many Ks, too many walks. he gets a decent number of groundballs, which is nice. His stuff is not very good. He’s like 25 years old.

Even so far in the majors, he has 4 BB/9, 5 K/9 and a 1.20 K/BB ratio – very poor numbers.

At best, he’s probably going to be a fifth starter. 13 scoreless innings to start his career does not change that. He is not the first pitcher to luck into a hot streak to start things off and he won’t be the last.

lol if I call my dad to tell him about this he’ll go “who?” and then listen to me babble for ten minutes, then say, “oh well that’s great honey.” I flip out at my dad about Giants prospects every time we talk and he doesn’t know what I’m talking about.

My dad's in Mexico

birthplace of Jonathan Sanchez (according to ESPN).. .but he doesn’t like sports anyhow.
I did watch the end with my son, who just turned 5 and has no idea what happend.

We turned it on in about the 4th (after Iron Man) and he asked (like he always does) who’s playing… he thought I said “Pod Racers” instead of Padres… and decided he would cheer for both teams (little brat)

FIRE BRIAN SABEAN... UNLESS HE KEEPS DRAFTING WELL. .. AND SIGNS UNDERRATED PLAYERS LIKE AFFELDT OR PHELPS. .. OR ALRIGHT WHO'S PLAYING WITH THE ALIEN MIND-SWITCHING RAY?

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.

My wife doesn’t even like baseball, but she was in tears at the end. You had Rowand making the great catch, constant shots of Jonathan’s dad cheering him on, and a crowd that was absolutely AMPED. This was a three hanky ending.

Funniest part was, we switched away from the game for a minute before the top of the 8th, switched back and there was a runner on second. I was like “damn, I think he lost the no-hitter”, and my non baseball loving wife said “maybe it was just a walk…that doesn’t count against him right?”

I was just thinking

Before last year, I’d seen a lot as a fan – 100-win seasons, a 100-loss season, MVPs, every home run record, game 7 of the World Series (sorry), incredible games, heartbreaking losses, the best player of all time….everything but three things:

- A Giants Cy Young winner
- A Giants no-hitter
- A Giants World Series win

Two down, one to go.

You make a good point.

I took a friend tonight who is, for reasons I don’t understand nor care to know, a Cardinals fan. He’s very knowledgeable about sports generally, and he goes to about one baseball game per year (don’t worry— I’m going to start dragging him to Zito starts). Anyway, as we were leaving, he said that there is absolutely something going on with the Giants this year, that there is some kind of magic that is going to last all season, that kind of magic. He’s usually right about these things.

if they keep getting JUST ENOUGH hitting as they have been getting. I was mad at Uribe tonight, but his stepping into the void at 2B seems to have done what all the statheads said improving 2B would do. And Molina was gone, and I recall seeing in some other thread that the Giants were undefeated in games when Molina DIDN’T bat cleanup.

So, if Ishi and Rowand and the others keep on keeping on, a smiling Panda will lead them. And FIFTH STARTERS that avoid going to AAA by pitching no hitters, and AAA nobodies who throw consecutive shutouts…et al.

My touching family tale

I live in London and fell asleep watching the game – I only woke up because of Kuip screaming into my earbuds (sleeping girlfriend next to me) when Rowand made his catch.

When Sanchez does it I start punching the air and decide to call my dad. Can’t get a hold of him on his cell since he’s at work. Call my mom, can’t get a hold of her. Call my mom’s cell, again no pickup even though this works about 99% of the time. Call my dad’s house on the off chance he’s mom and get my stepmom, who’s Thai.

I’m so excited I’m about to run out into the street with underpants on and a Giants hat screaming and the one freakin’ person I get back home in San Francisco is the one person to whom explaining a no-hitter is only slightly less complicated than explaining Catholic dogma to a kindergartner.

Stupid family, they suck.

Hilarious

But, really, I thought that buying Catholic dogma pretty much required being a kindergartener.

Wonder what Sanchez is going to be doing with his ASG break. His Pops is in town so he probably is not going to the Caribbean. Maybe see the City or go gambling in Las Vegas. Whatever you do Jonathan enjoy and relax. But do not forget what Rags has worked with you on

Maybe it’s just because it’s easy to seem like you care when you’re throwing a No-no, but it seemed like a new level of focus from him tonight. He’s so often looked like he didn’t care this year, but this game, he looked totally locked in from the first inning to the end. he even laid a bunt down without looking like a dumbass.

I’ve watched that last pitch a few times now and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a strike. But that didn’t matter. It was 8-0 and history was not to be denied. The umpire called a pitch that was close enough, put some serious flair into the call, and gave the Sanchez and the Giants the night they deserved. Way to go ump.

couple notes on Pablo's homer

they say it was Bondsesque, but I don’t remember Bonds ever hitting one where Pablo did. I’m not saying he didn’t, but that was a total bomb.

Also, the reaction by Banks was just priceless. He new it right away and gave one of those “AH, MAN!” reactions right as soon as Pablo swung. it was awesome.

I have to admit that I feel a little vindicated because I’ve been backing Sanchez, even after the demotion, as a guy who can still be very good – as a starter or a reliever. Now maybe this game won’t change things in the long run. He might go back to being the wildman he’s been this year, but he totally looked like a different pitcher tonight. I’ve never seen him have command of the slider like he did tonight. I didn’t even realize until the 6th inning that he had a perfecto going, because I just assumed he had walked somebody by then. So, as all Giants fans do, I feel great about tonight, but there’s that little bit extra that makes it special.

So, for at least one night, suck it, haters.

-Johnny Vander Meer pitched two no-hitters in two consecutive starts, but not back to back games.

-In the Negro Leagues in 1927, Willie Powell and Webster McDonald of the Chicago American Giants just missed throwing back-to-back no-hitters against the same opponent. Powell no-hit the Memphis Red Sox 5-0 on August 14, and McDonald followed the next day with a 9-inning no-hitter that was tied 1-1 after nine; McDonald lost the no-hitter in the 10th, and lost the game 2-1 in the ninth.

-There have never been no-hitters thrown by the same team in consecutive games, although it has happened once on consecutive days: On May 5, 1917, Ernie Koob of the St. Louis Browns no-hit the Chicago White Sox, and teammate Bob Groom repeated the feat in the second game of a doubleheader the following day. In 2008, the Chicago Cubs’ Carlos Zambrano no-hit the Houston Astros on September 14, with teammate Ted Lilly giving up just one hit in the teams’ next meeting the following day, Monday September 15.
On two occasions, there have been back-to-back no-hitters thrown by each team in a series. On September 17, 1968, Gaylord Perry of the San Francisco Giants no-hit the St. Louis Cardinals, with the Cardinals’ Ray Washburn no-hitting the Giants the following day. On April 30, 1969, Jim Maloney of the Cincinnati Reds no-hit the Houston Astros, with the Astros’ Don Wilson no-hitting the Reds the following day.

Rob Neyer:

“Bottom line, Sanchez threw a great game. His slider reminded me of Oliver Perez’s old (good) slider, which used to remind of Randy Johnson’s old (great) slider. To close the seventh, Kevin Kouzmanoff struck out on a slider that actually hit him in the foot.

What does it all mean? I don’t care. I’m just grateful for the chance to watch the last three innings. Maybe Sanchez gets hammered in his next start. Maybe the Giants trade him (he’s been discussed as trade bait for most of the season). Tonight, though, none of that matters.

I do want to mention (again) how much I like the Giants’ TV broadcasters, Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow. Particularly Krukow. When Sanchez came to bat in the bottom of the eighth, Krukow said

      Well, Tim Flannery has nicknamed Jonathan Sanchez “the Spaniard.” And in that movie, “Gladiator,” there’s that one line that says, “Spaniard, you win the crowd, you win your freedom,” and he’s really won the crowd tonight.

What we don’t know yet is what else Sanchez has won. But again, that’s a discussion for another day. Let’s just enjoy this moment."

Watched Sanchez throw a no-hitter. Friend called 5 minutes after the game and said he missed being struck by lightning by 5 feet. Went to the Casino and won 150 dollars.

Beautiful.

FINALLY A NO-NO FOR THE GIANTS

UNBELIEVABLE WAY TO GO SANCHEZ. NOW EVERYONE WILL BE CALLING ABOUT SANCHEZ I SAY DO NOT TRADE HIM. GIANTS GONNA DO THIS ON PITCHING.

DONT GET ME WRONG THE GIANTS NEED A POWER HITTER BUT IF WE TRADE SANCHEZ IT BETTER BE A BIG NAME PLAYER.

3 things

1) I think I’ve seen more commenters I don’t recognize on this thread than ever before. Awesome. I love the McCoven.

2) I was really surprised by the amount of Uribe hating. That error definitely sucked, but that was a wicked bounce. He might have sold it as an error with that half-assed bobble, too…
 
3) I’ve NEVER been happier or more excited as a Giants fan than I am right now. And I was at 756. My seatbelt is on so tight I can barely breath.

According to Baggs,

I didn’t get the impression that Sandoval’s sore back is anything to worry about. That’s the reason he left the game and Juan Uribe moved from second to third to begin the seventh inning.

So the move wasn’t strictly for defensive purposes. But even if it was, you couldn’t fault Bruce Bochy for it. The Giants were a better defensive team with Uribe at third and Kevin Frandsen at second base.

For once… BAGGS IS WRONG! Why mess with the chemistry — it was a PERFECT GAME for fuck’s sake.

Got home late last night…went to a minor league game, and around 9 pm our section started buzzing about Sanchez having a no-no into the 9th. A few minutes later my girlfriend’s uncle called who is a cubs/A’s fan and his first words were “ok, i’m drinking the koolade now”

Sleepless in NJ

After two nights of short sleep, I figured I’d listen the first inning — or one time through the Giants line-up at most. I fire up the laptop, sign into Gameday, and lie downg in bed in the dark with the earphones so as not to wake the wife. Nine innings later, there I am at 1 a.m., wired and thinking, what if Matt goes back-to-back? I’m napping this afternoon just in case Grant throws us another effective jinx.

Unbelievable

What an unbelievable game! From the Pablo Sandoval Bondsian Home Run to the un-be-lievable catch by Rowand, and complete domination by Sanchez… amazing. Just some thoughts:

The Uribe-hate is just stupid, nobody knows what could have happened if he did field the ball correctly and makes the out, maybe the next batter does get a hit, so really no sense in hating Uribe. Besides… he started the scoring.

By the way, some kudos for Righetti as well, who according to some reports worked with Sanchez during the time of his demotion. Sure, its just one game, but he at least have control, so maybe there was a fix for his wildness.

by SFGAmsterdam on Jul 11, 2009 9:23 AM PDT reply actions  

I believe the main reason for the demotion was to give Sanchez time and space to work on stuff with Righetti.

by groug on Jul 11, 2009 4:06 PM PDT reply actions  

I drove 5+ hours all the way from Eureka to see this game...

Initially, I was disappointed because my wife and I thought Randy was going to pitch and we got Sanchez instead…we had great seats, Section 112, row 24 behind home plate.

Jonathan was razor sharp…his velocity, accuracy and concentration was a true masterpiece—a far cry from what I had witnessed watching him falter in previous games on tv.

The crowd was loving it…and he absolutely deserved every cheer and hand clap.

If this doesn’t build on his confidence, nothing will.

I salute, you, Mr. Sanchez…thanks for making for an unforgettable night at AT&T Park!
