Jonathan Sanchez Pitches A No-Hitter!
by Grant Brisbee on Jul 10, 2009 9:43 PM PDT
Email
PrintWow. 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.

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.
Status: So pissed that the Giants sold my wall of Ks to Johnsonville Sausages, that I'm boycotting purchasing anything at the park, or patronizing their sponsors.
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.
Status: So pissed that the Giants sold my wall of Ks to Johnsonville Sausages, that I'm boycotting purchasing anything at the park, or patronizing their sponsors.
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.
Adoptive parent of Noah Lowry.
:-(
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.

How is a single identical to a HR in that situation?

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

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.
"He is Tim Lincecum...the Most Interesting Pitcher in the World."
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.

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 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.

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.

though if the guy is just taking the piss a la my Heyward/Porcello fanposts, I have to admit, he’s better at it than I

As I’m sure you know, RJ was a very unique pitcher with no command but incredible stuff – walked a lot, struck out a lot. Type of pitcher where if he harnesses his stuff, he could be a Hall of Famer.
Sadowski – not so mcuh.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
PABLO SANDOVAL AM STEAL DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
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.

Sadowski Sucks, even he knows it
Give it up
by FairweatherFan on Jul 10, 2009 10:57 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.

I FIGURED IT OUT
Juan Uribe is a time traveller. He stayed at second base the whole game, and Edgar Gonzales’s fly ball went out of the park. So, he went back in time and locked Pablo in the bathroom in the middle of the 6th. Bochy had no choice but to move him over. But then, Sanchez felt a pop in his shoulder in the 8th, so Uribe had to go back in time again and boot the ball, to start a whole different series of events.
He should be praised.

Dear everyone
congratulations.
Many of you watched an awful lot of atrocious baseball. Matt Morris, Tomko, Edgardo, Michael Tucker, and the rest. Who knows how many Fresno wonders come up for half a year and end up DFA.
This is why you keep watching lousy, old teams. Sometimes they become exciting, young teams. This team’s FIFTH STARTER threw a no-hitter. A kid who was in A ball last year zapped an actual home run into the flagpoles. A guy who looked terrible in CF last year made a great catch.
So, all of you that watched or listen to those stinkers since Game 6, in teh words of Jeff Kent… enjoy the game!

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?”

Seventh Inning, skeptical. Eight got me pumped. Ninth….damn…I was into in, going seventy in a fifty through the dangerous Terwillger Curves outside Portland, nearly killing myself, tears in my eyes as I heard Jon Miller tell me of the first Giants no-hitter since 1976.

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.

By the way, a no hitter with no walks and no HBP is more rare than a perfect game or unassisted triple play
Only 7 in history and the Giants have now been involved in 4 of them. Christy Mathewson was the other Giant to complete one. The other two were against the Giants, including the last one before this, which was Terry Mulholland in 1990.

Guys, I think we have to start believing in this shit as real. A’s fans are saying the Giants are for real. Bitter, whiny, myopic, head-in-the sand, FOUR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ZERO SPLASH HIT shirt wearing A’s fans. I didn’t believe it until I saw them discussing it in a gameday thread on Athletics Nation.

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.

I never thought I’d cry because a baseball game, but I did. just wow. I’ve seen a Giants no-hitter. It’s the best pitching performance I’ve ever watched a Giants pitcher deliver. holy fucking shit! a Giants no-hitter! just wow.

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 was at the Scott Garrelts game many years ago when he threw 8 2/3 of no-hit ball before Paul O’Neill broke it up. After that I never thought I’d see a Giants pitcher throw a no-hitter. I’m delighted that I was wrong. Tonight was just great. Sanchez was ridiculous and his stuff tonight was just ludicrous.

This might have been said already, but umpires get the raw deal far too often. They are human. The game is played by humans and it is not perfect.
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.

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.

Of course
This is just unbelievable! Congrats to Sanchez, but of course, the one game i miss over the season is a no hitter. Took my friend out to go see Bruno, and i get a ton of text messages from my friend in new york telling me sanchez better not screw up, and i get 6 calls from my dad, i seriously can’t believe it, I love this team!
this is why i read the chronicle
mick la salle told me bruno sucks, so i was at home watching the game

so please throw all pre-season predictions out the window. The league is what the league is and the Giants are one of the best teams in the NL right now. And they aren’t going away.
Also, the Dodgers better not go on a losing streak if they want to hold off the Giants. My prediction, at some point the Dodgers will lose like 7 of 10 and the Giants will get back into the division race and then it is really on. Bring on LA.

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."

I just want to say a few things… I’ve been posting here for a while, but tonight was special. Sanchez’ no-no happened while I was at work. While at work, I try to find a stream so I can listen while I work, and if I have time – follow along on McC. You all tonight made this even more special, because the excitement was palpable. We were all caught up in this oh so special moment, and it was an amazing time. I really want to say first – THANK YOU JONATHAN! This guy has been the object of our jokes and criticism, but in the end… I think we all knew he had it in him somewhere. It was just a matter of him finding it. Well, kids… he freaking found it. The greatest part about it was – he found it and we were able to witness it. He was an absolute genius tonight.
Second – THANK YOU McCovey Chronicles crew. I love this site, and I really enjoy reading all the jokes, the K watch, the STFD! and the fact that there’s a place that people who love the Giants just as much as I do can gather together and have INTELLIGENT conversation, with just a touch of comedy and a bunch of hijinks. You all make baseball that much more enjoyable to me, and I appreciate it.
Lastly – THANK YOU MR. SANCHEZ. That’s Dirty’s dad to be specific. This was special because he was there, and being a player who had a dad that didn’t make it to many of his games, I know it was special to Jonathan to have his dad there. BUY THAT MAN SEASON TICKETS! Take him on the road!
Seriously though… thankss everyone for making this celebration a good time. Now, I’m gonna watch the replay, keep reading here, and enjoy this Seagrams 7 on the rocks. I’m home and I deserve it.

A dear friend moved from the North side of Chicago to SF last year, thinking he’d fit in well. I thought so too; cute, great fashion sense, successful, gentleman, romantic. Couldn’t find a meaningful relationship to save his life. Turns out the city doesn’t like gays as much as it seems.

He was living in the Castro and everything. The day when he couldn’t find a nice guy to settle down with was the day I just stopped believing that relationships were worth a damn.

Randy Winn is in time out until his OBP gets back over .330.
Oakland has the most lesbians per capita among medium-to-large cities.

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.

Sleeping Giant
The title on Yahoo Sports… if that comes true and Sanchez wakes up… As the Isoroku Yamamoto so elegantly put it: “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”
PLEASE!!!
It is a freaken’ sign.
What a way to take care of business (not just beat a teaming we should but destroying them). The Orange and Black Horde is back in business and going on a league wide pillaging tour for the next few months. Oh yes, this is going to be some major fun.
That’s it! Katie bar the door for this 79 win team is star crossed! And I am loving it.
I turned my phone off in the 6th
and after the game I have 3 Vmails from LAD and LAA fans/friends trying to call me to jinx it….. I wasn’t going to let anyone jinx this.

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

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!
