Welp. CF fucked him and should kill himself lol

[Beau Vine 55,859]

Man, that's a bad situation for a manager, but... 127 pitches?  

If the CF had caught that, are you seriously going to send him out in the 9th to throw 140 or so pitches?

99% catch probability according to Statcast.

[Beau Vine 55,859]

Might want to flip over to the Red Sox at A's game.

Chris Sale is pitching.  

But Sean Manaea has it going.  

[cabowabo 4,685]

MLB Network gonna show it too.

[WBT 20,966]

Through 8

[UTexasFight 9,807]

Ha. I saw that after the 3rd and thought i’d keep an eye on it only to get distracted for the past hour or so... glad I flipped back in time for the 9th

[Radical Larry 28,819]

He got it. 

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Pretty damn impressive

[WBT 20,966]

Got it!  

Guess Boston was due for one as hot as they've been.

[Helobious 9,817]

 

[Rustic Horn 929]

Awesome.

 

 

[Beau Vine 55,859]

Good for him.

That dude went to Indiana State, where nobody good goes to play baseball, developed like crazy, and was a preseason favorite to be the #1 pick in the draft before his junior year.  He got hurt and slipped to the supplemental 1st round IIRC.  

Has looked like he has it together even before tonight.

[spystud13 2,371]

$20 each from my AL-only fantasy teams for that, ain’t mad at it.

You ought to be orgasmic about the Red Sox losing their third game of the season so that the Yankees can pull within 6.5 games of the lead.

Dumbass, you're obviously forgetting about Tunch Ilkin, who made two Pro Bowls playing O-line for the Steelers.

Journey of 1,000 miles and all that. Sox getting no-hit has to be an omen of some sort, I feel good. 

And “no one good goes to Indiana State to play baseball”? Jeff Degano would like a word. 

[dbecks 442]

Well... can’t say it was against a weak offense.  Helluva performance tonight. Hats off to Sean Manaea.

[texifornia 59,010]

As an Oakland fan and a deep deep Red Sox hater this is probably going to be my happiest day of the year. Long live the the Throwin' Samoan!

Just got back from the game. Kids got Sean's autograph the other day. 

[Beau Vine 55,859]

Dodgers got an odd one going in the 9th.

[WBT 20,966]

Combine me!  

Pulling a starter with a no hitter is still lame though.

Edited May 5, 2018 by WBT

[Beau Vine 55,859]

In slightly related news, Daniel Descalso is pitching the 9th for the DBacks.  He has thrown 2.1 hitless innings in his career.  

Now has two outs.

[Beau Vine 55,859]

1-2-3 inning for Descalso.  
 

Now 3.1 hitless innings in his career.

[Scraps 13,798]

Fucking Shields somehow has a no hitter through 6

[Scraps 13,798]

It gone! /Hawk

[Scraps 13,798]

Paxton has one going thru 6 against the Blue Jays

[Scraps 13,798]

Thru 7

[MC Fresh Breath 4,075]

Hold me, fellers. 

[spystud13 2,371]

Only 83 pitches too. 

[Goo Punch 4,275]

Nice defensive help there too.

[spystud13 2,371]

92 through 8 now. 

[MC Fresh Breath 4,075]

two mini heart attacks so far.  not bad. 

[miguelito 11,499]

One of the things I love about my wife: I just showed her Paxton's box score line

8 0 0 0 3 6 

And she got all excited. 

[spystud13 2,371]

1 down. 

[spystud13 2,371]

2 down. 

[Goo Punch 4,275]

He’s making it look effortless. One out to go.

[spystud13 2,371]

Fuck yeah!! That was fucking dominant. 

[WBT 20,966]

The Big Maple!  Good for him, 3 walks and 7 Ks and hitting 100 mph on the last batter.  And did it in Canada.

[Goo Punch 4,275]

Seager makes the play! Well done. And the Canadian does it in Canada.

Edited May 9, 2018 by Goo Punch

[MC Fresh Breath 4,075]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[miguelito 11,499]

99 pitches, is that right? He should get to keep pitching until he wants to stop.
