If you have a chance to watch the Minn game, Johann's got a no hitter through 4IP with nine k's.

 

could be history....

I'm thinking as much about the 20k record as the no-hitter. To me, those are accidents of where balls fall as much as anything done right by the pitcher. 21 K's would be a feat, though.

[BigSlick]

Whats with Sosa and suddenly being able to break up perfect games?

[Guest]

5IP / 11K

 

As impressive as that is...it's a bit off pace. He needs two innings with 3K's to reach 21

good point. and 2 Ks in the fifth only makes the point stronger: 11 through 5 now.

 

He's on pace for just fewer than 20... wow. He's doing amazing, but it's still not on pace for the record. What a record . . .

[Lockes Eye Scar]

0 strikeouts in the 6th.

[Cynosure]

Aww he fails, no K's in the 6th.

[Guest]

Aww he fails, no K's in the 6th.

Still possible....just pretty far fetched. He'd pretty much have to strike everyone else out -- and get 4K in one inning with a dropped third strike.

[Cynosure]

LOL Tim.

 

And why does Sosa have the only two hits in the game? And why have the Twins only scored 1 run? This looks like that day Prior struck out 16 batters and the Cubs still lost.

15 Ks

Still has a chance to tie. I wish I had this on TV here.

[Cynosure]

17 Ks

8 IP

 

HOLY *#@#

[soccer10k]

17 K's through 8 innings. He's thrown 112 pitches though.

[Guest]

17 k's - 8ip

 

If you were the catcher and Johann strikes out the first three guys next inning...do you drop that last strike to give him a shot at 21? :D

[soccer10k]

Joe Nathan is coming in.

[Cynosure]

WHY did they take him out?

[Guest]

Aww...great outing by Santana, though. Best pitcher in baseball. And it's not really close.

[Guest]

WHY did they take him out?

111 pitches, 1 run lead, one of the best closers in the game on hand.

[soccer10k]

112 pitches.

And he has like zero chance of winning the Cy Young this year.

 

There is aboslutely no justice in baseball.

[Cynosure]

112 pitches really isn't that much for a pitcher like that. Well I take it back, it IS a lot but I'd let him keep going after 6 straight Ks.

[Guest]

btw - that's 17 strikeouts and zero walks.

 

crazy good.
