Ubaldo Jimenez pitches no-hitter

[CubbieBum]

First in Colorado history from what I heard. He had 6 walks so it's not that great but still a no-hitter. Also had 7 strikeouts.

I had Jimenez on a fantasy team so I was overly excited and made a new thread for this. Probably should be moved to the other games thread.

I think it's fine here, I also had him on 2 teams. The 6 walks are a bit of a asterisk to put on it, but a no hitter non the less and he is a very underrated pitcher that the "general fan" doesn't know about. Also it's a no-hitter with 6 walks that will make you appreciate Woodies 20K game more.

Well my fantasy team appreciates it.

[OleMissCub]

glad y'alls fantasy teams loved it because that is what is important after all :-)

 

I watched most of this game (flipped back and forth from it and the marathon turds-mets game) and Ubaldo's no-no reminded me alot of Carlos' no-no. Just straight up power.

 

Oh and Fowler's outfield snag was unfreakingbelievable.

[Roast]

Awesome. Good for him (and my fantasy team)

Isn't that one of the higher walk totals for a no hitter in history. Isn't that how many AJ Burnett had in his, or did he have even more?

 

I figured the pitch count would be higher than 128 when I saw he had 6 walks and 7 K's.

[Terp]

Burnett had 9 walks in his and threw 129 pitches.

In 1955 Sam "Toothpick" Jones of the Cubs threw a no-hitter despite allowing 7 walks. He walked the bases loaded to start the 9th inning and was almost pulled from the game, but then struck out the side. That year he led the NL in most losses (20), the most walks (185), and the most batters hit by a pitch (14), yet somehow he was an All-Star.

Joe Cowley pitched a no-hitter in the 80's walking 7 and giving up a run, I think.

Andy Hawkins pitching a no-hitter and losing the game is a favorite of mine.

That isn't recognized as a no-hitter any more. Several years ago the rules for a no-hitter were changed, and now a pitcher (or more than one pitcher) must pitch at least nine innings to get credited with a no-hitter. If a no-hitter was previously recognized with a no-hitter and he only pitched 8 innings because of being behind (as with Hawkins) or less due to a rain-shortened game, those no-hitters have been wiped from the record books. Also no longer recognized are games where a pitcher pitches at least nine no-hit innings but gives up a hit in extra innings (such as Hippo Vaughn and Harvey Haddix). I agree with the second change I mentioned but not the first. Regardless of the number of innings, if a game is an official completed game and the teams pitcher (or more than one pitcher) does not allow a hit the entire game it should be a no-hitter.

100% agree.

i was going to say that jose jimenez threw a no-hitter for the rockies, but apparently he was on the cardinals (surprise surprise) at the time.

Yes he was with the Cardinals then. He was called up from the minors for a spot start, threw a no-no, and was immediately sent back down again.

He spent the whole year with the Cardinals. Had the 2 best starts of his career in a span of 3 starts. The no hitter and then a 2 hit shutout, both against Randy Johnson and the Diamondbacks. Johnson went 8IP 1ER 14K the first game and then 9IP 1ER 12K the second game.

Didn't someone on the Angels throw a "no-hitter" and lose recently?

8 innings loss, Jared Weaver and a reliever (Arredondo maybe?) combined.

According to a list of no-hitters on espn.com there hasn't been a no-hitter (as recognized under current rules) in a losing effort since 1967. The game you mentioned wouldn't be recognized as a no-no under current rules since it didn't go 9 full innings.

I know, I incorrectly read the question he posed as "Lose a no-hitter" (as in miss out on credit for one), and answered as I did under the assumption it was clear that it was not an official no-hitter. I should have been clearer.

Here's the game. The Dodgers win 1-0 despite not getting a hit. Kemp reached on an error, stole second, went to third on a throwing error and scored on a sacrifice fly.

[bukie]

Here's another one I remember that Andy Hawkins pitched against the White Sox and lost 4-0. He even pitched the whole game.

I was at that game, but I was only 1 at the time.
