I hate the Red Sox, but I hope they get a combined no-hitter.  

[fan_since79]

I hope he can control his pitch count and get a chance at the no-hitter. 

 

I hate the pitch count garbage.

[Bashbrothers]

Shit.  They have the one run that will do us in.

His PC is already at 79. Since he's making his first career start, the team probably only wants him to make 85-100 pitches.

Bumpus Jones is the only pitcher to throw a no-hitter in his first ML start. That was in 1892.

[Bashbrothers]

****.  This is bad.

[fan_since79]

88 pitches through six innings. One baserunner. Only 9 pitches last inning.

 

You have to give the kid a chance at baseball immortality.

Agreed.  I'd keep close tabs on the kid, and let him huck if he's feeling good.  He can rest later.

Infield single. 

[LBHalos17]

Dayam... it's over.

[fan_since79]

Great job, kid.

2 run-HR. Tie game.
