ALL 27 OUTS of Cubs NO-HITTER! (Shota Imanaga, Nate Pearson, and Porter Hodge) | 今永昇太

can you explain why its a no hitter if some guys got to 1st?

[@Deerjason]

@@momentary_yeah it’s kind of lame; someone could just walk their opponent’s best players to get a no-hitter

[@hunga.b]

@@Deerjason if it were that easy no-hitters would happen all the time lol

[@Deerjason]

@@hunga.b ??? I don’t think u understand what would happen if they just walked all the best players. They would lose the game but get a no-hitter. I’m sure every team doesn’t want to throw games intentionally like that. Imagine if someone intentionally walked the first 7 batters in the dodgers lineup. The dodgers would score basically 11 runs every inning. It should really be a no-hitter no-runs scored.

I’m not even a cubs fan I think this is cool

[@skinnie2838]

Its not that cool. Its very very hard to throw 9 hitless inning with the same pitcher because of how tired he gets and how many times the hitters see you so when a no hitter is broken up between multiple pitchers like this it loses all of its flavor sadly.

I’m not a cubs fan, but congrats to them on this achievement.

[@pumpkinhill4570]

I love watching Shota!

[@ユーザーA-u3d]

W12-3L 9 wins margin is gained only by Shota. And it is higher than the team's winning percentage(72-68). His literal WAR must be 9.0!! Because without him, The Cubs are in last place in the division by now.

[@SmokinSquirrelRS]

12-3 is on par for getting 100 wins in a season, what's crazy is you would need a team FULL of shotas to be able to achieve that

[@jedidazed3390]

thats not how WAR works

[@psymar]

It's not that clear cut. 9 of his starts, the Cubs have scored 7+ runs; those days almost any pitcher would get the win. Overall the Cubs have scored 5.12 runs per game average when he starts and 4.46 when he doesn't; that's going to help his win-loss record despite being something he clearly has zero control over.

[@ユーザーA-u3d]

@@psymar So you guys said the luck determines everything? Right?

[@louiea4276]

Let Imanaga pitch until he gives up a hit! Pitch counts should be used FOR this situation, so that his arm isn't overused in unnecessary innings. He deserved to have a chance at his complete game no hitter

[@Rowgue51]

Chasing a no hitter that hard is something losers that are riding a fluke that know they'll never get another chance do. Guys that know they're mediocre and that's going to be the highlight of their career. You don't do that with a guy that's looking like he can be your ace for the next ten years.

[@Hominator917]

Yeah I can’t believe it.. He wasn’t even at 100 pitches yet. Japan even has a more rigorous pitching schedule with only 4 pitchers in the rotation so he definitely had plenty left in the tank

Paredes' 3 errors caused Imanaga to have to throw more pitches than he needed to. Thus, ruining the opportunity to complete the no-hitter. Paredes has made 9 errors in 32 games since joining the Cubs, and he is batting .170 while with the Cubs. What a bum! He stinks 👎

When a team is down seven nothing after three innings, it's a road game and they have tomorrow off... a no-hitter loses it's shine. Sometimes a team just gives up... and the record books won't tell you, which 'no-no' was truly earned and which wasn't.

Jim Maloney of the Reds only needed 226 pitches to throw a 10 inning no hitter vs the Cubbies at Wrigley Field in 1965 . Maloney threw 3 no hitters and should be in the hof . Today , the pitchers are treated like babies . There are hardly any complete games anymore ! Maloney , Koufax , Gibson , Marichal , Drysdale , Spahn , Bunning , Jenkins , Law , Friend and Seaver would throw several complete games every year .

Things we will never see anymore in baseball or astronomical odds. (1) nobody will ever win 25 or more games in a season (2) baseball will be lucky to see one 20 game winner per season perhaps every other season. (3) 200 innings pitched will be a rarity (4) complete games extremely rare let alone shutouts by one pitcher. No hitters will always be combined as well. (5) outside of Verlander, Kershaw & Scherzer who are all extreme long shots, YOU WILL NEVER SEE A 300 GAME WINNER EVER AGAIN! (6) I highly doubt we will see maybe a handful of 200 game Winners in the next 100 years. (7) probably most you don’t really care? To me it’s a shame. It’s semantics but explain why if young arms are being protected why are their so many surgeries & injuries. Taught to throw harder & not taught finesse. All the goodness is stripped away. To think most critics believe Greg Maddux wouldn’t be a success in today’s game? Probably the biggest study of the game. So sad, so brutally sad.
