SNY and WFAN calls Johan Santana's No Hitter

Gary Cohen and Howie Rose. Lets Go Mets!!!!!

[@RmWithAVu1]

Gary Cohen = Best in the business!

[@Beltran15x]

The whole crew. I wish they could call every game. I watch a tone of games every year. SNY Mets crew is the only one that spends a lot. A LOT of time talking about and praising the other team. Along with l jews around the mlb. It's what a broadcast should be. Teams don't talk a whole lot about other teams and sure as hell don't praise them. It's embarrassing to listen to some teams.

[@Beltran15x]

Beltran15x Lmao news not jews.

[@RmWithAVu1]

Beltran15x No doubt! They analyze the game very well as well. Love Your username! I miss Beltran but I'm very happy We got Wheeler in return for Him.

[@RmWithAVu1]

@HyundaiYang1987 If only that were true.

[@slippy5166]

It still brings tears to my eyes when I think of how he sacrificed his career that day to give us fans what we all wanted. Did we win the WS, no, but we all were feeling like we did that day.

[@raygordon3728]

Great that Gary Carter could be there that day

[@steven-eb8zw]

That was a fan.

[@grenadePQ]

he was already dead bro

[@dapster]

[@MatthewSmith-cv7op]

Ralph Kiner lived just long enough to see this. I knew he'd see it!

[@softdumpinthecorner2410]

Ron Darling in the background is priceless

[@12mach]

He screamed right?

[@crewkid52]

Think about this though: before this, no Mets pitcher had ever thrown a no-hitter while they were on the mets, and we clearly had enough good pitchers over the years. Nolan Ryan, arguably one of the best starting pitchers ever, threw 7 of them, but none of them with the Mets. Doc Gooden almost had one with the mets, but it didn't happen; he then gets one in 1996 with the Yankees. David Cone left the mets and got a fucking perfect game in '99. Tom Seaver debuted with the Mets but his one no-hitter was when he was with Cincinnati. In '07, John Maine had a no-hitter through 7 2/3. This game is one of my favorites as a mets fan, and one of the few high points in the low years between '06 and '14

[@joshuagingrich3881]

Tom Seaver had a number of times where he took a no-hitter into the ninth inning while with the Mets.

[@courtgizzle]

I have a good feeling that some day deGrom is going to pitch the first perfect game in mets history

[@wcngm43]

I feel like Thor will be the one.

[@courtgizzle]

It could of been Bartolo Colon Wednesday but he gave up a hit in the 5th

[@richdaley9982]

+wcngm43 I have been thinking this too. They are all great but Syndergaard's stuff is the best in terms of raw talent. There is still a lot of work to do but he has a no hitter or perfect game in his future. There are regularly a couple of inning in a row where he is unhitable and then he will make a few mistakes. He needs to learn how to string them all together.

[@joej1045]

SynderGod

[@marcbalderacchi2833]

+Rich Daley (RedHaven) so false, syndergaard's fastball might be 98, but it's movement is not like degroms, even in syndergaard's shutout games, the other team often has 6-7 hits, plus syndergaard relies on strikeouts and his pitch count is always high

[@FlowIrec]

I'm so glad Tom Seaver was able to see this.

[@ChiefSusa]

" And now santana perhaps a strike away, johan sweeps a little dirt away from the left of the pitching rubber, steps behind the rubber, tugs once at the bill of his cap, takes a deep breath, and steps to the third base side of the rubber. Santana into the wind up... the payoff pitch on the way.. swung on and missed! Strike three! Hes done it! johan santana has pitched a no hitter in the 8,020th game in the history of the New york Mets! They finally have a no hitter! And who better to do it than Johan Santana and what a remarkable story!

[@MizzAnthrope]

Right on par with, "Matteau, Matteau, Matteau!!!"

[@joshsmith5750]

As a Yankee fan, I smiled. It's not like hockey where the three local area teams beat each other up during the regular season.... then playoffs. Let Mets fans have a good time. They've been through enough.

[@FrankaDankus327]

Means a lot. Funny how I hate the Yankees fans but there is some true fans that I respect. Good luck and I think we can both agree on one thing, fuck Boston.

[@brian_brennan42]

+Josh Smith No screw the Devils and Islanders lol I hope they both lose and lose badly when we're eliminated. Usually I'm the same with the Mets but respect.

[@aaronjg682]

Thus ended the great career of Johan Santana.

[@jasonwesker5241]

i had goosebumps throughout that entire 9th inning...that was incredible ! Let's Go Mets ! :D

[@brendanhilliard8244]

8 years later and it still brings tears to my eyes. I never would’ve imagined it would happen especially after having so many great pitchers come close and pitch them on other teams. To finally see it and have it happen and give us great moment in what was a rough time to be a Mets fan as we were not very good, is a surreal feeling. I’m sure I’m not the only Mete fan who feels this way.

[@johnbertrand7185]

Wonderful moment in Mets history that: 1) Was aided by a blown call in the 6th when 3rd base umpire Adrain Johnson ruled a ball hit by former Met Carlos Beltran foul when it actually hit the foul line, and 2) Ended Santanna's career as coming off shoulder surgery in 2010 he was shot after this 133 pitch outing.

[@christianlopez4410]

Hearing Cohen's reaction gave me chills.

[@paktype]

+Christian Lopez Cohen grew up a Mets fan in Bayside, Queens. That was a reaction from a fan, not just an announcer.

[@gbond]

@1:52 Ron darling screams “YEAH” love it

[@davidreyna6859]

Traded in his entire career all for one moment of glory. god damn how glorious it was.

[@t206kid]

His career was already over. He missed the end of 2010 and all of 2011 then all of 2013. It was his lucky night because to be honest he didn't have great stuff this game. The best game I think he pitched as a Met was game 161 of the 2008 regular season.

[@Tee-OhBee]

The fan in the Gary Carter jersey actually getting in on the celebration is legendary. To me, the arrest would be worth it.

[@dfc576]

Amazing feeling for a Mets fan. I never thought I would see one. The only great moment that we have had at citi field (so far). Thanks for the memory Johan and teammates!

[@gweckesser826]

I was there! 6 rows behind home plate! Probably the best day ever!

[@johnpastore7685]

Three home runs in one home twice. The Mets just got their second no hitter, tonight.

[@aaronjg682]

I'm a Yankee fan. I still tear up when I watch this.

[@yourteamsucks2136]

That's because Yankee fans appreciate good baseball. Most Mets fans (not me) have a green eye of jealousy of the Yankees and would never appreciate that comment. I did when David Cone did his perfecto, because I remember how close he came three times to a no hitter as a Met.

[@JayzBeerz]

thank you bro this still gives me goose bumps in 2021

[@wingpigmang]

in another year of mets pain i loved this, johan gave it his all, and i love watching r.a dying in agony lol

[@MrAschiff]

I can't believe it will be ten years this June.

[@EvanderSmart]

Look at his stats and game log. He was never the same after that game. His career was in jeopardy anyway, but this finished it. But what a way to end it!

[@Gerkinstock]

He had a Hall of Fame trajectory before the injuries began piling up. Too bad. Baseball's loss.

[@MakBot]

Johan actually got really hurt when Mets utility infielder Justin Turner stepped on his ankle when he was trying to cover first base a couple weeks later. That lead to Johan relying on his upper body to drive the ball off the mound ala Pedro Martinez on the Mets back in 2006 after he hurt his ankle slipping in the shower. Pitchers rely a lot on their legs for their power. Johan had his legs until his teammate fucked his ankle up a couple starts later.

[@Y2JWannabe93]

When he got traded to the Mets his career got ruined

[@KnickKnack07]

Give me a fucking break. One game didn't end his career. He was on the downswing anyway. It is the strict pitch counts that are CAUSING all the injuries...not protecting against them. A pitcher knows he is coming out after 100 pitches and he figures he can throw as hard as he can every pitch. So, like an idiot, he throws 99 MPH fast balls to the opposing pitcher with 2 outs and nobody on and a 4 run lead. Meanwhile, pitchers like Nolan Ryan who knew they were going 8 innings or more every game would dial it back and throw at full speed maybe 20 pitches a game. Only when needed. It wasn't just against the opposing pitcher that he would dial it back. It was against anyone with 2 outs and nobody on. And an arm and shoulder can tale 140 pitches where only 20-30 are full strength a hell of a lot better than it can take 100 pitches were 80-90 are full strength.

[@yourteamsucks2136]

Same with David Cone. . .look at his career after the Perfecto

[@rentslave]

I was waiting for Howie to say put it in the books.I think that he should have said that right off.

[@Teardehawkee]

I got chills looking at this!

[@vccstudents]

And the San Diego Padres stand alone as the only team to never throw a no-hitter.

[@kylehasib2951]

and with so many great pitchers they've had under bud black with that ginormous pitcher's ballpark i still don't understand how they haven't yet.

[@vccstudents]

Look at all the great Met pitchers who either didn't pitch one or pitched one with other teams. David Cone, although not an original Met pitched one with Toronto and later a perfect game with the Yankees. Dwight Gooden pitched a no-hitter with the Yankees, Tom Seaver pitched one with the Reds, and Nolan Ryan has thrown seven total pitching for Anaheim, Houston, and Texas.

[@vccstudents]

The Padres were four outs away when the center fielder butchered one. Remember the date 4/20/18.

[@cosmokramer3425]

Not anymore!

[@vccstudents]

@@cosmokramer3425 It finally happened. Sadly, a no-no is rare because of pitch counts. I still say these guys are only playing every fifth day. Let them have a shot if they can. Now the question is no longer who hasn't thrown one yet, but "Who's gone the longest since their last one?" If Musgrove doesn't throw one in his next start, family, friends, and fans of Johnny Van Der Meer and the Reds can yell, "THE RECORD'S SAFE!" He's the only back-to-back no-no.

It’s so great to hear Gary and Howie break character as unbiased broadcasting professions and just call this like they’re 11 year old Mets fans

[@iunstoppable1]

He got torched by the Yankees in his next statt after this and was on the DL shortly after. This was really the end of his Mets career but he was worth it just for this moment.

Seaver, Matlack, Gooden, Cone... The Mets have had so many great pitchers in their history, but it was Johan Santana to hurl the Mets first No-Hitter ever.

[@RicksTravelogue]

And he wasn't the same after this.

[@RicksTravelogue]

***** To be fair, yes, he had two more scoreless outings against Baltimore and Los Angeles after this no-hitter, but six of his ten outings following this feat had him giving up 6 or more earned runs. That's all I'm getting at with the "he wasn't the same after this" comment.

what about Betrans hit?

[@robertbachman2633]

As a lifelong Met fan, I have said it before and saying again...This was NOT a no hitter. Beltran's hit down the line hit the chalk, I saw it "live" then and on replay countless times.

[@misplacednewyawker]

I am a Mets fan and nowadays this would not be a no-hitter. This was before they had instant replay and there was a ball called a foul that was clearly a hit for the Cards. That said, in 85, I believe Dwight Gooden threw what should have been a no-hitter, but the official scorer at home yet, called a hit on what should have been an error by Ray Knight. Mets have about 32 one-hitters, which is far ahead of every other team.

[@vccstudents]

I didn't know which one would happen first in my lifetime. The Mets would pitch a no-hitter, or the Cubs would win the World Series. I guess Steve Bartman took care of the other one to make sure this happened first. There was a foul ball in this game that should have been called a hit, but it all evened out. A few nights later, the Mets were in Tampa against the Rays and had a one-hitter that should have been an error.

[@hadmiar8]

vccstudents So Steve Bartman made the Cubs lose 3 straight NLCS games, and even if they had made the World Series, who's to say they would have won.

[@vccstudents]

hadmiar8 I'm not arguing that. I was joking!

[@hadmiar8]

vccstudents Ok, I was making sure.

[@vccstudents]

I've looked at the comments here, and a number of you are correct when you point out BUMtran (Still upset about taking strike 3 in '06 and being non-emotional about it along with his Astros cheating) should have had a hit, and replay back then would have confirmed it. That being said, however, the Mets do have a no-hitter in a game that was a one-hitter. I'm not talking about Gooden's one-hitter in '84 that Ray Knight didn't attempt to play, but if he had, it probably would have been a tough play and at worst could have resulted in an error with a runner on second. No, several nights after this game, R.A. Dickey pitched a one-hitter in Tampa against the Rays that the Mets lobbied should have been a no-hitter. I was at the game with front row seats, and it was an error by David Wright. It all evens out in the end.

[@ogrebattle22763]

It wasn't a no-hitter.... it was the no-hitter that shouldn't have been...

[@Aqwtiny]

Terry knew what was on the line this game , Terry knew not only history was on the line , but that Santana's career was on the line ... Santana put it all on the line.. Had a 6.59 ERA rest of the year and career is done topping just 88 MPH from a 94 running fastball.. Was it worth it?

[@trolljones4386]

CiscoLitco He already met alot and he is the first met and the first latino met to throw a no hitter.

[@NothingToPointOut24]

I think if Johan wanted out of this game he could've asked out. Sure he would've gotten killed for it by the media/fans etc, but if he thought it wasnt worth it, there is no way he would've continued to 134 pitches. If he was smart with his money, he should have enough for him and the next 2 generations of his family to live on. And not for nothing, he will hold a place in Mets history forever. Cant put a price on that.
