I got nothing but respect for Shota Imanaga! He's been counted out by many teams, but he's one of, if not the best pitcher in the world right now!!!

[@TravisHoff]

he's great but nowhere near the best let's stop

[@inuda101]

​@@TravisHoff貴方はMLBが世界最高と思っているの？世界最高はWBCだから。

[@Kurruptedwolf]

​@@TravisHoffnowhere near the best? Why do you say that? While I agree he's not the best. he is easily one of the best pitchers in the MLB... sub 3 era, 155 strikeouts started the year with his first 9 starts under .86 era and just tossed 7 no hit innings. He did that joining a new team and league in a new country.

[@DMAN94]

He’s definitely the best in the world, no bias 🙄

[@morcatna4767]

IMANAGA!!

今永と鈴木は良いチームに入って良かったね。 観客も素晴らしい。

[@DaveysWonderfulWorld]

Absolutely legendary the first ever no-hitter for the Cubs in Wrigley Field since 1972 😄🐻❤️💙

[@justinclick2789]

The First no hiiter from 1972 came from milt Pappas

[@robletterly6679]

@@justinclick2789 technically, the first no hitter in 1972 was Burt Hooton. Milt's was later in the season.

Gran trabajo en equipo. Felicidades y Panamá 🇵🇦 presente.

I think a no-hitter and team bonding are the same thing. I want to applaud these great players.

[@calbo4051]

Taylor McGregor...one of the best post game interviews I have seen. The right situational questions that the fans want to know. All sports journalists should study this clip. OUTSTANDING!

[@robletterly6679]

31 people thus far has given this a thumbs up. Unbelievable.

[@srellison561]

I think Imanaga probably could have gone at least 1 more inning if Paredes hadn't made 3 errors.

[@Kurruptedwolf]

I keep wondering why we got rid of morel... Every once in a while he makes a play that makes me think that's why and then he does that. Morels defense those last 3 games was pretty spectacular and then poof.

Congratulations for the Cubs no hitter since 1972 💙❤️🐻

[@bullados]

Incorrect. The Cubs have had several no hitters since 1972. Zambrano. JAKE twice. Mills. Davies combined. This was the first Cubs no hitter AT WRIGLEY since 1972.

[@KevinMiller-xn5vu]

​@@bulladosOut of all the no hitters the Baby Bears have had, none of them have been perfect games.

[@Cubsfan17611]

@@bulladosthey mean the first time winning at wrigely and a no hitter

[@patriciamohar4445]

I work at American Family Field and I was there for the Zambrano no hitter vs Astros and for Mills in 2020. The Mills no hitter was so much fun for me because even though there were no fans in the park, I was still there working in the team store. I felt like I was the only fan at the no hitter. I got first base from that game!

[@seen48]

Wow! How nervous would you be being the pitcher coming in last. As a Mets fan witnessing one of these fine gems a few years ago, it’s so awesome when it’s a combined no hitter. Way to go Cubbies. And one only three years ago for y’all also!

[@豊後太郎-p3q]

The Cubs have been looking like a strong team lately. Go Cubs Go!

[@Beatlesbec]

hopefully, they'll be a contender team next year

[@ulubatlihasan46]

NO CUBS NO

[@robletterly6679]

they need another starter, a closer, and a third baseman. That's pretty much it.

[@XxRedemMEr]

Can proudly and happily say that I was there to witness this!

[@robletterly6679]

Pappas threw a perfect game. Just ask him. Well, you can't anymore, but 45 years later, he was still pissed off.

[@ratronatro]

2:09 Umpire: oh. I wanna see no-hitter too.

[@Baller-ry1mu]

The catcher’s framing was insane!

[@justjames7809]

Lmao

[@Nathan-kd9ud]

He grounded out it wouldn’t mattered if it was called a strike or not learn to watch the game

[@Whoo_Boy]

@@Nathan-kd9ud this is a very uniformed comment. You need to understand sports mentality. A batter's approach changes with the count and the consistency (or not) of the home plate umpire. It's the same thing with the mentality of the pitcher. Had the umpire called it a ball there is no telling what pitch would have been made next, nor what the hitter's approach would have been. That kind of thing is unpredictable.

[@Nathan-kd9ud]

@@Whoo_Boy this is a very biased comment from a guy who hates on the cubs and gives a nerd answers and likes his own comment

[@EnigmaAbyss]

That was the most chill no-hitter celebration I've seen. Maybe if they had more to play for they might have been more excited. Oh well, at least they're not the White Sox.

[@jasonmilly3320]

It may not be as special/memorable as a starting pitcher finishing it off, but I don't hate on it like some people and definitely don't say "it doesn't count" lol... no hits = no hitter, simple. But it's still impressive tho, every reliever has to be on their A game. Sometimes it has taken 5+ pitchers to complete the game, they all have to deliver. And at same time make it even more embarrassing for the opponent...like they can't record a single hit vs whoever is pitching.

[@SeerMagicX]

It certainly counts. But it's certainly not as impressive. They should keep them in different categories for historic sake. No Hitter and Combined No Hitter.

[@clipcoug1139]

@@SeerMagicX: Given there have only been 21 combined no hitters, I'd say that's more impressive than the 300 or so no hitters that were done by 1 pitcher.

[@norwoodwildlife9849]

I find it a little odd, but when 1 pitcher throws a no-hitter, the team celebrates like they won a world series, but a combined no hitter, everyone is like yeah it's cool but no big deal.

[@RafaelSale]

I know right. I feel they should be a little more thrilled about it.

Extremely generous strike zone provided by the ump. He didn't call a strike on that first pitch to the last batter only because he needed to give his right arm a rest.
