Title: Congratulations Stroke (Padres no hitter) Post by: ArtieChokePhin on April 09, 2021, 11:01:04 pm I know you're the board's resident Padres fan. Joe Musgrove just threw a no hitter for them, the first no hitter in franchise history.

They never really had great pitching, I can't even name a great Padres pitcher other than Steve Garvey and Trevor Hoffman. To be fair though, it really is just a crap shoot too. A pitcher can throw a 3 hitter and pitch better than someone who threw a no hitter, sometimes a 7 hopper to short gets through.

You have to be really lucky or your teammatess have to be firing on all cylinders in the field to throw a no hitter or a perfect game. Title: Re: Congratulations Stroke Post by: Sunstroke on April 12, 2021, 09:21:03 am Sorry guys...I rarely hit the board on the weekend. I watched every pitch of that game, and I kept waiting for the hit to come. When it got to the 8th inning, I lit two candles on top of the TV. When the no-no entered the 9th inning, I stood up and was pumping my fist on every pitch. When the last Rangers hitter hit that grounder to short, I was in full happy dance mode. So glad it was a local SD kid who ended up getting the Padres off the schneid... GO PADRES!! |
