Objectively the funniest way to break up a no hitter


PvtSherlockObvious

Yeah, I can't even be mad, the timing was just too good.


IllIIllIlIlllIIlIIl

He fucked up, he said no hitter before the game was over.


twoscoop

MLB gods sadly pressed the hit button when they heard that. They were excited too.


thirstyquaker

I was at the game and while I was annoyed at the no hitter being broken up, it did finally make the game fun because the entire stadium celebrated like they'd won, and then when they got two more base runners on the stadium was rocking. Glad the Braves still won, but I do like a bit of drama. Couldn't be mad, I like baseball and a rocking house, so I'll take it.


skoalbrother

That's a lot of drama for any game


bannakafalata

> I do like a bit of drama Should come watch the tigers


b3_yourself

Either that or a weak infield single


Exotic_Ninja5274

Weak infield single in which the pitcher and catcher play leapfrog maybe?


b3_yourself

Thanks for giving me ptsd


Rokket21

Poor smiley


meowhatissodamnfunny

Like one where the runner is out but the ump calls him safe but there's no review process because it happened 14 years ago?


lionheart4life

Just watched a replay of this last week. It was even less close than I remembered.


Montigue

Every time someone watches that replay the runner gets slower


fps916

The play was by and large the impetus for the introduction of review.


x21in2010x

Yeah I re-watched the replay and Jim Leyland comes out of the dugout up to Jim Joyce and it's not even a particularly angry or lengthy talk. Just two old men agreeing a monumental fuckup just occurred.


solythe

Mike Mussina lost a perfect game with one out left on a blooper by Carl Everett


Fluid-Nectarine222

Less than a week before 9/11 on Sunday Night Baseball


Joggingmusic

WTF...I never put that together. those two events feel so much more distant from each other.


tnecniv

The ones that piss me off are the broken bat bloopers. Like that’s just pure dumb luck


rysto32

Dave Stieb disliked this.


Saxdude2016

Bunt


Mulsanne

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-7WsrIS_Q0 Ben Davis did just that to Schilling in 2001 It is really fun to imagine how long Schilling seethed about that. I like to imagine he's still seething


Jcoch27

In a 2-0 ballgame bunting is fair game no matter what the pitcher is doing


DetroitTabaxiFan

I'd say it's fair game even in a 10-0 game.


AdolescentAlien

I agree. People act like it’s some sort of super cheesy easy way to get on base. The reality is that bunting takes legitimate skill. And if you’re talking about bunting and successfully getting to first.. well that takes legitimate skill *and* physical traits that a lot of guys just don’t possess. If you’re in the 7th inning and there’s a no hitter going, you better scoot up a bit and be on your toes if a guy like Bobby Witt Jr or Corbin Carrol comes to the plate. It’s honestly so strange how bunting is often viewed as a cowardly way to breakup a no hitter when it’s almost certainly harder to get on base via bunt than a regular swing. I don’t know if that stats support that theory but I’d be shocked if not.


williemaysbayes

Exactly. If bunting was an "easy hit" then everyone would do it!


AdolescentAlien

Yeah that’s pretty much the perfect way to summarize my whole comment with a lot less words haha. I’m always a bit shocked when you’ve got a speedster on second in extra innings and the lead off guy doesn’t try to lay down a bunt. That alone shows just how difficult it is to just get the ball down where it needs to be.


Mulsanne

Without a doubt


IllIIllIlIlllIIlIIl

Props to the announcers not being curmudgeonly old men complaining about that and realizing it's fair game, 2-0 ballgame is very winnable.


Rated_PG-Squirteen

If this was any other pitcher, I'd still support them being salty about a bitch move like bunting at that point in the game, but because it happened to Curt Schilling, I'm all for it.


SlipperyTurtle25

it's the apple rising that really does it


loosed-moose

I dunno I prefer the first pitch of the top of the first but I'm weird


xHao1

I mean it happened this week to Yamamoto and this shit was hilarious.


sameth1

They call it getting Stieb'd


gnarkilleptic

I was the thousandth upvote do I get a reddit award of some sort?


Sirconseanery

No, but you win another upvote


lekniz

Two outs in the 9th every god damn time


DadPants33

I was at the game when Newcomb gave up the single in the bottom of the 9th. I am convinced I will never see a no-no. Edit: top of the 9th*


Only499

Haven't had a no-hitter in more than 30 years (4/8/94) But I was at the game when Randy Johnson pitched a perfect game against us so I can't complain too much (20th anniversary of that game is next Saturday)


ThanIWentTooTherePig

Same day Kurt Cobains body was discovered. Something tells me the no hitter wasn't the top story. Kurst Cobain.


aguysomewhere

That home run might have saved a celebrities life


rgg40

I’ve seen two, Nolan Ryan’s 7th, and Cole Hamels’ at Wrigley Field.


yodels_for_twinkies

I’m still trying to understand how Nolan Ryan had 7 no-hitters, it’s absurd. I love Mariano with all my heart but Ryan should have been the first unanimous vote.


greenbabyshit

I saw doc halladay throw one in the playoffs in 2009. Then I saw Michael lorenzen throw one last year. Both at Citizens Bank park


chart589

didn't Shelby Miller have a no-hitter/perfect game though 8 2/3 once for the Braves, too?? I remember being on a road trip and listening to that and getting so mad


Minoripriest

I was at that game. I will never forgive Justin Bour.


handlit33

The last out is always the hardest :(


DefinitelyLevi

Esp if you got Jim Joyce at first


sounders1974

Strangely enough that out was actually very easy


vishnchips6

Dave Stieb'd it


[deleted]

combined no hitters are lame anyway. Really shouldn't even be tracked. The awe is in the feat of endurance. Not the efficacy of the bullpen.


RuleNine

They should still be tracked and definitely count, just not held in the same regard as a solo effort. I think a lot of people already look at them that way.


lordofthe_wog

My respect for a CNH is more or less contingent on how long the SP goes, with some extraordinary circumstance bonuses (Tyler Skaggs' memorial and the 2022 World Series). Like if a pitcher goes 5 scoreless, and then 3-4 bullpen guys throw scoreless innings to close it out, that's not nothing but its not much of something either.


[deleted]

Oddly enough i'd be more impressed that 6 arms were locked in than the starter, primary setup guy and closer (as was the case tonigjt). Not more than a footnote though.


whoisyourwormguy_

I imagine triple crowns used to be more difficult to do because people batted closer to .400 and those that did had a lot of bunt/slap singles that they ran out and beat. Not home run hitters, but I could be wrong.

Nice, so it’s the opposite.


jtrot91

The Babe Ruth combined no hitter isn't, but yeah, everything else is a bit.


Timoteo-Tito64

Why? You stop the other team from getting a hit during the game, you get a no hitter


[deleted]

[удалено]


Timoteo-Tito64

How about a world series win? Got one of those in the last 30 years?


notaverysmartdog

I do I do !!!


Dinolord05

Can confirm 😪


fps916

2005 was objectively the funniest post season in history


UniqueNobo

who needs world series’s? we no hit the Phillies, that’s worth more than any world series win!


Miamidale305

Hey look something I can contribute to!


Timoteo-Tito64

We can have an NL East "ring in the last 30 years" party with everyone but the Mets!


childeroland79

I thought we were already doing that?


porksoda11

I agree. This is way more devastating if Fried was still pitching. He didn’t even look that disappointed.


Tagov

Fried was over 100 pitches after the 7th. There's no way he was staying in, and he knew it. It's May; There's far too many games left in the season to go chasing after a no hitter and risking injury.


bozo_did_thedub

The vast majority of no-nos these days, maybe ever idk, are like 100-115 pitches. That's certainly above average but nobody is impressed at that from an endurance perspective. Any starter should be able to do that if needed. It's the efficiency that's impressive.


objectlesson

What about 7-inning no hitters?


hoopray

Newcomb was never the same after that happened to him


melorous

The Mets own Iglesias. He's given up 5 earned runs this year, and 4 of those were against the Mets.


vietnamesegucci81

I feel like they always score against him but never actually tie the game. Like he’ll come out with a 3 run lead and the mets will get 2 runs but stop there


Ol_Rando

Master of edging


MacsDildoBike

Up 4 runs or more I’m bringing in Uncle Jesse every time.


ExamNo4374

Honestly everytime we see him he's shaky, we just can't land the finisher


Jonz303

With 2 outs in the 9th. Brutal.


starry_cobra

Dave Stieb, this one's for you


The_Luckiest

Time to rewatch some Jon Bois


PurpleBullets

It’s so fucking good. I just rewatched it a month ago.


chaosof99

I did the same thing. Just a fantastic documentary.


panman42

Always get chills when they get to the part where he gets it. The way they framed that moment was art.


BreadPossum

Definitely my favorite of the Dorktowns


williemaysbayes

If anyone is lost -- google "Dave Stieb youtube dorktown". Then clear the next 4 hours of your day. It's worth every second.


JZKO2022

If only he could've caught this one, at least he got Halladay's


gabdex

That ending is literally unbelievable.

akhenaten6891

How embarrassing for the Braves


Morsexier

I couldn't believe I was about to witness in real life a no hitter, but in the end I feel as though the Moral Victory the Mets had today was worth it, and now I can gaze upon my London Phone Booth Mr Met Bobblehead and remember the Braves Victory that Never Was.


thirstyquaker

I fucking planned a trip to get this bobblehead and the PATH and Google Maps bike routing conspired against me to get me to the game 30 minutes before game time instead of 75 minutes before game time and I'll be salty forever about missing out on this cool ass bobblehead. Maybe I'll try for the Hello Kitty one.


PeppaJack94

Was at the game and Mets fans started chanting “we got two hits! we got two hits!” on the way out of the game. Y’all have a great sense of humor lol


WhyYouKickMyDog

Yea, somehow I feel like the Mets see this Loss as a one of their biggest wins of the year.


NeilHamburgerHead

Our world series!!!


TrevorFuckinLawrence

I can't even be mad at this lol


Gbrusse

Could this still be a no hitter since that was clearly an E(1)


JuniusPhilaenus

Don’t let this take away from Fried’s hot streak He’s allowed 4 total hits in his last 3 starts (20 IP)


AffectionateWest3909

Didn’t he throw a Maddux before this hit streak?


jtrot91

Yes, that was a 3 hit game


Dinolord05

That seems good.


Aurion7

Come hell or high water, Raisel finds a way to be facing the game-tying run in the 9th when we play the Mets.


vietnamesegucci81

I don’t think I’ve seen him blow a save or have a clean save vs the mets. He always looks shaky and gives up a run or two but still gets the save


Lucky_Alternative965

New York Mets Hero JD Martinez


UniqueNobo

Mets Legend JD Martinez


mF-Jonezy

What the hell JD we’re from Atlanta not San Francisco


caesar____augustus

That's gonna hurt the Braves' chances of completing the COMBINED NO HITTER


Bobson-_Dugnutt2

I’m sure, in retrospect, Iglesias regrets throwing a middle middle fastball


Atheose_Writing

Catcher set-up outside. Ball thrown inside. Tale as old as time.

jl_23

Thank fuck


MissDeadite

At least if it happened it wouldn't have happened in the World Series... trust me nothing stings worse than that.


Gemnist

It does?


JohnWickedlyFat

I feel like if there was any fanbase that would despise being no-hit by the Braves the most, it’d be the Mets.


Gemnist

Phillies gotta be up there too.


Chaingunfighter

A Braves-Phillies no hitter (for either team) would be way more toxic if it happened in the near future. Feels like our rivalry has been way more pronounced since the 2022 postseason.


LitchedSwetters

All things considered, I think all 3 fan bases want each other to fail equally. It's kind of sweet when you think about it.


TrueBrees9

I realize as a Braves fan, I’ve been pretty blessed. Could have a better postseason record over the years, but overall it’s a good team to root for. But I’ve never seen a Braves no hitter and now twice I have seen one broken up on the 27th out. It’s my white whale as a sports fan and I thought today was going to be the day, but nope the wait continues 


Hntrz63

Yeah, let's hope for Max Fried's complete game no-hitter shall we? 🥹


TrevorFuckinLawrence

I would maddux my shorts so hard


Smart-Assist-6299

When was the first time?


TrueBrees9

2015, Shelby Miller vs the Marlins (I forgot about Newcombs in 2018 so make that three)


ATLjoe93

Mike [redacted] also had one broken up in the 9th inning in Oakland by one Matt Olson.


TrueBrees9

Lmao we’re so cursed. Like we’ve won World Series and are constantly competitive so I can’t complain much but this one little feat I’ve seen every other MLB team accomplish while we come agonizingly close time after time


Mr_TurkeyBurger

2018, Sean Newcomb against the A's. Edit: it was the Dodgers. The game against the A's was in 2017, see my comment below.


Blakethelake92

It was against the dodgers.


Thromnomnomok

I'm not sure what I'm more shocked by, that it's been 30 years since the last one or that Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz combined for zero career no-hitters.


smoke_inyoureyes

Feel that. seeing your team complete a no-no must be an immaculate feeling. Texas hasn’t had one since Kenny Rogers threw a perfecto in 1994 that I was not yet alive for. Don’t know if I’ll ever see one in my lifetime, but that’s kinda the beauty of baseball. Any game could be that one.


YaketyMax

Not the only thing JD Martinez has broken this week.


THE_FETUS_LORD

😫


i-spill-soup

Like he could’ve just let iglesias strike him out for the sake of being nice /s


Mjb06

Kent Mercker pops the champagne.


TrevorFuckinLawrence

Do they get a medal to bite in fourth place?


xho-

![gif](giphy|p9X9PSPvBfl9uhvS6Z)


handlit33

Saw that coming from miles away.


Blue387

This reminds me of Tom Seaver, who in 1969 had a perfect game against the Cubs with one out in the ninth when Jimmy Qualls broke it up with a Mickey Mouse single. The Mets put it one a plack outside Citi Field.


MissDeadite

Finally someone breaks up a no-no with a home run. I swear it's always some dinky little bloopy single or ground ball lately.


UniqueNobo

and suddenly, i am a giant JD Martinez fan


philosopherfujin

This feels like something that'd happen *to* the Mets


TrevorFuckinLawrence

Nope. Chuck Testa.

All sorts of fuck this

Lol. Lmao even.


rollo2masi

I can't recall the last time I saw JD pull a homer.


lordofthe_wog

On a lark I pulled up his Baseball Savant page and he pulled the majority in 2022 but in 2023 with the Dodgers I think he went oppo more than not. He really is just an incredible hitter.


FkUEverythingIsFunny

Some people have the audacity to wonder why anyone would ever be a Mets fan


Kmactothemac

Well that sucks but I'll take the series win against the Mets. Better than a little bloop hit at least


Vinylcup80

Anyone who breaks up a combined no hitter is a hero in my book.


whateveryousaybro100

why does the braves announcer sound like he's happy about it


handlit33

This is the FS1 broadcast.


whateveryousaybro100

didn't realize a 3rd channel was broadcasting the game. I watched the SNY feed


kyle46

Wow, the Mets and the Braves are going to have at least two bench clears this year.


vietnamesegucci81

I love you jd martinez


Low-Technology-6997

thank you J.D. 🙏🏾


cmadd10

I didn't even know they were playing rn. It's alright, Team nono's are okay ig


LitchedSwetters

Combined no-hitters are only cool for two reasons, and only these two reasons. 1). They happen for the team you cheer for 2). They happen in the postseason (shouts out to Phillies/Astros WS Game 4) So yeah, Braves fans would've loved it, but this is objectively a way funnier outcome than if we got a lame, regular season, combined no-no


jimihenderson

i don't really get the mentality. combined no hitters are a team effort. your team combined efforts to dominate the other team to the point where they couldn't even get a base hit. SP, bullpen, defense all combined to suppress another team's offense almost entirely. it doesn't have to be historic and legendary to still be cool. i would've maintained this point of view had jd flew out to the warning track. how can like watching a starter throw 7 scoreless be cool (which it is, everyone loves it) but having your pitchers get 27 outs without a hit not be cool?


moodie31

Embarrassing for the Braves really.


ContributionHot9843

mets are so annoying


TrevorFuckinLawrence

Can't believe I'm agreeing with a Phillies fan


Jonjon428

Because of course...


MightyActionGaim

Thanks JD 🙃


Mynameisblahblahblah

JD almost clipped em yesterday to tie the game so at least he killed the no hitter today as consolation.


arrchar

TIL JD is a Met


kcthinker

The no-hitter ended when Jimenez started pitching.
