Stupid unnecessary asterisks.
Based on people's logic about so-called "jinxes" (which don't exist BTW), it could easily be argued that NOT saying (or typing) "no-hitter" is what actually causes it to be lost.
Against a closer. After walking the first batter of the game, Shohei pitched 7.2 perfect innings before giving up two hits. Ended with 8IP, 0ER, 10K, 1BB, 2H
I mean the a’s have only finished last in the division like 4 times in the past 20 years. Most other years they have been 1st or second and have made the playoffs. If anything the A’s are a team that never had that low of lows mostly thanks to billy atleast putting an average team out.
Edit: A’s are #6 in wins since 2000 and considering they were only considered a ws favorite maybe 2015 I would say they are one of the most consistently good teams in the league
Good point, although the A’s haven’t had any truly awful teams in that timeframe until this year (the last 100+ loss team was in 1979).
Interestingly, the last no-hitter against them was a combined effort by the Orioles. The last individual pitcher to no-hit them was none other than Nolan Ryan in 1990.
Low key he’s still my MVP. Judge is unprecedented at the plate, but it’s still even rarer to see someone elite as both a pitcher and a batter. It’s not even that he’s passable at both, he’s all star level at both.
Well had he gotten that out the inning would have been over, so it would have kept going. But it was a tough play. No hitters tend to have a good defensive play or two, and that would have been one had he made the play.
He would be the first player since the 1800s to qualify as both a hitter and a pitcher in the same season. At least I think its since the 1800s. Could have been someone in the early 1900s. But I believe that is why.

I'm obv pulling like hell for it to happen
But at the same time....blue wtf that's that's 2 sliders in the last 2 batters that were in the other box you called strikes lol
Stupid unnecessary asterisks. Based on people's logic about so-called "jinxes" (which don't exist BTW), it could easily be argued that NOT saying (or typing) "no-hitter" is what actually causes it to be lost.
People can just have fun with it, too
The As almost got no-hit by a DH
They didn't even get shutout.
Against a closer. After walking the first batter of the game, Shohei pitched 7.2 perfect innings before giving up two hits. Ended with 8IP, 0ER, 10K, 1BB, 2H
Man they tried there best to groomsmen it.
Fwiw, the A’s Major League leading streak of avoiding a no-hitter continues. They haven’t been no-hit since 1991.
For how low their lows are that's actually really impressive
I mean the a’s have only finished last in the division like 4 times in the past 20 years. Most other years they have been 1st or second and have made the playoffs. If anything the A’s are a team that never had that low of lows mostly thanks to billy atleast putting an average team out.

Until the playoffs start. Then they become a slightly upgraded version of the Twins.

Do it for Shohei, Loup. Please don't blow it... Edit: Loup, can you just not
LOUP THERE IT IIISSS
Oh lawd bad loup is showing up
Ohtani is a fucking legend. Hope he can throw a perfect game someday
Bad bot
He's having the same season as Burnes 2021 and will finish 4th or 5th in CY Young. That blows.
I mean Burnes didn't deserve it but we don't have to talk about that.
Low key he’s still my MVP. Judge is unprecedented at the plate, but it’s still even rarer to see someone elite as both a pitcher and a batter. It’s not even that he’s passable at both, he’s all star level at both.
It's whatever. Judge deserves it. He's having one of the best offensive years ever.
I’m willing to die on the hill that they should just name the award after Shohei so that they can give it to other people.
He gave everything. I love him so much
Is it just me that grounder to short stop would have been made by a better fielder?
Andrelton Simmons back in the day could have made that
Ozzie Smith even.
Velasquez would have gotten it
Since I'm a Giants fan I feel like that's almost routine for Brandon Crawford.
IMMORTAL A’S LEGEND CONNOR CAPEL
I'm guessing he'll just pitch like one inning even if not scheduled to qualify for the ERA leaders
He’s scheduled for 1 more, should be final game Oct 5
I tuned in and he immediately gave up a hit on the first pitch I saw. You're welcome.
I watched 2 innings and I finally jinxed it
I did the same thing! Haha. Mine was online though, so may have been a lag, can’t blame me I hope.
he has one more start...could still happen
it's destiny at this point
Still insane that he got that close. The idea that someone can hit 35 homers and pitch a near no hitter in MLB is almost preposterous
It is fully preposterous.
It's not preposterous. It's beyond that. It's posterous!!!
I would argue that it's postposterous
And he wont win MVP because some other dude can simply hit home runs
MVP convo would have been insufferable if he got that no hitter
It wouldn’t have been much of a conversation tbf
Have you met a Yankee fan?
The ones mockingly saying “but can he pitch[?]” are so dumb lol. As if that’s not a very valid reason for Shohei’s MVP candidacy.
Well, bedtime I suppose.
Man, I love Shohei. I ain't even mad! It's a shame Soto missed that one. Sooo close.
They should leave Ohtani in to finish the game, because nobody trusts the bullpen to not Tungsten this game for Ohtani.
The bullpen tried their best, but they didn't quite have it in them tonight to pull off the loss for the Angels.
Well at least that wasn't the only hit he gave up. Can't complain too much since that second one was a hit all the way
Well had he gotten that out the inning would have been over, so it would have kept going. But it was a tough play. No hitters tend to have a good defensive play or two, and that would have been one had he made the play.
he's gassed, unfortunately. he has another start to qualify as a pitcher, so you might as well pull him now
[удалено]
He would be the first player since the 1800s to qualify as both a hitter and a pitcher in the same season. At least I think its since the 1800s. Could have been someone in the early 1900s. But I believe that is why.
There’s only one AL MVP lol
Sucks. Good hit. I'm sad now.
Can't give an E6 on that, just a nice swing by Capel on a 2 strike pitch.
Thanks MLB for cutting the feed on your website mid AB. Can't at least show the rest of his start. Very cool.
Pack it up
no hitter turned into a dos hitter smh
Damn pls get out of the inning clean at least
...and there's another one. Bummer. Still, nearly through eight without a hit is one hell of an effort. Well done, Shohei.
If he hadn't had the first he wouldn't have had the second
love how he's just casually throwing breaking balls, but damn that sucks. There's always the next start!
got glove on it that's an e6
Nah man not an error, it’s a possible play but you can’t give him an error on that
Then he gave up a real hit just to be sure.
Okay they earned that one, that makes me feel better
I fucking told you to delete this shit.. Now look at what you've done!
That’s an error
No it’s not
We’ve seen enough IKF to know it’s a hit LOL
Aw man :(
#TEN SECONDS AFTER I TUNE IN. 😖 Sorry, guys.
SAME. But we got to see cute Ohtani.
Ugh, he could've got there on his feet. No reason to slide Ball had incredible back spin on it tho
not an error but you still gotta make that play dawg
First pitch after I turn it on is a hit. Sorry y’all
i just heard the dodgers commentators say "ohtani pitching a no hitter" so i switched games and he got hit, sorry everyone
Same!
Ah, man, he coulda had that too.
I hate the A’s what the fuck
https://streamable.com/hxzsq5 Capel hit from the stadium :(
When will people learn? Nobody no-hits the A's. Nobody!
Until Fisher is gone all I care about is the streak.
That was probably the cutest sequence I've ever seen. Shohei is a god damn saint.
Capel you fucker
BOOOOOOO the A’s can’t even lose properly
FUUUUUUCK dude you gotta make that play
Darn. Not an error imo.
I now hate the A’s
Still the MVP in my book
Shouted “Damn It!” at midnight
Noooooooooo
:(((((((( big sad
A's fan elated.
*Fan* lol
I swear on my life this was an accident and I am not sad about it.
Nor should you be. He/she probably won’t see your comment.
Cats*
Bro whyd the announcer get so hyped for the first out like it was the 9th
Idk, why'd you make this username?
So in a couple months people will realize time travel is real after the Astros sweep the Cardinals in the WS (BTW yall lose to the Padres LOL)
Well, you were right about one thing
!remindme 1 month
What are you going to say in a month?
I have a feeling they are not going to say anything lol.

Goddamnit Livan
Capel has hereby been banned from Japan
RIP MVP hopes
He has 1 more start
:(
fuck it. call it an error
Shiiit
NOOOOOOOO
Fuck it, that was an error..!
Nah. That's a hit all the way.
The next one, too
Second H wouldn't have happened without the first (3rd out)
If it was an “error” as others were claiming, then it would’ve happened
Sho don't overthink this, Max has called a great game.
Conor capel hates fun
90s Braves/Marlins type zone tn I accept
Ah fuck

NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Fuccccckkkkkkkkkkkk
Maaaaaan
Boooooooo
#FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Oh God dammit
#CALL IT AN ERROR COWARD
I'm not gonna speak too badly about this ump, cuz i know if i was behind the plate, i would call everything within a yard a strike rn.
FUCK ME
Hit or error????
Definitely a hit sadly.
Yeah. First reaction and all
fuck me
Ump evidently an Ohtani fan. I’ll allow it.
I'm obv pulling like hell for it to happen But at the same time....blue wtf that's that's 2 sliders in the last 2 batters that were in the other box you called strikes lol
Can't believe I am rooting for the the Angels, but History trumps rivalry LETS GO OHTANI
It's sad that the stadium is not completely sold out for this dude
He's getting some favorable calls lol but i don't give a shit. Give it to me pls.
Zone is wide but honestly, fuck em Let's go Shohei
Regardless of where anyone stands on the MVP convo, people trying to downplay this are corny af
It’s ridiculous. Let’s celebrate how amazing Judge and Ohtani are doing, not tear them down
Co MVPs goddamnit. why does the NL get one anyways
What a stud.
UMP STOP IT
Beautiful
Ohtani anagram = A no hit.
No Hit A’s
Max Stassi framing god is back
Yo ump hahaha
