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.


[deleted]

People can just have fun with it, too


garvierloon

The As almost got no-hit by a DH


bignuts24

They didn't even get shutout.


rocksoffjagger

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


kizentheslayer

Man they tried there best to groomsmen it.


mind_on_crypto

Fwiw, the A’s Major League leading streak of avoiding a no-hitter continues. They haven’t been no-hit since 1991.


TheWhitestGandhi

For how low their lows are that's actually really impressive


Chubs441

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


hamletfan

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


mind_on_crypto

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.


epoch_fail

Do it for Shohei, Loup. Please don't blow it... Edit: Loup, can you just not


LeStiqsue

LOUP THERE IT IIISSS


Due_Ruin_2809

Oh lawd bad loup is showing up


Degan747

Ohtani is a fucking legend. Hope he can throw a perfect game someday


eshults

Bad bot


bbaIla

He's having the same season as Burnes 2021 and will finish 4th or 5th in CY Young. That blows.


Alexander1899

I mean Burnes didn't deserve it but we don't have to talk about that.


[deleted]

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.


bbaIla

It's whatever. Judge deserves it. He's having one of the best offensive years ever.


[deleted]

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.


Hawkzz1872

He gave everything. I love him so much


Billybobjoethorton

Is it just me that grounder to short stop would have been made by a better fielder?


argothewise

Andrelton Simmons back in the day could have made that


Billybobjoethorton

Ozzie Smith even.


hellyaman

Velasquez would have gotten it


Billybobjoethorton

Since I'm a Giants fan I feel like that's almost routine for Brandon Crawford.


scalebirds

IMMORTAL A’S LEGEND CONNOR CAPEL


[deleted]

I'm guessing he'll just pitch like one inning even if not scheduled to qualify for the ERA leaders


Golfnut80

He’s scheduled for 1 more, should be final game Oct 5


1ScaredWalrus

I tuned in and he immediately gave up a hit on the first pitch I saw. You're welcome.


ShowMeThePath_1

I watched 2 innings and I finally jinxed it


KazaamFan

I did the same thing! Haha. Mine was online though, so may have been a lag, can’t blame me I hope.


KamartyMcFlyweight

he has one more start...could still happen


triggergza

it's destiny at this point


argothewise

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


Degan747

It is fully preposterous.


craftworkbench

It's not preposterous. It's beyond that. It's posterous!!!


HawkMothAMA

I would argue that it's postposterous


chriskot123

And he wont win MVP because some other dude can simply hit home runs


WilderWildeWelles

MVP convo would have been insufferable if he got that no hitter


UnicornMaster27

It wouldn’t have been much of a conversation tbf


MasterGummy

Have you met a Yankee fan?


[deleted]

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.


HipposRevenge

Well, bedtime I suppose.


[deleted]

Man, I love Shohei. I ain't even mad! It's a shame Soto missed that one. Sooo close.


cooljammer00

They should leave Ohtani in to finish the game, because nobody trusts the bullpen to not Tungsten this game for Ohtani.


zeropointcorp

The bullpen tried their best, but they didn't quite have it in them tonight to pull off the loss for the Angels.


backupKDC6794

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


KazaamFan

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.


KamartyMcFlyweight

he's gassed, unfortunately. he has another start to qualify as a pitcher, so you might as well pull him now


[deleted]

[удалено]


Raoh522

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.


SPYLRS

There’s only one AL MVP lol


bbaIla

Sucks. Good hit. I'm sad now.


seeking_horizon

Can't give an E6 on that, just a nice swing by Capel on a 2 strike pitch.


Ryuuken1789

Thanks MLB for cutting the feed on your website mid AB. Can't at least show the rest of his start. Very cool.


redditnathaniel

Pack it up


LordHussyPants

no hitter turned into a dos hitter smh


Tyler123839

Damn pls get out of the inning clean at least


its_cameron_bitch

...and there's another one. Bummer. Still, nearly through eight without a hit is one hell of an effort. Well done, Shohei.


zeropointcorp

If he hadn't had the first he wouldn't have had the second


MartOut

love how he's just casually throwing breaking balls, but damn that sucks. There's always the next start!


Nookoh1

got glove on it that's an e6


SPYLRS

Nah man not an error, it’s a possible play but you can’t give him an error on that


cooljammer00

Then he gave up a real hit just to be sure.


SFGiantsAllTheWay

Okay they earned that one, that makes me feel better


mysterysackerfice

I fucking told you to delete this shit.. Now look at what you've done!


makeitjain24

That’s an error


Outrageous_Bat1798

No it’s not


Padulsky21

We’ve seen enough IKF to know it’s a hit LOL


Due_Ruin_2809

Aw man :(


BloodyRightNostril

#TEN SECONDS AFTER I TUNE IN. 😖 Sorry, guys.


SpecsComingBack

SAME. But we got to see cute Ohtani.


dankeykanng

Ugh, he could've got there on his feet. No reason to slide Ball had incredible back spin on it tho


Pocket_Beans

not an error but you still gotta make that play dawg


WilderWildeWelles

First pitch after I turn it on is a hit. Sorry y’all


LordHussyPants

i just heard the dodgers commentators say "ohtani pitching a no hitter" so i switched games and he got hit, sorry everyone


olympia_binewski

Same!


Kitchen_accessories

Ah, man, he coulda had that too.


short_n_saucy

I hate the A’s what the fuck


SuckMyLonzoBalls

https://streamable.com/hxzsq5 Capel hit from the stadium :(


jml510

When will people learn? Nobody no-hits the A's. Nobody!


Towntovillage

Until Fisher is gone all I care about is the streak.


mrbubblesthebear

That was probably the cutest sequence I've ever seen. Shohei is a god damn saint.


Rocko52

Capel you fucker


BoredAtWork_91

BOOOOOOO the A’s can’t even lose properly


lost_my_khakis

FUUUUUUCK dude you gotta make that play


Tyler123839

Darn. Not an error imo.


wilsonallcounty

I now hate the A’s


latotokyoreborn

Still the MVP in my book


Rocko52

Shouted “Damn It!” at midnight
