Armando Gallaraga, almost good enough for a perfect game to just good enough to be in MLB
Ira Lieman
Beat me to that.

I never realized Miguel Olivo caught 2 No-No’s, although its not as rare as it seem’s (43 times) it’s still impressive.

Jeff Torborg handled a legendary pair who between them pitched eleven no-no’s (it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out who they were =)

1982 Dave Steib. . 288 IP 3.25 ERA.

Saying Robby Hammock has had job security in his career is just wrong. He just happened to sign a minor league deal with the Snakes this off season.

Not sure that I buy the premise of this article. Correlation does not = causation.

If you don’t like it, don’t read it.
elclashcombo
That doesnt make any sense.
JacksTigers
Yes it does.

See, how would he KNOW he didn’t like it if he didn’t read it? See?

Got it, from now on when I disagree with things, I’ll try your method of sticking my fingers in my ears and yelling, “LALALALALALALALA”

There are a ton of articles like this. Stating that you don’t think its relivent doesn’t help the cause at all.
Lunchbox45
i think it was meant to be more of a light hearted article.

These are the articles I like to read.

While I agree with the analysis suggested by this article, the Twins and Liriano seem to just not like each other. I don’t think he’s going to be around much longer than he has to be.

The fundamental issue with this article is that established dominant/very good pitchers that a club will naturally want to keep are more likely to pitch no-hitters. Buehrle had pitched opening day for the ChiSox from 2002-2006. Verlander pitched one in 2007, the year after he won ROY for a contending team. Lester pitched is in his breakout year of 2008, for the contending Red Sox, at the age of 24; similar situation with Buchholtz. Jimanez pitched his after signing a 4-year, $10 million extension with the Rocks and winning 15 games in 2009. Roy Halladay was the best pitcher in baseball in the premier baseball city in America when he pitched two in the same season. None of these guys were about to be traded, even before they threw no-hitters.
So really, you’re only looking at seven pitchers that are eligible for this discussion: Johnson, A-Sanchez, Zambrano, J-Sanchez, Braden, Jackson, and Garza. Out of them, three moved and Zambrano was demoted to the bullpen for a time. So it’s not as much of a steadying influence on a club as the article suggests.

While Stieb was in the bullpen during his comeback, he caught Bobby Higginson’s homer to end Roy Halladay’s no hit bid with 2 outs in the 9th. Perhaps the most incredibly unlikely scenario in baseball history.
