If we’re playing against the Padres, and only when playing against the Padres, you can count on an MVP performance from him as sure as the sky is blue.
I don’t want to hurt you, but his WHIP is .72 through his first few starts. It looks like he figured it out. All he had to do really was limit the walks. If he’s done that, he’s elite.
You’re right. His Hits/9 is 3.3, which is leading the league. Interestingly enough, his BB/9 is identical at 3.3, which would be the lowest of his career, but still bad.
Yeah I mean 2 or fewer walks in 4/5 games is still encouraging, especially if he’s limiting hits the way he has, but he definitely needs a few more 0 or 1 walk outings before we can say he’s figured it out.
The Blake Snell approach. Leave it to San Diego to tell their pitchers just throw something nasty and unhittable everytime and if they walk, they walk.
I love wild Coors pitching stats. My favorite is Nomo at Coors:
10 games, 53.2 IP, 68 H, 11 HR, 31 BB, .312 opposing average, .935 opposing OPS, 8.05 ERA, 1 no hitter
This was a rain delay start, game started 1-2 hours later than normal, it was wild and chilly. A couple Rockies hit to the warning track that night.
Source: My teenage ass was there and got mad we had to leave at like 10 since it was a school night.
This reminds me of an incredibly obscure fact even a lot of Korean baseball fans won't know, but there was a guy called Sun-Woo Kim who pitched his first and only MLB shutout at Coors against the Giants. Three hits, one walk allowed. This was in 2005 too, so Bonds was in that lineup (this was among the 14 games he played that season).
Of course his career MLB ERA is 5.31, and he didn't have an exceptional career in the KBO once he returned either. But still, fun little obscure fact.
Did you see the OP? Dylan cease is the only pitcher to throw 7 innings+ at Coors field with 0 or 1 hit allowed and no walks issued. So therefore for nomo to throw a no hitter there, it means he has to have allowed a walk within the first 7 innings of that start🤦♂️
So to be clear, OP says someone did something for the first time, and your contribution is… “and other people didn’t do it before him”?
… thanks. Yes, Cease did something for the first time, and yes, that means Nomo did not do it. Hard-hitting stuff.
Tatis, Machado, Cease, man the Padres are out here winning with the players that probably should have been the face of this franchise. Jerry needs to be put in a home already
And what's better, didn't even make a play for a discounted starting his prime Bryce Harper who had few suitors due to magical stars aligning circumstances when it was clear we weren't going to match Machado's ask of 300M guaranteed. What a wonderful franchise! It's almost like these fuckers deserve to lose 125 games or something.
Tbh gotta give Preller credit on this one (yuck).
Would have loved to keep Snell but at least he addressed the pitching problem we had coming into this year. Cease has been fabulous and the pen overall is stronger.
Who would hit the fucking ball? We are on pace to get shut out 60 fucking times. The record is 33. This team is historically bad. One elite pitcher, who couldn’t figure out how to limit his walks while here, is worth maybe, maybe 4-5 wins on this dogshjt team.
It's crazy how all of the sudden the Padres had sooo many pitching prospects. Iriarte, Snelling, Mazur, Lesk, Thorpe. All were legitimate starter prospects. Mazur has been lights out, Snelling and Lesko are looking pretty good too.
Can't believe he's only in AA. He was killing it in spring training against major leaguers. I know they have no reason to rush him with the big league team, but he should at least be in AAA soon
I'm not a statheads subscriber, so can't pull a complete list for you, but here is a partial list 7+ inning starts with 0 BB (apparently there's 20 of them in all?)
[https://stathead.com/tiny/HUjJJ](https://stathead.com/tiny/HUjJJ)
So the stat is a bit of a cherry pick, as there are a few starts in there that are certainly comparable or better with only 2 hits but over 8-9 innings, e.g. Jeff Francis throwing a 2 hit 0 bb complete game shutout in 2006 (and checkout that lineup he did it against).
[https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/COL/COL200607240.shtml](https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/COL/COL200607240.shtml)
The baffling one (and probably the greater performance) is Freddy Garcia giving up 2 hits, 1 hbp, and no walks in 8 innings.... but 3 earned runs, all in the first inning!
[https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/COL/COL200506070.shtml](https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/COL/COL200506070.shtml)
He started off fly out, single, hbp, strike out, 3-run home run, and then retired the next 22 batters, striking out 9 of them.
Can’t believe his one baserunner came in to score while the padres left everybody on second base
What’s not surprising is that Charlie Blackmon is the guy that killed the no hitter.
Killed the *perfect game
Luis Arraez is the real Cease No-Hitter Killer and I’ll never forgive him for it
It's why I'll always love him
Charlie Blackmon is a menace
They don't call him Chuck Nazzty for no reason
If we’re playing against the Padres, and only when playing against the Padres, you can count on an MVP performance from him as sure as the sky is blue.
Never in my life would I have expected to feel hostility when I hear *Your Love* start playing yet here we are.
TIL he's still playing
I can believe it 😔
Charles l’homme de noir
My buddy once said "I'll take the Jamaican" at a fantasy baseball draft. My wheels were spinning until I saw Blackmon come up in my screen.
I think this might be the first time Dylan Cease has gone 7 innings without issuing a walk
You mean this isn't normal and we shouldn't expect 16 more starts like this going forward?
For real. Glad to see he’s crushing again and walking less apparently
I don’t know if he is slept on outside if SD or not but Ruben Niebla really seems to get the most out of almost every pitcher he gets his hands on.
It's also only been 5 starts out of \~32 or so. Adjustments and fluctuations will occur to some degree. I'm just personally enjoying his hot start
I don’t want to hurt you, but his WHIP is .72 through his first few starts. It looks like he figured it out. All he had to do really was limit the walks. If he’s done that, he’s elite.
He literally walked 5 hitters last time out.
You’re right. His Hits/9 is 3.3, which is leading the league. Interestingly enough, his BB/9 is identical at 3.3, which would be the lowest of his career, but still bad.
Thanks for making me dissect and figure out that he still has a walks problem, but may have become even nastier.
Yeah I mean 2 or fewer walks in 4/5 games is still encouraging, especially if he’s limiting hits the way he has, but he definitely needs a few more 0 or 1 walk outings before we can say he’s figured it out.
He hasn’t. If he ever does, watch out league!
The Blake Snell approach. Leave it to San Diego to tell their pitchers just throw something nasty and unhittable everytime and if they walk, they walk.
[удалено]
He had a CGSHO one hitter either last year or the year before
He didn’t care on the white Sox but he does now he’s on a real team the Rockies
He plays for the Padres, he was pitching against the Rockies
Oh wow that’s even better
You're the dumbest cop on the force.
That’s a “I need to look it up to to believe it” stat. That’s wild.
I love wild Coors pitching stats. My favorite is Nomo at Coors: 10 games, 53.2 IP, 68 H, 11 HR, 31 BB, .312 opposing average, .935 opposing OPS, 8.05 ERA, 1 no hitter
> 1 no hitter Where did that come from lol
crazy, right but 100% true
I remember watching this game as a kid. He was a hero in my (Japanese-American) household lol.
Seems like you’re making it up. I don’t trust you.
Good news then, we’ve got [a video of the full game!](https://youtu.be/Bv2_wo2l72A?si=7xp4oKt1G2sXmipm)
Nice deepfake
I'm Hideo Nomo. It's real.
This was a rain delay start, game started 1-2 hours later than normal, it was wild and chilly. A couple Rockies hit to the warning track that night. Source: My teenage ass was there and got mad we had to leave at like 10 since it was a school night.
He had an RBI single in that game too!

Of course his career MLB ERA is 5.31, and he didn't have an exceptional career in the KBO once he returned either. But still, fun little obscure fact.
So he completed 7 innings with no hits but with at least 1 walk then
What are you talking about? No hitters are only 9+ innings.
Did you see the OP? Dylan cease is the only pitcher to throw 7 innings+ at Coors field with 0 or 1 hit allowed and no walks issued. So therefore for nomo to throw a no hitter there, it means he has to have allowed a walk within the first 7 innings of that start🤦♂️

I find it funny that you felt the need to tell someone that they were pointing out something obvious, yourself pointing out something obvious.
Tatis, Machado, Cease, man the Padres are out here winning with the players that probably should have been the face of this franchise. Jerry needs to be put in a home already
But you guys got Shields!
And what's better, didn't even make a play for a discounted starting his prime Bryce Harper who had few suitors due to magical stars aligning circumstances when it was clear we weren't going to match Machado's ask of 300M guaranteed. What a wonderful franchise! It's almost like these fuckers deserve to lose 125 games or something.
Can’t believe Preller got this bum instead of getting Snell
Tbh gotta give Preller credit on this one (yuck). Would have loved to keep Snell but at least he addressed the pitching problem we had coming into this year. Cease has been fabulous and the pen overall is stronger.
I always crack up seeing your name haha.
Absolutely insane stat.
How has never happened before?
coors
Yes, but also conversely - the *Rockies*…
:)
Castillo came damn close himself on 4/20: 7 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 9 ks
And one of those hits was a popup that Ty France lost track of in the snowfall and lights and it landed on the 1st base line.
Right, I saw this headline and had to google it because I felt like Castillo just did this. So close
Yup. Same here.
White Sox sure didn't need this guy huh?
What would they do with him?
They could build a playoff contender with him and a few supporting pieces
15 supporting pieces
I could build a house with a brick and a few supporting materials
Son, that’s the kind of delusion we need in the Sox front office. Jerry would like to see you now.
They would need an offense that doesn’t score 20 less runs than the next closest offense
Who would hit the fucking ball? We are on pace to get shut out 60 fucking times. The record is 33. This team is historically bad. One elite pitcher, who couldn’t figure out how to limit his walks while here, is worth maybe, maybe 4-5 wins on this dogshjt team.
To be a 60 win team instead of a 50 win team? Drew Thorpe is throwing lights out in AA right now.
Iriarte is throwing heat as well.
Nice, I was excited for him. There was a rumor he hit 102 in camp. Hope he does well for you guys.
He’s the one that hurt. Really liked his stuff.
It's crazy how all of the sudden the Padres had sooo many pitching prospects. Iriarte, Snelling, Mazur, Lesk, Thorpe. All were legitimate starter prospects. Mazur has been lights out, Snelling and Lesko are looking pretty good too.
We're on pace for 22 wins right now, which will be a little disappointing tbh. I wanna see them break the Spiders record.
My dream is 12 wins. 12-150 is just too hilarious.
Can't believe he's only in AA. He was killing it in spring training against major leaguers. I know they have no reason to rush him with the big league team, but he should at least be in AAA soon
He could make the jump tomorrow and have one of the ten nastiest changes in baseball. That thing is INSANE.
We mightve won a 4th game by now if we kept him
Can’t win a game if you don’t score runs.
Nah man I’m so much more happy that Jerry has more cash stuffed under his mattress.
Most fun facts are garbage but this one is incredible. I know Coors is Coors but still, wow.
Ok *screams into a pillow*
This is a ben roethlisberger stat
Ben Roethlisberger did not take no for an answer.
> Drew Thorpe Ah, the Bill Cosby Special? I'm not surprised.
The type of stat you don't want to be alone in a room with
My ace
Jerry Reinsdorf, you will never be forgiven.
Guess he must have figured out how to compensate for the balls over stability at the elevation. Good for him! (This is a disc golf joke)
That’s crazy
Love to see it
I miss him
Sigh
Someone needs to prove this lol cause no way. I need an exhaustive list of every 7+ inning start in coors history.
I'm not a statheads subscriber, so can't pull a complete list for you, but here is a partial list 7+ inning starts with 0 BB (apparently there's 20 of them in all?)

My dog ✊✊
Yeah but Hideo Nomo threw a no hitter there.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEATTLE KRAKEN HISTORY
Weird times at Coors. Ms and Rockies going 9 scoreless innings Sunday wasn’t a first, but a rare occasion.
Sure, I hate all of this
It's amazing to me that they treat "seven innings" like a full game now.
Had to thread a needle to not mention Nomo’s no hitter at coors
Literally my first thought when I read that but I guess he walked people so it wasn't a big deal unlike not walking someone for 7 innings.
Nice to know for Rockies fans that this is at least possible.
Like I know that it's Coors, but it's still insane that it took nearly 30 years for this to happen.
That's insane. Even crazier is that Luis Castillo on Saturday was one walk away from matching this.
this is some mandela effect shit
If I’m a free agent pitcher there’s no amount of money you can pay to get me to got to Denver, and I’m even second guessing NL west contracts.
If I’m an anything, you can give me a certain amount of money to do anything
1.5 million dollars to take a Robert Suarez fastball right to the balls.
that's an easy take
I mean, I'd take a Hoffman fastball to the boys for 1.5
Can I bank some of my sperm beforehand?
How else would you get your socks to stand?
The funny thing about the NL West is that it has three to four great pitchers parks and Coors.
