44-year-old Jamie Moyer no-hitter alert

[Simon_Cowbell]

Thru 6.

Low-hit game for his career: 2-hitter.... in 1986.

 

[Mayfly]

Perfect, the week I move up to Vermont for a bit, I have the Sunday Plan to the Phillies, and this happens. Just my luck.

 

[spnited]

Prediction:

Not only will Moyer not pitch a no-hitter, the Phils bullpen will blow the game.

 

[Mayfly]

I bet he'll lose the no-hitter but the Phillies will win.

I like it. But who will it be? Gordon? Madsen? Mitch Williams in a guest appearance?

 

[beefncheddar]

I bet he'll lose the no-hitter but the Phillies will win.

You haven't been watching the Phils this year, huh?

Believe me I have. They are killing me more and more each day.

Now THAT'S a man that knows his Phillies baseball.

I was at Millwood's gem against the Giants. I have faith in Moyer. Probably right as I say this, he'll lose it by giving up a home run.

 

[beefncheddar]

Nah, they're batting, still.

FWIW, Marlins are a good team for him to pitch against. Pretty free swingers. And I posted it on the MLB thread, but you could tell Moyer was on early. He struck Uggla out in the 1st with the "fastball." Winged about six or seven offspeed pitched up there and then "blew" the 80-mph heat past him. Guy is amazing.

Compared to his 72 MPH curveballs and stuff, the 80-mph must look like cheddar.

 

[Simon_Cowbell]

I just can't see major leaguers getting mystified the third time through against a softball pitcher.

I've seen Moyer once each of the past three seasons and he's been tougher later in the game than earlier.
Guy has something going for him.
The easy trivia of the day: Who is his father-in-law?

 

[markvid]

Digger!

 

[silvershadow1981]

This home half of the sixth might be too long. Nice two-out hit by Jayson Werth (who made a tremendous catch earlier) to give Jamie some breathing room though.

And now another walk and a pitching change for the Marlins.

Moyer will be 46 by the time he pitches again.

 

[ondeadline]

Only 69 pitches through six innings.

 

[zeke12]

I honestly don't think Moyer throws hard enough for his arm to get tight.

 

[beefncheddar]

Well, that ends the sixth. Here comes Moyer.
