I think he’s at 90 pitches. He’s not going to make it. But, no matter what, a very good start. Another talented pitcher that may some day be a regular starter in MLB.
Be nice if Mo could draft and develop position players like they do pitching.

I assume he'll give a home run the second I turn the game on, so I won't.

He’s at 108 pitches with 2 out in the 7th but still has the no hitter intact. Only players can jinx. Not fans.

They are going to pull him even if he has the no hitter intact. Bader getting ready to pinch hit for him. He leads off the inning. 116 pitches with 2 innings to go. It’s the right choice.

Kid doesn't have a putaway pitch and command that comes and goes. The zone was tightening as well.
There was a 0% chance that he completed that. Even if he managed to avoid giving up hits, it would've taken him 160 pitches to do it. He just could not finish off an AB. No wipeout offspeed pitch to get them to swing through with 2 strikes, not enough velocity to throw it past and not enough command to dot the black. He just couldn't finish off ABs quickly enough to go 9. Give him a pat on the back for an incredible effort and send up the pinch hitter. It was the right call.

No, not at all. He's a throwback guy - a pitch mix pitcher who can throw a lot of shit at you to get outs.
But he scrapped the breakers in the 4th inning or so tonight. I'd guess Molina didnt like what he saw from them so they went almost exclusively fastball/changeup (really almost exclusively fastball fastball). That's the value a veteran like Yadi gives you. It got him through 7 but it also meant he had no chance for 9. Ultimately I'd say his stuff is solid 5th starter type. Mike Leake-esque. That seems underwhelming but when Mike Leake costs $80 million, he can be damn valuable.

I don’t know a damn thing about him other than he took one off his head. Was in ICU for awhile.
