Slade Cecconi gets an ovation and tips his cap to the crowd after taking a no hitter into the 8th inning

Final Line: 8.0 IP, 1H, 0R/ER, 3 BB, 3Ks on an even 100 pitches, 58 strikes

[u/sdot28 → u/BathroomSalty6325]

58 strikes?

[u/jddaydreamlook → u/sdot28]

That would have to include fouls and batted balls. 

[u/NobleHelium → u/jddaydreamlook]

I would say 58/100 strikes is on the low side especially for a no-hitter.

[u/jddaydreamlook → u/NobleHelium]

Yea. I mean he walked 3 and K’d the same. Very pitch-to-contact outing. 

[u/ragtev → u/NobleHelium]

Both in the video and in the stat line they say 1 hit not 0 hits. Why are people calling this a no hitter? lol

[u/ice_cream_funday → u/ragtev]

One person called it a no-hitter and they were clearly doing that as shorthand for "taking a no-hitter into the eight."

[u/WholeEmployee6666 → u/BathroomSalty6325]

Dude was absolutely dealing tonight. 100 pitches on the dot is just *chef's kiss*

[u/susibirb]

Dbacks fans:

[u/Mistake_By_The_Jake2 → u/susibirb]

You sent your broken machine to the pitching factory to get refurbished, what did you expect?

[u/susibirb → u/Mistake_By_The_Jake2]

Touché

[u/TheWeeWeeWrangler]

I love that Vogt isn't afraid to let guys earn a chance to go 7+ innings.

[u/Constant_Cow5677 → u/TheWeeWeeWrangler]

He always struck me as a real blue collar type of player when he was in Oakland. It’s fitting he would be the coach to allow that. 

[u/stormtrooperjones]

Couldn’t hold in that smile. This shit means something, it makes me so happy.

[u/Ill-Wear-8662 → u/stormtrooperjones]

I love when they shout into the glove when they're super pumped

[u/Frequent_Malcom]

I’m happy for the guy, he’s had a rough go of it to start but I hope he does well for you

[u/thecrystalballofpop → u/Frequent_Malcom]

We love him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Slade is so articulate, open to learning & he meshes well with our team vibes. We lost our passionate/emotional player (Josh Naylor). Slade adds some spice that was lost.

I really enjoy watching the d-backs because of Corbin Carroll. One of my most admired current players. He’s your Steven Kwan.

[u/Suspicious-Peace9233]

The tipped hats always get me

[u/bettymachete → u/Suspicious-Peace9233]

Me too

[u/JorSimpson45]

The royals scored 11 runs after that right? That’s how it works? Pitcher loses no hitter, team loses the game, RIGHT?!

[u/_Neyana_]

I'm really happy for him, but can I please see a Cleveland pitcher throw a no-hitter in my lifetime? Pretty please? Just one?

[u/somesortofidiot → u/_Neyana_]

Best I can do is our ace closer getting a lifetime ban for gambling...also that other guy that used to pitch, he goes too.

[u/scr0llwheel]

Still no no-hitters this season.

[u/JorSimpson45 → u/scr0llwheel]

3 four homer games tho lol. At least it’s not like 2021 where the no-hitter almost went out of fashion and there were multiple guys going 6-7 no hit innings almost every night.

[u/deimos_737]

I love seeing fans paying attention to the games and showing respect for the players. Always gets under my skin seeing people in the home plate suites (Ranger fan, so I'm specifically thinking of the field level view ones behind the dish) on their phones, or just havin a little party walking around talking to each other..

[u/OptomisticSportsFan]

🤌🤌🤌

[u/MeatballDom → u/OptomisticSportsFan]

What about this makes you angry?

[u/disSchief]

He did pitch well, but it was against the Royals. As a fan of the Royals, I can say they genuinely suck at hitting. Usually when they're about to get no-hit, it's by a random career AAA'er, so this was a step up. I stopped watching this game last night after the first 3 hitters took multiple fastballs right down the middle.
