Halladay...wow

[Texas Chili Dog]

First person to throw two no-hitters in one season since Nolan Ryan in 1973. And the first person to throw a no-hitter in the playoffs since Don Larsen's famous perfect game in the 1956 World Series.

[JamStone]

Guess that's answers the question whether he could do it in the post-season... yeah wow!

[RedsLakers24]

He was also getting a big strike zone from the ump.

[crc21209]

I was going to post a "No hitter alert" thread when he had it in the 8th so far but didnt wanna jinx it. :lol The guy is a beast...

[Steve Kerr]

He was also getting a big strike zone from the ump.
lol sour grapes

[resistanze]

Roy is da truth.

[RedsLakers24]

Cabrera: "He and the umpire pitched a no-hitter. He gave him every pitch. Basically, we had no chance"

[ducks]

no hitters have to do with throwing strikes getting calls and great d

Nah, i loss is a loss, it still feels better then watching another team play in the playoffs cause your team didnt make it. On Friday the reds will win.

[Fpoonsie]

I was AS impressed w/ the Phillies' D as I was w/ Halladay's pitching.

Either way, pretty cool.

[Das Texan]

Didnt see any real noticeable difference between what the Reds got and what the Phillies got at the plate.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I hate the Phillies but have always been a big Halladay fan. Props to him, that was an amazing performance.

[Das Texan]

Further...


The Phillies saw 140 pitches. 24 were called strikes.

The Reds saw 104 pitches. 23 were called strikes.

Maybe Volquez shoulda been better at pitching today.

[Jacob1983]

Can you believe that was his playoff debut? That performance has to be the best performance for any athlete in their playoff debut in any sport.

I agree. This was just "meh."

[Greg Oden]

holy hell redfan is asspained

[EricB]

red fan taking after their whiny ass manager.

Trickling down to the position players I see.

[JamStone]

28 batters faced, 25 first pitch strikes. Insane.

:lol The guy pitched the first no-hitter in a playoff game since 1956 and you give him no credit whatsoever...wow. Add on that this was his playoff debut as well....

I wouldnt count your chickens just yet, Oswalt had a better ERA in September than Halladay did.

[lefty]

Ah, Blue Jays fans must be thrilled

[badfish22]

:wow

Great fucking point ducks

[EricB]

Under 2 ERA.

Yeah Im sure the Reds are gonna go all Colorado Rockies with roid balls on em.

[Kai]

Ah, Blue Jays fans must be thrilled

I would imagine they are all actually pretty happy for the guy. It's Toronto's fault it took this long for his post season debut.

[DeadlyDynasty]

:lol The guy pitched the first no-hitter in a playoff game since 1956 and you give him no credit whatsoever...wow. Add on that this was his playoff debut as well....

and he also had an rbi single:lol

[symple19]

I tried to read this thread, but got to ducks and gave up

Halladay is a pimp. period.

[lefty]

Actually they are happy for him

[Rummpd]

Would love to see Halliday vs. Cliff Lee (who also was a stud yesterday, building on an incredible body of post season work) in a 7th deciding game -might have two no hitters going into the final innings.

+1

Another thing to appreciate about these two is that the game goes by much faster when they are pitching. The game doesn't drag on forever when they're on the mound

[rjv]

awesome feat. phillies are just loaded with pitchers. i just can not see anyone beating them this year

[Kermit]

No way! Roy Oswalt sucks balls. Just ask Ducks.

[gaKNOW!blee]

lmao the hardes hit ball from your team was by your rookie relief pitcher :lol

halladay had more hits than the reds :lol

[BRHornet45]

take steroids out of baseball and it returns to the way it used to always be ... a pitchers game.

[RedsLakers24]

I wouldnt count your chickens just yet, Oswalt had a better ERA in September than Halladay did.\

The problem for the Reds isnt Oswalt, its Arroyo, lefties are hitting 285 agaisnt Arroyo this year, and the Phillies are loaded with Lefties, which is why Dumbass Baker shoudl've went with Wood instead of Arroyo.
