Bumgarner with a no-no through 7. Would be a perfect game if not for a dropped fly ball by Blanco in right field
They should intentionally walk Bumgarner here. Set up the double play. And avoid a dangerous hitter.
Edwin Jackson, who I had no idea was still starting games in the bigs, is through six innings against SF. He just closed the sixth by blowing 97 MPH cheese by Posey, he is only at 72 pitches.
Edit: Looks like Miami released him in June, and this is his first start of the season. He was rocking a 7.11 ERA in the PCL before being called up for this, so yeah, I'm not the only one who is surprised presumably.

Mind went through a progression:
I know that name.
Pitcher, Arizona--->Boston--->somewhere
Him?
No hitter?
Actually, he had a perfect game through 5 1/3 in his previous start, so it's all the more impressive.
Obviously, he plays for a rival, but it's hard not to root for the guy after all the injuries he's been through.
Well, made it 5 2/3 today. At this pace he should have that perfect game in just 10 more starts.
And the Grandy man ends it as the first batter in the 7th.
And now Cespedes follows with a HR and Sammy trails 2-0.

I didn't see those, but I did read somewhere today people thinking TB didn't get enough for Moore.
Strikes out utley, but 109 pitches with only one out in the 8th. Hard to see him finishing this
In general, how many pitches would you allow a pitcher if he's pursuing a no-hitter?
I think 115-120.

Interesting that Righetti is in the dugout. Didn't he toss a no-no against the Sox? How many pitches did he throw in that game?
Looks like they didn't keep count back then:

If I'm Bochy and Moore says he feels ok, I tell him to go out there and do nothing but throw fastballs for strikes, and see what happens. No nibbling, no breaking balls and strain on the arm, just pitch to contact and hope for the best.
According to this, he threw 132.

Thanks, figured it was up there. Wondering if he says to Bochy, "Hey, I threw 132 when I pitched mine, and it's the only reason people know my name in a lot of places. Let him finish it."
