2010 NLDS Game 1 - Phillies vs. Reds (Roy Halladay's Postseason no-hitter) |  

Fun fact: He won the NL Cy Young this same year. Halladay credited Carlos Ruiz as the catalyst of his perfect game and this postseason no-hitter. "He was the best catcher I've ever thrown to and, in my opinion, the best catcher in baseball in the years I was with him," he later said. During Spring training the following year, Ruiz dressed but was out for one of the games. He left the dugout at one point and found a brown box sitting on a chair in front of his locker. It said "To: Chooch, From: Roy". When he opened the box he found an exact replica of Halladay's Cy Young award.

I was watching this in my Center City office in a suit. I just wanted to go home relax have a beer to watch the rest of the game. However, I was not going to leave until the Reds got a hit. Great memories....

Back when we regularly made it to the playoffs...good times

I miss Doc...

Halladay always gave Ruiz full credit. It wasn't an act, he was a humble man. I hope his family takes solace in knowing how many people he inspired on the field, & even the struggle against his demons will help people suffering with addiction & depression. God bless

roy’s already gone. but i still can’t believe he’s not here anymore.. it’s glorious to watch his game. god bless with roy..

Miss you doc, not the same without you

Man it was a shock when they announced his death

One walk? Wow.

Ruiz almost messed up the final out that was scary

yess

Am I one of the very few, who enjoys Pitching masterclass games like this more than offensive explosions. Got more chills from watching this knowing full well how it ends, than I did from some of the slugfests I watched live from last season

I was at that game

15:30 watch victorino smack the umps butt

That last hitter tried to trip up Ruiz by leaving the bat right in front of home plate... bush league.

We’re in that short phase of athletes that the NBA has started the last couple seasons, where legends are getting up in age and/or retiring, and young guys are beginning to make a name for themselves. Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Tim Lincecum, Clayton Kershaw, Justin Verlander, C.C. Sabathia, Max Scherzer. They’re *ALL* in the Top 15-20 Pitchers of All-Time. Then you’ve got guys who may not be the best on the hill, but they’ve revolutionized the position: like Zack Greinke, Madison Bumgarner, Chris Sale, Steven Strasburg, Gerrit Cole, David Price, Yu Darvish. We may never have a decade or so, containing so much talent on the mound ever again. We’re honestly living in a phenomenal time to watch pitchers, it’s almost a shame that they’ve had to mess with the balls to keep the game entertaining for those who don’t like pitchers duels. I get *why* they do it, it’s just a shame tho.

The graphic in the 2nd inning reminded me how good Josh Johnson was for the Marlins, for a few years he was as good as anybody.

can MLB stop putting the results in the title? "2010 NLDS Game 1 - Phillies vs. Reds (Roy Halladay's Postseason no-hitter)" the part in brackets belongs in the description. The for people who don't remember the result its almost like watching live sport.

Starts at 4:27

I don't know how I've never noticed before but on the final out I'm almost certain that the ball hit the bat in fair territory so Phillips should have been out regardless. On the 3rd bounce it looks like it hits the knob of the bat, so he should have been out,l. And even if there was no contact it still should have been interference because the bat was tossed into fair territory and it clearly made the fielders job harder. In the end it didn't matter, but he should have been called out immediately and I believe Phillips did it intentionally because throwing the bat out in front of the plate like that just isn't a natural move for a batter.

This is STILL the ONLY post-season no-hitter of the Division Era (since 1969).

lol at the 20 Mets fans who disliked this video

I remember watching this at the Cloverleaf Tavern in Caldwell, NJ.. There was 1 other Phillies fan with me who knew what was going on..... then the last out happened.. and everyone woke up... You all missed live history..

What up with the ads on this thing? Really randomly dispersed and only at the first half of the video???

I remembre this like yesterday, 10 years to 20 time fly

I have no idea how I never noticed it before but this was actually a SECOND PERFECT GAME for Roy Halladay that year. He only allowed one walk on a 3-2 count and the second pitch of that sequence at 1:08:05 was a missed call by the umpire. The ball crosses over home plate and the top part of it enters the strike zone as shown on the 'Pitch Trax'. That 2010 season from Halladay was legendary.

People sleep on that last play by ruiz

It’s such bullshit that this man never got a ring and never even got to start in a World Series game.

cool

Michael Lorenzen brought me here

That tenacious face that didn’t crack until the 27th out.

Miss u. Ace! Legend!

1995 ALDS Game 5, please! Love, this little Seattle Mariners fan (come on guys, we’ve had tons a talent, WHERE’S OUR FREAKING VISIT TO THE WORLD FREAKING SERIES?!

And now the Phillies get no hit in the world series

Jay Bruce is a Phillie... 🧐

Starts at 4:26
