Side note his initials are DC and he did it in DC, also Arraez was the one who spoiled his last attempt at a no hitter and if you noticed he gave the ball to DC
as a sox fan, i both couldn’t bare to watch(already watched him blow one and watching him blow another would shatter my heart) and also cried in the middle of a bowling alley when i got the notification. watching cease, lopez, sale, Rodon, even mccan have success warms my heart because they would have not developed into the players they have if they didn’t get the chance to leave
I probably don't need to tell any of my fellow Padres fans that the scarcity of no-hitters in the history of the team was very much a product of the team's historic mediocrity. For decades the San Diego Padres were an also-ran, or a doormat, or a source of snickering around baseball. And they deserved it. Few major league sports clubs were worse over those decades. So this is most welcome as a source of prestige. It's now two no-hitters quickly in just a couple of years. And whether or not the Padres go into the post-season, we can at least say we finally have, year after year, a baseball team we can really support proudly.
That smash up the middle in the 8th had hit all over it but Kim was well-positioned to make the 3rd out. That was as close as the Nats got, other than the bobble just before. A breeze of a no-hitter, groundouts galore.
As awesome as this game was, I’m still super disappointed in Bogaerts. He tried to give this game away. But great job for Cease! He looks like our best pitcher this season.
Orsillo is a great announcer but he needs to learn to stop talking sometimes and let the moment play out in front of him. He did something similar for Musgrove's no-hitter in 2021
