ALL 27 OUTS: Tyler Gilbert throws NO-HITTER in first start!! 

Facts. I almost got choked up.

I think I shed a tear

He knows he's very very very proud of his son

6:13 the reaction, that's why we love this sport

Yeah and there are 9 fathers in this world that are disappointed that their sons didn't get a single hit all game....

Great defense all around, was fortunate enough to be there

Team effort for sure.

Yea, i defense positioning was perfect. Thought two of those ABs were homers.

thats what you need to keep the pitch count down

Absolutely... as the game goes on the pressure players in that situation feel must be comparable to that of players facing elimination from contention or from the playoffs.

it's what makes it beautiful. I can almost bet you his dad was there every step and was there watching him playing in middle school, little league, high school, college, minor and then finally the show. And his debut is a no hitter which is historical. Amazing and I'd be proud if I were his dad.

@@anakinskywalker7289 I agree with everything you say. I was thinking about all of that watching these highlights. I couldn't imagine the emotion I would be feeling if that were my son. I'd be crying my eyes out man lol. This is every "sports guys/girls" dream.

Wish I had a dad

Why you gotta make me cry, T?

If you’re a D-Backs fan How much does your hospital bill cost

If you’re still a d-backs up to this point in the year, I salute you. Hard to support a team like this

same i live in az but cubs fan tho

The 17-2 Washington game was fun because peralta pitched

As a Padres fan I'm totally happy for you Riley! Rock on brother.

He's not overpowering batters in any sense. How many of those outs were stung line drives with EVs likely over 100 MPH? It's a fun story, and who doesn't love a fun story? But I wouldn't go looking for a long-term MLB career from a 27-year-old rookie. Still...you never know, right? :)

@@kyledaugherty1609 u kno degrom didn’t pitch in the majors until he was 26 right?

@@Flowerz__ Like I said...you never know. ;) I feel fairly confident that Tyler Gilbert will not be on Jacob DeGrom's level. I imagine you do as well.

@@kyledaugherty1609 I do feel that way. Just saying the fact he’s 27 should really have no bearing on what we think his projected career will be like.

i agree, gilbert is more of a pitch to contact guy

To be fair padres is a lot better than a "Borderline" playoff team, yankees maybe.

I feel like we needed this type of wake up call, our team has been going through the motions and hasn’t played with the same type of energy as last year

@@alfredoxu7926 I think that makes it worse

Exactly what I was thinking dude lol pretty cool and crazy to think about

@@alfredoxu7926 that's worse then

Right?! This could have just as easily been a early pull after giving up six runs in four innings. Baseball is weird like that.

I wouldn’t say luckiest no hitter ever cause there’s been so many no hitters and perfect games saved by dozens of diving catches and a few by home runs being robbed. but yes overall very lucky that the defense was in the perfect position on basically every single line drive

@@Chris-jt4pl agreed, luck is just one part of the equation in any no hitter

Fate was on this mans side. One of those where too much feels like a coincidence. The gods of baseball said we got this one

and in a smaller park a couple of those were homers

yeah honestly it's hard not to root against your own team when the opposition is working on a no no. it's just such a rare thing to see.

68 years!

Actually, I read that Gilbert is the 4th pitcher to do so. Gonna research that now. Edit: Yes, four pitchers accomplished this, two in the 1890's. Bumpus Jones of the Reds threw one in 1892 and was the only one of the four to do so in his very first appearance, the other three had appeared as relievers previously. Also, Jones' no-hitter was on Oct. 15, the latest in the year one was ever thrown. Ted Brittenstein of the St. Louis Browns thew one on the last day of the 1897 season, Oct. 4. This was the old Browns of the American Association, which folded after the season. The Browns, however, resurfaced in the National League as the Cardinals. The other pitcher from the modern era to accomplish this was Bobo Holloman in 1953 for the OTHER St. Louis Browns of the American League. That was his only year in the Major Leagues. His no-hitter was similar to Gilbert's in that his stuff wasn't over-powering. Browns owner Bill Veeck descibed it as such: "the quaintest no-hitter in the history of the game," saying that Holloman’s pitches were "belted" all night, but he was saved by luck and outstanding defense.

I see a hit in the first 10 seconds of the video, why is that not a hit??

Because they didn't get on base

The Dbacks seem to get a no hitter in their worst performing seasons. 2004 and 2010 were awful but this season was just tough

No love??? Not even when they beat the Yankees in the World Series??? 😁😁😁

Ik

They have been terrible for the past month+

Just needed Fernando to come back that's all

@@deucedeuce3708 Tatis needs to stay out and heal and stop re-injuring that shoulder.

@@VitalityMassage finally a padres fan who cares more about their star players future than their team winning a few games

At least it's not like perfect games and the Rays.

that's what happens when you expose your skin in Arizona

And beer!!!!

As a astros fan dude I'm happy for yall! Early on in the season I seen the losing streak and yall deserve a great pitcher!!! This was fun to watch!

My dad never attended a single game of mine even though we lived a 1/4 mile from the ballpark. That's why the final scene in Field of Dreams gets to me every time.

@@kellyjay7448 that should give u the motivation to b at all your childs games 👍

@@bigboip7657 , I never had son or I would have been playing catch and teaching him how to hit all the time.

You salty

@@jennamiller6522 Nah, it's a simple fact. And I have no investment in either of these teams. Padres kept making contact. Defense was on their A game for sure, but no way can you say that a good amount of luck wasn't required in order to not allow a single hit. It's often the case. The fact that no-hitters are so rare in baseball is evidence enough that luck has to be involved. You need A LOT of things to happen right.

@@mike_majora just like when a player hits a bloop it’s just a pop up where the fielders aren’t

@@mike_majora i was kidding. i agree that most if not all no hitters/ perfect games need A LOT of luck and for the infield and outfield to be in perfect position and make amazing plays

Yea I wonder if there's a resource that's ranked no-hitters by luck. We have expected batting average as a stat, so theoretically we should be able to go through and calculate the approximate odds of each no hitter happening

Umm, there were a dozen scorched hits right at someone. He didn’t miss very many bats.

No

@@jonahmosher3314 how about... yes?

The fielding was great too.

A lot of hard hit liners that just happened to be outs, that doesn’t look good for his future career at all

Sometimes its better to get batters into spots they get tempted at instead of just trying blowing down 100 mph down the middle sauce

I was there too, I come back to this video sometimes to relive this dramatic yet amazing experience

And then I went out with 12 of my buddies looking for a D-Backs fan to jump..

and a 3 pitch inning as well i believe

Pretty big? Quite the understatement

It’s probably all the salty Padres fans (No offense to a majority of Padres fans. I love baseball as an entirety, but not those that try to ruin the fun of the game)

@@thecalamitycoati was gonna say the same

maybe they accidentally downvoted it on their phone ... I've done that

@@geoffroi-le-Hook It’s a rookie mistake

Commentators routinely comment on no-hitters and perfect games throughout the game. It's their, uh, job. The "jinx" is from the pitcher's teammates during the game.

What a weird thing to be mad about

@@waylonbedlam792 you clearly don’t pay attention then. A very common example is Twitter. A team page will post something about it, and then everyone in the comments will start getting pissed that they jinxed it. Twitter you will see how many people get pissed off at broadcasters for “jinx”ing no hitters. It isn’t just about teammates lmao.

@@pohorex6834 You're right. Today is my first day watching baseball after falling off the turnip truck yesterday. Thank you for your stupendous insights.

@@waylonbedlam792 I’m not saying you don’t know baseball, you just don’t seem to pay attention to the fans reactions to anything, which is good. People get pissed off when announcers say stuff about it, like all the time

I wonder if more and more rookie pitchers will consider throwing no-nos now. This could be the start of something...
