Matt Garza Pitches No Hitter; Rays Win 5-0
by Erik Hahmann on Jul 26, 2010 9:55 PM EDT
Email
PrintSince the day Matt Garza donned a Rays uniform he's had the best pure stuff on the team. If one Rays pitcher was going to throw a no hitter, it was going to be him. He's had his share of mental struggles over his career that tended to override his tremendous talents at times. Garza had come close in the past, notably against the Marlins and Red Sox a couple years ago. Tonight you can see what Garza is capable of when everything is right between his ears.
That was simply stunning, and utterly impressive. The Tigers had only two hard hit balls all night. While Garza had only six strikeouts, he did get 13 swinging strikes on his 120 pitches. As has been the trend lately with Kelly Shoppach, he called for fastball after fastball and Garza gladly obliged. Of those 120 pitches, 101 were heaters.
There's really not much else to say. Matt Garza was nearly perfect tonight. On national television. In a Rays uniform. Of course, he was helped out by the bat of Matt Joyce After being held hitless for 5.2 IP by Max Scherzer, the Rays loaded the bases with Joyce at the plate. After working the count full, Joyce blasted a grand slam into the right field seats, letting Rays fans breathe a big sigh of relief. The Rays also made some fine defensive plays to keep the no-no intact. Ben Zobrist made a running/leaping grab in right field, and Carl Crawford caught a ball in the 8th inning that he nearly lost in the lights.
After being on the wrong end of three no hitters in the past year, it feels FANTASTIC to get to see what it feels like on the other side. I was stuck with recapping the Braden and Jackson games this season. Redemption. We like to tell Garza to "Be the Crane" on this site, which means "calm down. relax. pitch like you know how." Tonight, he was the Crane.
Congratulations, Matt, from the entire DRaysBay community.
I'll leave you with Garza's final line and the play by play of the game's final three batters.
Matt Garza (W, 11-5): 9IP, 0H, 0R, 0ER, 1BB, 6K, 0HR.

That was incredible to see
Especially after the last start, I never would’ve guessed that he’d be able to throw a no-no this season. But to come within ONE WALK of a perfect game…dayum. Joyce’s second slam was just icing on the cake.
What’s better is that he did this against a quality lineup. No one can trash what he did out there tonight…it was just amazing.
And hey, now we’re that much better as a franchise than the Mets.

Walked out of the hospital two days later.
Apparently was a firefighter from a small town outside Dallas. Nolan Ryan came and visited him in the hospital, bringing with him a signed bat by the entire team and the ball he was going after when he took a dive off the second deck.
And yes, many LoneStarBallers have now considered jumping off the second deck just to meet Nolan Ryan.

Kapler's probably running around the clubhouse trying out the "oh my arm, it's broken!" routine to ensure safe passage to the DL.

Im trying to create a no-hitter with Verly on the show,
sad to say- it’s failing miserably.
So you can keep knocking but won't knock me down
No love lost, no love found
WHERE WAS NAVI?!?!
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FITTING AYE?

That was awesome. Started watching the game in the bottom of the fifth and shouted in excitement when Joyce hit the grand slam an inning later. God I hate Detroit.
The way the AL is shaping up, I’ll certainly be rooting for you guys in every October game [but only one october ] that Cliff Lee doesn’t start.
Garza’s always been one of my favorite pitchers in the league—I was shocked that MIN gave up on him but it’s nice to get him out of the division. Maybe Idiotic Nick Cafardo or whatever his name is can convince you guys to trade him to us.
Must not be here for baseball either. Because that isn't what we're playing.
are you serious?!
NOT 1 RUN? Wow….why did the Angels even bother getting Haren. Cliff Lee debut 2.0

Wait... so are we the only team to be perfect-gamed, no-hit, and throw a no-hitter in the same season?
I mean, I know we’re not the only team to be no hit and throw a no hitter in the same season…
but we’ve been no-hit twice this season one of which was a perfect game

This really reminds me of the WDAE commercials
Not intended to be a downer, but this reminds me of the whole “Where will you be when the Rays steal home?” ad campaign.
This team is going to the playoffs. Be there for the ride.

Jayson Stark can fuck himself.
Garza’s teammates mobbed him near the mound after a performance that left the New York Mets and San Diego Padres as the only big league teams without a no-hitter. The Rays began play in 1998 — the Padres in 1969 and the Mets in ’62.
That “I cant believe _ never threw a no-hitter for the Rays” shit was stupid.
If John Jaso somehow strikes out, it means you didn’t do your job right as an umpire.

I wasn't. It was quoted in the GDT.

Just got home
My twin brother has a deal on season tickets with a few of his colleagues.
He calls me this lunch time, says Dude I got tickets meet me at Courtside Grill off Ulmerton. We gather there, he gets started on a 2-4-1 order finishing off 4 beers, so i got driving duties.
We get to the game just as the first pitch goes.
We stayed the whole game.
YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
Wait, I got pics coming.
The level of Awesome is now AWESOME.
Witty's 2010 Draft review is full of meaty goodness. What you mean, you're vegan?! Sigh. Just read it.

After the slam the game was over. As the driver, be smart and beat the traffic next time.

I believe Matt Garza just might possibly be
The first pitcher to record a no-hitter and a save in the same season.

Scratch that
Sandy Koufax did it too.
Not bad company, though.
