2010 Video/Audio highlights... Latest: Ubaldo Jimenez, first no-no in COL history

Maybe this isn't necessary, but I figured it might be a fun way to share the 'did you see that?!' moments throughout the season. Here's my first entry:

Mark Buehrle... off the foot, through the legs, nothing but palm

How many times have you seen the player with the assist throw it with his glove and the player with the putout catching the ball his bare hand. The play would almost look more normal if played in reverse.

Jimenez no-hits the Braves in Atlanta. 128 pitches, 6 walks, 7 strikeouts. 6 walks is the highest total I can recall offhand seeing in a no-hitter.

AJ Burnett no hits the Padres.

But issues 9 bases on balls.

I can't believe Braves fans were booing.

Jimenez was awesome yesterday, no doubt about it.

 

But, his 6 walks got me thinking. Which would you be more impressed by: A no-hitter with 6 walks, or a one-hitter (single) with 0 walks? The latter obviously yields fewer baserunners, and I would probably consider it a better pitching performance, but there's also something to seeing 0-0-0 on the scoreboard next to the other team.

Hits don't generally sway my opinion of a game all that much so I'd be more impressed with the 1-hitter with 0 walks. A pitcher can pitch poorly and not give up many hits, a pitcher can pitch well and give up a ton of hits. I remember watching one of Buerhle's no hitters and just not being that impressed, tons of hard hit balls right at guys, certainly didn't look nasty that day to me.

Nieves walked a good number of batters, and I believe for Dock Ellis' no-no he even walked in a run.
