@@khu7379 ??? I don’t think u understand what would happen if they just walked all the best players. They would lose the game but get a no-hitter. I’m sure every team doesn’t want to throw games intentionally like that. Imagine if someone intentionally walked the first 7 batters in the dodgers lineup. The dodgers would score basically 11 runs every inning. It should really be a no-hitter no-runs scored.
Its not that cool. Its very very hard to throw 9 hitless inning with the same pitcher because of how tired he gets and how many times the hitters see you so when a no hitter is broken up between multiple pitchers like this it loses all of its flavor sadly.
@@wisco9er536 Its a no hitter, not a shutout. And 3 pitchers throwing a no hitter is easier than just 1 person throwing a no hitter. So yeah its neat, but nowhere near as awesome as ONE PERSON pulling one off.
W12-3L 9 wins margin is gained only by Shota. And it is higher than the team's winning percentage(72-68). His literal WAR must be 9.0!! Because without him, The Cubs are in last place in the division by now.
It's not that clear cut. 9 of his starts, the Cubs have scored 7+ runs; those days almost any pitcher would get the win. Overall the Cubs have scored 5.12 runs per game average when he starts and 4.46 when he doesn't; that's going to help his win-loss record despite being something he clearly has zero control over.
Let Imanaga pitch until he gives up a hit! Pitch counts should be used FOR this situation, so that his arm isn't overused in unnecessary innings. He deserved to have a chance at his complete game no hitter
Chasing a no hitter that hard is something losers that are riding a fluke that know they'll never get another chance do. Guys that know they're mediocre and that's going to be the highlight of their career. You don't do that with a guy that's looking like he can be your ace for the next ten years.
Yeah I can’t believe it.. He wasn’t even at 100 pitches yet. Japan even has a more rigorous pitching schedule with only 4 pitchers in the rotation so he definitely had plenty left in the tank
@@Hominator917 better safe than sorry..i think the angels busted ohtani arm allowing him to pitch a shut out..he was never the same after that game last season
I can't believe none of our no hitters in my lifetime were at Wrigley but it's true. The last 4 were all on the road and Zambrano's was a neural site away game.
Paredes' 3 errors caused Imanaga to have to throw more pitches than he needed to. Thus, ruining the opportunity to complete the no-hitter. Paredes has made 9 errors in 32 games since joining the Cubs, and he is batting .170 while with the Cubs. What a bum! He stinks 👎
7 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K Recently, it's no exaggeration to say, *"When Imanga pitches, the Cubs win,"* given his outstanding performance. Today was his best outing of the season.👏
When a team is down seven nothing after three innings, it's a road game and they have tomorrow off... a no-hitter loses it's shine. Sometimes a team just gives up... and the record books won't tell you, which 'no-no' was truly earned and which wasn't.
Jim Maloney of the Reds only needed 226 pitches to throw a 10 inning no hitter vs the Cubbies at Wrigley Field in 1965 . Maloney threw 3 no hitters and should be in the hof . Today , the pitchers are treated like babies . There are hardly any complete games anymore ! Maloney , Koufax , Gibson , Marichal , Drysdale , Spahn , Bunning , Jenkins , Law , Friend and Seaver would throw several complete games every year .
While Paredes had 3 errors you have to give credit to the fans and the players for the Cubs and Pirates players for not losing their cool and booing him and Craig Counsel.
I'm not very familiar with MLB rules. Why was this considered a no-hitter? #39 made it to first at the Top of the 1st inning. I looked up the definition on Google but was confused b/c he did get a "hit' right?
WHY did they take Imanaga out?!?!?! 😡 I hate this new trend of “saving” pitchers. Nothing will be as bad as Snell being taking out of a no hitter in the 2020 WS in like the 5th inning
lol they gave Reynolds a hit and then decided halfway through the game to change it to an error so Imanaga could have a chance at a no hitter 😂😂😂😂 FRAUDS!!!!
I don't fully understand this (I am Australian and a cricket fan). Isn't a hit in baseball when someone gets to 1st base? Doesn't a batter get to first base here? Why is it still a no hitter?
Things we will never see anymore in baseball or astronomical odds. (1) nobody will ever win 25 or more games in a season (2) baseball will be lucky to see one 20 game winner per season perhaps every other season. (3) 200 innings pitched will be a rarity (4) complete games extremely rare let alone shutouts by one pitcher. No hitters will always be combined as well. (5) outside of Verlander, Kershaw & Scherzer who are all extreme long shots, YOU WILL NEVER SEE A 300 GAME WINNER EVER AGAIN! (6) I highly doubt we will see maybe a handful of 200 game Winners in the next 100 years. (7) probably most you don’t really care? To me it’s a shame. It’s semantics but explain why if young arms are being protected why are their so many surgeries & injuries. Taught to throw harder & not taught finesse. All the goodness is stripped away. To think most critics believe Greg Maddux wouldn’t be a success in today’s game? Probably the biggest study of the game. So sad, so brutally sad.

Great job by everyone. GO CUBS!!! Was fun to watch. Great video

Fun to watch Imanaga pitching
How this his first year when he 31, years old he isnt gona be in the MLB for that many years

12-3 is on par for getting 100 wins in a season, what's crazy is you would need a team FULL of shotas to be able to achieve that
thats not how WAR works

Bruh he 31 years old it really dont matter

I was thinking the Cubs 2024 were a tanking team, then Imanaga is boosting the morale and the Cubs are on fire.

Imanaga senpai
Inamanga baby, Rookie of The Years baby.
Literally going to Chicago today to watch them play the Yankees
Pitcher Shota Imanaga is the best! He's like Mets pitcher Senga last year.
I wish Perfect Games were more common as well.
SHOTA IMANAGA🇯🇵🗾12
For a second I thought Imanaga threw a no-hitter and I clicked so damn fast haha
4:10 the camel is watching
Imanaga going HAM out there

it's a road game and they have tomorrow off... a no-hitter loses it's shine.
Sometimes a team just gives up... and the record books won't tell you,
which 'no-no' was truly earned and which wasn't.
Now, this is what I call perfect defense aka 絶対防御
0:39 When did they change that to an error? That should have been in highlights?
出来ることなら今永に完投させてあげたかったね。
いい投球だったと思うよ。完封試合おめでとう！無安打のおまけつき！
Post the full game highlights already
Jim Maloney of the Reds only needed 226 pitches to throw a 10 inning no hitter vs the Cubbies at Wrigley Field in 1965 .

De La Cruz hit 0:47 and made it safe to first base in the top of the 2nd. Did that not count as a hit?
Not saying Cubs can win the WS. But this was as good as ive seen them play in a while.
This feels like 2015, the year before they won the last one
Imanaga teacher！ shota Phd！
nice pitching M:I2
今永先生、リリーフの皆さんおめでとう！！
来年、東京ドームで逢いましょう❤😃❤
Cubs should have kept imanaga in some pitchers throw 140 pitches in a game, hunter green did it.
I agree, but look where Greene has been. On the IL...
I take back what I said then
Imanaga is literally the real life version of Sawamura Eijun from DNA
That Catchers Glove at 4:10 tho camel 🐫

was it the fielder's choice?
It was changed to an error.
@@P0PP0bird So if there's an error, it doesn't count like a hit?
taking him out is a disgrace. the guy wasn't even at 100 pitches???
It's only a no hitter if ONE pitcher completes the game.

Yeah that’s an error
I can't get excited about a multi-pitcher no hitter.
