Jonathan Sanchez Throws First No-Hitter of 2009

Found July 11, 2009 on Only Baseball Matters:
PLAYERS: Randy Johnson,  Jonathan Sanchez
TEAMS: San Francisco Giants,  Washington Nationals,  New York Mets,  San Diego Padres

Awesome!!!!!!! Jonathan Sanchez, fresh off the scrap heap, the rumor mill, and possibly the bullpen; took his spot start and just missed a perfect game. Between his 2-6 record, his Dad seeing him pitch live for the first time ever, and Lincecum’s near miss last night, that was some performance. …. Among his many talents, [...]

Congrats, Jonathan Sanchez

Via Sons of Steve Garvey  |  July 11, 2009
Jonathan Sanchez celebrates after his no-hitter last night. Sanchez hugs his father. I'm not the type of Dodger fan who finds it necessary to hate the Giants in order to love the Dodgers. Don't get me wrong — I still find the Giants annoying and wish they'd stop winning already. But Jonathan Sanchez's no-hitter last night was a cool baseball moment that...

Giants’ Sanchez throws a no-hitter against Padres

Via The Scores Report  |  July 10, 2009
A San Francisco Giants’ starter has thrown a no-hitter. It must have been Tim Lincecum right? Nope. Matt Cain? Nope. Randy Johnson?! Nope. It wasn’t Barry Zito was it? Absolutely not. One night after Lincecum flirted with the same feat, 26-year-old Jonathan Sanchez, coming off a recent demotion to the bullpen, threw a no-hitter against the Padres on Friday night, as the [...]

Fresh on his return from the minor leagues, Jonathan Sanchez tossed a no-hitter for the Giants as they hosted the Padres tonight; the home team won 8-0.Too bad nobody had Sanchez in the official Batter's Box "Who Will Toss the 2009 Season's First No-No" pool.

Jonathan Sanchez's No-Hitter Reminds an Estranged Giants Fan What Fandom Is Like

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 11, 2009
As a Giants fan, I couldn't be prouder of Jonathan Sanchez. There wasn't a guy on this team who needed this moment more. After all the tough starts this season, amidst all the trade rumors that had been centering on him since June and with his Major League career possibly on the line in a meaningless game against the last-place Padres in July, Sanchez was perfect on Friday...

Closing Time: Jonathan Sanchez, three months too late

Via Roto Arcade  |  July 11, 2009
For three months Jonathan Sanchez and Bronson Arroyo did everything they could to sabotage your team, your ERA and your life. And then on Friday, with basically no one along for the fantasy ride, these two NL arms reminded us of why we wasted our money on them in the first place. Let's check Sanchez's outing first – when a guy throws a no-hitter, I suppose he has to...

Mays and McCoveyWhen I was growing up, I was actually a Giants fan as opposed to the Royals. Of course, I wasn’t from KC, so I didn’t have the same local interest someone here may have had. I just remember my dad talking about Mays all the time and so naturally I gravitated to the team. Mays, McCovey, Marichal. Having MM initials myself, to me the Giants were the modern...

The Future of Baseball: The San Francisco Giants' Rotation

Heading into this season, pretty much everyone would have put the San Francisco Giants near the bottom of the standings. A year removed from a 90-loss season, the only noteworthy addition the team made was the signing of 45-year old starting pitcher Randy Johnson.Fast forward to the All-Star break, and the Giants are a surprising 10 games over .500 with a two game lead in the Wild...
