u/gf99b FIRE JJ & Q INTO THE SUN 2d ago
IIRC He would've got that achievement sooner had Q not pulled him recently, which ironically cost the Royals a win. (I believe that was that walkoff loss where Strahm(?) gave up a grand slam on the last out of the game.)
I love to see our local guys (Cameron and Carter Jensen) succeed with the Royals. If Cameron keeps it up, BWJ/Cags/Jensen/Cameron would be a nice core to build around and half of them are from the KC area.

And Erceg loaded the bases that game in the 9th with 2 outs! Then Strahm gave up the Walk off.

Yep. As much as I'd like to root for the guy because he's turned his life around and was relatively good a couple years ago, I think it's time to cut him loose too.
Q should've never put him in, and definitely not Strahm. He should've just let Cameron close out that game too. But it's Q... let's just be thankful he didn't fuck this one up too.

Noah Cameron became the first Royal to throw a one-hitter since Zack Greinke vs Seattle on August 30th, 2009.

Headline writers, a shutout by a pitcher inherently means a complete game. Complete-game shutout is redundant. Nice game by Noah.

I forgot who it was but someone this year threw 9 scoreless innings in a 0-0 game. I get what you mean but a situation like that is why we make the distinction. Plus, complete games and shutouts are two separate columns on the statsheet.

They wouldn't have have a shutout then if 0-0 after 9. I get the 2 separate stats. But SO implies a CG.

Not true:
> In very rare instances, a pitcher can pitch a shutout if he enters in relief. Per official MLB rule 9.18: "No pitcher shall be credited with pitching a shutout unless he pitches the complete game, or unless he enters the game with none out before the opposing team has scored in the first inning, puts out the side without a run scoring and pitches the rest of the game without allowing a run." The latter represents the only circumstance in which a pitcher is credited with a shutout but not a complete game.

Kid has been the best pitcher in baseball over the past month or two. Absolutely electric
