I can't believe I got to see that as it happened.

 

I'm giddy.

Wow. Wish I knew it was a day game. Buddy texted me in the 7th inning. Said simply, turn the game on.

Expected to see 31 runs on the board, a brawl, or a no-hitter/perfect game in progress.

Thought the Lewis shot was gone, thought the last liner was over the infield.

My 13 month old couldn’t care less right now. Questioning whether he’s actually mine.

My wife walked in the front door 2 minutes after it ended. Her reaction? "A what hitter?"

This was probably the best pitched game I've ever seen. He got *28* outs, no walks, 26 of 27 first pitch strikes. Absolutely insane. Kudos John Means. Pitching out of his goddamn mind right now.

Gotta say as a non Thorne fan I would have greatly preferred his call of that game. Or at least the last out.

Gotta be Bedard v Texas


FYI:

John Means had a game score of 99 today

That's the highest by any Orioles pitcher in a 9-inning game in franchise history, surpassing two 98s by:

7/7/07 Erik Bedard
8/1/00 Mike Mussina

I was at the Tom Phoebus, no hitter back in 1968, (I was 10), then listened nervously to the Palmer hitter the next year, and only had to wait 51 years for the first single player no hitter.    51 years!!!

Guess that was wrong, I forgot about the CS.
