Ubaldo Jimenez throws first no-hitter in Rockies history

in Rockies Game Wraps
Email
PrintUbaldo Jimenez threw a no-hitter against the Braves tonight!
Jeff will have a much longer game wrap later on, but for now let's all glory in the performance of Ubaldo Jimenez's no-hitter against the Braves. Having shut down Atlanta completely tonight, the Rockies can no longer be counted among the teams without a no-hitter in their club's history. The Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays, the San Diego Padres, and the hapless New York Mets have yet to witness a pitcher throw a no-hitter for them
I wrote that I felt good with U-Ball on the mound tonight. I didn't know it would be that good of a feeling.
GO UBALDO JIMENEZ! GO ROCKIES!

He hit 98
On the 126 or 127 pitch – Any no no is dominating – but this one felt so strong during those last 6 outs or so – like he got stronger
and he wasn't really dominant at all to start with
he definitely got stronger as the game went on

I read something once
About the time between the signal going from your eyes seeing the pitch to your brain deciding what to do and how to swing to your arms finally swinging the bat being well over half the distance the ball would travel. I’d imagine it’s even more ridiculous for Uball.
We need to find some scientists...
who could legally make clones of Ubaldo so that he could pitch every day. That way, we won’t have Hammel collapses (cough, yesteraday, cough)

Caution: Colorado teams are better than they appear.
The second no-no I've seen
The other was Chris Bosio for the Mariners. Bosio’s fastball was slower the Ubaldo’s changeup. Un. Freaking. Believable.
So does this give the team the push they need for a jump start?

Cards and Mets still scoreless into the 18th
Caution: Colorado teams are better than they appear.
If I may, my thoughts on the game
This one came up all Rockies.
1) Two on for chipper – Olivo with a uncharacteristically good defensive play, picks off the pitcher at second.
2) Ubaldo squaring up a base hit with two on.
3) Dex’s amazing catch in the 7th
4) Ubaldo’s uncanny ability to get better the more he pitches, where other pitchers tire.
5) Headwind for fly balls.
6) Arguably the best defensive line-up on the field
7) A team coming off a whooping yesterday with something to prove, against a team who provided said whooping, who may have taken the earlier ABs for granted.
im sure there’s more. Tack on more reasons why tonight was the night
May your summer be filled with Rockies wins and tacos.

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
CONGRATULATIONS, U-BALL, AND THANKS FOR BEING OUR STOPPER.
I had to work all day, and was too busy to even open the Row or GameDay….caught it from the 6th inning on in the car, and didn’t want to jinx it by coming in here. :-)
Wow, I am so thrilled for U-Ball, and for ’Dac, and Olivo, and the entire team.
