Rockies 4, Braves 0: No-No for Ubaldo!
Ubaldo Jimenez is obviously a member of a superior alien race come to dominate the baseball galaxy. I for one welcome our new overlords.
Jimenez shut down the Atlanta Braves on a windy Saturday night, striking out seven and walking six (all in the first five innings). And oh yeah, no hits allowed. Only the first time that's happened in Rockies history (or by a pitcher with a name starting with U). No big deal or anything. Jimenez went to the stretch for all hitters after the fifth inning and retired every hitter he faced thereafter, throwing a career high 128 pitches in all. And he was throwing 98 on those last few pitches. Ubaldo may be a freak of nature, but he's our freak of nature.
It's not like the Braves are slouches either--it's a tough lineup up and down, and Jimenez was THE MAN. I can't emphasize that point enough.
Jimenez was assisted not only by the strong wind blowing in at Turner Field but also by a phenomenal play by CF Dexter Fowler, who made a diving catch in left-center on a Troy Glaus line-drive in the seventh. What's that UZR? Dexter Fowler is a horrible fielder? Not tonight. Tonight was simply magical, one of the best moments I've ever experienced in my time as a baseball fan.
Here's the list of no-hitters in NL history. Only the Mets and the Padres don't have a pitcher on that list.
Jimenez also knocked in a run to help his cause during the Rockies' three run fourth. Carlos Gonzalez returned to the lineup after a four game hiatus and provided two hits and two RBI, while Brad Hawpe also added three hits, but all the support Jimenez needed came on a first inning sacrifice fly by Troy Tulowitzki, driving in Gonzalez. But let's be honest, the offense was a mere footnote to the beast on the hill.
Box Score
More after the jump.
We Bow Before the Greatness of: Ubaldo Jimenez (.320 WPA pitching, .095 WPA hitting)
We Salute: Carlos Gonzalez (.157), Brad Hawpe (.060)

Agreed!
Congratulations to Ubaldo and the Rockies on this accomplishment yesterday! I saw it shown on the Diamondbacks game last night, as their announcers were giving many kudos to both Ubaldo and the Rockies :) ESPn kept showing it over and over too as I was at dinner with friends at Buffalo Wild Wings :)

Ubaldo owns.
And Olivo caught Sanchez' no hitter
That’s it, sorry CDI, but Olivo catches U-Ball every time through the rotation. That should be good for another 4-5 no-nos this year.

But given that the Rays are the only AL team, it would make sense to just list them all.
I linked to the NL list so it made more sense to only mention those two teams.

Just noticed Holliday changed his number to 7. Wonder why?

Well...
He can’t wear #5 for obvious reasons, maybe #7 was his second choice but DeRosa had that one last year.
maybe. but he wore 15 last year.
Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything. ~Toby Harrah, 1983
Right
Players do change numbers though. Tulo wore #14 when he first got called up but switched to #2 the next season… I think #2 wasn’t available when he got called up but it was the next season.
Funny that he didn't do it for us then
I mean, during his first couple of years with the Rockies #7 was worn by Rene Reyes and JD Closser. Or did he just honor Mantle because he can’t have #5?
I think he's wearing #7 to honor the Unicorn

It was really a sneaky no hitter
At first I was thinking, man Ubaldo’s kind of struggling and after the 4th or the 5th I look up and say “Wow!!! He hasn’t given up any hits yet.” Then he just got better and better from there. CRAZY!!!!!

Just finished watching the game. (Had to record it because I went out for a late dinner) I AM FREAKING ECSTATIC RIGHT NOW.
My sister was in the room for the middle part of the game and she wanted to go upstairs after the 7th inning and I said “where do you think you’re going?” She’s like “upstairs”.
I told her that if she went upstairs and Ubaldo lost his no hitter I was blaming her. She stayed. :-)

The second half of the Rockies article is pretty funny.
Talking about what was going on in the dugout.
Haha
Mora wouldn’t let Jimenez’s mood slip.
“I told him to kick [tail],” said Mora, who beat all his teammates from the dugout to the field after the final out.
He may suck thus far, but Mora definitely appears to love being a Rockie.

Seriously
I remember in ‘05 and ’06 trying to convince people that it would all be fine because we had this kid named Ubaldo Jimenez coming up and he’d be the best pitcher the Rockies have ever seen. Seeing him throw a no-no is awesome!
The Colorado Rockies aren't a team, they're an armada.
I remember hearing about him as he was coming up through the minors
And being excited about the day he would get called up.
And I remember his debut in 2006 against the Cubs.
Wow.
This is INSANE.

Ooh, I just had an awesome idea.
I’m going to rewatch the last few innings and sync it up with the KOA broadcast.
Nice call. The radio call at the end was just insane.
So what are the chances for an Avalanche vs. Sabres finals, eh?
I am the 1st and probably only official member of the David "Dr." Jones fanclub. Until I get the newsletter out, anyway.
Donte Whitner sez: Camp Jauron is over!
I've listened to it about a million times now.
Corrigan did a great job on that.
Only problem was that there’s an error in the archive and there’s a stray commercial break right during Troy Glaus’s at bat in the 7th so I missed the call of Dex’s catch. Really horrible spot for that. I already posted in the support forum to let them know. Hopefully that gets fixed.
Also, after the game when Jack was hilarious when he read the box score.
He read the Rockies line (runs, hits, errors), and then he says, “And for the first time in my Rockies career, I’m just gassed to tell you the Braves had 0 run, 0 HITS, and 0 errors.” You could tell he was just tickled about the entire thing.
Well hey, wouldn’t you be? I’d give an arm to be able to call a no-hitter!

I believe
It helps the balls not become so hard, because they dry out it low humidity. They would be somewhat lighter at altitude without it.
I think.

Did you know...
that before the Rockies joined the league (and naturally before the D-backs joined) that Atlanta was the highest-eleation ballpark in the country. Old Fulton County Stadium was the original “Launching Pad”!
Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.
I agree this was huge
I just think that game 163 was better

Just found a Braves blog with home video of the celebration.
They also said they’d have a high quality version up sometime tomorrow.
So, I was wondering...
It seems obvious that #17 will be the first retired by the Rockies.
Given the fact that Uball has permanently cemented a place in team history, what are the odds that #38 is the second?
Is this wildly premature speculation? Of course it is! But…it’s late and I’m alone, and in such situations I tend to think of things like this. Discuss.

That depends
On if Ubaldo retires before Tulo, because if Tulo retires before Ubaldo, #38 will be third.

Awwww.
Listening to the postgame on the radio archive, and Jerry said that during his interview with him, Ubaldo was crying. Love him.
I really need to go to bed.
But I’m watching the late SportsCenter (I guess this is actually a rebroadcast), and they had the most brilliant edit ever. They were showing Ubaldo’s interview with FSRM, when he was talking about Dex’s catch. And when he said, “And I was like, wow!” They cut to the replay of him mouthing “wow” so the two sync’d up. It was awesome.
