Gabe Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Think that is the last one since Clays too if Im not mistaken. Could have forgotten one

Interested Observer Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 It was his first complete game as well.....Congrats on the No-No!
Jasperfan Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 Nolan Ryan used to throw 150 pitches a game and that really hurt his career. Lol. I think it depends on the pitcher and you can't pull a pitcher in a game with a no hitter no matter what his pitch count is. If they get a hit off of him, then you pull him.

I'm not saying that it won't wear the pitcher out, but it's not like they don't get plenty of time to recover. pitchers are babied these days. regardless, lester is a fantastic story.
