Obviously. We need to make the rules so that it’s “4 strikes and you’re out”Are no hitters killing baseball?
Forty days. April 9 - Joe Musgrove April 14 - Carlos Rodón (April 25 - Madison Bumgarner) May 5 - John Means May 7 - Wade Miley May 18 - Spencer Turnbull May 19 - Corey Kluber
Six no-hitters thrown this year, but only against 3 teams. Rangers, Mariners, and Indians all tw
You assume people will still bother with the thread when we get past the tenth no-hitter.This is just going to be an extremely busy thread this year.
MLB has taken baseball out of baseball.For old people, the modern game of baseball is great because so many bathroom breaks are built into the action. Nothing happens most of the time. It’s great. Kluber’s no-hitter was the most anti-climactic gem I’ve ever watched. No great fielding plays. No hard-hit balls. I just assumed in the 7th inning that there was no need to root this thing home. No-hitters are like two-hitters used to be. Great pitching.
No, the Indians, Mariners and Rangers are.Are no hitters killing baseball?
I only saw the last 2 innings and there were 3 or 4 times when the ball left the bat that I thought the Rangers had gotten a hit.For old people, the modern game of baseball is great because so many bathroom breaks are built into the action.

Nope, but it does seem like baseball is killing (cheapening) the no hitter.Are no hitters killing baseball?
“Left the bat” is an interesting image. The hot smash to Gio, I never saw that until replay. Gio had it in his glove before I could say “Shit-fuck.” Right at him. Perfect short hop. Tyler Wade ran down a fly ball to right. Nobody notices if not for the no-hitter.I only saw the last 2 innings and there were 3 or 4 times when the ball left the bat that I thought the Rangers had gotten a hit.
No, it was real.Did they really give out Kluber bobbleheads? Or was that just a Twitter joke?
I would pay extra if they removed him after the 6th. The reaction would be awesome.Snell is up to something.
I wonder what the record is for most no-hitters that went less than nine innings (and therefore don't count as no-hitters) in a season. If this rain doesn't let up, this will be number 2 this year after MadBum's 7-inning no-hitter against the Braves.Houston has a combined no-hitter through 7. Odorizzi and Javier. Rain is coming down pretty hard though.
Actually, I'll answer my own question, since a quick internet search can reveal the answer to such queries: the record is three less-than-nine-inning no-hitters in a season, which occurred in both 1906 and 1907. There have been four seasons with multiple less-than-nine-inning no-hitters: 1906 and 1907 both had three, and 1959 and 1990 both had two.I wonder what the record is for most no-hitters that went less than nine innings (and therefore don't count as no-hitters) in a season.
