It’s been over for a very long time. The only question was whether either of the other two bum teams could get hot enough to pass us by. And both did, but Cleveland deserved it the most. Good luck to them. They’ll probably get swept but at least they’ve played well enough lately to earn the trip
So weird that we’re at a place where a guy can’t be mad about being denied a chance to make history. I pitched through lowly division 3 college ball. I can’t IMAGINE the euphoria of throwing a no hitter at the major league level. There have been roughly 320 recognized no hitters since 1876. 1876!!!! 146 years! Grow up? Are you kidding me man? Lol
So you’re sputtering down the stretch, just about out of contention, and one of your guys gets deprived of a chance at history. As a fan, what is the reason to tune in for the final 2+ weeks?
Please tell me we aren’t going to get on the case of a pitcher for being upset that his Lily livered manager deprived him of a chance at history. Please don’t tell me that
Funny how one of the points of analytics is to treat every player differently. Yet the magic number of 100 pitches is the bewitching number for all pitches.
