No hitte4 alert

Spencer Turnbull of the tigers has one walk thru 8 against Seattle

6th no hitter this season. Hitting is so behind the pitching in modern baseball that the no hitter does not excite me at all anymore

It only excites me if I get to watch the game, or if it's a White Sox pitcher throwing one.

plus... ... ... the pitcher walked 2 ppl. A 1 hit shutout with 0 walks is more impressive but people wouldnt talk about it like this.

Also, I believe they ruled an error in the 9th with 1 out. Man on first (2nd walk) and the next batter hits it to the left of the 2B, he gets the lead out but the SS threw it away and ended up hitting the batter as he was just passing 1B. Could have been ruled a fielders choice and not ruled a hit. Didn't get to hear the game when I was watching it

not to mention Batters are hitting a historically low .238ish.. at this point if youre not throwing a no hitter you're an average pitcher.

How many would Villy have right now?

Nolan Ryan career strikeout percentage was 25%. The MLB average strikeout percentage is 25% right now. Essentially pitchers are striking out guys on average at the same level as Nolan Ryan and Sandy Koufax. That is the number one reason baseball is fading and in trouble. There is no action.

Klubers no hitter was solid. 9ks 1 walk.

insert steroid (or whatever is new)

stop letting Gerrit Cole and friends get away with doctored balls and maybe hitters will be able to make contact again.

MLB record for no hitters in a season is 7.

There has already been 6 this year. We are in May.

Guys nowadays don't like those unwritten rules. But yea, he ould take one right between the shoulder blades his next at bat if this was done 30 years ago. I love unwritten rules in baseball, but we don't see it much anymore

There was already 2 outs. Just step on first!

Unwritten rules are fucking stupid. Brilliant play by Javy but more of a dumb play by the 1B

For the batter

Do not swing on a 3–0 count when your team is comfortably ahead[11]
Do not spend your time admiring a home run you hit[2]
Do not steal bases if your team is ahead by a significant amount[12]
Do not swing at the first pitch of the at-bat if the pitcher has allowed back-to-back home runs[13]
Do not work the count if your team is winning or losing by a significant amount[13]

For the fans
Do not discuss a no-hitter that is currently in progress[15]

Just a smart baseball play, and stupid one at the same time from the 1st baseman. no reason to bean a guy for a stupid play from your own teammate.
