One of these team are going to be no hit at least 2 more times.
Now three teams have been no-hit TWICE this season: Clevelanders, Mariners, and now the Rangers.
I mean, cool. I like Kluber a lot and the guy has thrown a combined 36.2 IP in 2019 and 2020. This is great.
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.
You assume people will still bother with the thread when we get past the tenth 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.
“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.
Were you rooting for or against the no-hitter?
There have been 20 complete games in MLB this year, some of which have been the 7 inning variety. 6 of them have been no-hitters, including one of those 7 inning jobs. It's getting to the point where a starter is only allowed to finish a game if he's throwing a no-hitter.
I would pay extra if they removed him after the 6th. The reaction would be awesome.
Charlie Morton in the 7th in Atlanta. No walks but two hit batsmen. He had a long wait during the bottom of the 6th, as Don Orsillo would be sure to note.
Incidentally, he might get traded if the Braves don't turn it around.

Goldschmidt ends it after a 9-pitch AB.
Acuna looked like he might have had a play on a pop-up down the RF line, but would have been do-or-die and he didn't.

Houston has a combined no-hitter through 7. Odorizzi and Javier. Rain is coming down pretty hard though.
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.
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.
German Marquez has a perfecto going. Guess who he’s pitching against?
EDIT: Taylor Trammell homers off him as I wrote this WHOOPS

Old friend Craig Kimbrel warming up in a game in Chavez Ravine because the Cubs are doing a thing to the Dodgers.
edit… and done, Cubs (Davies, Tepera, Chafin, Kimbrel) throw a combined no-hitter vs. the Dodgers.
