(xpost) Dave Stewart (against the Jays) and Fernando both threw one on June 29, 1990.

No posts about Spencer Turnbull's no-hitter? I guess no-hitters are becoming routine these days!

Was drifting off before the first pitch.

Turnbull?!

Trivia:
Kyle Seager has been in the winning team of a no hitter 4 times, including a perfecto. He also has been on the losing side of 5 no-hitters... including a perfect game. That’s the highest total of no-hitters participation in history. Five of those have been at home: combined, Hernandez, Iwakuma, Means and Turnbull (T-Mobile Park is ridiculous). Of note that of the remaining four, one was in Canada, the other in Mexico.

a no hitter in Mexico?
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 19 May 2021 20:08 (three years ago) link
Yeah the combined no-hitter by the Dodgers vs the Padres in Monterrey.

texas cleveland and seattle have all been no-hit twice so far

Thanks for the heads-up; caught the 9th.

Today's No-Hitter of the Day.

it was cool that it was a good pitcher this time!
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Thursday, 20 May 2021 03:00 (three years ago) link
god, the no-hitters by good pitchers...those are just the best
Everyone gets a no hitter this year.
― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 20 May 2021 03:35 (three years ago) link
must have been bittersweet to come against his former team (for whom he pitched one inning)
― mookieproof, Thursday, 20 May 2021 04:33 (three years ago) link
is that right? lol
i gotta say, i haven't watched kluber pitch in a long time, and god DAMN is he boring. like when they show his face, i mean
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 20 May 2021 05:05 (three years ago) link
he's just like, welp, driving in the middle of the lane here
Just realized that Cleveland, Seattle, and Texas have all been no-hit twice this year, so perhaps they should get a new hitting coach/approach.
― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 20 May 2021 05:10 (three years ago) link
Why is this happening?
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 20 May 2021 05:11 (three years ago) link
it goes back to a lack of faith in god, this is punishment
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 20 May 2021 05:23 (three years ago) link
especially on the part of the people in cleveland, seattle, and all of texas. repent, sinners!!
on the other hand, this may be the work of prayer warriors, on the pitchers' side. or against the batters, depending on the prayer.

please, god, please let me defeat joey gallo in spiritual and baseball battle tonight
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 20 May 2021 05:25 (three years ago) link
who did joey gallo sleep with? why did god punish him with no hits tonight? was he lusting after a bathsheba in his mind as he struck out? and did he strike out? and where is that boxscore, anyway
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 20 May 2021 05:26 (three years ago) link
the (slightly) deadened ball may have something to do with it. that about the weather? has it been cooler than usual in these places?
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 20 May 2021 07:52 (three years ago) link
MLB is batting .236 this year (.245 last year, .252 the year before that), and the number of balls in play per game has also been steadily dropping -- exactly the conditions needed for no-hitters. It's a decade-long trend in hitting, and more no-hitters is one of the results.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 20 May 2021 09:28 (three years ago) link
so this trend has been ongoing. due to just better pitchers throwing harder than ever, basically?
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 20 May 2021 10:04 (three years ago) link
I think a change in approach too. More shifts and more hitters embracing their pull tendencies - willing to hit into the shift if they think they can clear the fences.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 20 May 2021 15:06 (three years ago) link
yeah. strikeouts at an all-time high - so the (slightly) (maybe) deadened ball isn't really to blame.
15% more strikeouts than hits.

I killed it.

Pivetta and Michael Wacha have thrown three and a half innings of no-hit baseball against each other so far. I mean it's not going to hold up but it's kind of cool. Pivetta's been perfect actually I think.
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 25 June 2021 00:12 (two years ago) link
Well there you go, Brandon Lowe just walked.
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 25 June 2021 00:17 (two years ago) link
Pivetta ended up with 6 2/3 no-hit ball. Sox lose 1-0.
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 25 June 2021 08:06 (two years ago) link
Four-pitcher, eight-walk no-hitter. No one cares.

lol I fell asleep before this happened but I didn't realise when Pivetta was lifted he was still working on the no-hitter! ouch
Apparently he'd thrown 100 pitches.. 0-0 game... tough
