    Mike Fiers of the Astros with a no-hitter against the Dodgers tonight. He was a nice trade pickup for the Steps.

    5 to go to tie Ryan. Also. LOL Mets. They're not winning the WS. Put it in the book.
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    17Ks for Scherzer. One fielding error away from a perfect game.

    Dodgers' Ross Stripling through 6.
    If history tells us anything, the path to redeption for any bad baseball team is marked with a deep rotation of durable starters, a world class defense in both infield and outfield, a lineup that can generate runs in more than one way, a bullpen that won't steal defeat from the jaws of victory, and a top end catcher to hold the whole package together. These are the conditions by which victory is achieved, anything that does not accomplish these objectives is a waste of resources.

    Pulled from the game by the manager with 5 outs to go and still zero hits. Gotta feel for the kid. It was the right play by the manager in a close game and the kid was getting wild but still, that has to suck.

    Aaaaand Dodgers relief pitchers immediately cough up the game giving Stripling the odd line of 7 1/3 innings pitched, 1 run on no hits.

    Lol while the no-hitter was still in tact, they took out a guy who could have been the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter in their MLB debut in over 100 years. And the batter hits a homer to tie the game.

    Pitch count limits for rookies can be a good call, but come on. The guy isn't going to disintegrate if you let him pitch over the limit this one time to try for the no-hitter. This wasn't the fifth inning, it was the 8th. I have to say I disagree with the choice to pull him from the game.

    It's not just about the guy's career. Recent history shows that when a pitcher throws 140-150 pitches his arm isn't the same for about a month.

    That said, a little once-in-a-century history may have been worth pushing the rookie for.

    4/21 Jake Arrieta 4BB 6Ks. The first no-hitter I've witnessed. I thought I would never get to experience one.
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win
