Or Joe Cowley...one of the "worst" no-hitters of all-time.

 

Melido Perez, rain-shorted no-hitter.

I hope it's a White Sox hat that ends up adorning Bartolo's bust in Cooperstown.

Indians...

The best part of near perfect games is glancing at the all time perfect game list. And seeing Philip f***ing Humber still on that list. Forever.

 

Worst pitcher in baseball to throw a perfect game. At least his name is cemented in baseball history.

Pretty amazing how many position players the Astros discovered...not even on their roster.

Jonathan Villar

Singleton

Robbie Grossman

Preston Tucker

MLB Daily Dish?Verified account @mlbdailydish Pirates infielder Josh Harrison will miss six weeks after being diagnosed with a broken hand:

 

 

Toronto Blue Jays?Verified account @BlueJays 40m40 minutes ago Tonight’s game has been cancelled due to inclement weather causing damage to our roof. We apologize to our fans for this inconvenience. Further info for those with purchased tickets to the game will be shared shortly. Tomorrow’s game will be a 3:07 p.m. traditional doubleheader

 

 

Even domes aren't enough.

The teams in the south would never allow you to selectively stick their games in times of year when school is in session/when it's harder for them to sell tickets.

 

So what? Why do they have a say here? Tell them it's just how it works.

I just think it’s a bad year. Early on, you want to load up on division games because there’s more opportunities to make them up. Outside the division, sure, try to play in domes and warmer places. There’s just way too much freaking out over a freak year.

Man, how about JB Shuck still getting MLB ABs in 2018

 

I'll call your JB Shuck and raise you a Peter Bourjos

Guaranteed Rate with their downward arrow has advertising at Wrigley Field. Go figure.

Ohtani 93-95 MPH out of the gate at home against the Red Sox...down from the upper 90's last time out (pitching on 8 day's rest).

 

And Betts homers on a 97.4 MPH fastball.

According to Buster Olney, Mike Trout is going to go down as one of the greatest players ever. That's why he's considered an expert ladies and gentlemen.

Brewers are playing now, but if I was there, all I would be thinking about is how bad the roads are when the game is over.

Indians (Mejia) prospect sues over deal that ties up future earnings ($360k of loans for 10% of future mlb earnings)

Manaea no hitter thru 7 vs Red Sox. Impressive.

Sean Manaea with the first no hitter of the year. No hitting the Red Sox

Pretty impressive,  the Red Sox have been hitting. 

Oakland is far from a title, but they have some talent.  Beane has done an amazing job there

Sale with the tough luck loss...poor Royals, Manaea used to be their property

Jeter definitely needs some PR advice   http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2771797-derek-jeter-calls-bryant-gumbel-mentally-weak-when-asked-about-marlins-tanking?utm_source=cnn.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=editorial

The Reds are so bad. No wonder they hired Buddy Bell away from the White Sox.

I've said it in the past but Jeter is gonna be more disliked than A Rod within the next year or so, it's already happening, especially with how well A Rod has taken to the TV gig. Funny how the world works
