Yet another no hitter
Corey Kluber just threw a no hitter for the Yankees. It's amazing to me how many no hitters are being thrown these days.

Most no-hitters in a season: 8 (1884). Most no-hitters in a season in the modern era: 7 (1990, 1991, 2012). No-hitters through May 19 of 2021 season: 6 (plus one 7-innging unofficial no-hitter).

And, in case anybody is wondering, there were also 4 in a month in June 1990, including 2 on one day (Fernando & Dave Stewart). In 1917 there were 5 no hitters in 23 days between April 14 and May 6. I think it's slightly weird that the 6 official no-hitters have been thrown against 3 teams. Also, all 7 no-hitters this year have been thrown with a DH in the lineup.

I've had a couple of net54 board members reach out to me already.
Modern hitters are no longer worried about strikeouts or batting average. Pitchers are focused on improved spin rate, high strikes and strikeouts. It's a combination of factors that leads to more swings and misses. A bit like dumping gasoline on a fire, IMHO |

When it's either a homerun or a strikeout, this is the result.
More watered down "No-Hitters" to come!

Baseball strategy is fluid and I think we will see a couple of teams find success by building around the slap hitting, good fielding teams that haven't really been in vogue since the Royals won a world series. I'll be glad to see it.

That's all I think this year too. Baseball is gawd awful to watch. You know who I want to see again: Rafael Furcal.

There are only 21 guys hitting .300 or better, and 5 are on the Astros. Couple teams have 2.
So that means more then half the 30 MLB teams don't even have a .300 hitter in their starting lineup. |

I need a few extra million... Oh, that's right, these pitchers throw 100 MPH cheese up in the zone with high spin rate. Never mind, I'm out |
