2019 MLB Regular Season running thread

He's back.

 

0-for-4 with a walk, but he did get an RBI (groundout) and the Angels won, so it's a good night.

 

Nothing happening in Oakland through six.

 

Through seven.

 

Eight.

 

One out in the ninth.

 

And, he got it. Mike Fiers no-hits the Reds. His second career no-no.

 

And another insane catch by Ramon Laureano.

 

Worse pitcher with two career no-hitters — Mike Fiers or Homer Bailey?

 

Homer was way better than Fiers for most of his career. Injuries killed him. Then his big, long-term contract ensured the Reds would keep him around to pitch horribly for years.

 

That's what I was thinking. Bailey always had talent. He was a very good prospect and he pitched well before he broke down. Fiers doesn't have great stuff. He will pitch well for stretches, but his margin for error is very small.

 

Is it time to talk about Yelich hitting 73 yet? Just popped his 16th on May 8. Bonds didn't hit No. 16 until May 17.
