2020 MLB Running Thread

The Cubs' Alec Mills pitched the second no-hitter of the season today, in a 12-0 win over the Brewers.

It was the second no-hitter in Miller Park history. Both have been by Cubs pitchers, but neither one has been in front of a Brewers home crowd. Carlos Zambrano threw the first one, in 2008 against the Astros, in a game moved to Miller Park because of a hurricane. Today's had no fans in attendance because of COVID-19.

 

But the rest of the story:

 

How nice of the USA Today to leave out the fact they were the ones who reported wrongly that Dickerson caught it from a family member. Giants OF Alex Dickerson cleared to play after positive test

From the USA Today's Nightengale column

 

From what I've seen on teh Twitterez, a reporter in SoCal who I had never heard of before got wind of it, and, well, Nightingale gonna Nightingale.

 

More Brewers buffoonery, from the other night:

 

Doubleheaders used to be an almost weekly phenomenon for every team in order to ensure one off day per week in the days with little to no air travel.

 

Playoffs, World Series to be in bubble. AL playoffs in SoCal, NL in Texas. World Series in Arlington.s

 

Add smog-out to the list of things we'd only see in 2020.

 

No, 2020 is going to be the first time, not the last time, we'll see a smog out. That is until everything that can burn has burned away.

 

It's those exploding trees, dammit!

 

Have those rakes come in yet?

 

No, they’re still in Cleveland.
