Seattle has been no-hit twice in 13 days.
Turnbull has long become a solid starter for them (despite not being lauded as premium prospect). This is of course the pinnacle of his career - for now...Time to juice the balls, folks
But it's great to see something positive for the Tigers in their rebuild.
Really? I mean, every guy nowadays hit at least 20 HR. I hate the juiced ball honestly. I hate the lack of good hitters. It's all about HR or nothing.Five no hitters through mid May? Sorry, but baseball has turned into a complete joke.
That’s my point. These no hitters are happening frequently because of the boom or bust approach. MLB has gone completely gung-ho on analytics and it’s ruined the sport. Baseball is down bad, folks.Really? I mean, every guy nowadays hit at least 20 HR. I hate the juiced ball honestly. I hate the lack of good hitters. It's all about HR or nothing.
Even if we count Bumgarner's 7.0 IP-no hitter as well, actually none of these six successful pitchers typically employ such a "boom-or-bust"-approach you are complaining about. Look at their respective ERA+, the majority of them did actually not perform above-average last year. I do think that your worries are reason for concern for the MLB (who thinks about abandoning the shift already). But in my opinion, these six no-hitters do not directly prove your point.That’s my point. These no hitters are happening frequently because of the boom or bust approach.

Huh? I was talking about hitters having a boom or bust approach. Home run or strikeout. That’s what the game’s turned into.Even if we count Bumgarner's 7.0 IP-no hitter as well, actually none of these six successful pitchers typically employ such a "boom-or-bust"-approach you are complaining about.

Players are rightfully giving less shits about being no hit, or cycled or whatever. The most important thing is to win, and hitting homers helps a team offensively more than anything. The approaches are flawed, but the logic isn’t.That’s my point. These no hitters are happening frequently because of the boom or bust approach.
