They're on pace to absolutely shatter the record.

Mariners batting .199 as a team now. Yikes.

 

[Del Preston]

Seattle has been no-hit twice in 13 days.

 

[Reality Check]

Time to juice the balls, folks

But it's great to see something positive for the Tigers in their rebuild.

I once saw a Mariners no-hitter live in person

Damn another one and two against M's already this season !!

 

[Terry Yake]

remember when joe musgrove threw a no-hitter?

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Also, the home plate umpire was none other than... Angel Hernandez.

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...

Once again a pitcher achieves a no-hitter this year, who is not considered to be an ace or even a TOR starter. This is an interesting development.

Five no hitters through mid May? Sorry, but baseball has turned into a complete joke.

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.

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.

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.

Huh? I was talking about hitters having a boom or bust approach. Home run or strikeout. That’s what the game’s turned into.

Losing track of all the no-no's.

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.

How many no-hitters did we have in 2019 when the HR record was broken?

Yep it's go big or go home for these hitters. I sometimes miss the small ball days.
