You can't help but be happy for a guy who is having his 8th career start at 30 years old and manages to throw a very solid no-hitter.

And his wife had a baby last week, same day he was told he had a rotation slot.

Here's hoping Ronel Blanco puts together a strong season instead of being a guy who makes you go "who the hell was that" when perusing no-hitter lists in 10 years.

He was so close to mirroring JV's no-no against the Jays in 2019 too, except he gave up one extra walk in the 9th.

Throwing strikes is hard and Rendon is too lazy to swing, is what I'm reading.

You joke, but I'm convinced most players could get a .400 OBP if they simply didn't swing

I feel like all the Chinese ones that change urls every 6 months go back to one person, but I've never had a problem with any of them. I need to buy up the last 8 teams to get all 30 before these heinous new ones flood the black markets.

When I saw the Jays' pitcher was named Bowden Francis, I knew he had to be from the beating heart of Tallahassee.

Ok, so far as I can tell, "changeup" is just a catch-all term for an idiosyncratic pitch that is slower than a fastball and has weird movement

Part of the problem is that there isn't an untapped pool of great umpires sitting around they can access. They should start training women to be umpires as well, double the potential pool of umpires and put some pressure on these martinet fucks
