    ....Mike Fiers no-hit the Reds & Justin Turner hit 3 HRs

  • #2
    I wonder how many folks "didn't start the Fiers."

    If they didn't, that's one painful earworm today.
    Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

      - Fiers becomes only the 35th pitcher to throw 2 no-hitters
      - it was the 300th no-hitter in MLB history

        My $2 Fiers lowered his era to 5.48 and his whip to 1.24. He is good enough for me to keep he is good enough for me to start.

          He joins Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Jake Arrieta, and Homer Bailey as the only active pitchers with 2 no-hitters.

          Only five pitchers have had more:
          Nolan Ryan - 7
          Sandy Koufax - 4
          Bob Feller - 3
          Cy Young - 3
          Larry Corcoran - 3

            And lowest attendance in a no-hitter supposedly.

              Geez, why didn't they show up for a no-hitter? If that can't get them to the stadium nothing will.

                Maybe officially. Hideo Nomo tossed a no-hitter in a virtually empty Coors Field in 1996 on a cold, rainy, foggy September night that featured two game stoppages, IIRC. Whatever the announced attendance was, there were only a few hundred left by the end of it.

                Bob Forsch has got to be the most mediocre pitcher in MLB with multiple no-hitters. Except for maybe Mike Fiers.

                  I was at Mike Fiers first no-hitter. Those are strange words to type.

                    Actually all of those words look normal other than Fiers. It should probably be spelled Fires instead.

                      nicely played.

                        I think Theodore Breitenstein, Al Atkinson & Homer Bailey give him a run for the money.
