    Devo didn't even know it was a no hitter until a random glance at the scoreboard in the bottom of the 8th.

    Ha! I love that. Is there a definitive book on baseball from that era that you know of?

    What do you mean for nothing... You got an outfielder who just got hit in the face with a misqueued ball and it made sportscenter. That's something!

    Not to make a mountain out of an anthill but did anyone see Grienke in the on field celebration?

    People are going to stop trading with the Astros. I just don’t know how we got 2 major league pitchers on friendly contracts for a AAAA outfielder. I know it’s only one start, but gosh...the list of guys that have come here and gotten better could grow if Sánchez can be solid for us.

    Charlie Morton
    Justin Verlander
    Gerrit Cole
    Ryan Pressly
    Wade Miley
    Aaron Sánchez?
    Joe Biagini?

    LOL, the trade is literally going to be remembered as such, a real faceplant.

    As for Sanchez, he has one of the best spin rates in the MLB, filthy repertoire. Some observers claim he has control issues, I think it has more to do with the adjustments he's had to make to stay healthy.

    Greinke isn't emotive or gregarious in the slightest, it's just the way he is.

    Frankly he's usually gonna look kind of miserable. You shouldn't read anything into it.

    I gathered that, but strange for the entire team to be on the field and he just what....walked to the training room? Sat in the dugout?

    So we should go no hitter every time we play the mariners?

    He was on-field, but wasn't overly excited. Greinke is our Chucky. On starts, Verlander doesn't want to be bother, or be talked to. Greinke is on another level.

    Great now he's going to sign a 2 year 15 mil deal somewhere. Thanks for nothing!
    Don't forget Fiers. He's a solid starter for the A's and kept us afloat during the 2017 season.

    Sanchez has had an ongoing "hand blister" problem. Is it legal for a MLB pitcher to wear liquid bandaid? If so, it might be the answer.

    McHugh, Harris, and Peacock as well.

    If we’re going off when Strom got here, Keuchel got much better after Strom’s arrival and could be added to the list.

    The day of the trade, it was speculated Sanchez would start immediately for us. I was skeptical thinking we needed time turn him around. I asked, how much can be done in only a week? F#cking a lot evidently!

    Has a team ever had (4) #1 TOR pitchers at the same time?

    Casual baseball fans don’t know what a no-hitter is

    SMH at downplaying the no hitter because it's against the Mariners. Jesus Christ, this board sometimes...
