I think he deserved a month for starting a brawl like that. Instead they did it this way where they whack him for showing an outburst of emotion.

Kurkjian just said that despite not having their rings, stats, or $ taken away, the Yankees fan booing the Astros is punishment enough in his mind.

Funny to compare the 8 games for this to the 0 games the NHL gave Tom Wilson for a near-maiming.

That's the third no-hitter this year without a walk.

Two of them were one HBP and this was one dropped third strike.

That's a weird wrinkle though, the pitcher not having to run. I bet you no American League manager knew that, Larussa was just the first to be exposed.

This was the first single-dude no-hitter for the Orioles since Jim Palmer in 1969. That surprised me.

Imagine hitting .331 in your first 10 seasons and still not finishing your career over .300. Baseball sucks.

Lots of guys tail off starting in their mid-30s.



(Never hit over .285, no OBP over .343 with Anaheim. Even the most cynical projection when he signed wouldn't have been that awful.)

Two more outs instead. Can't imagine what's different these past two seasons.
