Scherzer is just the fifth pitcher in major-league history to pitch two no-hitters in a single season, and t/he first one in 42 years. (The last was Nolan Ryan, as the article said.)

His no-no was the seventh of the season in Major League Baseball, which ties the record for most no-hitters in a season.

He almost had three. :’)

Meanwhile here in Texas, the Rangers are in the midst of yet another epic collapse.

...2 season no-hitters ping....

HOORAY Max (sheesh…the Tigers were minus some good pitching this year…Scherzer, Porcello, Price, Verlander (injured). I think they finished with worst E.R.A. in the American League. It’s no wonder they’ll finish in last place (from first to worst in the division.

CONGRATULATIONS Scherzer

This guy was pretty mediocre 4 seasons ago.

Worked really hard and it’s been paying off now three seasons in a row.

And MORE amazing, he struck out 9 of the last 10 batters, which is incredible figuring it was the 3rd time through the line up.

He took 2 other games into the 7th with no hitters and realistically could have had 5...

When you see him pitch every fifth day, you - at least I - come to appreciate him.

When they got him I didn’t like the deal nor his ‘attitude’ of stomping around the mound BUT it just proves the intensity he goes through.

15 hits this season, runs the bases well, pretty close to a real throwback pitcher..

Probably the second-best 9-inning game ever pitched (ignoring context, such as strength of opponent, game's meaningfulness, park effects, etc.), according to Game Scores, behind only Kerry Wood's 20-strikeout 1-hitter in 1998, supplanting Clayton Kershaw's 15-strikeout no-hitter last year. Wood's Game Score was 105, Scherzer's 104, Kershaw's 102.

THE BASEBALL PING LIST

This is a medium volume ping list during the baseball season and a low volume ping list when all life stops in late October.
If you would like to be on the ping list please FReepmail me.

Rangers blew it big time today. They’ve clinched at least a WC but are only 1 ahead of HOU for the division now.

[Fiji Hill]

Mets? Sounds like a town in France.

I’d be willing to bet Max is the only pitcher with one brown eye and one blue eye to throw two no hitters in a single season.
