I saw the last out (and I still don't care)

Phenomenal. I've caught the last few batters of lots of no-hitters/perfect games online, but (the nothingness of the game aside) that's probably the greatest pitched game I've ever seen where I watched almost the whole thing. He got a couple of close strikes, but I don't think there was anything close to a close play the whole game. I think he hit 100 for game score. I hope such games don't become permanently extinct.

JV and Cole had been very close statistically speaking for awhile but this coupled w/Cole’s last start puts him way out in front for the Cy.

Third guy (Addie Joss, Tim Lincecum) to no-hit the same team twice.

Jays announcers started running down no-hitters the Jays had broken up in the 9th, and they reminded me of something I'd forgotten: Nelson Liriano tripled off Ryan to break one up, and Ryan screamed at him the whole way to third.

If Verlander had retired this morning, here's how he'd stack up against Halladay:
V: 220-128, 3.35, 2943 IP, 2949 K, 128 ERA+, 3.43 FIP, 1.140 WHIP, 69.6 WARH: 203-105, 3.38, 2749 IP, 2117 K, 131 ERA+, 3.39 FIP, 1.178 WHIP, 65.4 WAR
Very close, but with Halladay drawing 85% support his first year on the ballot, I can't see where Verlander wouldn't do as well or better.

I should have added K/BB to that comparison above. Slight edge to Halladay, 3.58 to 3.50. These guys are really close.

That was the 15th nine-inning Game Score of 100+.

Impressive list. Brandon Morrow's the only guy on there without much distinction. Cain and Wood derailed by injuries, Gerrit Cole, and eight guys who are in the HOF or should/will be.

All no-hitters are impressive, as navigating an entire game without allowing a hit is a feat unto itself and generally comes with an excellent defensive performance combined with a great outing from the pitcher. Verlander’s no-hitter is one of the most impressive in recent history due to how little he relied on his teammates to complete the task.

Re: Yu Darvish' hot hand
"Since at least 1893, no pitcher in Major League Baseball history has ever had five consecutive starts without walking a batter while striking out at least 8 guys each time out."

Elesier Hernandez made his MLB debut for the Marlins today and was hitless through 4 1/3rd. Thought that was some good news for the franchise.

tbh it’s nice to see giolito do well. the nats absolutely gave up on him, not entirely without reason, and there aren’t too many guys who rebound from that. he could have easily turned into carson fulmer

he's a decent pitcher but the brewers also just looked like total garbage yesterday. they made some really dumb defensive errors that led to runs scoring and i'm guessing that impacted their overall performance
