2020-09-13: Cubs (Mills) at Brewers (Houser) [Brewers lose, 12-0 -- No Hit by Alec Mills]

[brewers888]

Have to give the team credit for getting no hit on a day where the majority of Wisconsin isn't paying attention.

[PinaMadness]

I'm happy for Mills. He's a AAA quality pitcher so this will definitely be memorable for him.

But he threw this no hitter against a AAA quality offense.

Just sad , all year long we have made mediocre pitchers look like cy young candidates.

[yourout]

I can't help but think that this is the universe's karma for Counsell putting Sogard back in the starting lineup for one day.

 

As much as the manager should take a hit the GM failed miserably last offseason.

 

other than maybe the equipment manager there is no one in the organization that should not catch some heat for this year.

[PinaMadness]

Fun fact. The Brewers are averaging one run per game since scoring 19 against Detroit.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

You could probably do a 12 Days of Christmas on this game.

 

12 Cubs runs

11 drinks a Brewers fan

10 Cubs hits

9 innings from Mills

8 Brewers strikeouts (Optimism!)

7 Brewers walks

6 shots of vodka

5 run 4th

4 run 5th

3 Brewers errors

2 Arcia runs

And a no hitter from Alec Mills

 

This was pretty good.

 

I laughed.

 

Still on the whole, "IF you're gonna be bad..." train. Hope MLB doesn't change the draft rules and think about moving Hader in the offseason, in anticipation of a more robust market. I think Josh is going to be good for the next 3 years. Game-changer good. But Williams might be there too, and there's enough depth all over this roster on the pitching side to keep the BP pretty darn good. Plus, I think there's a good chance Josh gets a little worse. I'd move him. I really would. It's the kind of move you don't have to make if you're a big market team, but when you're not, it feels like the one you regret not making.

[MrTPlush]

A scrub finally pitched a no-no against us?

 

Shocked it took this long. Hopefully Stearns can figure out how to construct at least a AAA offense next year.

[pacopete4]

Stole this:

 

The Brewers finished 0-11 on hard-hit balls. Using Statcast's expected batting average, the chance that none of them would go for a hit was 0.07%.

[The stache]

The Cubs have thrown 2 no-hitters at Miller Park.

 

The Brewers have thrown 0.

 

Now that's just piling on.

[Jimbo]

Just imagine how wretched it would have been with 20,000 Cubs fans in the building.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

It was a beautiful day yesterday, and for the first time this whole abbreviated season, I didn't watch one pitch of this game. I believe I made the right decision.

 

On to the Cardinals!

[yourout]

While I do not have the time to look it up I would love to know how many times this season the Crew has been no hit through 4 innings.
