2021-09-11: Brewers (Burnes) at Indians (Plesac) [Brewers win, 3-0 -- Burnes (8 IP) & Hader (1 IP) combine for NO HITTER]

[adambr2]

Burnes knew he was never getting the 9th. Said he had to lobby hard to get the 8th.

[BruisedCrew]

For the record, I approve of Counsell’s decision.

[markedman5]

What a season…,,,,unreal

[Slippery_Pete]

I hate giving in to fear. Dumb. Cowards.

 

QFT

[adambr2]

Calm down Straw. Good call.

 

Good zone by this ump tonight. So many umps penalize when a strike isn't caught in a way that "looks" good despite being a strike. One called strike outside to Narvaez was about the only obvious miss I recall.

 

Agreed. I appreciate an ump that isn't fooled when a good pitch is caught badly.

[HarveysWBs]

I hope this is the biggest thing we all have to fight about for the rest of the year. That would be a pretty good sign.

[sdcheezhd]

Special team, special night.

 

I was hoping to see the 2d no-hitter ever in person too, but this works.

[adambr2]

How much pressure was on Hader? That is not your typical save situation.

[willie key]

No hitter. Congrats to brewers. What a season. I think they are going to win 100 this year

[OldHeidelberg]

14 K’s 8 no hit innings. I am disappointed but look at this way, this will get some press and bolster his Cy Young hopes.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Remember when people were worried Burnes would struggle after he couldn't use spider tack anymore?

 

Lol...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I hope this is the biggest thing we all have to fight about for the rest of the year. That would be a pretty good sign.

 

This is a historical team, and this is another feather to add to the cap. What a wonderful season to be a Brewer fan.

 

Craigtember indeed.

Well okay then; nice to know I can ignore you and your laughable takes.

 

My take that I no longer enjoy the game as I did when I was a youth due to pitch counts (today's example), 7-inning doubleheaders, and other changes is laughable? Good grief. Has nothing to do with their success this season, I just don't enjoy watching the game as much as I did when I was younger.

 

The game changes like every other sport. That is literally the history of the baseball. Read some Bill James.

 

Yup. Absolutely. I just don't enjoy watching it as much as I did 20 years ago.

[PinaMadness]

There is something cool about a TEAM pitching staff getting a TEAM no-no with two of it's best guys.

 

Harder has earned being a part of something special. It's not traditional, but it:s cool in a different way

No there's not.

[phnxcrew]

Well, another win. Things are starting to click between the defense, pitching and hitting. at least this gives the CY young voters something to consider if burnes does finish first in ERA. Otherwise one of the LA guys wins it easily

[ThisIsMyCrew]

I’d take this kind of dominance from Burnes and Hader in the playoffs! Guys looked elite, like they are, tonight.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Outstanding performance by Burnes with a solid assist from Hader.

 

Would’ve like to see Burnes make it a one pitcher no-hitter. But perhaps not pushing the staff ace beyond limits was wiser. Wonder if the same decision would’ve been made had it been going into the 9th inning with a perfect game still in play.

[SeaBass]

What I find ironic is a board full of baseball fans being apologists for being denied the experience most every fan dreams about. Yes we all want a World Series but that doesn't mean you have to compromise career and franchise milestones along the way because there's some perceived extra heightened chance a player could be injured. Any player can be injured at literally any time for any reason. It doesn't make sense to cave to fear, at least to me. A championship is as much about the journey as the culmination.

 

Whatever, I'm just disappointed. I'll get over it. It sure makes me care less about Juan Nieves' no hitter because the Milwaukee Brewers franchise just told me by their actions it doesn't matter.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Also, isn't this like the 8th time the Indians have been no hit this season?

 

I know its not actually 8, but I think its at least 3 now, right?

[ecjimg]

Haven’t been this mad after a win since Manning’s unnecessary 1 out hit

[82brewcrew82]

Also, isn't this like the 8th time the Indians have been no hit this season?

 

I know its not actually 8, but I think its at least 3 now, right?

Yes, it is 3 times now. Rodon and Miley were the others.

Thank you. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Way back in the 90s I played in over 30 baseball league and the pitcher threw both ends of a double header and I caught both games. I'm guessing he threw somewhere around 300 pitches.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

 

Yup. Absolutely. I just don't enjoy watching it as much as I did 20 years ago.

 

I don't get as excited watching games as I did as a teen either. But I just watched the Brewers pitch a no hitter while standing in front of the TV next to my 12-year-old baseball crazy son, and saw him well up with tears as Omar made that final throw to 1st. Enjoyment evolves as well.

[Baldkin]

Career high pitches for Corbin tonight.
