Aside from the clinching games in World Series and LCS wins, this has to be one of the best days in Astros history.
It’s fitting that on the day the Astros bring back a pitcher with multiple no hitters in Justin Verlander that Framber Valdez throws the first in his career.
I didn’t think it would be better than originally acquiring Verlander in August 2017, but I was wrong.
I was nowhere sure that ball wasn’t going to land where everybody wasn’t.
Cleveland having been no-hit 5 times since 2021 is… I don’t even know where to start with that.
Maldy’s 3rd no-hitter caught, and the first that wasn’t combined
But they hustle there way to first unlike anyone
Remind me, who caught Verlander’s in 2019?
Chirinos
Gonna do a deep dive on no hitters now - see where the Astros rank from point of inception.
“Do you have to sing again??”
They do. And dance, too, while they’re at it.
When I was four I was invited to a musical by a classmate so I asked my mom What’s a musical and she says Well it’s a show kind of like a play but where people sing and dance and I asked You mean they’re just standing around and then without warning they start singing and she said Yes that’s exactly it and I said That’s gonna be a no from me dawg.
Only way this day gets better is if I win that billion dollar lottery.
How many non-perfecto No Hit pitchers faced the minimum?
A Yordanmas miracle.
In that case, you’re buying the beer

How many non-perfecto No Hit pitchers faced the minimum?
A few. There is the famous Babe Ruth/Ernie Shore combined no no, where Ruth walked the first batter, was ejected arguing, and the runner was then caught stealing. Shore retired the next 26 batters.
I win the lottery, I’m buying the fucking bar.
