I was right there with you. Didn’t look at the TZ all night and the deeper the game got, the further away I stayed from my phone!!

Yes.

I’m about to watch the game, we watched the Iowa/LSU game (because she wanted to) and then went to bed, now I’m awake for a bit.

Reading the GZ was everything I could have hoped for after the first 4 exhibition games.

The understatement of the night.

As a side note, another neat aspect to Blanco’s no hitter is that Joe Espada’s first managerial win is a no hitter. That will make a fun trivia question in the future.

True – But Cabrera will be all over it (again).

#Astros Yainer Diaz is the first catcher in MLB history to have a multi-homer game during a game in which he called a no-hitter.
