The Rangers somehow are now just 3 games off the pace of the Western Division lead. And don’t look now, but they may have the deepest rotation of any of the contenders.
It is a “Lone Star State” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Note, I recorded this BEFORE Jake Arrieta threw his no hitter.

So it finally happened after 174 Games into the trip, and 148 Days overall. I saw a no-hitter tossed by Jake Arrieta in my only game at Dodger Stadium this year.
It was one day after my birthday party in Phoenix yesterday.
It also marked the 375th game I have been to in the MLB ever.
My buddy Ken Lee had to wait 1198 games to make his 1st no hitter count (Although he is also one of 18 crowds to ever see a 4 HR game in 2002, when Mike Cameron blasted 4 bolts at US Cellular Field.)
My pal Tike Narry has now seen 4 no-hitters or perfect games in his last 360 contests after waiting almost 600 matchups to witness his 1st 9 frames without any hits allowed. Read the rest of this entry

The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for Jake Arrieta, August 30, 2015)
Charles LeClaire, USA TODAY Sports
I think the Cubs have their Wild Card Game Starter!
No offense Jon Lester. But I have a feeling that Jake Arrieta is the right man for the job.
No hits, 1 walk, 1 error and 12 strikeouts? And the Dodgers get no hit AGAIN in the last 2 weeks.
Not a bad night for the man we can all call the Cubs ACE!
It is time to update my list!

So there are ups and downs in this trip as I have ventured out on this journey. It is not just the baseball games that I am going to….I am trying to fully heal my body and brain after having a bad accident years ago where I was hit and run by a guy.
I have come back 97% to what I need to be, but every once in a while that 3% seeps into the foray. I had one of those events yesterday.
Over the weekend, we hosted 35 ballpark chasers at my friend Ken Lee’s house in Renton. This is virtually every extreme ballpark guru in the group across the nation, with the exception of a few omissions. Ken and I sponsored a barbeque at his house in Renton, WA, USA (Home of Manfish Brewing) – and because of my free car rental days, I was able to secure transportation for all who needed shuttling around Saturday, Aug.22/2015. I also drove for 7 hours around the city picking up the top ‘ballpark chasers’ of the country.
It was a grand old-time, and all of us had the time of our lives, however I probably kicked up the adrenaline too much, and Monday was a big let down. I am feeling much better again at today. The 2nd Annual Ballpark Chasers Meetup in Seattle was a resounding success, and we set the bar high for future venue’s hosting the event in future years.
The following people had a big impact on my weekend: Ken Lee, Scott Bultman JR, Gary Herman. Mike Casiano, Paul Nieuwland, Craig Landgren, Doug Miller, Josh Robbins, Mark Chesna, Tike and Dawn Narry – and of course the rest of the 35 people at the barbeque and 60 or so people at the actual games this weekend

ASTRONOMICAL!
Mike Fiers pitched a masterpiece tonight. The Astros pitcher threw a no hitter and totally shut down the reeling Dodgers, retiring the last 21.
It is the kind of game that could be the inspiration for ONE first place team and the low point for another.
And while we are here, let’s salute Roy Oswalt, Peter Munro, Kirk Saarloos, Brad Lidge, Octavio Dotel andBilly Wagner . They were the Astros pitchers who combined for a no hitter back in 2003. It was fun for them to be listed here until tonight.
