The Lions of Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, and Matthew Stafford have some suggestions.

Don't think I'd put Stafford, playing by far the most important position, in the generational talent category.

More like a high volume shooter.

Why is Ted Simmons in the Hall of Fame? When he was first eligible, he got less than 5% of the vote and never appeared on another ballot. He was what....the fourth best catcher of the 1970s?

If the new argument for enshrinement is “better than Harold Baines?” then we will start to see all kinds of Ted Simmons-type players in the Hall.

The veterans committee use to be very protective of who got in the Hall if they failed the BBWAA vote so miserably.

The new committee ... it's like a come one, come all thing.

Whatever. If they want to water it down, to "Baines-i-fy" it, as WI_I_C might say, have at it.

I thought they Santo-ed it down before Baines.

Don't look now y'all, butt Corbin's got it all goin' on, hey?

GB Warrior · « **Reply #1706 on:** September 11, 2021, 07:45:05 PM »

Hey, this f*cking sucks!

I think its the right call, but thats the closest I've been in my lifetime to a Brewers no hitter

CreightonWarrior · « **Reply #1707 on:** September 11, 2021, 07:46:45 PM »

No surprise at all knowing Counsell

He looked like he wanted to vomit the entire 8th inning

Bigga phish ta fry. Great move by da Couns, hey?

Cy just made his final decision.

Agreed, kind of funny to watch.

Not sure what to think. Awesome W, no hitter is sweet. Loses a little luster when Corbin can’t finish it himself though.

History was set again when the Brewers combined for a no-hitter against the Indians on September 11.

For those keeping score at home, Cleveland has been no-hit 3 times this year and over 26% of all MLB teams threw a no-hitter this year.

So far.

wadesworld · « **Reply #1713 on:** September 11, 2021, 07:54:19 PM »

Had to pull him. Incredible outing. Time to go get a ring and nobody will even remember.

DegenerateDish · « **Reply #1714 on:** September 11, 2021, 07:54:35 PM »

The combined no hitter is lame.

jficke13 · « **Reply #1715 on:** September 11, 2021, 08:03:22 PM »

Agree with all of this.

It was cool. It's not the same. It's probably the right all. As a dumb fan I can wish he got a shot at finishing it.

panda · « **Reply #1716 on:** September 11, 2021, 08:05:29 PM »

Don’t burn an arm for a no hitter. Bigger fish to fry.

DegenerateDish · « **Reply #1717 on:** September 11, 2021, 08:16:58 PM »

Can’t make this stuff up.

On 9/11, Castellanos hit a homer to left to make it a 4-0 ballgame.

How does allowing a guy to try for a no-hitter jeopardize his post-season with 20 game left? I don't get it unless he asked to come out.

Agree Muggsy. His pitch count was 115, that’s not at a crazy level to let him try and finish. A 10-12 pitch ninth and he’s still safely under 130, and they could afford to let him skip a start, go shorter next two starts, etc.

It’s still a very cool accomplishment to no hit any major league team, but a combined one just isn’t the same. Nieves still has the only solo one in 52 seasons of Brewers baseball. A little disappointing Counsell didn’t let him try and finish. I’d be very surprised if Burnes asked to come out.

How many guys are even sniffing 130 pitches nowadays? I’m thinking not a lot are going above 110.

No kidding. Nobody gets to even 115. The only way a manager nowadays lets his ace go back out there when they’re Playoff bound is if it’s for a perfecto.

Counsell is arguably the best "arm manager" in the league, I'm going to trust his judgement.

jsglow · « **Reply #1723 on:** September 11, 2021, 09:59:03 PM »

Couns made the obvious right call. This team is special and burning out your Cy Young with a dozen game lead is foolish. Corbin knows it's all about October. Plus, the little added pressure on Josh was healthy. Hope Rowdy is okay.

HutchwasClutch · « **Reply #1724 on:** September 11, 2021, 10:06:24 PM »

Of this year’s no hitters, highest pitch count was 117. And that was the only pitch count higher than Burnes tonight.

Seems Counsell made the right call not letting him back out for the 9th.

What a season for the Crew. Hope there’s a lot more magic to come still.
