That was a really fun night, even if it was just shy of being a *REALLY* fun night. I often hear that Kyle Hendricks doesn’t have “no-hit stuff,” but if a guy who limits hard contact better than anyone in baseball and has the 13th best strikeout rate among starting pitchers in the NL doesn’t have “no-hit stuff,” then I clearly don’t know what “no-hit stuff” is. And whatever it is, Hendricks doesn’t need it.
… but, like, shut up about it. Of course Hendricks has no-hit stuff. Watch him embarrass a few guys with his changeup already.
We’ll have much more on Kyle Hendricks’ near-no-hitter and brilliant season later today. For now, other Bullets …
