What’s Rob Reading?

Madison Bumgarner (GETTY IMAGES)

“Madison Bumgarner made history, just not of the no-hitter variety”
By Hannah Keyser, Yahoo! Sports

“As I watched Madison Bumgarner enter the home stretch of the second game of a pair of seven-inning doubleheaders having not given up a single hit on Sunday afternoon, I felt sort of bad for him! One of the worst pitchers in the sport in a shortened 2020, Bumgarner has finally started to look like his old self on a new team over the past few starts. Watching him take such a gem into the seventh and final inning felt like a missed opportunity to watch one of the grittiest guys grind through until the end or a hit, whichever came first. Ultimately, Bumgarner finished the game without giving up a hit, the first time in a storied career that he’s done that, but was not credited with an official no-hitter, according to MLB and Elias. In a world with seven-inning doubleheaders, some starts never even get the chance to enter the record book that way.”
