    Kyle Hendricks pitched a gem yesterday.  Was a thing of beauty to watch.  He hasn't looked great this year, 2-4 thus far, but an 81-pitch complete game shutout is pretty impressive.  It's one of those games where although he gave up 4 hits, he looked better than some pitchers who have no hit a team.  That it came against the Cardinals made it that much sweeter.

    I guess the days of complete game shutouts are coming to an end;  or at least to a significant rarity.


    A sign of how in baseball the times have changed:


    The other day as I was leaving work I turn on the radio in the car and on the ESPN channel the network announcer says "...and earlier today we had this.." and they break to the announcer of a baseball game who says "...1-2 count here's the wind-up and the pitch.  STRIKE THREE!  He's done it!" and as I'm wondering who has pitched a no-hitter the announcer continues "...Noah Syndergard has pitched a complete game 4 hit shutout!"

    Was that the 1-0 game where he hit the game winning solo homer?
