It’s VERY possible tonight’s Astros pitcher throws a no-hitter on the day they bring back a guy who has 3 on his resume.

[MLB @MLB]

No pitcher in the 21st century has fired a no-hitter in fewer pitches than Framber Valdez did tonight. 👏

(MLB x @BudweiserUSA)

[FOX Sports: MLB @MLBONFOX]

What a day in Houston! On the same day the Astros acquire Justin Verlander, Framber Valdez throws a complete game no-hitter.

The last Astro to throw a complete game no-hitter: Justin Verlander

@CodifyBaseball It's easy to forget that last year's numbers were down because Covid was still a major concern for many people, especially in the earlier part of the season. The real tell will be attendance numbers in the coming years with the 2023 season as a baseline.

@baseballstatcz @chibalotte @FightersPR That's awesome!!!

[Thomas Carrieri @Thomas_Carrieri]

Crazy Fact: Major League Baseball has been around for 147 years, and there have been a little over 23,000 players who have played a professional baseball game.

To put that in perspective, MLB's smallest stadium by capacity is Progressive Field at 37,830. Meaning if every player who's ever put on a big league uniform from 1876 to 2023 sat in the stands, the stadium would only be at 61% capacity.

The Orioles own the best record in the AL.

The Orioles have the 2nd-lowest payroll in baseball.

The Orioles' top eight players (by WAR) are all under 30.

The Orioles have eight of the top 100 prospects in baseball.

Buy your stock now.

The first ever issue of Sports Illustrated Magazine (August 16, 1954) included this ballpark, can you name it?

[World Baseball Project @WBPofficial]

Whaaa?! It's already 2024 schedule drop time...

Time sure does fly when you're havin' fun watchin' baseball! 😂

[Philadelphia Phillies @Phillies]

Psssssst. We dropped something.

Our 2024 season schedule 👀

[Codify @CodifyBaseball]

Shohei Ohtani singled, tripled, hit a two-run home run, and hit a sacrifice fly as the Los Angeles Angels lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers, 10-5.

@BaseballQuotes1 Same design firm that came up with the uniform for Great Britain in the World Baseball Classic?

@GretaLanghenry This is awesome.

[Reuters @Reuters]

A Cuban all-female umpire team is winning praise as they travel the Caribbean island to oversee several national baseball championship games. They are the first such group of women to call the shots in a profession long-dominated by men

[World Baseball Project @WBPofficial]

@GretaLanghenry There's nothing like reliving baseball memories via scorebook record. What a gem of a photo story!

A thread of Bryce Harper’s last 355 days:

May 12, 2022: #Phillies reveal Bryce Harper has small tear in his UCL; shut down from throwing for four weeks but continues to hit

Roki Sasaki just hit 165 kmh (102.5 mph), tying Shohei Ohtani’s Japanese-born record for the fastest pitch ever recorded.

@thebobbymoshow Love reading about this focus on the fans. Baseball desperately needs more of that.
