Thank you guys so much for 4,000 followers!. I’m seriously so grateful to talk Cubs every day with people who care as much as I do. It’s been such a fun ride these last 8 months. Can’t wait to see where it goes from here. Genuinely, thank you.

The last no-hitter came over a year ago, when Shota Imanaga, Nate Pearson, and Porter Hodge combined for one. There hasn’t been one in 2025 — the last season without a no-hitter was 2005.
NO-HITTER NO MORE. Jackson Holliday homers with two outs in the 9th to end Yoshinobu Yamamoto's no-hitter 🤯
