I’m writing this on a Friday morning. Thursday, the Cubs organization had its second four-way no-hitter on successive nights. DJ Herz, Jeremiah Estrada, Bailey Reid, and Danis Correa combined for a four-way no-hitter on Wednesday for Low-A Myrtle Beach. More than a couple fans have objected to a multi-pitcher no-hitter even counting. Part of that is due to unfamiliarity of newer ideas. I’m completely in favor of riding the unfamiliar wave as far as it goes. Keegan Thompson should be returned to Iowa, and extended to 70 pitches. As it is, he’s not getting any work in Chicago — he’s pitched once, and only for 16 pitches, in the last 10 days.
