I just had an awful idea: What happens if someone pitches a no-hitter / perfect game in one of the 7-inning doubleheader games? Will MLB have to count it as official? Because now I'm once again having stabby thoughts directed at Rob Manfred.
I see the full playoffs in a bubble plan is out, you know Manfred is going to gush about the world series in neutral location part, and want to make it permanent.
Alec Mills (Cubs) just threw a no-hitter in Milwaukee.
Expanded playoffs here to stay?

Honestly, I can't see this happening without a reduction in the number of regular season games.
I hope they stilll have the exhibition games in Montréal next year.
This is a new one on me: Josh Donaldson was thrown out of the game after hitting a home run.
On the previous pitch, he argued with the umpire about a called strike to the point that the Rangers manager came out to further argue. After hitting the home run, he kicked dirt across home plate and he was immediately ejected. Then, and this is my favorite part, Donaldson turned back around from his trot to the dugout to kick even more dirt all over home plate.![]()
I checked the Blue Jays' schedule and there doesn't seem to be any room for the Montréal games on it.
I mean, these games always used to come before the Jays' home opener, but they're booked solid for that time. Maybe this time they'll do it before the Jays' road opener? (there's a few days free before that game)
