Episode: It's not fun to be a hitter right now, a no-hitter draft, and accounting for the unquantifiable
Description: Eno, Britt & DVR discuss the current league-wide edge to pitching and the likely related six(!) no-hitters that we've seen in the first two months of 2021 before drafting pitchers in an effort to predict who will throw the seventh no-hitter of the year. Plus, the return of Stephen Strasburg, another unwritten rules violation, projections and different run environments, and an inquiry about the unquantifiable.
