"Even a literal no-hitter can’t stop the Reds from losing" "Are we impressed or depressed?" - MLB world reacts to Cincinnati Reds losing a game despite a no-hitter, 6th such loss in Major League history

The Cincinnati Reds have made baseball history...just not the good kind. On Sunday, May 15, the Cincinnati Reds became the sixth team to ever lose a game without surrendering a single hit. The game was headlined by a stellar performance from young Reds fireballer Hunter Greene who dominated the Pittsburgh Pirates to the tune of 7.1 innings and nine strikeouts. The problem was that Greene surrendered five walks during his performance, and after walking two batters in the eighth inning Greene was removed from the game and replaced with right-handed reliever, Art Warren. Warren walked the first batter he faced and then got Ke'Bryan Hayes to ground into a fielders choice that allowed shortstop Rodolfo Castro to score. The Reds were unable to score, forcing the sixth ever time a no-hitter was thrown but the team throwing it took the loss.The MLB world was outraged by the display from the Cincinnati Reds on SundayTwitter was ablaze with comments regarding the oddity, and some were simply confused with what just happened.Debating Hip-Hop / Future AOTY@DebatingHipHop_@JeffPassan @hazejoey wouldn’t that count as a no-hitter for the reds?41@JeffPassan @hazejoey wouldn’t that count as a no-hitter for the reds?😂😂&quot;wouldn’t that count as a no-hitter for the reds?&quot; - @ Debating Hip-HopOthers took the opportunity to air their greivances with the state of the sport of baseball itself.Plato's Rave 🌎🗽🇺🇸💉🌻💙💛@SeekingReality7If this doesn't demonstrate why the win-loss ratio for a pitcher is meaningless nothing will twitter.com/JeffPassan/sta…Jeff Passan@JeffPassanThe Pittsburgh Pirates just won a baseball game without registering a hit.51The Pittsburgh Pirates just won a baseball game without registering a hit.If this doesn't demonstrate why the win-loss ratio for a pitcher is meaningless nothing will twitter.com/JeffPassan/sta…&quot;The Pittsburgh Pirates just won a baseball game without registering a hit.&quot; - @ Jeff PassanIf this doesn't demonstrate why the win-loss ratio for a pitcher is meaningless nothing will.Céspedes Family BBQ@CespedesBBQWake up babe, new market inefficiency just dropped twitter.com/jeffpassan/sta…Jeff Passan@JeffPassanThe Pittsburgh Pirates just won a baseball game without registering a hit.3289The Pittsburgh Pirates just won a baseball game without registering a hit.Wake up babe, new market inefficiency just dropped twitter.com/jeffpassan/sta…&quot;Wake up babe, new market inefficiency just dropped&quot; - @ Cespedes Family BBQSome Cincinnati Reds fans simply didn't know how to feel and got very introspective about it.Talkin’ Jake (Ikeman)@TalkinJake@JeffPassan are we impressed or depressed?10874@JeffPassan are we impressed or depressed?&quot;are we impresssed or depressed?&quot; - @ Talkin' Jake (Ikeman)Others simply accepted the futility that is the 2022 Cincinnati Reds.Alan Goheck@AlanButBaseballEven a literal no-hitter can’t stop the Reds from losing.571Even a literal no-hitter can’t stop the Reds from losing.&quot;Even a literal no-hitter can’t stop the Reds from losing.&quot; - @ Alan GoheckOthers were amazed by the history of the occasion.
