I hope it's not clubhouse strain. It's customary for the players to stay away from the pitcher in the dugout when they're throwing a no-hitter, so I thought that could have been what he meant, but it's odd that he said "not the first time."
Yeah, they showed some shots of him sitting alone between innings as the game progressed, Nobody talks to a pitcher in the middle of a no hitter. He was just joking about being ignored other times.
