OT: Pirates avenge Harvey Haddix game
Check out tonight's Dodger-Pirates game.
Rich Hill loses no hitter in 10th on a homerun. Loses perfect game in 9th on an error. Neither has happened in baseball history! Wow. |
I was thinking the same thing.
|
Love it! hopefully it'll light a fire under 'em down the stretch.
|
One of the enjoyable games I've watched in a long time.
|
What a great game.

When was the last time a starting pitcher took the mound in the 10th inning? That alone is a rarity.
And as rare as that game was, what the Dodgers are doing this season is equally amazing. How can they not win it all this year? |
I'm in Pittsburgh for work and went to the game last night. Can't say I was really rooting for either team through most of the game, but definitely was pulling for Rich Hill after about the sixth inning. Was certainly a fun one to watch!
|
The only thing better than a Dodger loss is a Pirates win. Very enjoyable game.
|
Maybe I'm wrong but I seem to remember Jonathan Sanchez lost a perfect game int he 9th when Juan Uribe made an error.

:p Getting close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and dancing. Perfect games and no hitters only count in AL after 1973. Replays showed an infield single count as an out, and at least one batter who should have walked but was called strike 3 during the perfect game bid. Neither batters were pitchers but I presume that since Hill took the hill against the *inferior* NL that it just doesn't matter. |

Great game. I was there. If you love baseball you loved that game. I'm a big time Pirate fan but I was secretly rooting for a perfect game. After the error I was rooting for my Buccos.

I love the negativity on what was a great baseball game. ever notice how some people are negative on just about everything.
|
Not to derail completely, since I really feel that a no hitter and a perfect game counts in both leagues ever since baseball was invented.
Rich Hill's effort is the finest of his career...and despite today's 7 inning environment it should be applauded. Just being in the game in the 10th inning is remarkable! Some of the membership here (okay maybe just one guy) seems to have an opinion that since the DH was instituted , only AL No-hitters are valid. Whatever... Anyway, In the replay era , it's interesting to see how some details of the game play can be scrutinized. The diving play by Chase Utley, the suspicious infield hit called an out by Josh Bell and a suspect third strike against Sean Rodriguez. Imagine how many details we get to see now that go unmentioned from no hitters in the past. Does anyone know any details about the Johnny Vander Meer no hitters like those situations above that really determined the outcome? Replay is great! |

Why not start your own thread about NL vs AL and let those that loved the game love it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

According to wiki, and assuming I counted correctly, there have been 113 no hitters since 1973. AL - 51 NL - 55 Interleague - 7 Its really only been the last 5 seasons that the NL has dominated the no-hitter scene. From 1973 thru 2012 there were more slightly more AL no-hitters. |

You are correct the NL has dominated the no hitter scene. Thats why they arent' worth the same as AL. 19 of the last 21 no hitters in NL parks? Plus its about a 7-1 ratio in terms of 7 inning almost no hitters Talking about 1975 is the same thing as talking about 1933 right now. Those are both ancient history. I've been talking about this for awhile and the pace keeps corroborated what I have been saying. Like i been saying, lets see two AL no hitters occur back to back and you wont hear anything else from me on this subject. |

I'll do better. I have a PSA 2 1955 Topps Clemente that says at least 2 of the next 5 no-hitters will be in the AL. Do you have anything comparable to put up?

What does worth more even mean? What is it you want to see happen? Should an AL pitcher get 2 wins, 2 complete games, and 2 shut outs for every no hitter? And should an NL pitcher have to pitch 2 no hitters to be credited with one? I just can't understand what the argument is.

I bascically tired of the almost no hitter for NL contests. Rich Hill has 2 of them in the past year. Marlins had a no hitter last game of the year by the great Henderson Alverez not long ago..and Edison Volquez this year. Its getting pretty ridiculous.. Id rather give up 1 hit then walk 4 guys with no hits..but thats another issue.. |

If it gets to 40 of 44 ..we are supposed to throw a parade of the NL no hitter? When will it be unreasonable? Never? |

If feel almost like I'm feeding a troll now, but here goes: Perfect games are more difficult, and thus more significant, than no - hitters. Now, if I am not mistaken, 4 of the last 6 perfect games were thrown against American League teams. If we take the principle that the league with the most no-hitters is the weaker league, and if we apply that principle to perfect games, then we must conclude that the American League fields much weaker teams (by a ratio of 3:2) than does the senior circuit--at least over the last decade. QED

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._perfect_games Since 1973 there have been 14 perfect games, 9 of which were in AL stadiums (and 7 of the last 10!). Fun tidbit .... Addie Joss needed just 74 pitches to throw his 1908 perfect game vs CHW! |

As far as perfect games occurring in the AL more than the NL......all perfect games are no hitters...you going to need a no hitter to get a perfect games..ill take the odds of whats happened 19 of the last 21 or so times.... Quote:

Times the probability that there will be two or more (without relief pitchers) within the next year.

"Avenge??" curious word choice. How do you avenge something against an uninvolved, disinterested third party? If memory serves, Haddix' game in '59 was against the Braves, not the Dodjuhs and won by an Adcock HR. I also question whether current Pirates' players in the recent game, ever heard of Harvey Haddix, or for that matter his famous game. To do so would require a modicum of simple baseball history, something the current self-involved players likely lack, if for no other reason all were born decades after 1959.
