NO-Hitters....better than 1 hitters?
I am annoyed when they celebrate a no-hitter with 4 or so walks...
Isnt a 1 hitter without any walks better?
Less base runners...and it also means if the pitcher has a 3-0 count..he cant just throw another clear ball to preserve the 'no-hitter' which isn't good for the team because of the new baserunner.
I understand sometimes walks happen, in a tied game you may want to see if the better swings at a ball at 3-0 then let him in a homerun...but when you see these 3-6 walk games no hitters..they seem MUCH more celebrated than a 1 or 2 hitter.....I thought a walk is as good as a hit....yet we still talk about these no hitters .
