Mets combined no-hitter

[familytoad]

Us Phillie Phans hated it!
But it’s okay since in the standings it only counts as one loss.

As for a team NH, it’s seemingly more difficult to keep the momentum from pitcher to pitcher.
I can see that sometimes a guy just “has it going” and the guy just puzzles hitters all day. Like Ryan and Feller on their special days.

More pitchers would probably be better odds that one of them would leave a pitch in the zone and ruin the NH.

I don’t think there are stats to prove that yet, but I do believe that combo no hitters are going to be more common place than single pitcher no-no’s.
The 16 we have now will likely eventually catch up to the single player versions…

There have been 315 no-hitters and only 17 combined, it will take forever to catch up.

Tampa did it with 6 pitchers last week, but then lost the no-no in extra innings.

In 2003 the Astros had a six pitcher no hitter.
Roy Oswalt, Peter Munro, Kirk Saarloos, Brad Lidge, Octavio Dotel and Billy Wagner.

It will surely take a long time. And I certainly will not be around this earth to see it.
But I still believe it…
