I found a John Briggs stat while looking at lead-off HR numbers. In this game Briggs joined a select group of players to hit a leadoff HR and then go on to win 1-0. -
that sums up the season pretty well
-
There is a pretty long standing unwritten rule that the first hit of the game should be a "clean" hit. If there is some question you rule it an error. The scorer is just following that so I can't blame him
-
Mattingly trying to "console" him, I would tell him shove it
-
Triple play and no hitter in the same game is pretty neat
-
Who is the only Wisconsin born player to throw a perfect game?
-
Drop a foul ball. Correct, although it has never happened. Coincidentally Hill was almost charged with a dropped foul ball error today (which I would say is ironic if I didn't know what that word meant)
-
Related trivia to the no-hitter discussion, how is it possible to throw a perfect game while still committing an error?
-
I believe there was one guy in the 1960s that is the only man in history to manage a loss while throwing a no-hitter by himself. Here it is, Ken Johnson I think there was another scenario with a combined no-hitter from the losing team
-
The way I read this, it appears that combined no hitters are still allowed as long as nine innings of pitching is involved. And it would be possible to be on the losing end of a no-hitter. The key is that MLB does not consider a no-hitter a player specific event, but a game specific event. Either a game is a no-hitter or it was not. In terms of who gets credit for the game, if it is only 1 pitcher then its all him, if there are multiple pitchers then it is combined. There is no such thing as a partial game no-hitter, even if that partial game was a full 9 innings
-
According to the Play Index, the only game in MLB history (or at least since 1913) where the starting pitcher went 9 or more innings without giving up a hit OR getting the decision, was this combined no-hitter by Francisco Cordova. So it looks like the scenario of 9 innings with no hits but then another pitcher giving up an extra inning hit has never happened.
-
No it needs to be a complete game with no hits or there is no no-hitter. You can have combined no-hitters, but the opposing team cannot get any hits ever in the game for it to count as a no-hitter. The Babe Ruth/Ernie Shore game is a decent example of this. Ruth walked the first batter, was ejected for arguing balls and strikes. Ernie Shore came in, the runner was caught stealing, and Shore faced the minimum 26 the rest of the way. Shore was the pitcher when all 27 outs were recorded with no one reaching base, but he is not credited with a perfect game. Ruth and Shore are credited with a combined no-hitter only.
-
So… if a starting pitcher loses a game in the top of the tenth inning without giving up a hit, is that still a no-hitter because he's met the 9-inning requirement? I would guess so. No examples of it happening that I could find, but that seems to fit the requirements. Ken Johnson lost in 9 innings in 1964, but the game only went 9 innings. It is not a no-hitter, I posed a few examples earlier. The Harvey Haddix game is the most famous, he pitch 12 perfect innings, but allowed a walk-off hit in the 13th and is not credited with a no-hitter. Same thing with Pedro in 1995, 9 perfect innings, allowed a hit in the 10th, no no-hitter.
-
Down by 5 with 5 innings left to hit. Arrieta has now only given up 5 total earned runs over his last 102 inning pitched.
-
Not by definition. No hitters and perfect games must be 9 innings Actually no hitters need to be 9 innings or more and complete games. So some famous games that are not no hitter include the Harvey Haddix game (at County Stadium), 12 perfect innings but then gave up hits in the 13th the Andy Hawkins game, lost a no hitter as the away team so he did not pitch in the 9th the Pedro Martinez game, perfect through 9 but his team did not score, gave up a hit in the 10th
-
Braun will get a hit in the 1st
-
I think someone will need a play index subscription to get the answer, but the answer is at least 34! (for a 9 inning game) because I can see there is 1 game in MLB history where both teams had 0 walks and at least 17 Ks.
-
Awesome, lets split the weekend for a .500 roadtrip
-
That 2014 game was Kyle Lohse's best career start by game score, 89. He threw a 2 hit, 0 BB, 6 K shutout.
-
Last 10 walk 9 inning Brewers game was in 2014, before that 2009 in a 2-3 loss
-
I support walkking him because he is still a MLB player. He isn't totally incompetent. However the pitching change was an interesting choice. Down by 3 that is a pretty conservative move. I would have gone after Scooter with the lefty to have the pitcher lead off the next inning
-
Wow walking Gennett as a LHP, either (more likely) the Pirates have no clue about his career vs LHP stats or now they think he is much improved vs lefties. Now taking him out against the pitcher with his spot coming up 3rd next inning?
-
Not sure about pinch running, but the answer is "Hurricane" Herb Washington, 31 SB 0 H Plus these Brewers: Mel Stocker, 4 SB 0 H Greg Martinez, 2 SB 0 H Broxton, now up to 3 SB 0 H Wow Washington never even had 1 PA, so all 31 were as a pinch runner. Some of the others on the list at least have some PAs
