When the eighth-place hitter grounded to short, it occurred to me that had that been me, I'd have calmly thrown it 30 feet over the first baseman's head.

i like how postgame he was like "yeah i was thinking about it in like the third inning"

I was looking at the list of perfect games:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_game
Of the 21 post-1900, Felix's was the sixth 1-0 score; four have been 2-0. Obvious, but no long waits between innings is an advantage. Also, six of the 21 have come in the last three years now. Based on what I know of probability, 15 in 109 years followed by 6 in three years doesn't compute. I assume the biggest factor is the increase in batters striking out.

6 in last 3 years is kinda odd, eh?
― bnw, Thursday, 16 August 2012 00:41 (thirteen years ago)

jeremy guthrie has a one-hitter through seven, but the hit was pretty iffy, could easily have been an error
― mookieproof, Sunday, 19 August 2012 19:58 (thirteen years ago)
gave up two legit singles with two outs in the eighth, then two runs score on a hosmer error lol

Infante just made an incredible play to finish the sixth.
Not ready to take this seriously just yet. (Might not be able to take it seriously if it HAPPENS. Look at the lineup.)
― Andy K, Saturday, 15 September 2012 21:53 (thirteen years ago)
i wish i could watch it. even though i'm paying $100+ for MLB.tv, this is yet another game that is blacked out because it's on TV (which I don't have)
sigh

it has (surprisingly) been quite a long time since the pirates were no-hit, though i don't remember the date

The MLB guy said not since Gibson in the '70s.

YCPB @cantpredictballThe Pirates actually haven't been no-hit since 1971.
