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.

He retired 27 in a row in one game, how many times has that happened? (Ernie Shore and ... ?)
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Saturday, 11 May 2013 08:10 (eleven years ago) link
but he was never "doing really well" ;)

Miller is only the second pitcher in the last 31 seasons to allow the first batter to reach base, then retire every hitter after that for a nine-inning complete-game win, joining John Lackey (2006 Angels against the Oakland Athletics).
― ballin' from Maine to Mexico (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 11 May 2013 14:34 (eleven years ago) link
Lester's one-hitter against the Toronto Mud Hens last night had a game score of 90. So Cain (101)/Dickey(95) on June 13 of last year beat Miller (98)/Lester (90) by...8 game scores, or whatever. (They also win in hits allowed, 1-2).

interesting. i'm more curious about why pitching is getting so much better than what it means for defense.

This article explains a lot:

― NoTimeBeforeTime, Monday, 13 May 2013 11:34 (eleven years ago) link
I'm not sure if that chart points to the conclusion that pitching's getting better (literally not sure; I don't know). My interpretation is that as defenses get better, hitters have concluded it's better to swing from the heels and go for home runs more deliberately, which drives up both HR and strikeouts, and also drives down balls in play.
