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.

Shelby one upped Harvey. 98 vs 97 for the game score.

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 (thirteen years ago)
but he was never "doing really well" ;)
― ballin' from Maine to Mexico (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 11 May 2013 14:13 (thirteen years ago)
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 (thirteen years ago)
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 (thirteen years ago)
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.
― clemenza, Monday, 13 May 2013 11:36 (thirteen years ago)
I've just skimmed NoTime's link, will read the whole thing later. HR aren't up, though they've (more or less) stabilized beginning in 2007. Maybe pitching is getting better.
― clemenza, Monday, 13 May 2013 12:23 (thirteen years ago)
the BP podcast guys today touched on how being a 10K+ pitcher drastically heightens your no-hit/PG odds, as you would expect -- and there are a lot of them in that category now.
