Wow--hit a road bump near the end, otherwise almost under 100 pitches.

wow!that was fantastic. i love watching pitchers and catchers celebrate after a no-hitter or perfect game. baseball has a pretty awesome (and unique?) thing where pitchers/catchers have a special and defined close relationship apart from other positions

the thread is about no-hitters, but tradition dictates that you can't actually mention a no-hitter in progress because it's bad luck. hence the vague title

Gerrit Cole with a 106 game score. Holy smokes. A shame it wasn’t against Bauer.

Actually I’m calculating 100, mlb.com has it at 106.

Cole had 21 strikeouts ... 16 on the mound and 5 at the plate heh

also first combined no-hitter by the Dodgers
a combo is a purer kind of no-hitter, since they're always dependent on the defense and not one pitcher
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 5 May 2018 14:25 (six years ago) link
seems just as likely that they could be dependant on several pitchers and not the defense at all

put in a waiver claim for Newcomb over Ross in my $ league. FIP and peripherals look great on both, just came down on age/team quality.
― campreverb, Saturday, 5 May 2018 20:57 (six years ago) link
obviously having NO hits in a game is HUGELY dependent on how the defense is positioned 98% of the time, but never change NA

Fact: for a true “pitcher’s” no hitter to occur, all the fielders must be bunched up in right field. This has only happened once, in 1906 and lasted 12 innings.

to morbs: yes I understand that and agree, but am just confused why that would be more the case in a combined no-hitter than a solo no-hitter
― na (NA), Sunday, 6 May 2018 16:34 (six years ago) link
"a purer kind of no-hitter"
I'm not sure if this means more or less luck-dependent.
To me, a combined no-hitter would involve more luck. Luck is part of any no-hitter--a great play or three, help from the umpires somewhere. But starting pitchers who pitch no-hitters almost uniformly have great stuff that day. The luck is the difference between the no-hitter that gets the headline and the two-hitter that's forgotten.
With multiple pitchers, though, the odds of throwing out three or four guys in a row who all have great stuff seems less likely. One or two of the one-inning contributors might have been perfectly average; getting though an inning without giving up a hit doesn't seem particularly noteworthy.
