No-Hitter/Perfect Game Watch Thread

Max Scherzer currently perfect through 7 innings against the Pirates in DC. He looks untouchable.

This thread will probably jinx him.

Really wish we could have opened PA's purse strings for him.

Espinoza with a great play for the 24th out.

Fun to watch so far but I had to mute it. My ears started bleeding.

Tabata not going down easily.

Can you challenge that just out of curiosity?

Santangelo crying about it. :laughlol:

The Nats announcers are upset but I think they are dead wrong in their complaints about "not getting out of the way" in a 6-0 nothing game. These guys are still competing and there's a pride factor.

Edit:

In case they got the consolation prize of a no hitter, which is not too shabby.

I don't know much about the deeper rules of baseball, but is there a rule about when a batter leans into a ball that wouldn't have hit him if he hadn't moved? I think it's pretty weak that the perfect game is lost because of a pitch like that which usually would never hit the batter because it's just a sort of normal inside pitch.

He did drop his elbow into it though, no?

He didn't make that much of an attempt to get out of the way but he did try and pull a way a little at the last second. In any case that rule is almost never called.
