A Perfect game?

Mussina was nearly perfect in 1997 also. Sandy Alomar broke up perfection in the 9th

I remember that. That too was a well pitched game.

Jim Maloney once walked 10 batters in a no hitter. Is that better than a one hitter? Here's a list of high-walk no hitters: http://www.baseball-reference.com/play-index/share.cgi?id=ESrS. There have been 23 where the pitcher walked at least five hitters. I'd rather see one of those than a no-walk one hitter, just for the excitement of seeing a no hitter, but the one hitter would be the better pitched game IMO.

I guess you could argue that especially if the one hit was a bloop or bunt or infield hit. I also though think that pitching a no-no shutout despite all those walks may be more difficult with the added pressure of all those runners and a most likely high pitch count.

Interesting way of rating them.

So who says so or made that determination? I would say they were the two most efficiently pitched games but a two or one hitter is never a "better" pitched game than a no hit shutout by one pitcher in my estimation.

Sept. 3, 1988: Jose Bautista threw 70 pitches for the Orioles in a 1-0 loss to the Mariners.
