Well at least 9/10th of a no hitter cause its in the NL.....18 of the last 21 now in NL ballpark.... 1 hitter with no walks still better as well

Not if that 1 hit was a HR and it cost you the game.

On the first play of the game Volquez collided with the runner at first base, twisted his ankle, and it looked like he would have to come out of the game. He walked it off and then proceeded to face the minimum 27 batters through 9 innings. Pretty amazing game.

Quote:
"Whereas a National League pitcher benefits from facing up to three unqualified hitters, the opposing pitchers, during a nine inning no-hitter instead of three accomplished designated batsmen that an AL pitcher must face to achieve his no-hitter and no doubt the NL pitcher must feel inferior to his AL counterpart, He shall heretofore be granted the option of facing three additional batters. The result of these at bats shall not impact the outcome of the game, but merely serve to verify the equivalency of the "tainted" NL No No to its AL counterpart. If any of the three additional batsmen should reach first base safely as the result of a hit, the game ends and the "tainted" NL No No shall remain tainted. The hit that ends the game in this manner shall not be designated as a "walk off" single, but rather a "Jake off" single, the first Net54 eponym that will proudly take its place beside Tommy John's elbow."

I agree.....that would be a good idea.. no way Volquez gets a no-no in the American League....its really not fair to count how many no-hitters people get in the NL versus AL counterparts when factoring who had a better career...... 18 of the last 21 no hitters in NL parks...plus the 'almost no-no' occurs much more frequently in the NL......lets see two AL no hitters go back to back and ill reconsider....it wont happen..

Did you realize that I am smarter than I look (that wouldn't be difficult) and that Edison Volquez is the first pitcher to toss a no-no after undergoing Tommy John surgery? I also was a resident with Dr. Lewis Yocum, the Angels team physician for 36 years who passed away in 2013, a year before his boss Dr. Frank Jobe, both of whom are smiling in their graves after Edison's no-no. Now you know the rest of the story.
