Perhaps..but who cares..its an NL game.... Mark Lieter was in the 7th or 8th yesterday as well..... so many NL almost no hitters....

why not wait for this to happen in the AL....then its real... not .9 as good.

Maybe you should watch professional golf instead of baseball. Lots of hitting there, lots of long drives, and no swings and misses.

Getting close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and dancing.
Perfect games and no hitters only count in AL after 1973.

Replays showed an infield single count as an out, and at least one batter who should have walked but was called strike 3 during the perfect game bid.
Neither batters were pitchers but I presume that since Hill took the hill against the *inferior* NL that it just doesn't matter.

And presumably none of the perfect games or no-hitters prior to 1973 count.

no they count the same as NL....after 1973 the AL no hitter is far superior to the NL no hitter.....plus all of these 'almost no hitters' where we get constant updates of a 6 inning 'gem' by Mark Leiter and the likes are getting annoying . In the age of pitch counts and specialization its even more skewed..

its like 19 out of last 21 no hitters are in NL parks..or something close to that..its not even close...

Why not start your own thread about NL vs AL and let those that loved the game love it?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...all_no-hitters

According to wiki, and assuming I counted correctly, there have been 113 no hitters since 1973.
AL - 51
NL - 55
Interleague - 7

Its really only been the last 5 seasons that the NL has dominated the no-hitter scene. From 1973 thru 2012 there were more slightly more AL no-hitters.

Sure, but by the same rationale, after 1973 the AL no-hitter is far superior to the pre-1973 no-hitter -- unless you're arguing that it's something other than the inclusion of a DH that makes a no-hitter really count, in which case I guess I missed your point but would love to know what it is.

if you'd said 2013 and not 1973, there'd be no argument. But you wrote 1973, so it can be debated whether or not 55-51 is "far superior"
