Bleh, I have the MLB Network on in the background. If I'd been paying attention I could have seen the 9th. That doesnt count as a perfect game? 11k's too. Not bad for a guy who was 2-8 to start the night...
nope, perfect game is 27 up 27 down. 0 errors, walks, hits ect... I believe Pedro, on the Expos had a perfect game going to the 9th, the game was 0-0 so it went to the 10th, once it went to the 10th, the perfect game was over, even if they scored in the 10th and won 1-0 with 0 hits, walks, errors, ect...has to be a full 9 inning game, cant be over or under, i believe
Yeah once I walked away from the comp I realized the facing the min batters thing. Still a great game. It was against the Padres though so he only gets half credit lol.
Doesn't have too. A No-Hitter is still an amazing accomplishment. What kills me is, Sanchez wasn't supposed to start this game. Randy Johnson was.
LOL, I remember that day like it was yesterday. It was a no hitter by the team, not by the starting pitcher.
Might have been Ramon. I can't remember. But if I do recall correctly, he lost it in the 10th when he hit a batter. And the batter charged the mound!
still, no hitters happen all the time, once a year really, Perfect Games, are rare. He also hit a batter yesterday but the batter swung and it was strike 3
A perfect game is setting down every batter you face. If it went more than 9 innings it would still be a perfect game. If its less I'm pretty sure it just goes down with a little * next to it saying how many innings it was, but not as sure about this. What happened with Pedro was the game went into the 10th and he allowed a hit, I'm 90% sure.
Yeah the game ended with Pedro giving up a hit, i always thought the perfect game was ruined because it went to the 10th, but according to mlb you can pitch 20 perfect innings and it counts as a perfect game... but the games does have to be atleast 9 innings. http://www.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/about_mlb/rules_regulations.jsp
