What a way to lose a no-hitter

[jimmythegreek]

Where is it Hunter? Was that you or Mike Pence losing that can of corn in the left field twilight??

Say it ain't so, Johnny Cueto!

He only pitched 5.2 innings...

True but if you saw the play you would be shaking your head in disgust.

Fair point. But even if that play never happens he had as much of a chance of no-hitting the Doyers as I did

If you aren't into at least the 7th inning, it's not even ready to be talked about (no-hitter). A perfect game through 5.2? Or even four (4) innings is something to talk about.

I didn't expect Cueto to throw a no hitter against the Dodgers either. My post though, as mentioned in the title thread, was to reflect upon how he lost it, rather than chance. Cueto was mowing them down but he appeared to be rattled when Turner hit a 3 run HR in the same inning.

Would Cueto have gone on to pitch the no hitter, likely not. Was it a shitty way to lose a no hitter, absolutely

He had only 63 pitches at the time. Announcers said that if he had the opportunity after 6 that his count would be extended. Irrelevant now.
