I did thanks to this, thanks.Anyone fading Turnbull tonight for the Tigers in his first start after the no hitter?
Do 7-inning games count?O/U for no hitters this season 23.5
What you taking?
MLB is not acknowledging 7 inning no hitters so I won’t eitherDo 7-inning games count?
I know they don’t, only Railbird counts them.MLB is not acknowledging 7 inning no hitters so I won’t either
That is a very interesting question.Another hypothetical is let's say a pitcher has a perfect game through 9 innings, but the game is tied 0-0. The pitcher comes out to face the top of the 10th, with a runner put on 2nd base automatically. Is the perfect game then ruined due to the a runner being awarded 2nd base per the rules? The pitcher didn't allow this runner to reach base. Technically his teammates did by not scoring any runs. I suppose in this scenario the perfect game would be over.

It's an unearned baserunner. The perfect game would still be intact until a batter legitimately got on base. It's not the pitcher's fault that Manfred had (another) brain camp and made a stupid rule.
In your scenario, if the next 3 batters all ground out, and the run comes around to score, how could you have a perfect game if the other team has scored a run?
The short answer is, "you can't."
And again.....it all goes back to the stupidity of Manfred in trying to speed up the game.
If you want the game to be faster, go back to 90 second breaks between innings. What?.......you might lose money from advertising?........well forget about that!
It would help if batters would get their asses in the box when they hit instead of going through the ritual of touching every part of their body in between pitches.
In the 60s and 70s, a 14-8 game could be played in 2:30. Today, that same game might take 4 hours. It is no wonder why baseball is losing its popularity.
You see rotating ads next to the pitching rubber from the CF camera now.Good point about shortening the commercial time between innings.
Every part of the game seems to be commercialized these days.
Who needs two minutes and 20 seconds between innings?
The first pitch is sponsored, the weather forecast is sponsored, the fifth inning is sponsored and the announcers are constantly mentioning ticket sales and upcoming promotions.
Billboards are everywhere at the stadium and companies are looking for spots to connect with their local baseball teams.
Sell the ad time before the game or after the game, but let's get the action on the field moving at a faster pace.

Great article. The problem is the league wants to treat the symptoms; not fix the problem. The problems all trace back to velocity:
Velocity is strangling baseball — and its grip keeps tightening - The Washington Post
on pace, nice early april call railbirdIm expecting 10 or more
If there's been simulcast to horse racing, expect it real soon.When are sports books coming to a stadium near you?
a no hitter thru 4 in milwaukee so farlike i said, with all these hispanics swinging out of their ass and so many whifs im expecting this year to have most no hitters ever, no hitters are no longer a big deal imo. they will be as common as stingrays off the seal beach pier, ask any of those fisherman how common, they catch a sting ray every 10 minutes
i was a better qb than pitcher imo. but not on paper.i threw 2 Two 1 hitters One in highschool, 1 vs newport harbor and 1 vs woodbridge
funny story as of 2015 i could throw a football from home to 2nd base but not a baseball, have had a micro tear in shoulder from tennis since and now a wrist injury so cant play tennis, which has caused depression according to some doctors.i was a better qb than pitcher imo. but not on paper.
