Poll: No-hitter? It’s kind of getting old…
We as baseball fans have been spoiled… with good pitching that is. This season has already given us 2 perfect games (should really be 3), and 2 no-hitters. Tonight’s no-hitter tossed by Arizona Diamondback’s pitcher Edwin Jackson was sloppy to say the least. He walked 8 batters and threw 149 pitches, not to take away from the impressiveness of it. It was also against his former team, the Tampa Bay Rays, who get no-hit like its a bodily function (2 perfect games and 1 no-hitter thrown against them in the past season and a half). Maybe it’s just me, but Jackson’s no-hitter really didn’t get me excited. I was far more excited about Armando Galarraga’s should-have-been perfect game.
There have been 20 perfect games and 224 modern era no-hitters. But perhaps the most under looked pitching feat is the 20 strikeout game. It’s only been done 3 times in the history of the game. Twice by Roger Clemens and once by Kerry Wood. Stephen Strasburg… dazzle me.

Is it “no hitter” or “no-hitter”? You should probably scan this for grammatical or spelling errors.

Thanks for the English lecture Hank Moody.

Having read this I thought it was rather informative.
I appreciate you finding the time and effort to put this content together.
I once again find myself spending a lot of time both reading and leaving comments.
But so what, it was still worthwhile!
