Perfect Game Alert

[tdawg87]

Rich Hill is perfect through 7 for the Dodgers. 

Hopefully he breaks his arm on the first pitch of the 8th inning and then retires. 

[fan_since79]

Dogs have a runner at second base in the 8th inning, two outs.

Scoreless game so far.

[tdawg87]

Actually, I hope he pitches a no-hitter but the Dodgers lose on a bunch of errors. 

[fan_since79]

Pirates' SS made a great catch to rob Forsythe of an RBI.

No score going to the bottom of the 8th. Only 73 pitches for Hill.

Wow, Utley with a spectacular leaping catch of the line drive.

Perfecto still in place.

 

[m0nkey]

Very generous call to end the 8th

[fan_since79]

Called strike three!

24 straight.

Trivia: Who are the only two pitchers to throw nine perfect innings yet not win the game?

Nolasco and Chavez?

[fan_since79]

Pedro Martinez and Harvey Haddix.

Haddix retired 36 straight then lost the game in the 13th inning.

So does Forsythe still hope he gets a no hitter?

You're on the way.

Forsythe boots it at third, perfecto gone.

Now a balk and a wild pitch and we're set. This game actually reminds of that time against the Twins when Jered Weaver pitched a 9 inning shutout and didn't get a win because Anthony Swarzar took a no-hitter into the ninth against us. I think we lost that game in the 10th

It was actually against the Dodgers and it was a combined no hitter. 

He did no-hit the Twins.

Found it, it was this game: http://www.espn.com/mlb/boxscore/_/id/310528109

Swarzak took a no-hitter into the 8th, not the 9th, and Bourjos had our only hit. 

[m0nkey]

Jonathan Sanchez threw a no hitter where the only baserunner reached on an error by Juan Uribe (a defensive replacement) 

[m0nkey]

Walk off homer.  Thank you

Ha.

Hell no. 

[nate]

Man, I talk shit on the Dodgers as much as anyone but that was brutal.  Feel bad for Hill, dude pitched 9 perfect innings (Forsythe probably didn't want to return to the dugout at the end of the 9th) only to lose it in the 10th.

[Angel Oracle]

Nice job to ruin the chance at a 9 inning perfecto, Bill Russell Forsythe

[Stradling]

Wasn't it 8 innings of perfect ball?  9 innings of no hit no walk ball?  

[fan_since79]

AO meant he ruined the possibility of a nine-inning perfecto, which has happened only twice* in MLB history.

*without a pitcher winning the game
