Henderson Alvarez No-No Watch

[jshep]

Through 8 against the Tigers.

 

but he plays for the Marlins, so of course it's still 0-0

[jshep]

Finished 9 no-hit innings, but it remains to be seen if it will end up an official no-hitter.

 

Marlins need a run.

What an odd situation when you have 9 no hit innings and you can't really celebrate because your team hasn't scored yet.

[sneaky_flute]

If it's 0-0 after 9 innings, does that count as a no-hitter?

[jshep]

If it's 0-0 after 9 innings, does that count as a no-hitter?

 

It sounds like it wouldn't. Not 100% sure, but that's the impression I get.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

2 on with only 1 out. 

[nate]

Oh man, why no contact play!??!?!?!?

[jshep]

And the Marlins win it on a wild pitch.

 

Henderson Alvarez officially gets his no-hitter!

[nate]

Wow, that was crazy.  And awesome.

[jshep]

Seeing a pitcher celebrate his no-hitter from the on-deck circle is nuts.

[gotbeer]

hahahaha.  Really?  That is just awesome.

I love baseball

0-0 after nine innings is NOT a no hitter, BTW...........Harvey Haddix of the Pittsburgh Pirates years ago had a perfect game through 11 or something and lost it in the 12th --

 

did not count as a no hitter or perfect game.

 

The end to Alvarez's no hitter today was unusual, he was the on-deck hitter when the winning run scored giving him the official no-no.

 

gives Miami something to cheer for.........can't understand why both the Florida and Miami MLB franchises have turned out to be real disappointments (not just the on field stuff -- although Florida did win a World Series a few years back and then the ownership pretty much dismantled the championship team during the off-season).........but the Florida based franchises have never really drawn well -- they did have lousy parks to play in initially, but now they have new parks........and attendance still weak.........

 

perhaps they get enough up-close, smaller stadium type baseball in March down there............

Kind of neat to watch.
