Gotta a Baseball Question for you experts about a Perfect Game.

[LeeTJ]

OK, i think i know what a perfect game is. A game where there is NO offensive production at all. No walks, No hits.

What if a pitcher pitches a perfect game and then after the 2nd out in the 9th inning a batter gets on base due to an error, Right Fielder drops a ball that touch his glove. it was an obvious error, he wasn't on the run, it wasn't out of reach, he just dropped it.

and then the pitcher gets the next batter out. so that he has faced a total of 28 batters.


would that still be considered a perfect game?

No. 27 up 27 down.

 

[zippy]

Sadly no, I don't think so.

I know that the fielders are all really nervous during a perfect game...they don't want to fvck it up.

I could be wrong though.

wow

that sux. so it would be a perfect game with an asterisk?

if that were to happen, u think the pitcher would strangle the right fielder?

If any batter gets on base, it's not a perfect game. Error, catcher interference, dropped 3rd strike, doesn't matter, if they're on base it's not perfect.

Damn right I would

That would just be a no hitter, like it says perfect, no mistakes on the score box 0 0 0, 0 runs, 0 hits, 0 errors with 0 walks.

edited to add 0 walks.

I think Jack McDowell (Chicago White Sox) once almost pitched a perfect game several years ago - except for giving up a home run to the first batter in the first inning. That had to suck for him.

in david well's "tell all" book, he reports that he was still half drunk when he pitched his...

Yup. Wells and Cone have both done it for the Yanks.

27 batters for 27 outs

Nolan Ryan had 8 No-hitters (more than any other major league pitcher)... did he ever have a perfect game?

I thought it was 7? No perfect game either.

What if you pitch a perfect game through 9 innings, but your teammates can't score any runs for you? How about 12 innings? It happened to Harvey Haddix.

what happens if a batter gets on base due to an error but is subsequently thrown out trying to steal a base? You could still face only 27 batters but not get a perfect game.

No, once someone reaches base it's not a perfect game anymore.

That is exactly right. It has nothing to do with 0 hits 0 runs 0 errors... or 27 up 27 down. The definition of a perfect game is no base runners.

Even if the only runner gets thrown out trying for a double it doesn't count as a perfect game since he gets credit for a single.

 

[Krugger]

Curt Schilling when he was with the Phillies pitched a perfect game thru 9 innings. A relatively easy ball was hit to... Charlie Hayes maybe? and he blew the throw to first, perfect game over. was an error, so it still counted as a no-hitter, but boy that sucked...
