Finally - My 1st no hitter

Hemi425HP · 05-26-2018, 11:42 AM

After playing out what has to be thousands of games I finally got my first no-hitter. Corey Kluber pitched an opening day no hitter with the only blemish being a 1st inning walk to the 3rd batter. He then proceeded to sit down 25 in a row.

You may not appreciate me asking this but did you play this one out as well?

The reason I am asking is that I went through a long, New York Mets-like* franchise-history-from-inception period of no no-hitters despite having a few All-Star pitchers on my staff over the years.

When my team finally achieved a no-no, it was by a scrub and in a game that I simmed, not played out. That sort of took all the enjoyment out of it for me.

*EDIT: Heh, I wonder if whoever wrote this Wikipedia article did so tongue-in-cheek.

I did play it out. I'm very happy that I got to see it all the way through. After the 7 innings I started getting anxious and nervous.

I'm glad for you, that you witnessed the game up close and felt the anxiety and nervousness. That's part of the experience and part of the pleasant memory . . . but only as long as the guy did finish his no-hitter, of course!
