FINALLY! My first managed NO-HITTER!
Alex Wood was perfect thru 7.1. He walked a batter on a 3-1 count (UUUUUUUGH). This is my first time managing a no-hitter since I started doing game management during the regular season beginning on OOTP17.

Agree on the managed part. I used to sim games a lot rather than playing them out and the couple of times that my pitchers threw a no-hitter were okay, I guess. Not overly exciting.
In the last year or so, however, I learned the proper way to play OOTPB which is to slow down and play out your games. (Of course, one-pitch mode and play to RISP speed things up while still being in full managerial control, thank goodness.) So, when my pitcher took a perfect game into the 8th inning of the 8th and deciding game of the World Series (the 1903 World Series was best of 9 games), I was on the edge of my seat. My mouse trembled before clicking each play! Sure I was crushed when the perfect game was spoiled with an error in the eighth and the no-hitter went with a single in the ninth. I had to settle for a 1-hit shutout that won us the World Series. So yes, I will continue to look forward to my first managed no-hitter. Thanks for sharing yours.

Alex Wood has no-hit my Oshawa Oopsies 2X in 3 seasons in my fun regional league. By my math he is due to pitch against us in about 3 weeks, I'll post screenshots when he destroys us again. |

I once managed a perfect game but didn’t realize it until I looked at the box score. I was so glad I didn’t bring the closer in.

Congrats.
It's amazing how late in the game you can feel the anaconda around your throat, although all you are doing is pressing a button. Been playing OOTP and before that Baseball Mogul for probably a decade. It was probably five seasons in before I got my first no-hitter, can't remember who, but it had to be one of my Cardinals franchises. I'm about to begin fifth season (2023) with the St. Louis River Walkers, I play out every batter of every game. I think I have had two no-hitters, both by Kyle Hendricks in 2021 and 2022.

I managed a perfect game through 9 innings and unfortunately scored 0 runs myself. Disappointing and though I won in 11, the starter had to be pulled.
