Combined No-Hitter (Not news?)

pumph · 08-20-2013, 12:32 AM

After Strasburg got injured, I needed 2 relievers to finish off the game. Not only was there no mention of a No-hitter in the pbp, or any generated league news, the opposing pitcher was named the player of the game!

Sure he went the distance, but really?

I think this should have at least generated a news story.

well maybe because Strasburg didn't pitch the minimum innings to get the win.

First... congrats on the combined no-hitter. I came sooo close to my first combined no-no just a few days ago... My best righty reliever gave up back to back singles with two outs on the bottom of the 9th.. Which was a bit nerve racking, as it ended up being a 1-0 victory.

Of course, I've always been snakebit with the no-no's... in roughly 40 seasons or so in my last three leagues of managing almost every inning, I've thrown one no-hitter... along with at least 8 or 10 one-hitters lost somewhere in the 9th inning.

As far as your situation, yea it should have at least generated a news story. But with the 'game score' calculation being what it is... I can see how none of your guys did enough individually to take it.

I don't think combined no hitters are recognized at all. I think they should be though.

congratulations on the combined no-hitter .... don't forget you can create your own news story along with it.

I had my first no-hitter the other day using Strasburg. I have had versions of this game since 2001 and FINALLY got my no-no LOL

I found this thread when looking for information about combined no-hitters after getting one myself in a vital play-off game (game 2 of a 5 game series, having been shutout 1-0 in game 1). It was my first no-hitter of any kind and also the first in a major league play-off game in my league (now finishing its 7th season).

I was surprised as well that there was no new story generated - I think there ought to be really - so I wrote one myself.

My starting pitcher did get Player of the Game - he pitched 7 no-hit innings and came out of the game after giving up a lead-off walk (his 2nd of the game) in the 8th. I then used three relievers to get the final six outs and won the game 2-0.

Yeah it would be nice if the game could catch these, but I assume it might be a little more challenging to detect a combined no-hitter than one by a single pitcher.

The nice thing is that if something like that happens, you can always write your own Game Recap and make it a league news story. That's what I do for big achievements I notice that the game doesn't (first major league homers from a big prospect, playoff clinching victories, etc.)

more challenging to detect? how freaking hard is it to check the hits column? considering that the game will add minor league stats to my major league player in the PbP perhaps challenging is the right word. carry on, nothing to see here
