A No-No during a "No-No"

Exactly.

Here too. Agree 100% Screw no hitters. That one hit might start a rally, and winning is the only "rule" I am worried about.

Since the score was 3-0 there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. You are trying to win the game and baserunners are an important factor in doing that. If it was a blowout, I would have a different feeling.

That said, it would be frustrating in this game because it does seem too easy at times.

Yea I was watching that! Crazy. Broken bat base hit, tough way to lose a no-hitter. Especially considering the great catch on the next batter! Bummer.

I despise Chone Figgins! I believe the Angels are paying him to suck for us For a little man, he's got a big, annoying ego.

He might have the worst contract in baseball right now. 250, no power, .340 OBP last year, and a .646 OPS. That is not good production for 9 million.

Perhaps you never played baseball before. The unwritten rules of baseball are there for a reason. Perhaps some are stupid reasons, but others are for protection. The beauty of unwritten rules is that you can break them any time you want; you just have to be aware of the consequences. Go ahead and break up that no hitter with a bunt. You will most definitely get drilled the next time up to bat, and perhaps the time after that.

As a matter of fact I played ball for a while, unfortunately I was not good enough to play after high school but I played. I even pitched a bit. To me I alway took it as such. I am going to give you the best I got, if you are giving me your best, then let's go. Just like I won't quick pitch ya, you don't bitch me. As most have said if you, in my book are withing 4 runs of me play to win. If you are down by more then half a lineup, don't bitch me. You do that sure one might get away next time.

If my team is being no-hit in real life, this is just more incentive for me to want to lay a bunt down. You are more than welcome to drill me in my next at-bat, because thats just another rally opportunity. 2 productive at-bats just for holding my bat at a weird angle? I'll take it.

This is much more my angle on this. I probably wouldn't even hit the guy. That would be too much given away, but I would probably make the guy hit the deck to get away from one.


But as another said I would agree, the rules are made to be broken as long as you have decided that it is worth doing after thinking about the rule.

He has been one of those that stereotypically starts "slow". Much like Texiera except for this year. I think they all made a pact to start off good this year, even though I can't stand the Yankees... anyway off topic
