No Hitter

[jpup]

I threw a no hitter yesterday afternoon with AJ Burnett against the White Sox. I allowed only 2 base runners. The first was a walk to Juan Pierre, but I forced the next hitter to ground into a double play. The only other baserunner was Andruw Jones who reached on an error by Mark Texeira.

This was my first no hitter on the PS3. The last one I threw was with Eric Milton in MLB 2006. I did throw a 2 hit shutout with Andy Pettitte, the other day, which was actually a more dominating performance than this one. To be honest, the no hitter did feel a little scripted. The error by Texeira should have been a hit IMO and there was a ball that was scorched up the middle, but hit Burnett in the leg and went into his glove so I was able to throw the runner out at first. ARod also made every play over at third base. He saved 3 or 4 that would normally be hits. Maybe I am just getting better earlier this year, but something was funny about it. With that said I did feel a sense of accomplishment although there was no gamer trophy awarded for this.

Re: No Hitter

Congrats, I have yet to accomplish this. Best I had was a no-no threw the 7th and it never fails someone always gets a hit. I play on legend hitting on HOF pithcing so I guess it's more of a brute trying to achieve a no-hitter on this level.

Re: No Hitter

That's gotta be a good feeling to get a no-no. In all my years of gaming I have yet to have one of my own. Have taken a few into the 7th inning a couple of times only to buckle under the pressure and serve up a lemon. Peace!!!

Re: No Hitter

Nice job Jpup. I was thinking I was going to make a post like this last night. Took a no-no into the 7th with Gil Meche vs Detroit. Unfortunately that ever elusive no hitter escaped from my hands. Some day I'll get one.

Re: No Hitter

Took one into the ninth in RTTS once and we lost the game because the other pitcher was almost as good. I gave up a leadoff double and was taken out, the reliever let it score, and that tied it at 1-1. We lost in extra innings.

Good on the CPU pitchers for not giving up, I guess.

Re: No Hitter

WTG, normally those infield grounders go through, just under the glove. closest I got was with Zach Duke against the Nats, Marquis squbbed one up the middle in the fifth, then, not a sniff the rest of the game, one hitter to the pitcher. Grrrrrrrrr.

So hats of to you, young man.

Re: No Hitter

I took a no-hitter into the 7th with Grienke in MLB '09. That's the closest I've ever been. And this was on Rookie.

Re: No Hitter

Had a near perfect game in MLB 09 The Show with Randy Johnson against the Twins (using Knight's Classic Rosters). Had the perfect game through 8 2/3 innings, and had the final batter (I think it was Gary Gaetti) down 0-2. And my instinct told me to throw the slider low and away, but I decided to throw the 2 seamer low and away, and make it run back in over the outside corner. Sure enough, Gaetti blooped it softly over the shortstop, and the perfect game was gone.

Re: No Hitter

BTW, Cervelli was the catcher. I had to give Posada the day off because he was slumping bad.

Thanks guys.

Re: No Hitter

in mlb 07 on the ps3, pitching was pretty easy, ( i threw 3 perfect games in one year i think, one was the world series winner, lol, i played on easy though, so you can say i didnt truely earn those) i also threw a perfecto in 2010 in AA but had to start a new one because of the game not letting me advance any further in the schedule in rtts, which was dissappointing (i dont walk guys, its a waste of my time to be honest, i get ticked off when i walk someone, i dont care if its pujols or a-rod or whatever, i dont walk them, not purposely anyways, (or if the accursed manager tells me too or the umpire is choosing to be blind) (and by the way, i normally only throw 10 or less balls the entire game in a shutout, lol, which is why i play on easy, i wouldnt be able to get away with that on any of the harder modes)

Re: No Hitter

In all my years playing the show and other baseball games the only no no i threw was a few weeks ago with Ted Lilly against the Astros. Would've had the PG but Fontenot booted a ball in the 8th. Still faced the minimum as I got Matsui to ground into a DP. It was fun, but the broadcast team wasn't as excited after the final out as they were after getting the first and second out in the 9th.
