I pay $150.00 for MLB, could only watch one game on tv because KCAL 9 LA, would not release the right to televise it on MLB.
I live Northen California but Love the Dodgers,SO IT WAS A KNOW HITTER IN MY BOOK.
PLEASE IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THE MLB & KACL 9. I missed a very good game!!!!

It's still a "no-hitter" for the purposes of a player or players who accomplish the feat.......others won't deny that they did it. No matter what major league baseball says.
It's a silly "defenition" thing...........and a silly article.
Nothing else to write about?

MLB administration keeps making puzzling rules and rule changes. This is high on the list.

Because baseball's an American sport - they need to keep changing the rules to keep people guessing... Why do grown men play baseball, anyway? Why do people go to watch the games? If they wanted to make it really interesting, they'd let someone who gets a hit run the bases with the bat and hit the infielders.

With Bud Selig making policy what do you expect?

I have a name for the "8" inning no-hitter. A LOSS. Get over it, I'm sure Weaver has.

Couldn't agree more. Think MLB honchos have over-thought this. Must be a "9-inning game". Well, this was. Rule doesn't say pitchers in question have to throw nine innings. Just says 9-inning game, which this was.

If you have to win to be credited for a no-hitter, does that go for a perfect game as well? Does Harvey Haddix's feat of a 12 inning perfect game (he lost in the 13th inning after giving up one hit) count for nothing in the record books any longer?

Would you call it a no hitter if he threw a no hitter in 5 innings and the game was called by rain? Of course not. I compare it to bowling. you cannot throw 9 strikes in a row and then not bowl in the 10th frame. Do you want to call that a perfect game. It was perfect up to 9 frames but you did not finish it. Same with Baseball. It is not fair to be compared with other players who threw 9 innings. I do not think it is a silly rule at all. Just to be funny. What would you say to a pitcher who walked the top 3 players every time they got up and pitched to everyone else? They would have a lot less hits but they probably would lose.
