That's got to SUUUUUUUUCK.

 

[Sanjuro]

Ban Pirates.

 

[Chase17]

Hill putting up a Fister level pitching performance?

 

[Choomp]

Wow lol that sucks

 

[big ander]

rich hill 💀

 

[rekameohs]

D'oh.

No hitter loss still woulda been funnier!

 

[Futureman]

Wow what a game to go to. BUCCOS!

 

[sf2fanatic]

Get some cameras in the lockerroom. More Dodgers gonna be in the DL

 

[zulux21]

personally I think if I was the coach after the error I would have just told rich to balk and then let one "slip" to let the run in so he could have gotten the no no at least.

I mean the dodgers don't really need to win again to reach the playoffs.

 

[Beckx]

Wow what a game to go to. BUCCOS!

Nice nice nice

 

[StoveOven]

That's one way to lose it.

 

[Beckx]

Wow

@cespedesbbq A Maddux: Complete game in fewer than 100 pitches

A Haddix: Losing a game after throwing 9 no-hit innings

Rich Hill has a chance at both

And it actually happened

 

[NervousXtian]

That's gotta hurt.

Should have pulled him. Horrible way to lose a no-no.. what were they gonna pitch him in the 11th too?

 

[JohnTinker]

Rich Hill is one of those journeyman guys who after all they've been through, you want to root for. Gutted for the guy

 

[sf2fanatic]

Both starting pitchers deserve the W. Pirates P went 8 innings

It wouldn't have counted as a no hitter if he lost in the bottom of the ninth because MLB put in a stupid rule that you need to throw nine complete innings to get credit for a no-hitter.

#Pirates Josh Harrison is the first player in history to break up a no-hitter with a walk-off home run.


I'm laughing so hard.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Sox teeing off on the Indians relief staff

Hi Astros

 

[RampagingSoul]

Man, that sucks for Hill... I personally would have gone to the bullpen, even if Hill still had it going. I understand why he was still out there, but he shouldn't have been. I knew something would happen the moment he came out for the 10th.

As if it wasn't already apparent to anybody who isn't an idiot, Hill's game is exactly why pitcher W/L record is stupid and pointless.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Yo Mark4Lyfe, Cleve dollar dog night Sept. 30. You going?

 

[Chris R]

Mariners gonna find some way to blow this lol

You say this because this time around the loss is on the offense?

Ew, vs the White Sox

I am going tomorrow though for Red Sox/Indians, if you guys see a white guy with glasses wearing a red sox shirt above the red sox dugout thats probably me🤔

That's actually surprising!

Shawn Kelley continues to be garbage.

 

[zulux21]

screw you twins left fielder.
aim better.

stupid white sox win :/

 

[nnex]

tfw you get out of work, look at your phone and see that you missed an instant classic...

I'm thrilled with the result though. Raise it!

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Daaaaaaammnn....Gg pirates!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

No because simplifying things to a win or loss doesn't actually encapsulate how a pitcher pitched.

 

[RampagingSoul]

Hos coming through against old friend Holland!

Needed this to keep pace.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Astros win! It's a Christmas miracle

Refused to do the post game interview. Mixed feelings but I get it.

Wife and I went nuts when he connected.

I mean thats why you user other stats and not W-L by itself, its kind of useless to look up a W-L record by itself to gauge on a pitcher performance, but the beauty of baseball is that as Rich Hill got an L in this gem, next outing he can very well get a W while allowing 8 runs.

I wouldn't be surprised if most people went crazy and nuts when it happened. I figured something had to give when Whit and Cain hit it hard and deep, but out against Holland. Seemed like he had trouble with command and left his slider up like the one to Hos that he hit out.

there is no context where W/L isn't worthless though. By itself or combined with other stats. It tells you nothing about how a pitcher performed.

Catch a foul ball or homerun. Jonny Gomes will mark out

 

[Little Green Yoda]

High win totals in a career, if only due to survivorship bias. Still not the best stat to judge a player but not worthless.

I hope Jim Johnson gets hit by a schoolbus filled with feces.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Goddamn, Granderson almost robbed that one.

 

[GK86]

Wheeler has been shut down for the rest of the season.

You're right, losing it in extras in the postseason would be much more entertaining!

Yeah, calling it wortless is a bit too much. overrated maybe, but not wothless.

You know it to be true with the Dodgers' rotation in October.

Oh-hohoho~
