oh yeah, I care. DIdn't see this thread before now. It didn't happen but Matz for the Jays had no-hit stuff during a 7-inning game last week. I hated the idea he might actually do it, for no credit. MLB's website is actually saying things like 'Madison's no-no' and such so you can tell they're pushing the narrative that it's sort-of legit, but we know the record-keepers have decided no. I agree in the sense that I want 9-inning games in a doubleheader!!!! Jeez, is that too much to ask? Guys losing their no-no bids because someone decided a 7-inning game was a good idea? I'm steaming right now.

It's not Mad Bums fault the game is 7 innings, He showed up, and showed the f out. If the MLB is going to say double headers are going to be 7 innings, then they need to recognize no-nos and perfectos that happen in 7 inning games IMO.
-
Just another stupid Manfred decision. I swear this guy hates baseball. All these ridiculous changes....pitch clocks, runner on second to start extras, 7 inning double headers...why do people who clearly hate the game we all grew up with get put into positions to make these stupid decisions?
-
MLB made a definitive decision about 25 or 30 years ago that a no-hitter must be 9 innings. A couple of short-game no hitters were taken off the record books. With that as the definition of a no-hitter, then there should be no official 7 inning games like there are this year or the definition should be changed again.
-
I definitely understand the reasoning for it not counting. Verlander has had at least 5 no hitters broken up in the 8th or 9th. Why should 7 inning no hitters count? It isn't fair to the many pitchers that have lost no hitters in the 8th or 9th inning. I don't think 7 inning complete games should count either though personally
-
Yeah I agree the 9 inning definition should stand. The toughest part of the accomplishment is those last 2 innings where the pitcher is exhausted (physically and mentally) and the batters have all seem him at least twice and perhaps three times. I just don't agree with league mandated 7 inning games for double headers. Day-night double headers and use your bench.
-
I don't want any 7-inning games at all. Horrible idea, especially when they knew any records like this wouldn't count. Not to mention, has anyone ever seen a game turn around in the 8th or 9th inning? Jeez.
-
The rule that really changed the game was the buster posey rule. Johnny Bench would of made it to the HOF just on his ability to block the plate.
