  For being a damn good team...The rays get no hit often haha
• Non

  seems like there are a lot of no hit bids like this where the game is still in doubt, too

  .....once I find out if he gets moved back a day or not in the rotation this will be a good vbookie thread topic...how many innings will Jackson last
• darbypitcher22

  

  I can't believe Hinch left him in there... I know you don't mess with a no hitter, but after like 120 pitches and so many walks I might have considered lifting him, eventhough the D'Backs bullpen gets bombed a bunch.
  
  I wonder if the Rays are the 1st team in MLB history to have a perfect game and a no-hitter thrown against them in the same year?

  I've said this for years, the pitch count is bullshit.
  
  Good for the coach for leaving him in to finish what he started. A no hitter is a no hitter, regardless of the number of walks.

  Jackson threw a ton of pitches last year in Detroit so this is of no surprise. The 8 walks are but you don't take a guy out with a no hitter, big no no and AJ Hinch did a great job of trusting his guy and leaving him out to get the No Hitter.

  Have him on two fantasy teams, haha.

  I agree, jughead. I'm a little surprised at Darby's response about considering taking him out. But, I understand. Throw the ball and git 'er done.

  Your opponents thank you for all the previous games he was on your team. Hes been pretty shit all season, but this was a great game.
• darbypitcher22

  

  I understand why you're suprised and I'm also a little skeptical about pitch counts, but somewhere in my mind as a manager i'm thinking about wanting the game and a W more than the no-hitter. Again, congrats to him for throwing one, he earned it, but especially when your season is going the way Arizona's is, you want a W.
  
  Had the same thing happen my sophmore year of HS, had a no-no going thru 5 innings and got lifted for a pitch count. Luckily the guy came in behind me and finished off the final 2 innings for a combined no-no

  Revenge for the guy the Rays gave up on. What a crazy year for these crazy pitching performances.

  That 150 pitches is old school.....love it. I miss the old days when guys threw until their arm fell off.
• Ironman92

  

  ....and then pitched 4 days later into the 8th or 9th innings....all year.....for nearly 2 decades
  
  God Bless you Steve Carlton and Don Sutton amongst others
