Uke asks Jim who the player of the game is

Jim responds, “Usually when a guy throws a no-hitter, they’re the star of the game”.

MLB.com has an example

Mota lowers ERA during off-day
June 28th, 2008
Thor Nystrom / MLB.com

Guillermo Mota lowered his ERA by more than half a run on Thursday. What made the development especially interesting was that Milwaukee was enjoying an off-day.

i somehow think that a scoring change that "gives" a no-hitter to someone

…is much different than one that shaves a few points off the ERA.

I just don’t think that MLB will create a no hitter or perfect game (not that I know how they’d ever change anything to a perfect game…but still) after-the-fact.

This is the next-best thing. For certain qualities of “best.”

(Eckstein, I’ve never liked, but I like him even less now that he gave Aaron Hill a season-ending concussion. Hill is a far better player, and although I like Joe Inglett and John McDonald a lot them playing is not worth the life-changing injury to Hill.)

now that I think about it...

as my PBR ERA rules would state that if a runner had scored off of that, it would have been earned, I don’t know if an error by the pitcher should count as a way of preventing a hit for a no-hitter either.

So…in other words, not quite a no-no in my mind.

Brewers appeal scoring decision

The Brewers sent a DVD and a written explanation to Major League Baseball following the conclusion of Sunday’s game between the Brewers and Pirates, Brewers media relations manager John Steinmiller said.
“I saw it, called it immediately [and] believed it was a hit,” the game’s official scorer, Bob Webb, said. “I think that’s a hit in every circumstance. It was a difficult play. Even if he comes up with the ball cleanly, in my estimation, he’s got more than ordinary difficulty in getting the runner at first base.”
Under MLB rules, the official scorer is the only person that may change a judgment call within 24 hours of a game’s conclusion. The league, after considering the evidence submitted by the Brewers, may request that the official scorer change a judgment call, but cannot force the scorer to change his ruling.
Only if the call is deemed “erroneous” may the league order a change in a judgment call.

I think CC might have became the frontrunner for the NL Cy Young Award today

Webb got lit up, 8 earned runs in 3 1/3. If his ERA isn’t so sparkly, coupled with CC potentially getting credited with a no-hitter, voters are going to really look hard at it.

Not that I really care, the voters are all full of crap, but it would be pretty sweet.

some Milwaukee comments from Metsblog

“actually when i used to work for a band we played milwaulkee – nice place the city is only 2 square blocks wide the cabbie showed us where dahmer lived and the strippers had to wear pasties- ugh except for the beer and bratwurst and the sheboygan chicks i didnt like milwaulkee lol”

Two square blocks wide?

“I never particularly liked the Brewers. The thing that annoys me is that slide when someone hits a home run. For a long time, people always were ripping there pitchers. But it’s something there fans like. Just like the apple thing at Shea. I remember that Geoff Jenkins walk off pissed me off last year. The Brewers can be beaten. I’ll say what I said before the Marlins series: get 2 of 3 and you’re happy. Regardless of annoyances, agony or obstacles. Milwaukee’s a good team… The main thing is to go out there tomorrow with the ace out there and win. Than from there, a split’s fine.”

okay

by ol Pete on Aug 31, 2008 10:11 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Despite the Brewers’ protests, the play in question is routinely called a hit and fielders often get angry when they are called for errors on easier plays. The Associated Press polled eight writers who have reported on the majors for 10 years or more, and six would have called it a hit.

Also, Sabathia pitched with almost no pressure with a multiple-run lead in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, which wouldn’t have been the case if he had a no-hitter going and every late-innings pitch would have been critical.

Umm…okay. link

scouting report on Mets pitcher for Teusday

from the NYT

by ol Pete on Aug 31, 2008 10:36 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

David Pinto asked another Major League scorer for his opinion and got some puffed-up rhetoric:

The people hired by MLB as official scorers make tough calls every day. They are not supposed to look at the scoreboard or the uniforms of the player before deciding what the correct call is on a particular play. Team employees (both uniformed and non-uniformed) want every call to go their way, but the scorer is an impartial judge and decides according to the rule book and experience. Part of Rule 10.01(a) says: “The official scorer shall have sole authority to make all decisions concerning application of Rule 10 that involve judgement, such as whether a batter’s advance to first base is the result of a hit or error.”
