No Hitter

[jpup]

I threw a no hitter yesterday afternoon with AJ Burnett against the White Sox. I allowed only 2 base runners. The first was a walk to Juan Pierre, but I forced the next hitter to ground into a double play. The only other baserunner was Andruw Jones who reached on an error by Mark Texeira.

This was my first no hitter on the PS3. The last one I threw was with Eric Milton in MLB 2006. I did throw a 2 hit shutout with Andy Pettitte, the other day, which was actually a more dominating performance than this one. To be honest, the no hitter did feel a little scripted. The error by Texeira should have been a hit IMO and there was a ball that was scorched up the middle, but hit Burnett in the leg and went into his glove so I was able to throw the runner out at first. ARod also made every play over at third base. He saved 3 or 4 that would normally be hits. Maybe I am just getting better earlier this year, but something was funny about it. With that said I did feel a sense of accomplishment although there was no gamer trophy awarded for this.

Congrats, I have yet to accomplish this. Best I had was a no-no threw the 7th and it never fails someone always gets a hit. I play on legend hitting on HOF pithcing so I guess it's more of a brute trying to achieve a no-hitter on this level.

That's gotta be a good feeling to get a no-no. In all my years of gaming I have yet to have one of my own. Have taken a few into the 7th inning a couple of times only to buckle under the pressure and serve up a lemon. Peace!!!

My brother once threw a perfect game with gavin floyd on the PS2 mlb 07 i think. it was a great feeling even just watching it happen

Nice job Jpup. I was thinking I was going to make a post like this last night. Took a no-no into the 7th with Gil Meche vs Detroit. Unfortunately that ever elusive no hitter escaped from my hands. Some day I'll get one.

Took one into the ninth in RTTS once and we lost the game because the other pitcher was almost as good. I gave up a leadoff double and was taken out, the reliever let it score, and that tied it at 1-1. We lost in extra innings.

Good on the CPU pitchers for not giving up, I guess.

WTG, normally those infield grounders go through, just under the glove. closest I got was with Zach Duke against the Nats, Marquis squbbed one up the middle in the fifth, then, not a sniff the rest of the game, one hitter to the pitcher. Grrrrrrrrr.

So hats of to you, young man.

I took a no-hitter into the 7th with Grienke in MLB '09. That's the closest I've ever been. And this was on Rookie.
