What’s the latest you’ve blown a no-hitter/perfect game?

[Seancefc]

I’ve pitched a perfect game way back when John lackey pitched for the Red Sox…circa 2011/12. But haven’t come close since, until last night.

Had a no hitter with DeGrom on my save, which incidentally I’ve played every inning fully and I’m near the end of the year for the first time!

Anyway got into the 9th, facing the top of the cubs order. Out number one with just over 100 pitches, I’m on my way! Two strikes on the next hitter 1-2…catcher calls for a fast ball low and away which I aim for right on the corner of the strike zone…didn’t miss but somehow the hitter managed to get underneath it to bloop a hit just over the second baseman’s head :-(.

I was devastated!

It’s taken me years to get as close as that and I’m not sure I will again.

Anyone else come closer?

I've had a few no-hitters, and a couple of perfect games over the 1000's of games that I've played. To answer your question though, I can't remember who it was against, but it must have been in the 2010-13 range, because it was Brandon Morrow starting for my Jays, and I had a perfect game going for 8.2 IP, before giving up a walk, followed by a single, followed by a 3 run, game winning homer. Sometimes you just have to know when to call the pen. I probably should have been immediately fired after the game ended.

My most recent one came a few months ago, in game 1 of the Mariners season (using '20). Robbie Ray, 10 k's, no hits, no walks...I knew it was going to be a special night by the 4th innings, because he was just untouchable. It was somehow below 100 pitches as well, and that's with quick counts on.

Once had a perfect game going until hitter 27. Single to the first base side blew it.

Played RTTS for many years(started with 12 until no carryover) as a pitcher.
Would guess I had at least 3 perfect games ruined on the last out by errors that the game ruled hits.
It seemed like the last few years they did away with the issue by not letting you get that far.

[Caulfield]

offhand I can't correctly recall
but I'm almost positive the earliest I lost a perfect game/no-no was like the first inning

[HeadCoach2.0]

I once had a perfect game through 8 innings with Johan Santana when he was with the Mets.

I was playing the Marlins on the road. I still remember it until this day.

I struck out the side in the 8th and was ready to close it out in the ninth.

The first batter in the 9th got a hit. I have not gotten that close since then.

Pretty sure I have blown a few in the 9th.
The one and only no-hitter/perfect game I did throw though was the final game of the world series several years ago with Gio Gonzalez. That made up for the near misses.

I lost a no hitter on the final out of the game because Yuli couldn't field a dribbler right up the line to first base. Verlander was pitching.
