Jim Schue Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Rich Hill joins Harvey Haddix in the group of hard-luck losers. Hill was perfect through 8, but lost his PG bid with no outs in the 9th on an error, then retired the next 3 batters to keep the no-no intact. Josh Harrison came up first in the 10th, and hit a walk-off HR on Hill's 99th pitch of the game. The Dodgers collected 8 hits and 4 BBs and couldn't get their guy any run support. While not as dominant as Haddix's 12 innings of perfect baseball, he was pretty darned dominant. If I'm Hill, I wait until reporters are gone and lay into the Dodger hitters for screwing this up for him. The irony, of course, is Haddix achieved his feat as a Pirate, and the Pirates got Hill. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpapa Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Same thing I thought when I heard about the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Friction Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Harvey Haddix' feat was amazing but I'm a "Old Hoss" Radbourn guy. 59 wins, 441 K's , 678 2/3 innings and a 1.38 E.R.A. in 1884. Top that Rich Hill. Btw, my man, "Old Hoss" ended his career as a member of our Cincinnati Reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack The Knife Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 In 1965 Jim Maloney twice went into extra innings with a no-no. On June 14 Maloney struck out 18, walked 1, but gave up a home run in the 11th and lost 1-0 to the Mets. On August 19 he beat the Cubs 1-0 in 10 innings at Wrigley Field on a Leo Cardenas HR. Maloney's pitching line: 12 K 10BB, 1HBP 187 pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
