Teletopez Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) I've talked about this a couple times before, and at least one of these trends usually occurs when a no-hitter or perfect game is broken. It's happened time and time again. 1) It's broken to lead off an inning. 2) It's broken with a home run. 3) The pitcher is shaky after the no hitter or perfect game is broken. Today, AJ Burnett's perfect game was broken by a walk, and two batters later, he had given up 3 runs (trend 3). The no hitter was broken by a 3-run HR from Ian Kinsler (trend 1). I've noticed these trends because of the number of potential no hitters and perfect games the Yanks have had going. Wang had two perfect games broken up by home runs, one against Seattle and one in Boston. Burnett had a bumpy outing after giving up his first hit, hit by the innings first batter, against Tampa Bay in April. Then at Citi Field, his no-hitter was broken by Cora to start the inning. Sabathia had a no-hitter going at Citi, and a Sheffield homer broke it to start the inning. If you look at Buerhle's no hitter, it would have been broken by a HR had the OF not made the leaping catch. There have been several other instances, but I can't remember exactly what happened. But if there's ever a no-no bid going, you can come back to this thread. Edited August 27, 2009 by Waldo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx. Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Well yeah these 3 things happen almost every game, if the pitcher is throwing a perfect game/no hitter or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that it seems every time there's a bid broken, at least one of those thing occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I've noticed this too haha, seems like everyone gives up a leadoff home run in the 6th inning or something with a no-no going. Lincecum has had 3 or 4 no hitters go into the 5th inning or beyond this year (I'm pretty sure), and I swear each time it's been a leadoff hit, if not a HR then the next batter hits one it seems like.

J-Rat Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 obviously, the pitchers are perfect up until that point, and then they give up a hit/walk and they're rattled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
