A great pitching performance


Normally when you see that some pitcher one-hit another team, you think that pitcher had a really good game, but not enough to be recognized. Yesterday was different. Brandon Morrow was lights out the whole game. The one hit that he gave up would have been the last out and it barely made it past the second basemen. He threw 17 strikeouts. (if he had gotten a no-hitter it would have been 16)If you think that this game wasn't one of the top or the top pitching performance of the year, you are crazy. Yes, there have been many no-hitters and perfect games. But, sometimes a no-hitter isn't lights out pitching. Like in the case of edwin jackson. It just happened that a pitcher had a great performance and it got ruined. If he had gotten a no-hitter it would be my number one pitching performance of the year. Instead, its my number 3. But, to me number 3 is always the best deep inside. Then, you hear some people saying that aaron hill might have made an error and not have that been a hit. I think I have figured out why people are saying this. They thought this was a great performance and they think it deserves a no-hitter, so they blame it on aaron hill not quite getting there and say it should be an error. I don't think it was an error, but it would have been cool to see. I guess he was just unlucky that hill didn't get there on time and that they got a certain official scorekeeper that wasn't going to make that an error just to preserve the no-hitter.
