WTF??? Sudden Sam Tosses a No-No AND LOSES

https://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/game/451919/6

Haven't seen this before. Opening night of the season. Sam McDowell tosses a complete game no hitter and LOSES.

Tony Oliva has a lot of explaining to do.

Rarer still, your team even scored a run!

I like the writeup: "Mc Dowell loses despite not allowing an earned run".

Is no earned runs really the story here?

Brett and Oliva... BIG GOATS...

Thought you guys might enjoy this from the 200x side:


“Ohtani throws a no hitter and loses to a seven pitcher no hitter.

HBP-BB-BB-wild pitch for the games only run.

The outlier to end all outliers.”

(Unfortunately, the full box score has been scrubbed by now. Apologies.)

Coming over to the dark side, eh J-Pav?

Yes, I’ve been moving away from 200x, unsure of what next season will play like. I have my first team in the ATG 9 playoffs, so I’m slowly catching on!

May the dice be with you...

By the way, how come the Force is never "with" the bad guys? They can use it...but I guess it's not happy about it.
