Reply to comment by slapshots1515 in Javier, Astros pitch 2nd no-hitter in World Series history by diadectes

A combined no hitter and a no hitter aren’t the same. There is obviously an enormous difference. So why does the headline call it a no hitter when it’s not?

> In baseball, a '''no-hitter''' is a game in which a team was not able to record a hit. Major League Baseball (MLB) officially defines a no-hitter as a completed game in which a team that batted in at least nine innings recorded no hits. A pitcher who prevents the opposing team from achieving a hit is said to have "thrown a no-hitter". In most cases, no-hitters are recorded by a single pitcher who throws a complete game; one thrown by two or more pitchers is a combined no-hitter.

K, but, you wrong tho

Right. A no hitter and a combined no hitter are different things. Are they not? This is a combined no hitter. Not a no hitter.

No they aren’t, if you can read the definition.

Lol it makes a very clear distinction between the two and describes a no hitter thrown by one pitcher. Then it goes on to describe what a combined no hitter is. They are two different things you fucking moron.

There’s nothing wrong with simply being uninformed, but doubling down on ignorance when the information is presented to you is the height of stupidity.
