Did C.C deserve a no-hitter?

Question

I think he did it was clearly an error when he couldn't get that ball of the ground.

Answer 1

He deserved it in the sense that he pitched so well.  he doesnt deserve it in the sense that it was a hit.  That is a call that has been made consistantly all year.  If its a ground ball, unless you overthrow it, or bobble it like crazy, its a hit.  He simply missed the ball, thats a hit, i hate to say it since he really should have had it.

Answer 2

Yes, bad call.

Answer 3

yes but whats the point? There isn't any excitement in an appeal. Its not like he is going to feel like he threw a no-hitter three days after he threw a one hitter. The moment is gone.

Answer 4

Yeah I think he DOES NOT deserves it. It was the right call. I really don't care since I don't care about the Brewers so it wasn't such a big deal. I don't think he even had a chance at the runner so yeah, it should have been a hit like it was scored. He was rushed by the runner who was hustling so he missed the ball trying to pick it up too fast. Definitely a hit in my book. No NO NO for C.C. today

Answer 5

He definately deserved it, that was a play he makes 9 out of 10 times.

Answer 6

Yes! Although CC himself did not gripe or try to make excuses, his only comment was "It is what it is". This is a class statement from a class pitcher. Although the play in question--ruled by the official scorer as a hit--was a playable ball and had CC come up with it cleanly, he would have had the batter (Andy LaRoche). Therefore, due to his hesitation I really believe that it should have been ruled an error. Even LaRoche himself said he thought it was an error and was embarrassed when it was ruled a hit. In a game like this one, a hit should only be given when there is no doubt that it was a hit. This one is very shaky at best and CC deserved to get his no-hitter!

Answer 7

That was for sure a no-hitter. Horrible call by the scorer.
