Almost a perfect game! He just hit one batter in the 9th. Nice game vs. Pirates.

Can anyone explain why before 2010 the adv. no hitters per year was 2. From 2010 to 2014 with combined pitchers the adv. jumped up to 5. I would think that with larger ballparks and the dead ball era in past days it would be the other way.

Probably multiple reasons why.

1 - no more amphetimines allowed, so players are playing tired and not as alert?
2 - hitters just aren't as good? look at the averages of some of the lineups and you wonder why there aren't MORE no-no's every year.
3 - more good players taking days off?
4 - better scouting allows for the defense to be positioned better for each hitter?
