    Yost was right, how in heavens name could that be scored hit?

    That scorekeeper couldn't have been watching or he had an agenda.

    PS, that scorekeeper should not keep official scores again.

    I got problems all over the place with this one..

    1. That's an error.

    2. One could make the case that the pitcher dumped the play to preserve the no-hitter for himself... Like they said, its a play he makes all the time. With his back to the runner, he still could have gone back after the ball..but he quit on the play.

    3. The Brewers crying about something like this.

    4. I hope someone gets hit.

    :D

    I'd score it an error. I know its hard to determine on that replay but the runner's stride does not look like he is going all out. That tells me that he thought he was a goner too.
