Does It Count In 7 Innings?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Pitching mounds across Major League Baseball stirred up quite the storm recently that has everyone debating about one thing. The no-hitter. And specifically, when do MLB no-hitters count? The argument stems from <\/span>a recent game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Atlanta Braves<\/span><\/a> where Dbacks lefty, Madison Bumgarner, completed the entire 7-inning game without giving up a hit. The reason behind the shortened game was because it was part of a doubleheader that day. Per a new MLB rule from last season, both games played as part of a doubleheader are shortened to 7 innings each. Which, by MLB rules, means Bumgarner’s \u201cno-hitter\u201d doesn\u2019t receive its official title.<\/span><\/p>\n

But is that fair to the players? Some say yes, while others say no. We know we don\u2019t have a legitimate say in the rulebook, but that doesn\u2019t mean we won\u2019t be adding our two cents to a debate that\u2019s <\/span>receiving plenty of attention in the MLB world<\/span><\/a>. However, before we can get to that, when will Chicago baseball see their next no-hitter?<\/span><\/p>\n
