Losing Sux

Talk about a downer. Game 7 of the NLCS - Edmond Nickerson throws 8.2 innings of no hit ball. Then just like that, the no-no, the game, and the series were gone. Facing a 1-2 count, Jordan Sharpe got all of a cutter and drove it over the fence for a Series winning walk off homer.

That would be a tough loss.

Without a doubt, that is the roughest ending I’ve ever heard. My heart goes out to you.

Ouch.

Don't know what else to say.

Tough, but not unrealistic. At 105 pitches, particularly by today's standards, your guy might lose a bit on the fastball or spin on the breaking pitch, and of course a slugger takes advantage. But I'd wager none of us would have pulled the guy in the ninth inning of a no-hitter.
