I think as long as the batter still is recorded as a out .

DFA Happ. Had enough of him.

At first I was mad, but oh well. This is a young team that is fun to watch, and the Giants just had one of those special nights. Not much you can do when a pitcher is in the zone and his defense has his back.

They watched to many fastball strikes.

You don't get errors for plays that happen in foul territory

It happens a lot.


When a dude is throwing a no-hitter/perfecto, they usually cheer it on. It's an amazing feat. There have only been 22 Perfect games in the history of MLB.

Really? When would there be a play in foul territory that gets you an error?

[josephnicks]

the strike zone was very questionable. altuve got called out on a pitch that was at eye level.. while that might be a in the zone for others but not for altuve..

when you drop a routine pop up that is in foul territory that should be caught.

Outside of pass balls

Ah alright.

I was telling my buddies here in SF that any perfect game against the Astros should come with an asterisk.

here...they even include a perfect game note.

An error can be charged on a catchable ball hit in foul territory that is dropped, even though the batter does not reach base and the runners cannot advance: the mere fact of the at bat being unduly prolonged is enough to merit the error. Thus, a pitcher may pitch a perfect game in spite of his team being charged with an error, if the error occured under such circumstances.

Well the Astros Logo does resemble one

[TheAce]

Unbelievable game and I am a die hard Giants fan. Watch almost every game. That catch by Blanco was unnreal!

I was telling a friend before this season started who was the best righty he said Doc or Verlander. I disagreed and said Cain.

It wasn't a surprise that Cain got this tonight, he flirted with no-hitters throughout his career. I believe earlier this year he had a 1 hit shutout.

Matt Cain has to be arguably the best righty in the game now?

[OremLK]

Astros are 16th out of 30 in OBP, so yes Matt... it counts.

[OremLK]

And no, Cain is not anywhere close to being the best RHP in the game right now, perfect game notwithstanding. He has one season over 5 WAR and two seasons over 4 WAR. Mehhh.
