Chris Young has a no hitter through 6. He's thrown 66 pitches. So what does HAL do? Whhat any manager would do--he takes him out.
What part of the new improved technology is that? :x

Thanks for the response bernie. I guess I see your point, but we'll have to agree to disagree that pulling a guy out with a no-no through 6 is the best way to go.
I gotta believe that Young went kicking and screaming :roll: [/url]

Courtesy of Wikepedia:
There have been nine combined no-hitters, that is, when multiple pitchers collectively throw a no-hitter during a game. The first was on June 23, 1917, with Babe Ruth as the starting pitcher. After walking the first batter of the game, Ruth was ejected for arguing with an umpire. Ernie Shore relieved Ruth; the runner at first was caught attempting to steal second base, and Shore then consecutively retired the next 26 batters without allowing any baserunners. For a long time Major League Baseball actually recognized Shore's feat as a perfect game as he technically achieved 27 consecutive outs with no batter reaching base (the runner caught stealing is counted as being an "out"), but stricter perfect game definitions established after 1990 (see more below) retracted this. The Major League record for pitchers combining to pitch a no-hitter is six, set by the Houston Astros against the New York Yankees on June 11, 2003. The pitchers were Roy Oswalt (the starting pitcher), then relievers Pete Munro, Kirk Saarloos, Brad Lidge, Octavio Dotel, and Billy Wagner. The Yankees had been the team who had gone the longest without a no-hitter thrown against them; they were last "no-hit" in 1958 by Hoyt Wilhelm, a career relief pitcher making a rare start.
Of course, this doesn't count the times a starting pitcher with a no-hitter was removed and subsequent pitchers blew the no-hitter.
If I was the manager and I saw Young hitting the backstop and the batboy with wild pitches I might take him out, too. :P
