The Milwaukee Brewers' manager and players are outraged and are demanding that the official scorer change a hit to an error to give CC Sabathia a retroactive no-hitter.

It would be the first retroactive no-no in history. I think it would be very dumb and that they should not even be asking for it to be changed.

Why?

1. CC would have been pitching under more pressure in the eighth and ninth innings if it were ruled an error AT THE TIME. It wouldbe incredibly fair to allow him to pitch under no pressure those last couple innigns with the big lead and the no-no gone and then retroactively give him a no-hitter without him having to pitch through the pressure of hangin onto it. It would be unfair to those who have accomplished it in the past.

2. Almost always if an infielder of any type tries to barehand a ball and drops it, it is ruled a hit.

3. What a crappy way to be given credit for one. There was no celebration for it. People insisted to me that if Memphis were given a retroactive national championship due to Kansas' ineligible player thay used, it "wouldn't mean anything" since Kansas actually won. Well this is the same thing. It was a judgment call and I hope the official scorer is smart enough to stick by his decision. He said that the runner was 2/3 of the way down the line and would have been safe even if the ball was not dropped.

It's funny how all of tehse infielders always whine that they shoudln't be charged with errors on bad hops, but then when it would be better for them personally if it IS called an error then they want it ruled as one!

MLB wisely rules this was not a no-no.

Also a cubs announcer said the same thing I said, that it wouldn't be fair since he would ahve pitched with more pressure had it been called an error.
