When Oakland Athletics left-hander Sean Manaea completed a no-hitter against
the Boston Red Sox on Saturday night, you might have thought, "About time!"
This has been the April of the no-hit bid, as Buster Olney relayed this
weekend:There have been 12 no-hit bids through at least 6 IP this season (including
Manaea's no-hitter tonight). There were 5 such bids all of April last season.
There were 24 no-hit bids of at least 6 IP ALL OF LAST SEASON.
The night before Manaea's gem, Tyson Ross took a bid into the eighth. The day
after, Johnny Cueto took one into the sixth. It all makes sense: Strikeouts
are up, hits are down, and when there are no hits there tend to be
no-hitters. Manaea's was the 31st complete-game no-hitter thrown this decade,
which already is more than any decade since the 1960s.
當運動家隊的左投手-Sean Manaea 在星期六的晚間完成了對紅襪隊的無安打比賽，你可能會想說:終於啊!
這是四月份的超過六局的無安打比賽，就像Buster Olney這周末放在推特上的推文:這個球季已經有12場超過六局無安打(包括今天這場)
去年的四月只有五場超過六局無安打比賽，而去年整季有24場超過六局無安打。
而在難能可貴的Manaea之前，有Tyson Ross的八局無安打，還有之後的Johnny Cueto的六局無安打
這都是有來由的:三振率上升，安打數下降，因為安打數下降所以有無安打比賽的趨勢。
Manaea的無安打比賽是聯盟近十年來的第31次，僅次於1960年代的次數。
So, yes, this is a weird time for me to tell you complete-game no-hitters
might be on the cusp of getting really rare. Manaea's certainly isn't the
last we'll ever see, probably even this year, maybe even this month. But as
with 300-win careers, 20-win seasons, 200-inning starters and complete games
generally, the future is not friendly to no-hitters.
當然，這對我來說是見詭異的是去告訴你完全比賽和無安打比賽會漸漸地稀少，Manaea不會是我們看見的最後一場無安打比賽
可能今年或許這個月都不會是最後一場。但是生涯300場勝投，單季20勝，單季可以吃200局以上的先發投手
和完全比賽一樣，對無安打比賽並不是太有利。
