I flagged this market, because the Dodgers-Angels game does not qualify as a no-hitter. The reason is that the Dodgers did not have to bat in the ninth inning. A team must be no-hit for nine innings to be a no-hitter.

This was settled incorrectly. The Dodgers-Angels game was not a no-hitter.
"Because the Dodgers didn't have to bat in the ninth, the game doesn't qualify as a no-hitter."

Ironically, the same link that hopkirk used for settlement as "Yes"
What's going on here?
Can't read the wholr article?

I'm amazed that this settlement has stood. I've never received an explanation from my "Flag for review."
It looks like hubdub is getting a bit sloppy...once again, with settlements. For the record, I have no dog in this fight, just bothers me...the lazy settlement

i feel your pain erik. i can't get them to do anything about not getting my gains added to my net worth.

Dieseldog> I can't believe this. I have no $$ in this market. But, this was obviously settled too early. The game was not a no-hitter. It states just that in the very article that was cited as yes, it was a no-hitter.

The numbers don't lie. It's an old adage that should be qualified with 'but ' when dealing with baseball statistics. Home runs, ERA and stolen bases can certainly tell you some things about a player, but you've got to look a bit deeper than the standard
