Friday marked Hickox's second career no-hitter (first: July 26, 2010; Matt Garza), joining the likes of Tschida, Eric Cooper, Jeff Kellogg, Brian Runge and Ted Barrett as the only active umpires to have called multiple no-hitters. Barrett, Cooper and Runge have called three no-hitters each while Barrett is the only umpire in MLB history to have called two perfect games in his career (Cooper and Runge have called one perfecto apiece). Runge and Tom Hallion are the only active umpires to have officiated a combined no-hitter.
With 60 callable pitches, including 40 balls and 20 called strikes, here is how Hickox called Bailey's no-hitter:
Balls: 39 called balls outside of strike zone / 1 called ball within strike zone = 39/40 = 97.5% Accuracy
Strikes: 15 called strikes inside strike zone / 5 called strikes outside strike zone = 15/20 = <90.0% Accuracy
Total Raw Accuracy = 54/60 = 90.0% Accuracy (+4 in favor of CIN/Bailey).

nice job ed
good job by eddie and a shoutout to homer bailey
So, cut to the chase, who has the playoffs.
Hell of a job, Ed.
Just a quick baseball question. I was looking at the box score of the Rays White Sox game today, and Archer got credit with the save, yet Gomes pitched the 9th. Dont you have to finish to get the save?
A veteran umpire told me when I was starting out as a 14 year old umpire, that if you miss a pitch an innning, you can consider that a good ball game. Ed missed 6 in nine innnings. OUTSTANDING.
I just looked at that box score. You're right that the pitcher earning the save has to finish the game. Not only that, but the pitcher has to be the last of the game while pitching 3 or more innings (Archer pitched 2) when the team ahead is winning by more than 4 runs. If you notice at the bottom of the box score, they credit the win and loss, but they don't credit a save. Looks like somebody made a boo-boo.
i guess they did. If you look at the box score on espn, they say archer got the save and then have a (0) next to it. I thought that looked kinda funny
