Sure, he gave up 7 walks and an error along the way, but it's still a No-Hitter!

Impressive, but the 7 walks sure is strange. How can you be that effective yet walk 7 people? Geesh.

Beast game from Jackson. This kid is one of the most underrated players in the game in my opinion, and has been for quite some time. He's got a lot of good tools, but I guess the major problem against him is the fact that he usually doesn't give all his effort at times, so he takes some flack from that, but the kid has game. Definitely good to see him pitch this no-hitter.

149 pitches says he wasn't even really that effective.

On the other hand, impressive he could pitch 149 pitches though, lol.

Oh, it's 5. I don't care if Galarraga got Joyce'd, it still counts in my book.

Yeah, I'm gonna hafta agree you gotta count that. It was clearly a no hitter.

8 walks is equivalent to 8 singles. I don't really see the accomplishment in this. However, being a former Tiger, I'm happy for Jackson.

I disagree. While a single is the offense beating the pitcher, walks are the pitcher beating himself.
