Rich Hill Lost 2 Perfect Games in the Worst Ways Possible 

Imagine taking a perfect game into the 10th inning and losing

Rich Hill’s story is incredible. I’ll always have a soft spot for him.

Rich Hill is a gamer. Not at all overpowering or nasty, but just knows how to pitch.

I’m a dodgers fan and loved Rich Hill. He was really underrated in the dodgers rotation and shoved in the playoffs. Just subbed

Don’t forget Dave Stieb, who lost no-hitter bids with two outs in the ninth in CONSECUTIVE starts in 1988, and then lost a perfect game bid as such the very next year.

As a rich hill fan, all I feel is pain

This was tragically hilarious. I was laughing but hurting at same time as the story got worse and worse 🤣😭

You can't help but feel bad for Dick Mountain here

If Hill has another "almost" game I feel like he's just gonna straight up retire

0:51 I was so ready for a sponsor lol

Holy shit finally somebody mentioned Rich Hill and his two Amazing starts that went south right after

Haha I love the little swagger and confidence this dude has on the hill

Was a huge fan of Hill when he came up for the Cubs a LONG time ago. Thought he had faded away until he popped up on the Dodgers. I still love him. Have always tried to emulate his throwing motion when I was on the mound.

It's great that, heading into 2023, Rich Hill is still in the major leagues. I hope his career lasts forever!

Underrated channel dude. Keep it up 👍

I really like your channel man. Your videos are really well edited and you know what you are talking about. You deserve way more subs and I glad i found your channel!

Hill is one of my favorite players. So sad to see him lose 2 perfect games like that

awesome video. Rich Hill is one of my favorite stories in baseball, remember being heartbroken for him when he gave up that home run to Harrison

This video seriously needs to have more attention, and so does this channel, I learned so much.

This was such a heartbreaker, I remember watching the game and being so angry at the offense.

I love your videos man your growing like crazy keep the great work up can’t wait for the next one. Keep on that grind bro

Keep up the great videos, you deserve more viewers, congrats!

Hey man! I love your videos so much, even to the point where it inspired me to create my own channel. Congrats on 10K (Its a actually 11K now lol) Keep up the great work!

Great video, i can see you put alot of effort into it! Keep it up dude!

THANK YOU!!! I’ve asked so many sports channels to break down the no hitter he lost on the first batter of the 10th inning by giving up a walkoff solo HR as the only hit of the game.

Watched the unofficial perfect games video yesterday and thought of him. Great videos homie

I remember watching these games too. As a dodger fan, I can’t tell you how happy I was to get rid of Forsythe. Straight trash.

How does this channel only have 11,000 subscribers? Keep it up dude, you make great stuff

Rich Hill is the best Curveball pitcher in my opinion. He's no natural southpaw but still pounds the zone with that 12-6 like Sandy

I'm a dodgers fan and this broke my heart watching it live. I wish he would have won the world series with the team last year. He really deserves it

Great video! He's such an interesting guy.

Great work

Underrated channellll

Rich Hill was my favorite Dodgers pitcher when he was on the team. His leg kick made it look like he stepped on something he shouldn't have. And he had a bunch of tricks up his sleeve to fool the batters.

Great vid!

I still remember that game against the Pirates and it still gets me to this day. The Dodgers won so many games that year and hit HR’s galore and yet they still found so many ways to score 0 runs in close games where their pitcher gave everything and lost.

Good video 👍🏿

Love the content :)

hahahahaha. I'm a pirates fan and I was watching this. Got hyped after Josh Harrison homerun!!!

Watched both of those games live. I might be in the minority, but I think DR was right to pull him against the Marlins considering Hill's history with blisters. The game against the Pirates was just heart breaking. Can't get the man 1 stinking run!?!? Dick Mountain, you deserved better.

Rich Hill is a Class Act - met home in Dorchester at The Yawkey League season banquet. He's an Alumnus of our amateur league

This video was fantastic and I don’t even like baseball! You’re a great storyteller.

Glad to know Rich Hill was player of the month (May 2021). He deserved it!

i remember that 1st game with the Dodgers. the way mlb analysts talked about him, i thought he was a more established pitcher. turns out he was a mediocre veteran that just recently made an upswing. as a cardinals fan I'm envious of dodger fans. they've had a good squad for quite a few years now. they've had some monster players come up thru their system and go out and trade for solid players before the trade deadline ends. they remind me of a top tier American league team.

I’m a Pirates fan, but I remember rooting for Rich Hill during the last few innings of that game. When I realized it was going into extras, I turned to my cousin and said that Harvey Haddix was about to have company. And so, as you tell, first he lost the perfect game on an error, then the no-hitter, shutout and game all at once.

as a rays fan, I was very happy to have him on our side for a bit of 2021

MLB is such a quirky and fun game to watch. I used to love watching it.

"are you ready to get heartbroken?" Wait, we had a choice?

i saw an espn fantasy analysis of rich hill and it summed him up perfectly. it said that in 2019, he did his usual thing and pitched extremely well between IL stints

Awesome video man! Thanks for throwing mine in there too, it means a lot!

You need more subs you deserve it

i gotta love rich hill. playing old games and making him good lol

Off the field he’s such a nice and genuine guy too. I remember being pretty pissed when I got the notification that the dodgers traded him.

Gotta love Hill if for nothing other than that leg waggle....

I was landing from vacation in Mexico and got the notifications from that game in Pittsburgh. I didn’t know if I wanted to laugh or cry 😂😂😂

I can watch Rich Hill pitch all day. Best curveball in the MLB.

As a Dodger fan, I can remember that every time I saw Rich Hill being interviewed, he always seemed to have a profound sadness about him.

So true every perfect game in history has at least 1 or 2 amazing defensive plays., and a 4 run lead is just enough to pitch with confidence and attack,

He's a modern day Dave Stieb!

If you take a perfect game into the ninth inning you're always going to face the bottom of the order.

Haddix's no-hitter was lost on a home run - but Joe Adcock passed Hank Aaron on the bases when the future HR king failed to run the entire way around the basepaths, thinking the game was over when Felix Mantilla (who broke up the perfect game with a grounder that was misplayed by Hoak) scored. Aaron went back out and ran the bases after the Braves realized Adcock was out due to passing a runner, but NL president Warren Giles ruled that Aaron was also out for running outside of the basepaths. The Pirates lost the game, not on a home run, but a double - and double play.

My wife and I, both Dodger fans, travelled to Pittsburgh for that game. My wife got hit in the chest by a line drive during BP and we had to go to the ER to get treatment. Luckily she was fine but we were watching the game at hospital with some crazy conflicted feelings as Rich Hill threw 9 scoreless. Then after we left the ER, we got Primanti Bros. It was a weird night.

truly heartbreaking

Daaaaamn...

UNBELIEVABLE 😥 Poor Hilly 🥎💩

one of the worst heart breaking baseball games i ever saw. he still got congratulated by the catcher and the rest of the dodgers like it was a perfect game/nohitter. crazy man

I remember watching Rich Hill throwing that no hitter in Pittsburgh it was one the strangest games I ever seen

"are you ready to get heartbroken?" >Puts on Giant's hat no

In 1972, Cubs pitcher Milt Pappas was 1 strike away from a perfect game. He then threw 3 straight borderline pitches to the last batter that were all called balls.

Ill never forget that 2017 game at Pittsburgh

I was there at PNC Park when he lost it on the error, as a Pirates fan I was not annoyed was so disappointed, wanted to see history.

In the late 80s-early 90s I believe this happened to Dave Steib, who blew 2 no-hitters with 2 outs in the 9th, I think on back to back starts. One of them was a perfect game. Steib eventually got his no-hitter some time later. As for Ozzie pulling him early against the Marlins, I think there really should be an unofficial YOLO rule for managers if a pitcher is throwing a perfect game or no-hitter, let him keep going. Unless its very unusual circumstances. Joe Torre once pulled Cone from a no-hitter after 7-innings because it was his first game back after recovering from a life-threatening aneurysm. That checks out. What Ozzie did with the blister does not. If Rich Hill by chance got hurt trying to pitch the last 2 innings, I'm sure the Dodgers would find a way to work around him, but odds are he probably wasn't going to. You can't worry that somebody who is otherwise healthy might get injured when immortality is on the line. I can't stand that.

I remember Granderson on the Dodgers, he just preformed so bad it felt like they gave the bat boy a chance to play...

Oof also congratulations on 10,000

I was at the pirates dodgers game, one of the best pitching duels ever.. no one ever talks about it.

As a dodgers fan, that Pirates game was easily the most frustrating regular season game of the past decade

2018 Dodgers had the most inconsistent yet explosive offense that year. Man did Hill pick the wrong time to attempt a no-hitter.

I was watching the gamecast for the LAD@PIT game and I was so sad for the dude

I was at the game where he played the pirates, craziest game of my life hands down.

I was on my lunch break (in Australia) when Hill was towards the end of the game vs the Pirates and it was so immensely frustrating. I'm losing my mind yelling JUST SCORE YOU FUCKERS HIT THE BALL!!! and then when he lost it it was like welp that sucks ass

If I wasn’t a giants fan I’d feel really bad

Sportstorm link to the other video you mention at the beginning?

Jesus, Rich Hill is the unluckiest pitcher I've ever seen.

Being a Dodger fan, I watched both games live. It wasn't the only time Roberts has removed pitchers carrying no-hitters, Ross Stripling's first start he was taken out in the 8th inning I think. And the Mexico game where the Dodgers pitched a no-hitter by committee, I forget who start, Urias maybe. After the second loss of a perfect game by Hill the dodgers went into an epic tailspin, losing like 15 of 17 if I remember correctly. Hill has also had some family issues, one of his kids died as an infant.

Harvy haddix, and also Antony Monroe III a 6'10 185 pound lefty. People always forget Antony. Probably because he is my RTTS character.

Dodgers offense was so good that year and of all games to not score they had to choose this one 🤦‍♂️

I remember both of these games way too vividly.

What makes the second one worse is that in the three other games in the series, the Dodgers scored 6, 8, and 5 runs respectively but they couldn't score a single run in Hill's start

i was at the game against the pirates (i’m a pirates fan) it was crazy, we were sitting in left field, the ball wasn’t very far away from us.

I remember watching this game and being furious with the offense. If I remember correctly, the Dodgers went on a losing streak after this game.

Psycho Rich, Dick Mountain! Love the guy, I already have a soft spot for the Twins, having grown up in Oregon when the Portland Beavers were their AAA affiliate. If the Dodgers don’t win it this year, I’d love to see Minnesota do it. Especially with Rich Hill and Kenta Maeda as 40% of their rotation.

max scherzer kinda had that happen too. his first no-hitter was broken up after a guy leaned into a pitch. last batter. his second no-hitter was broken up because of an error.

Jacque Jones homered off the White Sox in the 8th for the Twins’ only hit in a 2005 game they won 1-0. And b/c they were at home, it was an 8-inning CG for Freddy Garcia, the losing pitcher. So that’s one of those games

Us Dodger fans couldn't believe Curtis Granderson was a Dodger either lol 😂 but yeah I was watching the game live and was pissed our offense couldn't score! When it went into extra innings I changed the channel then changed it back after a few minutes and saw rich hill doing the walk of shame and I realized that he had just given up the walk off home run which made me even more pissed at our offense.

The 2nd perfect game I saw while in prison. My childhood obsession of Dodgers baseball was reborn. That was such a heartbreak but I'd still like to thank him for that. Not to mention he gave it his all in the 2017 world series for the dodgers against the Trashstros.

would love a video on Travis Wood losing a perfect game bid in the ninth where the Reds end up losing in extras. I was at that game and I could not decide if I would root for the perfect game or for my Phillies.

“Pirates fans were annoyed” I watched that game and was rooting for rich so hard

The pirates game still hurts a little. Rich Hill absolutely deserved it and he was so much fun to watch in a dodger uniform. And his story is incredible. If you want to hear more on his story you should listen to him on Striplings podcast, big swing. It's really worth the time!

6:10 “The catch isn’t wasn’t what I was surprised about. I was surprised that Granderson was on the Dodgers! Did you guys know that?”😂😂😂😂😂
