In response to "So a perfect game is one where no-on makes it to base on a hit? Or the bat never meets the ball? What does "perfect" mean? -- nm" by TWuG

So a hit that results in an out still allows it to be "perfect" but would that allow it to be a "no hitter"? -- nm - TWuG Jul 23, 13:48 10
- hits are only hits if you reach base safely (not forced out or tagged out) -- nm - zork Jul 23, 13:49
- No. Hits are guys who get hits and reach base via the contact. - Will Hunting Jul 23, 13:49
- that's not a "hit", its a "ball in play", but yes. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 13:49 1

- A "no-hitter" means no hits. A perfect game means no nothin'. - nubby (Buehrle!!!) Jul 23, 13:49 5
  - Ah. I see that I am stumbling on a definition. A "hit" to me is the ball and bat connecting regardless of whether it's eventually caught. - TWuG Jul 23, 13:51 4
    - Yes. Contact that results in an out is not a hit. -- nm - nubby (Buehrle!!!) Jul 23, 13:52 2
      - (Actually, that's not strictly true, but we'll go with it.) -- nm - nubby (Buehrle!!!) Jul 23, 13:52 1
        
        I'm not sure if there's a baseball rule where there isn't a "except in this odd situation" you could tack on to it. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 13:53
    - Yes, hits = base runners. contact = ball and bat making cracky sounds. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 23, 13:51
