So now we have this kerfuffle over whether or not Madison Bumgarner, who pitched a no-hitter the other night, actually pitched a no-hitter.
Major League Baseball says no, on account of it happened in a seven-inning doubleheader game.
Everyone who's not an obsessive-compulsive seamhead says yes, because seven innings in this case constituted a complete game.
And why did it constitute a complete game, you ask?
Because MLB decreed doubleheader games would now be seven innings in duration.
Ergo, Madison Bumgarner pitched an official no-hitter, because MLB in essence said so. And never mind what it's saying now.
See how easy logic is, people?
And that's even in baseball, which frequently avoids it.
Like, you know, now.
