Going back to scorekeeping anolomies, here's some possibilities:

A pitcher could come in, not throw a single pitch, and get credit for a full inning of work. (Relief pitcher comes in with the bases loaded and no one out, and proceeds to pick off all the runners.)

Conversely, a pitcher could throw 100 pitches and not get credit for any part of an inning, by simply never recording an out.

And this one was pointed out to me tonight - a pitcher could have a no-hitter with 2 outs in the ninth, and a runner on first after a walk. The next batter hits a ground ball that hits the runner in between first and second; the runner is out, the game is over, but the no-hitter is gone because the batter is credited with a hit. I wonder if that's ever happend?
