I think pitchers should have a better sense of where the strike zone is since they've been throwing at it all game long...

Not a no-hitter, but did anyone catch last nights game between the Brewers and the Pirates? Brief game report:

Yovani Gallardo was magnificent, striking out 11 batters and allowing two hits over eight. The game was scoreless until the seventh, though, when Gallardo took matters into his own hands with a home run to left to seal the sweep vs. the Bucs.

Brewers won 1-0 on a home run by the pitcher.
Ban the DH!
