message: Shouldn't the extra innings strikeouts label how many innings the game went?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.132.62.198 (talk) 20:56, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Extra Innings

message: Quote: "The record for most strikeouts in a nine-inning game by a minor league pitcher was set by Ron Necciai, who struck out all 27 batters in a Class-D game between the Appalachian League Bristol Twins and the Welsh Miners (May 13, 1952).[7]"
"All 27 batters" is misleading.  Necciai got one out on a groundball.  He also had a four strikeout inning due to an error or passed ball to get to 27. WHPratt (talk) 13:32, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Re: Notes 

message: Does anyopne else feel that Randy Johnson should be removed from the list of "20" section and moved to the "Extra Innings" section? While Johnson did strike out 20 in nine innings pitched, it was not in a nine-inning game, as the title of the article suggests. The game went into extra innings.

replies: text: And just as a note, I know it says on the page (Pitched 9 innings of an 11-inning game). However, the title of this page is "List of pitchers who have struck out 18 or more batters in a nine-inning MLB game, and it technically was not a nine-inning game.HidyHoTim (talk) 03:32, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Should the table of "18 or more in extra-inning games" be expanded to include a mention of the number of innings played (or pitched)?  It seems an important bit of information. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 21:41, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  I haven't done much with that table other than add scope rows.  I'll get to it as soon as I can.  Cheers! —Bloom6132 (talk) 19:24, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  expand table? 

message: In the lede:
: Charlie Sweeney was the first player to strike out 18 batters in a single game, doing so for the Providence Grays against the Boston Beaneaters on June 7, 1884.
Then when I scroll down to the table, I see Charlie Sweeney listed as having pitched for the Providence Grays against the Boston Beaneaters in a game taking place on June 7, 1884. However, it lists him as getting 19 strikeouts. Is the table wrong, or is the sentence in the introductory paragraph wrong? Or is the sentence just confusing and/or misleading? It may be attempting to indicate that Charlie Sweeney was the first player to strike out at least 18 batters in a single game (thus linking it to the idea of only listing performances that meet this minimum metric), but its wording and structure seem to at least somewhat imply that he struck out precisely 18 batters in said game. While it is not technically incorrect in either case, I'm thinking this sentence needs to be re-worded to be slightly less ambiguous.
Also: There is a mysterious " " character in between "18" and "batters" in the aforementioned sentence, as opposed to a literal space, and I have no clue why.--Cogniac (talk) 02:24, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

message: I fail to see why so much emphasis is placed on 18 strikeouts.  The article leads with this, when in fact it should start with the record, and end on 18 (if it all).  --That man from Nantucket (talk) 21:08, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: 18 strikeouts typically represents two-thirds of a game (assuming all 18 Ks result in outs, resulting in 6 IP).  Two-thirds of a game is also required for a quality start.  Hence, why 18 Ks is used as the cutoff point. —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:12, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
