[QUOTE="Paint It Purple, post: 2727778, member: 67408"] No-hitter superstition may not be rooted so much in superstition as it is based on real-life psychology. The “incubation effect” for instance could be used as an explanation for the ritual of isolating the pitcher in a late inning no hit bid. The break or isolation, gives the mind time to focus in on the task or routine ahead. Not speaking of it in general could be an extension of the effect to those directly involved. Mentioning a no hit bid on the news ticker or on the broadcast doesn’t involve the participants involved in the mental, (pitch calls) and physical battle. Bringing it into question with a direct participant could alter their mental focus and approach, not to mention the bad-taste of the person broaching the subject for monetary purposes (ie: ESPN’s KH) and in direct conflict with polite behavior and convention.
