2012-06-26 Brewers (Estrada) at Reds (Arroyo), 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-3; Arroyo takes no-hitter into the 8th]

Pick one... I'd much rather, without a doubt, 100% surely, rather have Massonet than "Izzy."

That's ridiculous in my eyes. Ishikawa has a career OPS of .740 or so and over .800 this year Maysonet can't match that for a bat off the bench, he's barely better than Izturis.

[Raw Biz]

We don't need to resign Greinke, our new ace is on the bump tonight!

 

Oh really? Estrada always does this. Looks awesome for a few innings and then gives up the longball. That's why I (and others) think he's best served out of the bullpen.

[pebadger]

Everybody from Brian and Rock on down saw that coming. Everyone from Brian and Rock on up either didn't or just ignored it. Not sure which of those two is worse.

[burnzy24]

I wouldn't be that upset about a 3 run deficit if our bats hadn't been completely inept the past week.

Not talking about "Ishi", my biggest beef is with "Izzy" being on this roster.

 

 

 

Everyone could feel the magic about to end this inning except for one person...

I should have posted in blue, I figured everyone could feel my sarcasm.

[pebadger]

I don't necessarily think they had to pull Marco there, but nobody did anything to interrupt the flow of what was going on there. Just a quick visit to the mound (Kottaras, Kranitz, RR) might have made a difference there. Something to just let Marco catch his breath after two quick baserunners.

He had a quick 5th inning. Bullpen guys aren't robots and can't warmup in 1 minute..and besides who in the bullpen would have you wanted there?

[Funketown]

Bah freakin' humbug.

[jjgott]

Are we seriously getting no hit at GABP? Todd Frazier hit a HR there and wasn't even holding onto the friggin bat!

[pebadger]

If the no-hitter is still intact in the 9th, RR has to bat Weeks and Hart 1/2 in the 9th, doesn't he?

[chickinbrickin]

I wonder if RRR's post game presser will be the same as last night? "We just need to start swinging the bats..." Thanks for the great insight Ron....

 

SELL

[markedman5]

At least we hit one ball hard tonight.

 

I'm rooting for the no hitter now....that's how disgusted I am

Why, so Arroyo can start off the inning with two punch outs?

[markedman5]

I'm sure our offense is just pacing itself.....remember lefties kill Arroyo......

And how would that be any different than what's already happening? Obviously the overload on the lefties hasn't worked. Get some guys in there who haven't been fooled all night so far. Maybe see it/hit it is the answer. I don't think there really is an answer, but Izturis/PH then Aoki doesn't seem like much of a formula breaking it up, much less making a rally.

[owbc]

Just was checking the score on ESPN and saw our game got highlighted. Then I saw it is Bronson Arroyo. Not good.

[burnzy24]

How sad is our bullpen that Tim Dillard is the first pitcher up in the 7th during a 3 run game....

[ecjimg]

Come on....its Bronson Arroyo!

This is like being no hit by Jeff Karstens!!

Makes me sick.

I was going off your original post where you said Ishikawa is a waste of a roster spot.

[tommyboy42609]

Maybe about that time for someone on our team to actually swing at a 1st pitch right down the middle.

[TURBO]

Ishikawa IS a waste of a roster spot, he never should have been signed to begin with, he is WW fodder for a reason...

[TURBO]

How many times this season have we been no-hit up until or later than the 5th inning?

[TURBO]

C'mon Taylor, SPOIL IT!

[Mr QL]

lol first person on base

 

this is Bronson Arroyo, really?
