2018-07-28: Brewers (Chacín) at Giants (Cueto) 8:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-1 -- Mike Moustakas makes Brewers Debut]

[folly412]

Though the hit/error happened a bit earlier, I'll always remember the Sabathia no hitter that wasn't.

[HarveysWBs]

I love how one move and a good game suddenly makes our offense this great beast. A week ago the sun was on its way to collide with earth and we should sell. Now the the forum is upbeat ready to reserve postseason tickets.

 

Times like this make me honestly wonder if a big acquisition can actually make the clubhouse more upbeat and make the team play better as a whole.

 

Sometimes, the old school diehards with their talk of "chemistry" and "momentum" and "energy" just might be on to something.

 

There are more things in heaven and earth, TPlush, than are contained in your philosophy...

 

 

Yep these things are all true except when they aren't. If a move works it gets called chemistry and if it doesn't you just don't talk about it. The teams chemistry has not changed because of Moustakas, that is simply absurd to say after half a game.

 

If the clubhouse believes it, then maybe they can make it so. Baseball games, like all great human pursuits, are completed first between the ears.

Kratz and Arcia combine for 4 hits!

[82brewcrew82]

This team is fun when the starting pitching goes deep into games and the bottom of the lineup contributes.

[pacopete4]

Kratz smells the blood in the water. Wants to be this teams starter. What a great story he’s turning out to being.

[folly412]

Factoring in the remaining portion of this season, Pablo Sandoval is still owed just a hair under $30 million from the Red Sox. Oof.

[topper09er]

I believe the closest to a no-hitter I have ever seen is Yovani Gallardo who got one out in the 8th before blowing it.

Our closest no-no besides Nieves was Odell Jones, lost after 8.1 IP

Then there was the Sabathia no hitter that wasn't ruled a no hitter, even though we all know it was a no hitter...

 

I was at that game in PIT, comebacker to the pitcher, picks it up, drops it...obvious hit.

[jjfanec]

Maybe it is nitpicking but why Perez here

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

What was the game where the pitcher actually threw a perfect game, but the ump massively blotched the play and called someone safe (for a hit) that was clearly out?

[TooLiveBrew]

Thames!!!! Heads up baserunning twice this inning!!!

[markedman5]

Thames steals a run....nice

[yfinn6]

PEREZ WALKS

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Maybe it is nitpicking but why Perez here

 

I thought the same thing. Why Perez with Braun available? (with 2 runners on)

CC.....that isn't the one your thinking of.....ump just called a hit that should have been en error

[OnaBadger58]

Dozier would not approve. Good thing he isn't a Brewer.

[HarveysWBs]

CC knew Black would press to make a perfect pitch to Perez that the likelihood of a wild pitch increases 6.7%, thus allowing an easy run across. Quite the chess player, that Counsell.

No, I remember that. It was as play at first I believe.

[StearnsFTW]

Pretty sure it was Armando Galarraga.

 

And it was a really good ump who blew it.

 

All by memory so not sure. Tom Hallion maybe?

 

Edit: I looked it up and it was Jim Joyce who is widely recognized as the best ump in the game.

Nope, not CC. Was Armando Galarraga. Had to look it up.

[82brewcrew82]

[sarcasm]That move to second just killing Shaw's offense.[/sarcasm]

OK, before anyone answers, I remember when this happened I thought 1 cool thing about was that it would end up being much more memorable than most actual perfectos because of the controversy.

 

So, who can name the 3 perfect games since this perfect game that wasn't happened?

Gallaraga with the Tigers.

Ump - Jim Joyce

Pitcher - Armando Gallaraga (DET)

Poor Jim Joyce. I remember at the time that players kinda rallied around him & said he was one of the best umps in MLB. And if I recall correctly, Joyce was distraught like right after he made the call at 1B.

[markedman5]

I remembered

Galarraga from the Tigers. 2010 or 2011 season I believe. Blown easy call at 1B.
