6/12/07 Brewers (Suppan) @ Tigers (Verlander): 6:05 PM CDT

[PeaveyFury]

If a tie really does go to the runner, Gross was safe.

[bucksman4]

1 inning left. 3 outs. Let the humbling begin.

 

Who's ready for the Yost "pat 'em on the back" quotes after this one. I'm predicting a "Verlander's stuff was unhittable (really Ned?) tonight" quote.

[thablingster]

Is it against the unwritten rules of baseball to pinch hit for a position player during a no hitter? LOL

[True CryM]

NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER.

[TauPentaRei]

and I still haven't seen an answer to my question: "is there something fundamentally incorrect about batting your DH 9th?

 

tonite's action: DH, and line-up spot

Gross, 9

Sheffield, 3

D. Young, 4

A. Huff, 5

Ortiz, 3

Spilborghs, 6

C. Tracy, 5

J. Damon, 1

G. Blum, 8

G. Norton, 4

Spiezio, 2

Sweeney, 4

Saltalamacchia, 6

M. Redmond, 6

 

Sure there is an anomaly or two, but 9th? !!

[bucks2281]

Counsell, Graffy, and Hardy up in the 9th. You really have to like Verlander's chances.

[JohnA17]

I think I am going to throw up, after Saturday night I thought no way can it get bad enough that I lose sleep again over these clowns. Something about being no hit is as rock bottom as it gets to me. Maybe I just need to stop watching these guys for awhile.

 

Is it time for training camp yet?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

what a catch by hall

[Bernman23]

I had an inkling we might get no hit around the 2nd inning. Our hitters are just being made to look silly by Verlander. This Lineup + a Nasty Young Pitcher + Interleague Play + Comerica Park = a long night for the Crew.

[aracko]

Punta - if you can have a DH and he hits 9th, yes something is VERY wrong with that.

 

I think that Ned Yost just wanted to get the lead story on Sportscenter again.

[PrinceFielder28]

Wow first time i look at the game and what do i see...we have no hits thru 8...Wow what a game!

[RU Rah Rah]

I am pro-no-no, despite the outcome.

[crewcrazy]

"Only after disaster can we be resurrected."

[bucksman4]

Awesome play by Mr. Hall. Have a Day, Bill, Have a Day!

[yfinn6]

At least the top of the order is due up in the 9th.

[PrinceFielder28]

Man Yost can't leave that lineup alone can he

[NormanBoobie]

Wow Bill Hall!! Nice Catch!

[BrewCrewForever]

Yeah I know its coming. Instead he should say that they stunk tonigh and have for over a month now and are the luckiest team alive that they are still in 1st.

 

I love that carsoup question. We are no where near as good as the 2006 Tigers.

[SeriesFinale]

I'm surprised how badly I feel about this

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Billy makes a nice Jim Edmonds-esque catch in center... bad angle, great catch. Capellan not pitching too bad either.

 

I'll try my hands at the jinx...

 

NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER!

[Bruce Ciskie]

Hey, this isn't like 1994 when Scott Erickson was freaking terrible. The only way I don't want to see a no-hitter here is if we're going to win. Verlander is a great young pitcher.

[rluzinski]

You know what, this is just 1 loss in a game the Brewers had little chance of winning anyway. I'd obviously prefer the Brewers NOT get no hit but I'm not going to dwell on it if it happens.

 

It does not foreshadow horrible things to come.

 

It does not prove that the Brewers are not a playoff team.

 

It proves that for one game, the Brewers were completely dominated by a very good pitcher.

 

(Now, please get a hit, Brewers)

Seriously? He was out by half a step.

[pebadger]

How many times in the history of major league baseball has a pitcher been releived to be scheduled to face the top of the order while take a no-hitter into the 9th?

[bucksman4]

Washburn hit in the go-ahead run in the Cubs/Mariners game. If the Cubs and Cards lose, I won't feel as bad.
