Was only a matter of time, I guess.

 

Hmmm....not sure I disagree, though. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

At least Capellan had some nice movement on his fastball tonight. Did any one else think that? It looked as if his fastball was moving in on righties, like a 2-seam. He also had nice velocity and tight break on his slider.

[madjeff66]

It was obvious Verlander had killer stuff tonight, whether he throws a no-hitter or 2-hitter is somewhat immaterial. He beats pretty much everybody tonight.

 

Makes Sunday's come from behind job real big and becomes a footnote if they can win tomorrow.

Cheer up guys. No matter how badly we play the Cards and the Cubbies manage to keep pace......http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Cards losing to KC 15-0 in the 6th........Cubs down 3-2 in the 8th.

Sportscenter will be dominated by the NBA Finals tonight. There will be less than normal exposure to his no-hitter.

Could be, but Baseball Tonight is going nuts with it. Argh. 24-10 and I think they gave us an extra minute or two... now... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/embarassed.gif

Yeah, I kind of wish this had occurred on Thursday, when it would have received less of an audience.

Yosted again

Just got home and reading through the thread.

 

I can't even believe people are saying the team was "Yosted".

 

How about "Verlandered"??

 

So what...you didnt like Graffanino for Braun....big deal.

 

Braun goes 2 for 4 with 2 solo shots and we lose 4-2.

 

Verlander was phenominal.

 

You act like the lineup was the worst ever constructed, but who would you have rather had in there??

 

Mench against the toughest righty in the league?

Gwynn?

Miller?

Obviously you wanted Braun in....maybe Yost wanted to save Braun the 0-4 with 4 K's to keep some of his confidence.

 

I just dont' see how a no-hitter can be blamed on the lineup??

So Counsell, Hardy, Fielder, Hart, Jenkins, Estrada, Hall and Gross aren't to blame? Just Ned Yost's decision to play Graffanino instead of Braun??

[SeriesFinale]

Cubs have tied it and have two on, no outs in the 9th

 

What a world, what a world....

and bases loaded. Crud

[SeriesFinale]

And they leave all three stranded! Nice!

[JET15]

WSJ just posted the game article with this depressing stat: the Crew has lost 20 of the last 30 since that 24-10 peak record. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[SeriesFinale]

I think I'm over this individual loss already, no-hitter or not.

 

The way the team has been playing in general for a month, no, I'm still nauseous there.

[brewerjamie15]

Not only did Verlander get a no hitter, but that's also a Quality Start folks!

 

Nice job. I am lucky to have seen history against the Brewers. I don't ever want to see it again.

[SeriesFinale]

Cubs and M's head into the 11th. I'd love to see Seattle pull it out but the way the day's been going I don't count on it.

[bucksman4]

Obviously you wanted Braun in....maybe Yost wanted to save Braun the 0-4 with 4 K's to keep some of his confidence.

 

mikerollins...sorry man, but that is a horrible rationale for sitting Braun. In my opinion, it would be my job as a manager to put the best lineup I could possibly assemble against a tough pitcher like Verlander.

 

If Yost believes he is doing what he promised and is "putting the best team on the field for that given day," essentially what he is saying is Graffanino and sub-.200 Gross gives the team as good of a chance or better chance to win as Gwynn and Braun would have. I'm sorry, but you don't have to be an "insider" to realize that his choice was a very poor one.

[UeckerAddict]

Am I the only one who is surprised that the Brewers getting no hit didn't come during a Sheets start?

[iluvlamp]

Cubs are losing for what it it's worth

[iluvlamp]

And the Cubs are in a rally.

[iluvlamp]

Cubs lose

[bucks2281]

I believe the Brewers will still be in first when they return home. Good news.

The Crew can have two teams tied for second, get no hit and STILL not lose ground in the standings. Team of destiny, I tell ya!

[bigredrobbo]

In the last 5 seasons the Braves were no hit in a season in which they won their division easily and the Yankees were no hit in a season in which they went to the World Series, so the "OMG this is so embarrassing" crap is, frankly, embarrassing.

 

Verlander was filthy and deserves all the praise for the performance. I thought he got lucky with a couple of the generous strike zone calls by the umps late in the game, but, hey, they probably never saw a no-hitter either.

 

We haven't been playing well lately, that's a fact, but at our best we weren't winning tonight. Sucks, move on...

[SlideBernieSlide]

I agree with Billy Joe Robideaux

Asked about the pressure of being the last hitter between Verlander and a no-hitter, Hardy said, "I think the pressure started mounting in the first inning when he was throwing 100 mph with that curveball and changeup."
