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

It's a fluke and Verlander was absolutely in the zone.

 

Is being 10-20 in the last 30 games a fluke too? Uh, the writing has been on the wall for awhile now.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Great game by Verlander, but what a terrible lineup. I'm starting to think Yost is in way over his head.

[danzig6767]

The guy threw a 102 mph fastball in the 9th inning,now that's crazy and shows the stuff he has.

At least Hall had 3 walks and played good D and made that sliding catch. Ah our highest paid player is now 7-7. That is fantastic.

[Oldcity]

That was awesome, but in the eigth and ninth he was getting strike calls on balls three inches off the plate. Oh well, what can you do.

[jimmyjeromehardy7]

Congrats Verlander!

 

Is this what rock bottom feels like? Its all up from here...that's what I am going to keep telling myself tonight.

[augie46]

I agree that this is rock bottom. I really feel that this is the wake-up call that gets us to play better baseball, with improved results.

Of course it has. But a no-hitter, while a great performace, is a fluke. It only happens a couple of times each season, sometimes less. I can fairly say that this is the worst game of the season.

Helluva game pitched by Verlander, and he had luck on his side -- the sliding catch by Ordonez and the double play to end the 8th were impressive plays.

He lucked out with that lineup too

[TeeJayh1980]

I think absolute rock bottom would be seeing us in 3rd place in 2 weeks

[burniebrewer]

Yeah, there was some luck on his side and the strike zone may have been exaggerated at times, but Verlander was plain filthy and dominated our hitters.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

was that the first interleague no hitter ?

[Member]

Wow.

 

Those guys looked like they were just standing around, wondering what the heck was going on.

 

I only have one thing to say: thank God we're in the NL Central, or we'd be in serious trouble.

[bucks2281]

Houston no-hit the Yankees in 2003.

Verlander doesn't get a no hitter every time he goes out there ... I'm sure his "stuff" has been just as "insane" or "amazing" on plenty of other outings. We screwed up and sucked it up bigtime tonight, in absolutely embarassing fashion.

Yikes, I don't know if a non-Brewers fan would see it this way. He was dominant. He hit 102 in the ninth! That's not something he does every start. Despite the horrid lineup, I'd say this was much more Verlander pitching out of his mind than the Brewers sucking.

[UeckerAddict]

That was two hours of my life that I want back.

 

Brewers player of the game: Bill Hall 0-0 3 walks.

[ccbrew]

David Cone threw his perfect game in 1999 against the Expos too.

[Iron Chef Napalm]

I now know why Miller is a sponsors the Brewers. Even a teetotaler such as myself is considering imbibing after watching this team.

 

Why is it that so many of these teams seem to play their best against the Brewers? Cubs start playing up to their payroll... Rangers show up for the first time this year... Tigers morph from men to gods...

[jazzytrav]

Can we blame it on the seagulls? I blame it on the seagulls. Ignorance is bliss.

[bucks2281]

Tonight's postgame show on WSSP should be entertaining tonight.

[rluzinski]

I'll tell you what, if the Brewers get no hit tomorrow, then I'll really start getting mad. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

This sucks but I'm not going to dwell on it and neither will the Brewers. Less than 24 hours before they go at it again.

[lbb020]

lost 20 of 30, closer has blown his last 2 save chances (one being totally ridiculous and rarely ever seen....2 outs, 2 strikes, up 3 runs and nobody on) and now the victims of a no hitter. This has to be as bad as it gets...right? How are we possibly still in first place?

[bucks2281]

ESPN is obsessing with Verlander tonight, but once the NBA game is finished, they'll be singing the praises of LeBron probably, and this will be forgotten by tomorrow afternoon. You just have to laugh about this and tip your hat to a great outing.
