Hey guys, did I miss anything?

[GormanHarvey]

Hey guys, did I miss anything?

Nah, not really

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I live 2 miles from my office...that's 4.5 runs/mile on my commute. To their credit, the Reds announcers implied Arroyo had nothing after Braun's first AB. This is what the Dr. ordered.

[phxMILWfan]

I don't think I've ever seen Cameron give less than 100% effort breaking up the double play. I give the guy credit, up 9 taking out the 2nd baseman. Corey too, nice to see him flying down the line.

[phxMILWfan]

Hey maybe we will get to see Carlos Corporan's MLB debut!

[hurricanecrush]

We have a Dick Pole sighting.

[giffted1]

This would be a good time to get Brad Nelson some playing time, and if the lead is still large late in the game hopefully Corporan gets in.

[rluzinski]

71 pitches for Reds pitchers through 2 innings.

[jeffy]

Hopefully this is enough to keep Parra from stressing out.

[trwi7]

The number of bad calls at first base this year have been astounding.

[GormanHarvey]

Phillips was out. Great play Rick!!

[razzzorsharp]

Well, the Brewers have come back on the Reds from a nine run lead, knock on wood that we don't see that same only in reverse.

[trwi7]

Okay Manny. No need to start getting wild on us.

[phxMILWfan]

For anyone watching the Reds feed, does she still get the truck if a Reds player hits the actual truck? And does she get that exact same truck? Dent or broken window and all?

[DocLuna7]

Manny Parra has "no hitter stuff" according to Brian Anderson. I have no problem with BA, but isn't it just a bit ridiculous to say something like this about a guy who doesn't have a win yet? Thinking that "Parra has get the win tonight stuff" might be a bit more appropriate.

[dlk9s]

Wow, Herrera's screwball is sick.

I don't really think it matters if he doesn't have a win yet, but this isn't even close to Manny's best stuff.

[Schlitz001]

BA says some really crazy stuff sometimes. He is probably the only person in the US who is wondering if Manny Parra is going to pitch a no-hitter after recording 6 outs and giving up a hit.

 

EDIT: I think it's all part of BAs plan to jinx every game no matter the circumstance.

[GormanHarvey]

Sometimes I would really like to have a line of communication to BA so I could tell him to cork it

[BrewCrewForever]

Come on Manny, don't go making this game interesting.

[PrinceEatMeat]

It's because he doesn't want his voice to crack when he gets excited after a no-hitter. If anyone remembers his call of Braun's homer vs. the Cubs in the last game last year, you know what I mean.

[rluzinski]

Now Bill is saying that if the reds hit a bomb they'll be right back in it. A five run deficit is getting back into a game now? Sheesh.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Bill might be the dumbest color man in the business. Put Davey in the booth.

[trwi7]

Might as squish four guys in the booth. Brian, Bill, Davey and Telly. Yikes. How awful would that be?

[SeriesFinale]

The Reds' announcers seem to have more insight on Parra than his own announcers--they thought he could easily "melt down" if he starts feeling any pressure. They did their homework, I guess.

 

Anyway, the Brewers have a way of making these early laughers tense by game's end, so I hope they break that habit like they seem to have their extreme road and PNC Park woes.
