Related trivia to the no-hitter discussion, how is it possible to throw a perfect game while still committing an error?

 

Drop a foul ball.

Good catch. I had forgotten to consider that an error doesn't necessarily cause a batter to reach base.

This is the worst I've ever seen the Brewers play on defense.

[I Heart Brewers]

Why do they keep trotting Freeman out there? He's garbage, right? Then again so is everyone on that staff sans Nelson. I don't care how decent the offense is. I'm standing by my 59 win prediction. This team will lose all hope very soon. Injuries, losses, all that stuff adds up in your head.

 

And I'm not complaining. I expect mediocrity for the next few years. I hope for it. Get those high picks and trade aways what's left please.

Did he actually ever have that ball? Couldn't really tell the FS Crew sucks and doesn't show good replays.

Who do you want Boyer? Torres? More Capuano? The answer is our bullpen sucks and our starters can't get through 5 innings that is why.

I kind of answered it same way ("Then again so is everyone on that staff sans Nelson") you did but it was just a chance to vent. I know. They are terrible.

 

Now what I did do was complain right after I said "and I'm not complaining" so you can ding me for that.

The birds in the outfield are great.

All you need to know about the Brewer offense is the game thread was mostly about what is officially a No Hitter.

[1992casey]

Well, we could make it a discussion of the ring-billed gull, which is probably what the birds scavenging for food were.

It was a valuable exercise since it will happen to the Brewers this year, even though it was never in question today.

I'd say that's a fair prediction. We no longer have Carlos around to swat some weird quacker and break up the no-no for us.

Well said.

Heh, i guess "thats why we play the game" means "confirm what we already knew of the outcome".

[CheezWizHed]

I wish I was listening to Uecker. These games were when he was at his best.
