[Mitchrapp]

Carp RBI single in 1st. 1-0 after 1 1/2.

Boy since his first week. It?s been a struggle fest at the plate for Meadows.

I can go 0-20 in a week for the league minimum and get DFAd and I'll be okay with that.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Olsen pitching well so far.

 

[biggunsbob]

Baddoo hits his 10th homer. 2 run shot. 3-0 tigers.

 

[biggunsbob]

Those runs snap a 23 inning scoreless streak by the Reds Bullpen.

 

[biggunsbob]

Baez looks safe to me.

 

[biggunsbob]

Shame Baez can?t hit anymore. He has decent speed.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Didn't even realize they had a no hitter going.

Didn't even realize they had a no hitter going.

Well, not no more.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Well, not no more.

it was over before I said anything.

 

[Mitchrapp]

A few bunt attempts tonight. None successful.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I get more excited on those RBI basehits than those solo home runs. Good job Tork.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Badoo got an infield hit today and yesterday. I wish he'd hit it on the ground more often. Too much speed.

 

[Mitchrapp]

GS Vierling 8-1.

Was not implying that you, or anyone, can jinx a no-hitter. In fact, I reject that possibility.

Okay. I did say it after the single in case anyone doesn't reject the possibility. Is not like the pitcher can hear me. Lol.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Good stretch.

During Nolan Ryan's no-hitter versus the Tigers in July, 1973, in the final two innings, Billy Martin yelled from the dugout steps after each successive out, something to the effect of:

"HEY RYAN YOU GOT A NO-HITTER GOING." With, I expect, the requisite expletives.
