I would rather Arroyo leave the game feeling good. But it looks like it will not matter. 0 runs won't win you too many ballgames.

Verlander lost his no hitter with one out in the 9th.

Votto back in unassuming Clark Kent role.

If nothing else he gave us 7 2/3 and we didn't need to use the pen much. Like you said, 0 runs isn't gonna win you any games.

I can't argue with that. He should have been out at 2-0. Pitched a hell of a game and he got hung out to dry. His line should have been 7.0 IP 2 ER
Re: Reds vs. Yankees Friday 5/18
Something needs to be done about this offense. This isn't on Dusty or any one player in particular, this is a team problem.
Re: Reds vs. Yankees Friday 5/18
Fire the hitting coach. Change up the lineup. DFA dead weight and take a flyer on anyone. Something, anything.

What's that?
A guy that throws right as well as hits right?
No Ludwick, for instance?
Re: Reds vs. Yankees Friday 5/18
And I thought this was the game we had the best chance to win against the Yankees!

Re: Reds vs. Yankees Friday 5/18
Reds may be swept. Bailey will be shelled and CC will masterfully handle this top notch offense.
