Ah, broken up with 2 outs in the 9th with a base hit off of Aaron Hill's glove.

Re: Brandon Morrow Doing Interesting "Thing" vs. Rays?
Ouch -- still one heck of a day for Morrow. How many times has that been for the Rays? So weird that one of the best teams in baseball has been on the wrong end of these.

Re: Brandon Morrow Doing Interesting "Thing" vs. Rays?
Oh so close. Hill got to the ball but it kicked off his glove. Great start by Morrow. IIRC, he carried a no-no into the 8th inning with the Mariners a couple years ago. His stuff is filthy.

Re: Brandon Morrow Doing Interesting "Thing" vs. Rays?
Just got the CGSO on strikeout #17. Still one of the more impressive games you'll see -- I wonder what the game score looks like. 136 pitches...

Re: Brandon Morrow Doing Interesting "Thing" vs. Rays?
In the hypothetical event that a certain Reds pitcher is throwing one of 'these', can we all agree not to start a thread for it? Call me superstitious, but I think it gives us our best chance of it happening.
