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.

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.

Well, Walt & Co. better do something, or it's another 3rd place finish this year.

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

Something needs to be done about this offense. This isn't on Dusty or any one player in particular, this is a team problem.

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?

And I thought this was the game we had the best chance to win against the Yankees!

Reds may be swept. Bailey will be shelled and CC will masterfully handle this top notch offense.
