I like our chances in this one

[Clem Fandango]

This is just an embarrassment of riches.

[DurbanJer]

Let's replicate this game through October.

Seriously Jake, every pitch right down the middle until they get a hit.

[Agony and Ivy]

Cubs fans were insufferable during the "struggle" against the Rockies. Weirdly quiet tonight.

[fallacy]

Hopefully Arrieta gets that awful called strike for the rest of the game

[Derwood]

Man, what a night for me to be away from a TV. Just got in to see this going on. I feel sorry for missing all the Thom schadenfreude

[Brian]

first hit will be pinch hit by hamilton

[Careless]

7 outs and 30 pitches to 120... he's not getting pulled without giving up a hit

[Clem Fandango]

Whats crazy is the no hitter feels like an afterthought right now. I keep forgetting about it.

So you missed the play where with Ross on second, Arrieta singled into right. Ross went to take third, which was risky for a catcher. The throw was over the 3b head and the pitcher backing him up caught it. Arrieta was stuck between first and second, so the pitcher threw to first and it bounced and wasn't caught, leading to Ross scoring.

[bukie]

94 through 7. He'll get one more chance at HRing tonight.

[CubinNY]

He has a nasty curve ball tonight.

I'm not up-to-date on the protocol, but how can we possibly let someone besides Fred start the next Game Thread?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I didn't realize what was going on til I ran and got the pregnant craving mother of my child DQ and turned the radio on and Pat told me. Haha, missed the 5th and 6th inning.

[bcl412]

Arrieta is pure, sexy perfection. I ain't worried about his pitch count.

[Omar]

Reds, this is what happens when you bench billy Hamilton

[Schwarber Fan]

Is Szczur in for Soler yet?

[Brian]

Is Szczur in for Soler yet?

 

yes
