Whip me, beat me, take away my charge card, Bronson Arroyo pitched a complete game! Reds win 3-0!

PrintI don't have time to do a whole wrap tonight, so I'll give you the quick details:
- Bronson Arroyo told us all to shut up a bit. He's got this. Personally, I only plan to shut up for a week or so. His complete game was the second for him this season. The complete game shutout was the second by a Reds pitcher this season. Aaron Harang had the other one.
- Joey Votto told us all that if you want offense, you know who to come see. His home run to lead off the fourth extended his hitting streak to 13 games.
- Brandon Phillips carries American Express. He never steals home without it. His steal of home in the 4th was the first that I can find since Adam Dunn did the deed in 2004 as part of a double steal. Surely that's not right, but I can't find another example on Baseball-Reference. Somebody correct me when you hear differently.
- Laynce Nix popped in the daynce mix and the Reds party was in full swing when he hit his 8th home run of the season in the 6th.
It wasn't a banner offensive night, but with Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game Bronson Arroyo on the mound, it was enough to take home the win. Thankfully, the Mets are struggling much more at the plate right now than the Reds.

"The key to Bronson Arroyo's season is clearly facing a team that can't hit too well."
So THAT’S how all those shitty NL pitchers keep beating us.
Eighty-five percent of the f*ckin' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A f*ckin' playground for the cocks*ckers.

Yes.
David Wright and the Seven Dwarfs is about the right description of the lineup that faced Bronson.
And Adam Dunn's spirit, ranging for revenge / With Ate by his side come hot from hell, / Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice / Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war...

Yay
Nice work, Arroyo.
I’m glad we won this game. ‘Cause even though the Mets suck like a black hole, I’m kinda nervous about Cueto vs. Santana tomorrow.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
yeah!
good use of emoticons, Bronson will feel pumped. I really am glad to see him do well and the bullpen got a complete rest.
Since we're celebrating Bronson tonight
I just put this in the fanshots.

I wanna stay at this hotel
‘Haunted’ Milwaukee hotel scares MLB teams
MILWAUKEE – First Carlos Gomez heard voices. Then he watched his iPod go haywire after he got out of the shower, sending him scrambling for the lobby without stopping to put on his pants and shoes.
After last year’s experience, the Minnesota Twins outfielder didn’t want to go back to Milwaukee’s Pfister Hotel. But Gomez had to stay there when the Twins were in town to play the Milwaukee Brewers last month, so he brought some protection: Teammate-turned-roommate Francisco Liriano and a Bible.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
that is creepy
I won’t get near that hotel. Did the Reds by any chance stay there when they got swept by the Brew Crew?
common
You gotta love this hotel. Half-dressed baseball players scurrying down to the lobby – what’s not to like?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I guess I didn't focus on that aspect
The manager will see me with my camera wiating in teh lobby. He will politely say “Heard abotu the ghosts?” I will rpely “No, the baseball players!”

more interestingly (to me at least)
is that the founder of the hotel’s father was named Guido Pfister. I would haunt the living too if I had to spend eternity getting made fun of for a name like that.
Let's hope it was a non-wear part of his ipod that the ghost broke,
otherwise it will be Apple who will be ‘pfisting’ him!
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
I would guess
he just buys a new iPod whenever he wants, rather than futzing around with repairs.

Jonathan Sanchez has a perfect game
in the 7th. 3-0 count to Adrian Gonzalez. Throws a strike, then Adrian flies out to the warning track in left. Still perfect.
Bizarre. This is one of the wildest pitchers in the league.
And make that a no-hitter
Juan Uribe just booted a ground ball at 3B. Nice one, Uribe. He’ll be a Red soon.
That's a killer.
If he pulls it off, Uribe is toast.

Sanchez threw a wild pitch next, so the runner's at second now.
No DP chance now.
Although, Sanchez will probably start walking everyone since the PG is gone anyway.
He strands the runner at second.
8IP, 9 Ks. Sanchez has never even had a complete game. Which I swear is a lie, because I thought he threw a complete game shutout or two against the Reds.

That's one of my biggest fears this year.
When they faced Haren and when they faced Hamels the other day, I was just relieved the Reds got a hit.

I cannot believe his dad was there for this
Wasn’t he removed from the rotation? Three Cy Young award winners, plus Matt Cain, and it’s Jonathan Sanchez who throws the no hitter. Crazy.
The first time he's ever seen him pitch.
Wow. Just… wow.

That's baseball.
Also, very nice that the stadium was (almost?) full.

It was partially empty.
I’m pessimistic about beisbol at the moment.

was the Uribe error a no-doubter?

Yeah
Routine grounder to 3rd, he booted it and bobbled it and never even got a throw off

Fucker should have to do Sanchez's laundry for life.
And Sanchez should get the chance to fuck Uribe’s wife (or sister, mother, whatev).

definitely not a scorer's call
Tough in-between hop, and I think Uribe was a little anxious. He rushed, and had trouble finding the handle.
Poor guy. He was put in as a defensive replacement…and then that happened.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
If you're in the RR league, too late
He’s been sucking up a space on my roster all year. I think the only reason I got him was my memory of this game.
I should also say that Kuiper and Krukow are two of the best out there.
Hernandez and anyone in NY is tops, hands down.
If you haven't seen Madville's review of "Up" on reviews tab of the RR facebook page
I highly recommend it.

While I really liked the movie, he has a point about the boy scout
The art direction on him was so shaky that for awhile I was wondering why a movie called Up had a character with Downs.

Jacoby Ellsbury Stole Home
In the Sunday game of the first Sox-Yanks series this year. I know this only because that steal gave me a win for the week in my fantasy league. Btw, there’s nothing more exhilirating than getting a text alert that says “Brandon Phillips stole home.”
…okay, maybe watching it would be better, but we transplants have to manage somehow.
Watching it is better.
I was watching when Ellsbury took home. It was far prettier than the luck that befell Phillips last night. The best part of Ellsbury’s steal, I think, is the expression on Pettite’s face afterward.
im surprised pettite didn't plunk him next at bat

I was out djing tonight.......and.....
…..commented that this team is completely unpredictable. I almost bet someone $100 that the Reds would lose badly tonight, and then Bronson brings possibly his best pitched game tonight. Impressive. Glad I save my money by not betting.
Anyway………..good win…….even if the Mets didn’t have their best lineup.
I was reading Bronson's comments after the game
Sounds like he really wants tio stick around. Think it’s unlikely he’ll be traded anytime soon?
Nice work Bronson
I’ll take the 9 wins before the all star break.
sooooo…..what happens when Volquez returns to the rotation?

I think BP was complimented at the end of the clip, so I’m not sure who it was commenting.
Lineup
Bruce batting second and with Santana on the mound, Dusty went RH heavy through the bottom half …
Willy Taveras 8
Jay Bruce 9
Joey Votto 3
Brandon Phillips 4
Ramon Hernandez 2

Jonny Gomes 7
Jerry Hairston Jr. 6
Johnny Cueto 1

Dusty's reasoning for batting 2nd a month or so ago...
was that he’d see more fastballs with The Virus on first.
In theory, that makes sense…but why does he continue to think he’s going to be getting on base?
I agree...
and OMG TWO LEFTIES IN A ROW!!!!!!!!!1111111111111
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
and Cherry batting 8th
Who says Dusty can’t make adjustments?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
He will probably see more fastballs,
but I’d say it has less to do with the boy in front of him, and more to do with the man behind him.
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
This is what the Cards do with Rasmus batting in front of Pujols.
Rasmus always gets something to hit. I wish the Reds would adopt this.
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
didn't know this discussion was going on--actually helps makes sense of that decisiion
initially I thought it was crazy, but now it makes a bit of sense
I like it
Worth a shot. It’s what managers do when they want their players to hit for average and quit swinging for the fences so much, isn’t it?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
whoa, really?
Hal said Bruce would get today off, too.
