A-Roll-Dis Chapman and Almost No-No Arroyo

Once again, I apologize to my wonderful followers about my lack of posts. I've spent three of the last five days at the beautiful Great American Ball Park. I can say, I've been a very happy girl. Now to talk about tonight's crazy win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

No-No Arroyo:
And you all may be shocked when I say Bronson Arroyo pitched 7 innings of NO HIT baseball. He had an amazing success tonight over the Brew Crew. He gave up a double to Tyler Green, which ended up with 3 tying runs to come in. Arroyo was replaced by Sean Marshall. Bronson Arroyo received a standing ovation for his amazing effort and great start.

A-Roll-Dis Chapman:
Whenever I earn my ninth save of the season, I always do a somersault. Maybe two. However, Reds manager, Dusty Baker, and pitching coach Brian Price did not appreciate Aroldis Chapman's "decision of celebration." His somersault could've resulted in possible injuries. Veterans Joey Votto and Jay Bruce talked to Chapman for a couple of minutes, no news on what happened.

Todd Frazier Honored for Life Saving:
Last month in Pittsburgh, Reds outfielder and third basemen Todd Frazier saved a man's life by using the Heimlich Maneuver. Tonight's game, Dr. Henry Heimlich, the man who invented the life-saving procedure, met with Frazier. Dr. Heimlich presented Frazier with a "Save-a-Life" award to recognize his heroic acts.

4 Million For the 250 Million Dollar Man:
Reds star first baseman Joey Votto is now leading the All Star Votings with 4,475,180 total votes. Votto will be making his first All Star start. Votto has appeared in the last two All Star Games.
"I don't let my emotions go too high or too low, but this is something that is a great, great honor for me," Votto said. "Especially being able to do it as a Cincinnati Red. Hopefully things finish out well, but to be at this point, it's really something I'm very proud of."
Votto will be the first Red to start an All Star Game since Ken Griffey Jr. in 2007.
