6/29/07 Brewers (Gallardo) @ Cubs (Hill): 1:20 PM CDT

5-0 sure is nice in the 2nd inning.

[DHonks]

eerily similar start to the 2nd.

[jjfanec]

it is great to see hardy drawing walks more frequently lately. nice to get runners for braun, prince and hall

[fondybrewfan]

Has any hitter not seen at least 5 pitches per AB today?

[FVBrewerFan]

LF platoon WHOAA SOLVD

[DrG1ue]

hill at 70 pitches through 1.2

[tomwopat]

At wrigley... hill pc?

[CportBadger]

Hill probably won't even get an AB today. It's good enough that we're looking at a minumum of 5 innings against that bullpen today, but we get to tire them out and face them the rest of the weekend too.

[FVBrewerFan]

74 pitches in 2 innings! Burn that bullpen first game of the series Scrubs.

[DHonks]

Hill at 74 pitches already. Hard to imagine him making it through 4. With the Cubs' bullpen already in shambles, it's good to see for the series

[jjfanec]

I would guess hill gets one more inning unless his spot in the order comes up this inning, then they would probably pinch hit him. i would guess we get 6 innings of their bullpen which will be nice. hopefully yo can go 7 or so for our bullpen to be well rested

[Hammer]

Is YoGa's velocity really low today or is that normal? Everything seems to be at 88 mph...(unless the gun is shot)

[SeriesFinale]

I'd really have loved to see them push one across there...five runs is hardly insurmountable.

 

Hard to complain about the 1st inning though, my favorite of the year on both halves.

[hawing]

And every time I'm at a game and he starts.. I talk mad smack about him and bam. He does something clutch.

 

Sorry to pile on, Sgt, but don't stop the mad smack.

 

In fact, maybe we should have some designated smack talkers - one for each Brewer on the 25 man roster. Jamie can be the manager of team smack talk.

Maybe we should talk nicely about Yost then?

[jjfanec]

The wgn gun has him at 90-92 mph, but the cubs batters seem way behind his stuff

[bsglorydays]

Full count.. don't lose Pie.

[DHonks]

Hammer,

It's hard to tell with velocity this year. In the first month of the year, every broadcast for the Crew showed guys throwing 3-5 mph less than last year. For the last two months, they've been better gun readings. Plus, he's hitting 92 plenty today, and has struck guys out (like Soriano) on heaters, so my thought is this is just a slow gun.

[bsglorydays]

Working out of a jam...nice.

[Hammer]

Thanks DHonks. This is the first time I have been able to see him live so I was not sure http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Hey #33, who are you, and what have you done with Johnny Estrada?

[iluvlamp]

hahahaha. Scrubs at their best.

[CportBadger]

Estrada's long AB there all but insures this is the last inning for Hill.

Has anyone else noticed that there are a lot of good looking women in the stands today?

 

That is the only good thing about Wrigley http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Rich Hill is done for the day, 92 pitches.
