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

How about another one of those one pitch DP balls.

[dlk9s]

This game is a perfect example of why walks can kill. The Brewers were the beneficiaries of free passes in the 1st, and all of the Cubs' runs have come after leadoff walks.

 

I really should've made my first post a more positive one, so here you go:

 

We're still winning!

After putting put a 5 spot in the first inning, looks like the Brewers O decided to head out to wrigleyville a bit too early - they have to tack some runs on before this is said and done.

Let's just get Ramirez

 

(That Turnbow inning's gonna be a doozy today)

[valpocrewsader]

Welcome aboard, dlk9s.

Glad to see yost with a short leash when one of his relief pitchers doesnt have their usual command. Now i'd like to see him yank turnbow that quickly when he's struggling.

[samwise]

Wise is a stud.

[JET15]

Wise is one happy dude after putting down Lee and Ramirez... and so am I

[SeriesFinale]

HUGE!

 

Hopefully that's the last we see of the heart of their order today

[dlk9s]

Yeah, I'm really nervous about the Turnbow 8th.

 

He just needs to get ahead in the count. When he falls behind, he either walks guys or serves up fastballs down the middle. When he's ahead, he can break out the slider and keep batters guessing.

 

By the way, Wise needs to be allowed to pitch to more than one or two batters on a more consistent basis.

[valpocrewsader]

Why don't a I own a WISE jersey yet?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

wise was sick that inning

[olliegjw]

Wow, two first time poster's on page 9 of an in-game thread. Russ, what are the odds of that happening on June 29th. Welcome aboard guys.

 

PS - Well done Wise!

[SeriesFinale]

I agree with you Matt Wise...the bullpen deserves a hand.

[jhart05]

Com'on now boys put a couple more up on the board here, it's getting too close for comfort now.

[giffted1]

Wise has really been on a roll lately.

 

I'll also give Yost some love for pulling Villy before the inning got too far out of control.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Get some runs!!

 

----------------------

[steve267268]

Alright Matty!

 

I think we can all agree that Yost has been flawless tonight in his decision making.

 

He cannot control what CV does, but when he failed he brought in Wise instead of Spurling or Capellan. So far so good.

[adambr2]

Who is that fat slob in the Cub's booth? Was he some kind of celebrity? I think he's gone now.

[olliegjw]

Let's get a few runs here and let Spurling close out the last two innings. Uh oh, Marmol is in. He has been pretty nasty lately.

[jhart05]

Let's hope for the the dominate T-Bow today.

[valpocrewsader]

Wow, way to squander a nice headstart today, Brewers. I guess I should have expected it. It's never good when you can take one inning off the board and be left with a shutout.

[TonyGwynnJr22]

11 strikeouts and only 3 walks today for the crew, thank god for that first inning.

[olliegjw]

Anyone else think that Yost would have let CV pitch the 8th if he had gotten through the 7th easily?

[Fear The Chorizo]

3 up, 3 down for TBow would hopefully lead to not having to face Lee/Ramirez until tomorrow.
