4/4/08 Giants (Sanchez) at Brewers (Villanueva): 1:05 PM CDT

[And That]

"Not a whole lot of memories from Opening Day for that group." Good job, BA!

[SeriesFinale]

Man, the Tigers bullpen is gonna be an albatross around their neck

 

Anyway, Sanchez looks (or "sounds" as it were) pretty good...hopefully we can tag another one or two on.

[SoCalBrewfan]

Just thinking ahead here...like I'm sure Yost will be. Shouse would be best-suited for an inning facing Roberts, Velez, and Winn...probably the 8th? Gagne should be good for an inning. Mota for the seventh and part of the sixth today?

[jazzytrav]

At some point, Turnbow has to pitch, too

[SeriesFinale]

JJ's starting really really slowly here.

[SeriesFinale]

Turnbow pitched yesterday, no way he goes today

[crewcrazy]

Well at least Sanchez is nearing 70 pitches already. Hardy's been really slow out of the gate so far, though.

[jazzytrav]

Woops, I didn't even realize Turnbow went yesterday.

[Oldcity]

Hey, a quick out for CV! How about two more?

One more to go and we might even get a full 6th

[homer]

Villy over 80 pitches - hope for a quick inning so he can throw one more.

[BrewCrewForever]

Shouse, Mota and or Riske going before the 9th today would be my vote with Gagne in the 9th.

[jazzytrav]

Sounds like someone gave Villy the memo. 5 pitches, 2 outs http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[SoCalBrewfan]

I would assume McClung would not pitch today, and that Turnbow would be less likely than others, though he could go if really needed. Shouse hasn't pitched yet, and the lefty / SH / SH top of the SF order is a natural place for him. Torres and Riske must also be available though I'd imagine Mota and Gagne would be more likely.

 

So far an efficient inning by CV...

[Schlitz001]

Why is it everytime FSN shows Hardy out in the field he's grabbing his left arm or shoulder. Is he hurt?

[jazzytrav]

I imagine Gagne depends on if it's a save situation, which it would be if the score stays the same...I'm just hoping it doesn't.

[derflotr]

good inning, maybe they'll squeeze another one out of Villy.

[And That]

Villy should start the 6th anyway. 88 pitches.

[jazzytrav]

Alright, 11 pitch inning. He can at least start the 6th now, possibly going the full inning if he's efficient.

[trwi7]

11 pitch inning, CV at 88 pitches. That's what I wanted to see, low pitch count in the 5th so we can get another inning out of him.

[jazzytrav]

Hey, we should all say the same thing at the same time http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

The really strange situations are when we all agree on something like this and Yost does something completely different...

[Giraldo8]

Gosh I sure like this Kendall fella!

[SeriesFinale]

Kendall's been a beauty so far (I'll pass on commenting on those four SBs yesterday)

[SpaceBadger16]

I'm a Jason Kendall fan. I've already forgotten Johnny Estrada. And I've got a feeling that Kendall's experience behind the plate will help the staff as the season goes on.

[trwi7]

Sanchez' pickoff move is weak.
