4/10/08 Reds (Harang) at Brewers (Villanueva): 12:05 PM CDT

He was tiring last inning? At pitch 69?

That sounds like the perfect long relief candidate.

[sheethead]

This is funny. If that is the case Villy should be out of the lineup. Two hits and 70 pitches and he should of been out. Now this is complete nonsense.

Even if they were 2 hits to lead off the inning, and the second one was a bomb? Not completely nonsense to get him out of there after that. Ned was going on pitch count alone, simple as that. The Reds figured out CV, but Ned did not figure out the Reds figured it out until three hits and a run later. BOOOO!!!!

Semi-Yosted!!

[sheetswannabe]

I would trade Weeks for Harang in a second

[PrinceFielder28]

haven't had a hit since the 5th inning

[sheetswannabe]

Sheethead, the first hit was a check swing hit.... I wouldnt really count that as something to be worried about

O so now after a couple hits we know, that they know, how to hit Villy. Hilarious! And what does this have to do with Yost? Doesn't that have to do with Villy, knowing what they are thinking and then changing his thinking? This gets better every game in here.

Where did this come from?

 

But yeah I would too.

[trwi7]

but our offense is still just our offense, which is above average.

I disagree. This isn't our offense from last year. This offense is garbage.

[BrewCrewForever]

Well we need to hold them and hope we can score 4 runs in the next two innings for a W. Not looking good the way these guys are swinging the sticks today.

[PrinceFielder28]

Did the team already board the plane for NY?

[Gobias Industries]

This game is so painful to watch that I've switched to gameday. The approach at the plate is so bad right now.

[brains and braun]

Wow! I can see that I'm going to have to take some breaks from BF.net because whenever the Crew loses the world comes to an end.

[owbc]

So a check-swing single and one hanging curveball constitutes "figuring out" a pitcher?

 

Add this to one of the 60 losses, there isn't anything Yost could have done if we don't score runs.

[olliegjw]

Reds 1-4 hitters are 0-14, and they are still winning.

[sheetswannabe]

This teams offense isnt that bad... at all.. i like it more then last years actually.. Hitting with RISP..they had 2 bad games sheesh.

 

You guys act like Cubs fans sometimes...

[whynotthebrewers]

Wow! I can see that I'm going to have to take some breaks from BF.net because whenever the Crew loses the world comes to an end.

 

The world may not end but the team is terrible and complete garbage.

Are you watching the game or just listening? Yeah, you could see that Villy was tiring. His pitches were up, he was missing his spots and the Reds were catching on to him in the 6th. Sheesh, step away from the hate button already. To me, it was a valid point since I am actually watching the game.

[Pointer1VB]

FIRE WYNEGER!

[sheetswannabe]

A pitcher leaves 2 pitches up and hes tired now?

[olliegjw]

Harang with 84 pitches - 64 for strikes. That's pounding the strike zone.

[Pointer1VB]

Sheesh, step away from the hate button already.

 

Same to you towards Villy and Yost.

The world may not end but the team is terrible and complete garbage.

Are you calling the battlers garbage?

 

[GormanHarvey]

EVERYONE TAKE A DEEP BREATH! The game isn't over yet, but even if we do lose we are 6-3. I know - probably should take 2 out of 3 against the Reds at home, but we did face Cueto and Harang. IT WILL BE OKAY...

[Fear The Chorizo]

Harang with 84 pitches - 64 for strikes. That's pounding the strike zone.

A patient approach with that ratio gets hitters into a lot of 2 strike counts...it's not as if Brewer hitters are swinging at balls out of the strike zone...

 

Harang is pitching a gem, and the sketchy Brewer offense is making it even more impressive.

[GoudaBrew]

I think we need to look at the big picture here.

We took 2/3 from the Cubs.

We won 4/6 at home.

The two home losses came against one of the league's best pitchers and the other one against one of the league's best up-and-coming pitchers. Keep in mind, in these losses, we were putting out our two worst (probably) pitchers.

The real test is to come this weekend....
