DISPATCH! FINISH! SLAY!

[dlk9s]

With Harang pitching, I'm afraid we might need a brilliant performance from Yo. I'll cross my fingers and hope I'm very, very wrong, though!

 

Go Brewers!

Big Day today!

[And That]

I've been saying for at least a month now that this is a must sweep series.

[lukevan]

Hopefully the boys show up to win today, it's all too easy to lay an egg on getaway day after already winning the series.

 

In mourning of today's demotion, I will revive my Joe Dillon avatar. Come back soon Crazy Joe Dill-vola!

I would rather have Bush take Sheets' next start and give Sheets a little extra time to relax the tricep.

I would rather have Bush take Sheets' next start and give Sheets a little extra time to relax the tricep.

I'm not a huge Bush fan, but I totally agree with this. It's almost like treating Sheets like one of the young guys and trying to limit his innings throughout the beginning of the year. He might not get to 200 at the end of the year, but I'd personally rather see him hit 160 with 16 wins than 120 and a stretch on the DL.

This Reds' pregame segment is a little ridiculous: "How does Johnny Cueto compare to Greg Maddux at the respective stages of their careers?"

 

Guys...

 

I do like that Bronson Arroyo commercial though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCUZlQA_zhQ&feature=related

Weeks needs to start changing his approach with 2 strikes a little bit. Seems like every time he strikes out, he's doing so with the bat sitting right on his shoulders.

[COOOOP]

Yay for morning baseball, I can crank Ueck and do yard work before it gets hot!

[Ennder]

Marvin Hudson slightly favors hitters. He pinches pitchers on the corners but is generous with high strikes and very generous with low strikes.

[giffted1]

I love how Dusty shuffles his lineup around but completely ignores the problem at the top of it.

 

Edit - And of course, Patterson draws a walk now.

[Ennder]

I really hate pitchout calls with a pitcher who isn't throwing strikes yet.

[dlk9s]

I wouldn't be surprised if the initial walk was a case of over excitement/nerves. I'm only following online and on the radio, but it seems like Gallardo settled down nicely.

[yfinn6]

Wow, a couple of those pitches were right in Prince's wheelhouse. That strike 3 - I thought - was a homerun waiting when Harang let it go.

[And That]

Harang has the good stuff today. Hitting corners and good movement on his pitches. Too bad the onus has to be on Gallardo his first start back.

[crewcrazy]

At this rate the game will be done in 2 hours flat...both Harang and Yo are dealing.

[DannyKmilw]

Anyone have dish network? I cannot find the game...usually channel 445 but im getting college softball!!!

[adambr2]

Sounds like Bush is definitely out of the rotation when Sheets is healthy.

[uwisfan]

ive got it on 444 dish

[uwisfan]

Sounds like Bush is definitely out of the rotation when if Sheets is healthy.

 

Fixed it

[adambr2]

Damn...Gross just missed it...

[Ennder]

Through yesterdays game the plus/minus system has us at +8 which is good for 7th in the NL and a huge improvement over last year.

[And That]

Yovani = our best hitter?

[uwisfan]

way to break up the no-no..i've been saying he should be used as a PH
