Actually I'm 20, so if anything it would be the opposite http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

And Craig Counsell takes 5 balls that at bat. This could get real frustrating if Yo doesn't get those same calls.

In the first I thought this ump was squeezing Zambrano but in the second he seemed to widen his zone. Consistency please?

[And That]

The 3-1 pitch looked like a borderline strike but the 3-2 pitch was not close. Hart got a terrible jump, too.

[pebadger]

I think the only thing consistent about today's zone will be inconsistency. I'm fully prepared to be just furious before the day is through.

[dlk9s]

Hart got a terrible jump, too.

It was probably a sort of hit-and-run jump, figuring that Counsell either walks or makes contact.

 

[trwi7]

Does anyone have any idea how old Trenni is? It's not a big deal but I couldn't find it anywhere, me and a couple friends had a friendly bet on it.

 

For real though she's older than I am and I'm younger than Yovani so that probably doesn't help you at all. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Also was having Hart run on a 3-2 pitch really a good idea? I know Gallardo is a great hitter for a pitcher but you still wouldn't want him to lead off an inning if you didn't have to.

[And That]

It looked like Hart wanted to run that whole sequence. If it were a hit-and-run, Counsell should have swung at anything close... I just think Corey couldn't get a good jump on Zambrano's slide-step but decided to chance it.

 

[bacon06]

Alright, so the wide zone is going both ways......for now. I can deal with that.

[GormanHarvey]

This ump's zone is a lesson in inconsistency. Tight in the 1st, wide in the 2nd,...

[sheethead]

at least he ump is calling it both ways so far

I think it was a "sort" of hit-and-run jump, not an actual hit-and-run, meaning that Hart decided to take the chance that Counsell would make contact. I see what you are saying, though.

 

[sheetswannabe]

I will say, Reeds catch was simply amazing.

[trwi7]

Yes we've had a chance to see this catch Brian. You've only shown it like 30 times this series.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Bring in Turnbow

[GormanHarvey]

YO looks good...as usual. Hard for me to say, but that catch by Reed Johnson against the Nats was unbelievable. I saw it live and I thought he was going to break his neck

[I Heart Brewers]

I went to college with Trenni and she was a few years older than me so 31-32ish.

[GormanHarvey]

Like I said earlier, I'm pretty sure she said she was 31 last night

Cubs Jerseys- Where cute girls turn ugly

[sargennm]

I know this has been pointed out before, but really, what is the deal with the crowd getting all excited about routine fly balls at Wriggly? Does it have to do with the way the acoustics and sightlines are in the ballpark, or is everyone that drunk at 2 o'clock in the afternoon?

[And That]

So it was more of a "hope-and-run"? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

[GormanHarvey]

Sorry to reiterate, but this ump is bad, to quite bad

[Brewer Killa]

Definately going to be a pitchers day from the looks of things. He is calling everything a strike.

 

[Glennron]

There's going to be 2 walks in this game with this zone. You can't expect the Brewers to be patient at all.

[sheetswannabe]

Richie!!

[GormanHarvey]

C'mon Cam - get him in!!
