4/10/07 Brewers (Vargas) @ Marlins (Vanden Hurk): 6:05 PM CT

[Tisko]

according to gameday Vargas is throwing everything right down the middle of the plate. Is gameday accurate with location?

[Foofty]

ganna be a 4 hour game.... in 9 innings

[adambr2]

And the Marlins hitter doesn't try to do too much and pokes a 2 out single into right-center. Take notes, Crew.

[brewcrew00]

He's pretty accurate so far, just struggling to put guys away, frustrating.

[jloos19]

This is absolute garbage. Our approach tonight really stinks.

[TauPentaRei]

can that storm roll into Miami right about now?

[adamb100]

The new pitcher effect is happening.

[sauveb]

The at bats by this team are absolutely pathetic.

[JET15]

You gotta hand it to the kid, those are some nice pitches

[bucksman4]

After watching these guys through the first 2 innings vs. this first time in the bigs pitcher, all I can think of is 3 words:

 

Same ol' Brewers.

[yfinn6]

Before this game started you knew one of two things were going to happen.

 

1 - he was going to get absolutely shelled, I'm talking only lasting a few innings OR

 

2- he was going to completely shut us down. So far it looks like number 2, at least in that inning. That was terrible. Talk about domination.

 

Only positive is that it's still early and I doubt this guy throws much more than 5 innings.

[mikerollins]

Well.....if you look closely at the back of that Jersey....the words Vanden Hurk are slowly changing to Cy Young.

 

Sigh.

[moofnelson]

Sheesh, thanks for showing up guys. I think my prediction on this guy is going to come to fruition.

[brewcrew00]

Marlins tv said he has no real restrictions tonight, they'll use him as long as he can go

[B2k1121]

Who would have guessed an A class pitcher would dominate the Brewers?

 

The guy is throwing fast balls right down the middle and all they can do is foul it off until he gets 2 strikes and then throws the curve.

I wasn't really referring to restrictions or pitch counts, I just don't know how long a guy making his major league debut can last. Especially when he's had major surgery and never pitched above A ball.

[tyguy20204]

Vargas sure does seem to have a straight fastball.

[TauPentaRei]

that was refreshing... Brewers law states a pitcher with zero previous MLB at-bats drives that run in...

 

the tables have turned

 

Vandenhausenbaum's sister is nordic hot.

[bacon06]

Vargas has a better approach at the plate than the rest of the line up.

[TauPentaRei]

I hate .300 hitters who work the count, draw walks and use heady base-running leading off my line-up

[jloos19]

Craig Counsell has quickly gone from my LFB (least favorite Brewer) to someone I really don't mind in the lineup.

[aracko]

Those need to start dropping in for JJ.

[bacon06]

Was Counsell running in quicksand? I actually was laughing watching him running home.

[adamb100]

CC didnt get anywhere near home.

[jloos19]

Yup, good idea sending home there.... Goodness, could this team screw up any more lately? Also unlucky that the fence is high in left, cause that ball is out in Miller Park.
