9/25/08 Pirates (Duke) at Brewers (Gallardo): 7:05 PM CDT (Will tonight be a sellout? Come on Brewers Fans! & Yovani Gallardo appreciation thread)

[crewcrazy]

Sac bunts are stupid. Hit-and-runs are stupid. I can't wait to be rid of Sveum.

[jjgott]

Oh boy, that hit and run was poor. C'mon Rick!

[Ennder]

I don't really understand doing a hit and run with Weeks up. Just have Hart steal and if Weeks happens to line out oh well.

[Bernman23]

Hitting and running with possibly the worst contact guy on the team.

[tigerbrew]

That was ugly, real ugly.

[iluvlamp]

sheesh

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

That would have been a sac fly had Sveum not been an idiot.

[giffted1]

Ugh, that fly out should have scored a run.

[crewcrazy]

Thanks for running us out of that inning, Dale.

[Glennron]

When the Brewers strike out as much as they do, hit and run should not be used.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

4 innings, 1 run for Yo. I don't think we could have asked for any more than that. Nice job.

[Mr QL]

Come on, had to score there

 

can't waste this opportunity

[Ennder]

I think I'd have double switched with Durham coming in at 2B here. CV obviously is going more than 1 IP tonight and now he has to hit.

[Bernman23]

I acknowledged it was a mistake by Sveum, but asserting Rickie Weeks would have still produced that deep fly with a runner on third and less than 2 is presuming a lot. Puttsburgh may not have pitched him in an identical fashion and Weeks is a low contact choker. He has 10 sac flies in 1,900 career PA's.

[pitchleague]

nice inning. the more things change . . . .

 

still tied, though, I guess.

 

Good job, Yo!

[Mr QL]

Prince is so fat

[tyguy20204]

Sveum has done nothing to make me think he's any better at managing than Yost. In fact, the argument can be made that he's been worse.

I don't know, I can make an argument that he is better just by the way they have handled the pitching staff so far. Also the whole bunt complaining is going overboard, the majority of them have been just fine though that hit and run was painful.

 

As an example Hall bunting against a righty doesn't bother me one little bit which is the one people complained about last night.

[jjgott]

Gotta give it up to YO! Now the bats have gotta wake up...

[tigerbrew]

Nice catch Braun.

[danzig6767]

I badly want to make the playoffs, but i badly hope that doesn't come with Sveum getting a three year contract as manager.

 

That was beyond moronic to hit and run in that situation. Between Sveum and his buddy Org at third waving in everyone, they both like wasting outs and preventing runs from scoring for us in vital games.

I like Sveum. That said, a turd is better than Yost.

[pebadger]

Maybe I'm seeing things, but I've had bad ribs before and the way Braun was carrying himself on the way in after that catch is, to me, pretty telling evidence that he's hurting quite a bit.

Yeah, at least Ned's questionable bullpen moves weren't a daily occurrence.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Villanueva coming in to bunt.
