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)

Would the person that kidnapped Ryan Braun, and replaced him this crappy imposter, please give him back?

[pebadger]

It looks to me like Braun simply can't torque right now. He ususlly coils himself up pretty good, but it looks like everything is arms right now. It obviously hurts his power, but he's changed his swing so much that his timing is just gone too.

[iluvlamp]

I have a radical idea. Swing at pitches that are strikes right over the plate. Maybe that's hard. I am not a MLB player. BUT. Those are usually the best pitches to hit JJ!!!

[southpaw121505]

When did Corey Hart get so bad at baseball?

 

PS I love Yovanni

[danzig6767]

I keep thinking it's going to be today that Braun heats up, but then every game it's all weakly hit grounders, shallow fly balls, or strikeouts. Never thought i'd see him slump this bad for so long, unless the injury is the cause.

[futurefan]

I agree that we should not be employing small ball now while everyone is hitting so well. A Braun bunt would have scored the go ahead run. The GIDP was just another rally killer.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Please let this be good Eric. I want to hear about a standing O after a 1-2-3 inning!

[Brewcrewin07]

And....Bob Howry just gave up the tying run in NY. I bet Lou doesn't use him at all in the Brewers series.

[dlk9s]

Lets not Mets this one up with the big boys coming up.

It's big boy time!

Eh, we probably wouldn't hit him anyways.

[iluvlamp]

Gagne...It's a love/hate with you but you are awesome.

Bad thing is that inning was 2 outs nobody on base and the Mets string together 4 straight hits and somehow the Cubs catchers whiffs tagging Church who should have been out by 3-4 feet.

"A Braun bunt would have scored the go ahead run. The GIDP was just another rally killer."

 

We have no idea how Duke would have pitched to Fielder with a runner in scoring position and an open base. Heck, I might not have minded if Braun had tried to bunt for a hit/sacrifice in that situation. My stance isn't that the Brewers should never bunt.

[iluvlamp]

Jesus. ER is STILL on?

 

GO CREW!

[iluvlamp]

Holy very fat chick wearing skin tight Brewers gear...

 

Kendall gets a hit. woot

[pebadger]

This entire night is balancing on a knife's edge. Two pitches a thousand miles apart can change the entire weekened outlook. Can't keep wasting opportunities.

[Glennron]

Please bring in Shouse for when McLouth/LaRoche come up.

I know. I am vurping a little bit.

[Bernman23]

Another great move by Sveum. Just because Dillon is proven, doesn't mean that's a positive. He's proven to be a career minor leaguer.

[hurricanecrush]

Let's go Mets!

[markedman5]

our offense is just brutal to watch

[crewcrazy]

Hopefully 8th Inning Guy can get through this inning with the score still tied.

[iluvlamp]

It comes down to Mota Vs Mets.

[jhart05]

That sucks for Mota.

 

He had that guy struck out.

 

Bad call by the ump.

[iluvlamp]

Shouse for the win. Season hangs on Mr. Shouse.
