Rickie Weeks error, should have been a DP, the inning blows up, Gallardo's pitch count blows up -- thank you Rickie.

 

Yo really has to stop fussing with umpire's calls -- this is the second time this spring.

[Kevbo74]

oh my! I hope this inning ends soon. It sounds like Lucroy is handling the balls well, and it sounds like they're being sprayed at him in all directions. I was so close to attending this game (haven't missed a Gallardo start until today), but I think I can live without this.

 

Macha just took Gallardo out. 2/3 innings. I'll for sure be there for the next start.

[brewmann04]

well maybe that why Lawrie decided ton play 2nd base cause weeks is a horrible fielder,maybe he should move to the OF

[BrewCrewForever]

Gallardo isn't hurt is he? I was shocked to see he gave up 7 runs in 2/3 of an inning.

[lbb020]

Maybe he's already into the dead arm stage....then again, maybe he just got lit up, which wouldn't be his first blow up start...2007 @ colorado and 2007 @ san fran

It'd be interesting if gameday was showing pitch locations. Rock made it sound like he was being squeezed.

[hawing]

Woo-hoo, Brad Nelson ends the shutout bid!

[BrewCrewForever]

Nelson a 2-4 day with a HR. He has to make the club, I know its just spring but he has looked very good and deserves to be a bench guy on this club.

[Invader3K]

Nelson batting over .500 so far this spring.
