2009-04-13 Reds (Volquez) at Brewers (Gallardo) 7:05PM CDT [Brewers Lose 7-6]

[GormanHarvey]

I cannot believe this

[jeffy]

I purposely came on to comment about this. This is one of the worst and longest interviews I think I've ever heard... And it's finally over. That was pretty funny how uncomfortable they all were up there.

Yeah it was funny and it was distracting me from how badly this inning was going...

[adamb100]

Grand Slam.

 

Wow.

[phxMILWfan]

I know it's one week in... I'm not going to overreact... This team better get it figured out quick though. I think Mark A was really counting on walk up sales this year and no one is going to be fighting for tickets to see this garbage.

DFA GALLARDO

[cnycerveceros]

Man it's tough to be a Brewer fan.

[senorjerm]

Et tu Yo?

[Vgmastr]

7 runs on 3 hits. That's beginning to become a trend with Brewer opponents.

[razzzorsharp]

No need for control when you pitch for Milwaukee

[yount19.u]

What the hell is going on with this team?

[phxMILWfan]

Everything would have been different if Yo started opening day instead...

[BrewCrewForever]

Very un-Gallardo. Suppan must have infected him somehow.

[RyDogg66]

holy smoke. I saw that it was 5-1 while I was watching the Mets and Padres (while cursing the Bucks game being on), by the time I got a glass of water and fired up the internet it was 7-5 Reds. Unbelievable.

[giffted1]

I guess I'm glad I can't watch the game now. At this rate we'll have to drop a bench player to add another arm in the pen for mop-up work.

[crewcrazy]

That'll put a dent in the ERA. Not too worried yet...I get the feeling this is going to be one of those 11-9 games we have against the Reds every so often.

[phxMILWfan]

Luckily the reds suck too.

[danzig6767]

That's what happens when a pitcher nibbles around the corners with guys like Taveras and Dickerson which eventually lead to walks and created that disaster. I'd lob the ball down the middle before taking any chance to walk slap hitters.

[Invader3K]

Here I thought this might finally be the game where the Brewers take a lead early and cruise to a nice victory. Silly thought.

[sheethead]

I blame Suppan. He started this nonsense. I don't think the Brewers can average 9 runs a game, therefore I think its going to be a looooooooong season.

[Ennder]

What the hell is going on with this team?

It's April and a lot of pitchers have problems throwing strikes in April.

 

Last year as an example 107 more BBs were issued in the NL in April than in May and the lowest K/BB ratio of any month was April.

[cnycerveceros]

I keep telling myself I'm not going to get discouraged early this season, but they are making it tough!

[pebadger]

Before that Reds half-nning I thought to myself: " I hope this doesn't turn into one of those typical Brewer/Red games" Guess it will. The only good thing is that Billy Hall is in the game and Javier Valentin isn't/

[fondybrewfan]

Why is every pitcher on this team so completely incapable of throwin strikes? Especially with guys on base. This is getting ridiculous. Every single pitcher is trying to pitch to fine right now. Incredibly frustrating

Too bad all those pitchers are playing for the Brewers.

 

I couldn't resist.

[edod]

Did anybody else lose their feed from the game on Timewarner in Milwaukee? I can switch to the Bucks game, but even it is a little sketchy.
