2009-04-24 Brewers (Gallardo) at Astros (Paulino): 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-2]

[ELCABALLO45]

Hmmm i had no idea Mike Hampton was healthy and pitching--much less for the astros. Did the braves finally just give up and release him or was there a trade?

Signed a FA deal with Houston.

[GormanHarvey]

Let's go YO-YO! Finish this baby up! Been getting the pen some real nice rest the last few days. Speaking of the pen, any word on if Hoffman has thrown yet tonight?

[bucks2281]

So, this is potentially Yo's first career CG? *knocks on wood*

Pitching right now, given up 2 hits and a run as we speak.

[ELCABALLO45]

What a great outing by YO!!

 

Congrats on your first career game Yo, many more to follow.

[Sheets4theHOF]

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Have fun with the family tonight Yo!!!

[razzzorsharp]

Better outing: Bush or Yo?

[iluvlamp]

Carlos getting the HR is typical. xBrewers..sigh. Awesome performance from YoGa.

yeah, that was great to see!

Better outing: Bush or Yo?

Yo. Bush had a few walks and hit and batter or two. He had a pretty high pitch count as well.

Bush, but you can't complain about Yo's, either.

[AJAY]

Is it just me or do all of Yovani Gallardo's relatives look the same?

 

YO

 

BREWERS WIN !!

[Gobias Industries]

Better outing: Bush or Yo?

Yo. A lot more dominant, and less baserunners.

[sheethead]

I still hate Dish, but even the Brewers made SD look awesome tonight. Keep it rolling, pitching looking great. Nothing better than baseball... sky is falling one week, everything coming up roses the next.

Better outing: Bush or Yo?

Yo. Bush had a few walks and hit and batter or two. He had a pretty high pitch count as well.

Bush's gamescore for the game yesterday was 72. Yo's should be somewhere around 76 fwiw.

I still contend that Corey Hart speaks some rare kentuckian dialect of english that I cannot comprehend

What is this, I have never heard of it?

[GormanHarvey]

Hey thanks for the Hoffman update ELCABALLO! I would have to say Yo's pitching performance was a bit better but they were both great and I would take either any day! Just an FYI, my buddy that is a cubs fan (i know, i know - he is from IL) just text me and said that Aramis strained his calf tonight and that Marmol also got injured while pitching tonight.

 

Good for you Coop! Good to hear him say that even if it doesn't even need to be discussed!

[Invader3K]

FWIW, Cooper sounds pretty angry in the post game comments. "I'm pretty frustrated right now." Wouldn't want to be in his locker room.

Its a formula created by Bill James to figure out how good a pitcher (or batter) did during the game.

 

Basically you get so many points for innings and strikeouts and get negative points for giving up runs and walks.

Bush had a .291 WPA in his game and Gallardo had a .273 WPA in his game.

[BrewCrewForever]

That was such a fun game to watch. Gallardo's fantastic performance, the 2 out rally and Rickie's bomb. Just awesome.

Yep, probably my favorite of the year next to seeing Yo go yard live here in SF (yesterday's was just too tense, and I always get too worked up with Cubs' games).

 

And this also really adds nothing, but I gotta say it: I'd promised my wife that we'd exercise together after work, but the game was in full flush (right after the 2 out rally), so when we went into the living room to do some yoga together for about an hour or so, I positioned myself so I'd be able to catch glances of the game itself playing on mute in the other room.

 

So yeah: I did yoga while watching YoGa.

 

Kinda hard to have disciplined meditative repose when you keep wanting to pump your fist.

[fuzzmeister]

Great game today. Got some clutch hitting, and YO pitched great. Hope Suppans last outing wasn't a fluke. Lets make it 4 in a row!
