Two administrators from my workplace bought our tickets for tonight. Braden: don't make me look bad!

[trwi7]

GAMEL BOMB!!!!!!

[southpaw121505]

BAT GAMEL!

[sauveb]

Does anyone else hold their breath every time Gamel throws the ball?

[LaprilOne]

Ryan, nice plate coverage.

 

Wow, small crowd (school night?)

[derflotr]

You knew the home plate ump couldn't help screwing over Mike Cameron tonight. The nerve...

[Invader3K]

Does anyone else hold their breath every time Gamel throws the ball?

 

Yeah, I find it heightens the sensation.

[LaprilOne]

Yeah, I find it heightens the sensation.

 

Ouch, on the edge! Yet subtle.

[hawing]

Does anyone else hold their breath every time Gamel throws the ball?

Not like I used to in Rickie's early days. Maybe I'm just accustomed to the ambiguity by now.

[fondybrewfan]

So this game is suppose to be in HD tonight huh?

 

Screw you Dish Network, this is at least the 5th or 6th time that they haven't carried the HD signal

[sargennm]

Uh oh, this has that Yost-era circling the drain in the late innings kinda feel of a game.

[jeffy]

what's the advantage of Coffey over Defelice here?

[benji]

Difelice is not good against lefties.

[Ennder]

Difelice is not good against lefties.

Neither is Coffey.

[benji]

I guess I dont understand why stetter was not used for the pinch hitter smith unless the rockies were ready to pinch hit with a righty.

[Patrick425]

I really wish BA would stop referring to Carlos Gonzalez as speedy. I believe he was more known for his power in the minors. He stole 6 bases in 190+ ABs. Not bad, but not the stat of someone you would continue to refer to as being speedy every time he's on base.

[YoGasKpose]

A hopeful equation: First post, rally post + rally beverage=Brewers' come-from-behind win.

[jeffy]

Difelice is not good against lefties.

Neither is Coffey.

 

After a quick look at their stats, it appears that DiFelice has better numbers against lefties than Coffey does.

[derflotr]

I'm guessing Macha wanted to keep away from the fly ball as much as possible...Coffey's got the sinker, I suppose. It's time for Corey Hart to start doing something. He's been useless for a while now.

[jeffy]

I guess I dont understand why stetter was not used for the pinch hitter smith unless the rockies were ready to pinch hit with a righty.

That was probably it, that Macha was afraid he'd be stuck with Stetter facing a right hander.

[jeffy]

I'm guessing Macha wanted to keep away from the fly ball as much as possible...Coffey's got the sinker, I suppose.

 

But then why not Coffey from the start, why DiFelice. It just seemed like an odd move to burn two right handers there. Not a big deal, just weird.

[markedman5]

Stetters numbers are pretty darn good against righties too.........I would have at least put the decision on Tracy.
