2010-04-05 Rockies (Jimenez) at Brewers (Gallardo), 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-3]

[Rhett16]

I am fairly sure I am thoroughly unimpressed with Jim Edmonds so far. I also don't understand Gallardo being out there right now. It's not as if our bullpen is overworked right now and we need our starter to eat some innings for us.

[SeriesFinale]

Three ABs isn't giving me much to be impressed or unimpressed by on the whole.

 

Seth Smith is having a much worse day at the plate than any Brewer.

[Gobias Industries]

Wow, Prince usually really struggles with that pick. Nice one big fella.

[Rhett16]

It's not Edmond's at-bats I'm all that concerned about. He bobbled a ball in right field, and then made a pretty bad base running error. A guy with 95 years in the league shouldn't be making that kind of mistake. Just my opinion.

GoGo Gone!

CARLOS GOMEZ!!!!

[bjkrautk]

Carlos Gomez is on pace for 162 Home Runs.

 

(I've been waiting all day to say that; never expected he would be the guy I used that bit with.)

[cheesecup22]

nice shot Gomez! lets go prince!

[hawing]

J.J. did not leave us in vain. (I hope.)

Now, bring it, Prince.

[sauveb]

I'm not sure that an opening day home run by Gomez is good for us in the big picture.

Agreed. Its not that I am upset over 3 AB's. The last few years of work havent shown Edmonds to be a very good player. So the fact that we are judging him on one spring training is what makes me a little nervous. That coupled with the fact that I hav never liked him make this game start to confirm my fears.

Ryan Braun bunting.... and discuss.

[razzzorsharp]

I thought it was going to be a Harthating year but alas, it looks like the fans will just hate our right fielders.

[madjeff66]

Like the play by Braun there, down 2, bases empty, 3B on the back of the dirt, power hitter next. Bunt is a very smart play there.

[trwi7]

Macha is terrible. Why would you not send Hart up to bat against the lefty? Even against a righty, I'd prefer Hart rather than Edmonds against a lefty.

[sheethead]

Especially since the Rockies didn't have anyone warming up.

It's too early to "burn" your only RH bat. /blue

Oh, I only dislike one of them.

OT: Jason Heyward just hit a three run homer in his first career at bat off of Carlos Zambrano. The Braves have also hung a six spot in the first on Zambrano and there's only one out. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Rhett16]

On a side note, Zambrano is pitching wonderfully for the Cubs.

I was just about to post this. It really brought a smile to my face to know that big Z is getting lit up.

Now that's a silver lining.

[SeriesFinale]

Well, that was anti-climactic...hopefully we can hold it down and scratch a few more out

 

Daley looked tough on Gameday at least

[olliegjw]

15 baserunners in 7 innings, and only 2 runs. Somebody needs to get a clutch hit.
