2010-04-26 Pirates (Duke) at Brewers (Gallardo), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 17-3]

[GormanHarvey]

According to Bill Schroeder, Prince just got hit by a pitch in the "tricept"

[sargennm]

McGehee may not be long for 3B if Fielder is moved. So Braun or McGehee to 1B?

Does McGehee hit for enough power to make that a reasonable move. Or does it depend on how well Gamel/Green/Other hits at 3B?

[ilovebeer]

zaun with 2 hits in one game,wow

[badgerfletch]

Yo should never walk a pitcher, period. Lack of foccus, again.

Nothing frustrates me more, nothing. Walking the pitcher is unforgivable. It just should not happen.

[endaround]

Compared to internal options McGehee is basically right in line if his numbers don't collapse (which they may). but if they collapse his bad defense doesn't make him good at 3B either. Its really who can play 3B best.

Does everyone just have leftover Jason kendall material from the last couple of seasons and they have to use it up on Zaun before it expires? He's not a bad hitter.

[GB12]

I think we've learned to not expect anything out of our catchers.

When Lucroy comes up, I expect him to hit.

Yeah, our long citywide backstop nightmare should be over. Zaun not a bad placeholder until he's ready.

[BrewCrewForever]

I feel "Yakety Sax" should be playing at all times while watching Gregg Zaun play baseball.

Rickie does strike out a lot..... Concerns?

No

[GB12]

They need to somehow put a limit on how many times Brian and Bill can talk about the no hitter.

[dlk9s]

Rickie does strike out a lot..... Concerns?

Nah. Without looking at his pitch selection stats, it doesn't look like he strikes out because he flails at crap. He appears a bit vulnerable to a good outside or low breaking ball, but then again, many players are. The last pitch he struck out on was just pure gas - sometimes the pitcher just makes a good pitch. Edited April 26, 2010 by dlk9s

Just like the curveball he struck out Gomez on

[ilovebeer]

is that it for Yo tonight, if so he pitched well.

[sargennm]

Zaun officially over .200.

[Buckylovesbeer]

I think it was a pretty good outing for Yo. 6 strong is not that bad. Nice to see him get to pitch with a lead, I think that helps any starter for sure.

 

3 for 3 for Zaun. Hopefully he gets hot after a good nite tonight

I'm in section 108 jamming to Inglett's batting music. It appears to be Parra time at Miller Park.

[rluzinski]

And Parra continues to get garbage time.

[ilovebeer]

doesn't look like a big crowd tonight

[BrewCrewForever]

Yo pitched pretty good. But once again over 100 pitches and only through 6. Getting through 6 is good, but I would like to see him go 7+ at some point.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Parra has been scary good so far. I like it
