2010-05-28 Mets (Santana) at Brewers (Gallardo), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 2-0]

Macha seems to flip coins when he makes his calls.... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

This team has got to score when they get a lead-off double. They have not done so several times this year and that sucks.

Normally I would have been yelling at the TV, but Santana is pitching.

[valpocrewsader]

Ugh, Rickie. You and your terrible, terrible glove.

[crewcrazy]

Kottaras is a left-handed batter, with a lefty on the mound. Lucroy is a right-handed hitter, right? Seems like a rough match up for Kottaras, but what do I know.

Surprisingly, lefties are hitting Johan better than righties this year: .254/.294/.429 for LHP as opposed to .239/.289/.341. Not sure Macha would trust Lucroy against Santana regardless of the splits, though.

[valpocrewsader]

Gotta love seeing the pitcher run hard on a sac bunt ... I'm not even angry Santana made us pay there.

[Gobias Industries]

That should of been an error on Casey. One of your teammates would call it if the runner from third takes off.

 

Luckily, we get out of it.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Its good to see a sac bunt actually put in fair territory......the crew has failed several times in a row!

Better in all of the categories you listed, very surprising. Well, maybe I worked some reverse-psychology magic.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm not sure the coaching staff would relish sending a rookie with only a few MLB AB's out there against Santana.

If the Brewers can come out on top of a Mike Burns-Johan Santana matchup (as happened last year), I think anything might be possible.

[Gobias Industries]

What the what!

 

I'll be the first to admit Weeks' game has a lot of holes, but seriously? You're gonna get on him for missing a diving play up the middle, or not being able to run down a fliner?

[jason21nl]

very tired of the bunting

[PrinceEatMeat]

Gallardo keeping the pitch count down tonight. 61 thru 5, I'm loving it.

[Buckylovesbeer]

The topic (I agree) or the execution of it by this team?

 

Yo is giving this team a nice chance to win tonight

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

When's the last time we've been ahead on pitch count?

[cadillacjosh]

This is a fantastic baseball game. Man very few bad plays. Nice catch from Bay right there. I love watching the Brewers play baseball like this. Even if we lose tonights game, its refreshing to see a pitching dual in Milwaukee again.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Haha, Yo almost gets thrown out on the base hit to right.

[hawing]

When's the last time we've been ahead on pitch count?

I thought about saying, "when Sabathia wore Brewer blue," but if you mean a better pitch count than the opposing starter, I think it has happened at times since 2008.

 

Feel free to come chat about it.

[jason21nl]

I think Yo was out at first. That would have been kinda funny.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Pitch counts after 5. Yo = 61, Santana = 75. Advantage Brewers.

[BrewCrewForever]

Yo very efficient tonight, I love it.

[Gobias Industries]

Santana has thrown Weeks 2 mistakes in pitcher counts in both of his SO ab's, and he takes both of them. Dude's got fake plate patience.

The day after he took a full count pitch that was easily close enough to swing at for a walk-off walk? sheesh...

[BrewCrewForever]

Gobias, I got to know. What is that from in your avatar?

[BrewCrewForever]

Please, lets get Yovani some runs.
