2011-03-31 Brewers (Gallardo) at Reds (Volquez) [Brewers lose walkoff, 7-6]

Game one. Why the Kotsay hate?

It's getting really annoying.

[GormanHarvey]

I, for one, have not said a single negative thing about Kotsay since he signed. But come on, he looked like he was about 60 out there. He looked that bad

[Mudville9]

Reed? What happened to Morgan?

[endaround]

So Roenkie screwed up the double switch?

[GormanHarvey]

Let's go Saito! I think he is going to be an integral part of the pen, which probably goes without saying. Just happy to have him

[PrinceEatMeat]

Way to waste another bench player for no reason Roenicke. Why not double switch when he brought in Morgan? Dumb mistake.

[EinhornIsFinkle]

For the record the Braun on roids thing is not idiotic or trolling. If a player on a different team suddenly came back with 15 pounds of muscle you would be asking the same questions. I spend a lot of time at the gym and that would be a very very impressive muscle gain in 4 1/2 months. He looks A LOT bigger. I mean he hardly looks like the same guy.

[DHonks]

what a collection of texas leaguers by the Reds today.

 

funny, it reminds me that one years I polled Fall Leaguers and they had to admit that the Texas League has no more texas leaguers than other leagues.

[GormanHarvey]

Already dreading this game ending because no game tomorrow is going to be a downer with all the anticipation and build up today.

[Menotti80]

im dreading this game ending because i am getting a bad feeling about what the end result will be...

[theavrock]

Why did Prince call of Nieves on that?

 

He had a long way to run.

I have a hard time believing high profile stars are stupid enough to do steroids (after what has happened in the past) due to the consequences that would come if they were caught.

 

I think steroids are probably more prevalent in the minors or for people on the cusp of the majors who are desperate to make it.

 

Dont go overboard with the difference in Braun. I would not go as far as saying he hardly looks like the same guy...

[DHonks]

I don't like the Reds middle of the lineup in the 9th...they always seem clutch. Let's get two more runs here to make things safer

[Menotti80]

a few insurance runs would be nice here. but the lead will be at least 3, which will help (when you look at who will bat for the Reds in the 9th)

[GormanHarvey]

Nice work Saito. I really want Kottaras to stay when Lucroy returns, but I must to say I have been impressed today with how Nieves receives the ball

[trwi7]

I don't mind the graphics for the FSN broadcast, but I really don't like the new mlb.com gamecast. I don't watch them for the visuals, but rather for the information (box score, pitchers' line, etc)

 

Look at the top on the right side and hit classic.

[theavrock]

the world hath stopped turning

[GormanHarvey]

Nice walk Carlos!

[Ennder]

I didn't notice that Braun looked bigger even, so I think saying he doesn't look like the same guy is stretching it.

[Schlitz001]

Gomez walks!

[Mudville9]

Nice AB Carlos.

Do you have a link that says he put on 15 lbs of muscle? Because I have one that says he put on 5 lbs on muscle. He hardly looks like the same guy? Your trying really hard to make something of nothing here.

[Robideaux]

A walk for Gomez!! Pigs do fly. The reds TV announcer commented after the walk that Gomez is "a guy who's almost impossible to walk."

[DHonks]

Braun looks similar to me. Weeks looks like a linebacker now, while Yo looks 20 lbs lighter

[SoCalBrewfan]

Is gameday accurate here? It reports that Carlos Gomez did not swing at a two-strike slider low and away, and indeed drew a walk. Somebody please fix my internet?
