Geez Gomez. You have to be smart enough to stop there and not let him tag you.

He stumbled when he went to run on the pitch. Didn't have a choice.

 

EDIT: Didn't stumble but bluffed the steal

if ignorance is bliss, then GoGo has the be the happiest man alive.

I would debate that Gomez was in nowhere land. He had a chance to get around Ugla and beat out that double play. So I would say that was not a case where he should have stopped. However he should have got on his horse and tried to get around that.

That has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. He had to stop before Uggla got the ball and have Uggla make the decision to either throw to 2nd (which would've made Counsell safe at 1st) or throw to 1st giving Gomez a chance to get to 2nd. Instead he just ran right to Uggla and let him tag him.

I like this outfield defense a lot. Good call Rsquared. Gallardo looks great.

[Baldkin]

Man, we should let this Yovani Gallardo guy start more often. He's pretty good at the throwing thing.

[RobDeer 45]

But I guess either way even if he gets to 2nd safe they still get the out at first so I guess either way he should have stopped. Just think he was there before he could even think about stopping. Like I said, his speed killed him.

[GormanHarvey]

I knew exactly what you were talking about.

[ninja33]

yea, even though there was some questionable baserunning, i like the gomez pinch run/play in center field sub.

 

please let gallardo hit this inning.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Hell, I'd give Yo every opportunity to finish this game. If he's under 100 before the 9th, I'd trot him out there.

[GormanHarvey]

Tough luck Yo. That was a rocket

[RobDeer 45]

This is the type of pitching performance I think we can plan on seeing a fair amount from at least our top 3 but maybe even Narv dog too! I really think they will take the team on their shoulders a lot this year. I hope I'm right because it would be fun to watch!

[trwi7]

I certainly hope there's somebody warming up in the bullpen.

[brewers19]

First pitch double play, please.

 

EDIT: Terrible baserunning works too.

[trwi7]

Uggla should've used his gigantic biceps to hold on to 2nd base.

[TheCrew07]

what happened to Heyward? My Gameday skipped right over him? Maybe I'll reload it.

 

edit. Ahh I see now... pop out and a caught stealing.

[Mudville9]

We'll take it. Looks like a rocket to the firstbase side in the boxscore.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[GormanHarvey]

Thank you Uggla. Kottaras's release/arm is pathetic

[brewers19]

Heyward popped out to third.

[Schlitz001]

Uggla out stealing on a terrible throw and earlier Counsell was safe stealing when the throw beat him by a mile. SBs are funny.

[trwi7]

what happened to Heyward? My Gameday skipped right over him? Maybe I'll reload it.

 

Popped a ball up about 1,000 feet in the air and about 45 feet from home plate.

[Oldcity]

Uggla running and Kottaras throwing is like beer league softball.

[Tailgat0r76]

For those of us that aren't lucky enough to have the fantastic WMLW feed; can someone let us know when/if Axford's warming/coming in?

[Oxy]

98 pitches for Yo. Do you let him out there?

Under normal circumstances this early in the season, no. When you are 0-4, need a win desperately and have a shaky bullpen, yes. He gives you the best option to win the game.

[afeter]

for those concerned; Ballup is up by 22 at half. "springs" and "the air up there" are dunking mad.
