2011-04-10 Cubs (Coleman) at Brewers (Gallardo) - 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-5]

[COBrewerfan]

There goes Gomez again with his first pitch outs.

Are those worse than 5,6, or 7 pitch outs like Rickie's?

 

Yes, because one pitch outs keep the pitcher's pitch count low (say that five times fast).

 

That said, I don't mind if someone swings at a first pitch if it's a good one at which to swing. I mean, why let a meaty fastball down the middle go by and put yourself in %%$+@*? I don't remember what kind of pitch Gomez swung at, though.

I am not worried about getting Casey Coleman out of the game so pitch count is not a concern right now.

Let's go meat tray

[dlk9s]

Get luckier, Barney.

[MVP2110]

Man I love that speed in Center

[endaround]

Mitre wasn't DS'd in? This is the easy part of managing.

[GormanHarvey]

Good inning meat. I will say this about Yuni...he has a nice arm

[GormanHarvey]

Is Jeremy Reed even serious?

[jason21nl]

That was an ugly at bat by Reed

[GamelToe]

You guys give Kotsay a lot of grief... but Reed looks just awful.

[brains and braun]

Is Brooks Kieschnick still around?

[bucksman4]

I think Reed's days with the team are numbered. He's the guy to go when Hart is activated.

[MVP2110]

I hope when Lucroy comes back Reed gets sent down

[derflotr]

Still have no idea why Jeremy Reed is on the team.

[dlk9s]

Reed makes Brad Nelson look like a starter.

[bucksman4]

I hope when Lucroy comes back Reed gets sent down

It should be one of the catchers to go when Lucroy returns...

[endaround]

Did Ramierez insult Bill's son or something? He's been on him all series.

[MVP2110]

Seriously we have Almonte Morgan & Mcgehee sitting on the bench and we use reed? The chances of us using all 4 are slim so why would you use your worst?

[davemakovec]

Jeremy Reed really looked bad.

 

How about Marlon Byrd? He's a marginally-talented hitter that always kills the Brewers. I hate those guys.

[MVP2110]

I hope when Lucroy comes back Reed gets sent down

It should be one of the catchers to go when Lucroy returns...

Why when Kottaras' bat is better than Reeds and you can keep Nieves for the defense. Both bring more value than Reed

[endaround]

I hope when Lucroy comes back Reed gets sent down

It should be one of the catchers to go when Lucroy returns...

Why? At least the catchers have a purpose if Roenike will PH for them late. Reed is behind Kotsay, Morgan and Almonte.

[GormanHarvey]

Am I imagining things, or did Pena used to be much bigger? Ouch Stetter

[derflotr]

Should've just IBB'd Pena and left in Green to face Soto.

[bylo tesi me]

Mitre wasn't DS'd in? This is the easy part of managing.

Yea, this is hard to figure, instead of using your long reliever for a couple innings Roenicke is burning through his Bullpen in a tie game.

[trwi7]

I wasn't off at all when I said Reed can be our new Brad Nelson.

[dlk9s]

DP is back in order!
