2011-04-22 Astros at Brewers - [Brewers win, 14-7; pre- and post-game audio at tail end of thread]

[Brewer Fever]

So how long until we hear of a Gallardo injury? He just doesn't seem to be firing on all cylinders.

[chickinbrickin]

bad start to the inning here

 

Hall should have been rung up. The ump isn't calling many strikes tonight.

[stoutdude04]

Both pitchers getting squeezed a bit.

[jason21nl]

I can't remember the last time I have watched Yo pitch well. Every time I get to watch him on TV he gets hit around or doesn't have his good stuff

[hawing]

Bill Hall watched his hit. I'm not fully surprised by that.

His velocity's been fine. His problem has been hitting his spots at the right time...he certainly looked to be firing on all cylinders the first two innings, no?

[chickinbrickin]

It seems like Yo isn't there mentally this year. Every start he starts off cruising and then one bad thing happens, ie. bad ball call on Hall, Hall crushes one, and then the wheels fall off. Yo is one of my favorite Brewers, but he seems to get rattled easily of late. Anyone else notice this.

[jason21nl]

now that was one hell of a bunt

[razzzorsharp]

Yo got squeezed, hit a batter, and then gave up a hit. Not too bad.

 

Gomez with a bunt hit!

[ELCABALLO45]

Gomez 2-2! And look another standing O for Braun

[razzzorsharp]

I wouldn't mind trying out the catcher at some point to see how his forearm feels.

[dlk9s]

Anyone else notice this.

No.

[jason21nl]

BRAUNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WHAT A MISSILE

[razzzorsharp]

That ball seemed like it might be a gapper off the bat. Crazy.

[hurricanecrush]

That was a laser beam! I didn't think it was high enough to get out.

[dlk9s]

Phew. I was about ready to call for a DFA Braun after the DP in the first.

[DocLuna7]

Ryan Braun= King of Milwaukee right now. Flair for the dramatic and loving it.

[Mr QL]

Looks like it was a good investment

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I love Ryan Braun as much as he loves doing curtain calls no one is asking for.

[razzzorsharp]

I was asking for it.

[crewcrazy]

Can't remember the last time I heard a Miller Park crowd explode like they did when the ball left Braun's bat there. Probably his HR against the Cubs in 2008.

 

Very cool moment.

[ELCABALLO45]

Ryan Braun you are un real.

[razzzorsharp]

Not as much thunder that time for Kotsay.

[chickinbrickin]

Anyone else notice this.

No.

Have you seen his last 3 starts? How do you explain his last start in Washington? Perfect through 3, gives up a hit and then gets shelled from then on. I know he isn't going to doninate every night, but he has been kind of a head case this season IMO.

 

 

[bucksman4]

What a dumb contract extension. Why lock him up now?

 

I think those people saying that in Braun's signing thread are church mice right now...
