2011-05-02 Brewers (Gallardo) at Braves (Jurrjens) - 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-2]

[Raw Biz]

It's about time their defense gives something up. It was a tough play but they already took away about 3 base hits.

[owbc]

How does Betancourt have 25 career triples?

 

Nice hit to bail out the inning though :-)

[theavrock]

I have a hard time believing that was Braun's call. Not sure how we would know, but I would assume that was a run on contact play.

Doesn't really matter. Casey would have been thrown out and Braun would have scored on Hart's single and then scored on Yuni's triple.

[ilovebeer]

Benticount gets us the lead.

[endaround]

The contact play is almost always called by the manager

 

That should have been an error but got to keep McClouth's reputation

[trwi7]

Nice way to start it out Yo. Four pitch walk.

[MoreTrife]

throw strikes come on!

[umphrey]

Uneven outing by Yo but progress nonetheless

 

55 pitches thru 4, although I would pull him in the 6th or 7th regardless of pitch count to preserve the positive outing for confidence

[ilovebeer]

that was a nice inning there for Yo.

[Oxy]

Late to the party, but I love the camera angle. You don't have to guess nearly as much when trying to tell if a pitch caught the corner or not. At first it might look like the pitcher blocks the view but his follow through opens the view up nicely.

[TerraceReserved]

Am I crazy or has Gomez gotten the last out of the inning a trillion times the past couple of days? Im sick of seeing Braun lead off with no runners on.

It sure seems that way. He really needs to be batting 10th (bench) or at worst 7th. Can't wait for Hart to get it cranked back up...

Come on and don't fret, Gomez runs fast and that's required in the two hole.

[Invader3K]

Yeah, Gomez has basically been doing nothing at the plate. If be bats second again tomorrow, I'm going to break something.

[fondybrewfan]

I really hope RR is as sick of watching Gomez at the plate as we are. He is awesome to watch in the field but good gracious. Outside of a 5 game stretch he has been brutal. I really hope Morgan is starting tommorrow.

[endaround]

After Hart's hit today there is a very good chance come the end of the day "rusty" Hart's BA will be higher than "polished" Gomez's BA.

[umphrey]

strike outs have been down and BABIP is low right now at .275. Results haven't been there but he's better than his .233 avg right now. I wouldn't bat him 2nd but he's doing far from 'nothing'

[hawing]

Chiming in a bit late, but remind me again how Nate McLouth won a Gold Glove?

You didn't keep a straight face while typing that did you? .277 OBP and a .587 OPS is about as close to nothing as you can get and still be in the starting lineup let alone the 2 hole.

[endaround]

He hit really well that year

[cnycerveceros]

Oh, man. Here it comes.

[endaround]

No errors there so the defense must be good!

[bucksman4]

Yuni doesn't like to bend his knees on groundballs nor dive.

[DuWayne Steurer]

It seems like Betencourt does ok moving to his left, but to shots in the hole he just has no range. Of course, if Fielder holds onto that popup, that play never happens.

[bucksman4]

For a pitcher with such good "stuff," Yo just isn't a very confident pitcher. He is too cute with his pitches. Frustrating.
