2011-05-07 Brewers (Gallardo) at Cardinals (Lohse) - [Brewers win, 4-0: Yo 8 IP, 1 hit]

Wow. Say what you will about CarGo, but that guy can run.

[Schlitz001]

That is a crazy risk by Gomez going for 2nd, but it worked and Gomez is now throwing together a nice game.

[COBrewerfan]

I find it impossible to hate Gomez. He plays with heart and desire. I will take gold glove defense and his effort on my team anyday. I will take that over above average offense and awful D. You really need to hit if you cannot defend.

[DocBrewPack]

Now why isnt Gomez in the 2 spot

[Gobias Industries]

I've said it a lot, but my enjoyment of Gomez's game goes up by about 1000% when he's hitting 8th.

I think most of my hate for the guy came from the fact he was always in the two hole, and either couldn't get on or made outs on the bases in front of Prince and Braun.

 

 

EDIT: 2nd the above post about Gomez in the 8th spot.

[Gobias Industries]

I've really never seen Pujols hit the ball so weak. Consistently. Maybe the contract year thing is wearing on him? Hope so.

[chickinbrickin]

Maybe we can return the favor with a CG shutout. **Knocking on everything that is made of wood I can find***

[thablingster]

Cory just jinxed Yo.

[COBrewerfan]

I am not sure Counsell in the 2 hole is any better than Gomez by the way. I am all for having Morgan in there.

[GB12]

I don't think many really hate Gomez. It is Gomez hitting second that people hate. I can live with a crappy hitting center fielder who plays good defense hitting 8th. A crappy hitting centerfielder batting 2nd, not so much.

I wasn't going to watch or pay attention to the game today, but when I checked to see what time we were playing so I could know when to check and see the score, I noticed we were....winning and figured I should tune in to watch...the offense.

[topper09er]

Too close to take boooo

[Schlitz001]

Even the unlikely Kotsay is coming through with the glove today.

[Gobias Industries]

The statue runs one down!!!

 

Yo's gotta pitch a no hitter after that one.

[Oxy]

I had no confidence that Kotsay was going to catch that. Good thing he plays on the warning track.

It will have to be an Edwin Jackson-esque 500 pitch game, methinks.

[valpocrewsader]

You might have been able to slide a Journal-Sentinel under Kotsay's feet on that jump ... but not a Sunday edition.

[crewcrazy]

Starting to smell like cheese sandwiches.

[topper09er]

SHUT UP CRAIG

[Hammer]

If Lohse would have bunted for a hit there Yo needed to drill the next three hitters in the face. Unwritten rules are rules.

[dlk9s]

So glad that 0-2 to Rasmus was called a ball. Nothing like extending the inning via poor umping.

[owbc]

Too many pitches to make it all the way. Gallardo needs to be pulled after 110-115 regardless of the situation.

[dlk9s]

DFA Pujols.

[umphrey]

Lots of positives from this game, but, still waiting on some offensive production
