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

I don't see anyway Roenicke doesn't bring him out for the 9th if he's "only" at like 120 and still has it going.

The key being, if he has it going. He seems to be missing on a lot of pitches in the last 2 innings.

What the hell is Weeks thinking? He's still a really dumb baseball player.

[valpocrewsader]

I've seen enough small ball epic fail in one month to last me the rest of my life. Please, no mas.

Guaranteed that was called by RRR. Takes off on the 1st pitch. No way is that Weeks' call.

 

[valpocrewsader]

It would be classic Brewers/small-market luck to have a very special pitching performance trumped in the national media by an even rarer, more special pitching performance on the same day.

Braun's BA dropped about 60 percentage points in the last week. He's scuffling and so is Prince.

SHUT UP CRAIG

Thats what happens when you can't work the count and swing at the first pitch. They have looked absolutely lost.

wow....if that's the case that's indefensible. Counsell hits Lohse really well and Molina is an absolute beast defensively.

Both guys were absolutely locked in though before this losing streak happened. I'm wondering if teams are pitching them differently.

I know the other day they were pitching them both inside.

 

[theavrock]

It would go along with all of the "aggressive" base running we have seen out of him.

[adamb100]

snap, there it goes.

[Glennron]

If no one is up in the bullpen now...

[trwi7]

Okay, time to take him out.

[Schlitz001]

Nice job by Gallardo. Let's get someone warmed up in the bullpen.

[valpocrewsader]

Betancourt gets that. :p

[topper09er]

All Coshan's fault

[owbc]

Ok nice game, now take him out and get the win.

[bucksman4]

Give Counsell credit...Yuni wouldn't have even dove for that ball.

[bucksman4]

It would be very befitting to lose 2-1.

[umphrey]

I am for sure not feeling Kameron Loe here. Axford sounds good in the 9th but I don't know about Loe.

They were locked in but their approaches at the plate lately have been garbage. That will take you from locked to whatever it is they are getting now.

The Cards announcers with some remarks about how you could see Verlander throwing a no-no but not Gallardo.

[trwi7]

LaRussa is epically dumb.

I don't believe it. They're too classy to say things like that.

Worst managing and worst execution ever to bunt in that situation. Just baffling.
