YO!

[stalton]

Yo's the man

[ilovebeer]

Yo. gets into the act

[chickinbrickin]

I hope Rickie gets beaned and then charges the mound and owns McDonald.

[razzzorsharp]

I will say that Gallardo is our best PH option off the bench.

[wisconsinfan47]

Thank you for not attempting to bunt!

[PrinceEatMeat]

Looked like Roenicke was telling Fielder who to attack if Rickie gets beaned.

[chickinbrickin]

Yes! Based loaded for Gomez......Oh Wait.

[jason21nl]

time to see if Gomez can adjust or how bad he over swings

[derflotr]

McDonald reminds me of a right-handed Manny Parra. Good, hard fastball but dead straight. No consistent off-speed stuff

[dlk9s]

Can someone describe what this Weeks/Cedeno incident was for those of us without the benefit of moving pictures?

[stalton]

umm at least it wasn't a DP?

[jason21nl]

Gomez is still terrible

[dlk9s]

Seems like the only viable option for Gomez would have been to surprise them with a bunt towards third. I had no confidence that he would do anything productive while swinging.

[Raw Biz]

Will this finally make Roenicke realize that Gomez needs to be at the bottom of the order. It's now time for Lucroy or Hart to take over the 2 spot (preferably Lucroy).

[PrinceEatMeat]

It still baffles me that Roenicke has Gomez continually in the 2 spot when the only time he has done well is when he hit lower in the order. At least put Lucroy there. Even Kotsay did better.

[cnycerveceros]

Braun's at bat feels important. Need a hit.

 

Edit: Thanks!

Weeks basically stopped running and Cedeno ran into him. This upset Cedeno since Weeks may have braced for the impact a bit with his shoulder.

[jason21nl]

Way to come through Braun! That was a bullet!

[PrinceEatMeat]

At least we had Braun to make up for Gomez sucking there.

[ilovebeer]

Braunnie!!!!!!!!

Rickie was in a run down. Tried to spin away from the tag, and spun into Cedeno. Cedeno thought he should have just given up and let him apply the tag. Too rough for him I guess.

[dlk9s]

When it's time for Yo to stop pitching tonight, RR should put him in RF, take Gomez out, and move Corey to CF to keep Yo's bat in the game.

[derflotr]

I don't think I've ever seen these guys swing through so many straight fastballs over the plate...oh well, great job by Braun there to get a couple across.

Things would have been fine, but Cedeno apparently said something as Weeks was starting to walk back to the dugout. Weeks turned around and said something like "come on, man" like Cedeno said something stupid, they start arguing (but nothing too confrontational), and then the benches cleared.
