2011-07-30 Astros (Happ) at Brewers (Gallardo) - [Brewers win, 6-2]

[dlk9s]

Good lord, is ESPN Gamecast's strike zone terrible (at least in the Beta version). It basically represents the center of the zone, not the whole thing.

 

EDIT: Correction. I actually have no idea what ESPN's strike zone is trying to approximate.

[YoGasKpose]

A 20-some pitch, 1-2-3 inning for Yo.

 

That shouldn't be frustrating, but, on some level, it is. Still, hopefully he can go deep into the game tonight. And be the recipient of much run support.

TH just tweeted that Hairston has arrived.

[igor67]

Here's to hoping he can flash enough glove and bat to enamored Roeneicke at SS!

I probably would prefer that RR gets excited about him at 3rd

 

 

[YoGasKpose]

For those frustrated with WMLW, Uecker is kind of punchy tonight.

 

It's entertaining.

[CheezWizHed]

Forget about "clearing the pitcher" with Yo!

I think Lopez is the one who is playing for the 3B job

[ChsHeadEngnr]

Hopefully Hairston can come in and make an impression on Roenicke. I hate having higher expectations when the pitcher is at the plate (Gallardo anyways) than the starting shortstop.

[ChsHeadEngnr]

Plush coming through, I love that guy. Anyone know if you can get the T Plush shirts without having to go to the ballpark?

[Bombers]

I thought Morgan couldn't hit lefties - what happened there?

 

Must have been a fluke (blue)

[ttsather]

Plush's eyes are totally different facing a LHP vs. a RHP. There's a different kind of focus in his face.

[ramssuperbowl99]

Sweet. An error on a double play ball.

Can we bury them now?

[pebadger]

Need more than that from that inning. Maybe not against Houston, but in principle.

[YoGasKpose]

A pretty bad AB from Lopez. Not much better from McGehee, but at least he hit it hard.

 

Hate leaving runs on the table like that.

[derflotr]

Happ threw some brutally awful pitches there and no one made him pay for it. So annoying.

McGehee hit the snot out of that ball, I'd say it was a pretty good AB.

[pebadger]

The two best players on the team went K, GIDP (boot). I'd put more on them than the new guy.

[ttsather]

Barmes not out there . . .

Hmmmm.

Maybe true. I thought he missed a couple of pitches, however. Strike one may have been up and out of the zone, and strike two looked like a bit of a hanger. Really thought he should have been able to do something there. Still, certainly a bit unlucky.

[dlk9s]

He did do something there. He hit the ball really hard and it was caught.

[JET15]

Barmes not out there . . .

Hmmmm.

Send him over to our dugout, Doug. Sounds like the Cards are getting Furcol

[MillerParkSouth]

I thought I read somewhere that the Astros said Barmes was untouchable. Which of course doesn't make any sense, but then again, it's Ed Wade.

[FoxyFoxes]

I'm in on Barmes . Betancourt is going to get cold again after the deadline. funny how those things work.

[ChsHeadEngnr]

Ueck is on a roll tonight. It almost makes it worth being at work listening to it. Almost.
