2011-09-06 Brewers (Gallardo) at Cardinals (Lohse) - [Brewers lose, 4-2]

[markedman5]

Walks just kill you

[Bernman23]

Betancourt in the 6th spot + Gallardo vs. the Cardinals = ..........

[burnzy24]

Gameday had that pitch to Berkman perfectly down the middle. When I saw that and "in play runs" I thought it would be a HR.

[a3uge]

Fielder looked like he dove right over that ball.

Rewound it, it went under his glove. He got a late break to it.

Could have been worse, but tha was not one of Yo's best innings.

Fielder looked like he dove right over that ball.

I don't think statistics fully quantify how bad of a defender he's become. Bad range, bad coordination, bad throws, etc. The Brewers won't miss that aspect of his contribution next season.

[ilovebeer]

Shouldn't we hold back Zack for the Phillie's series, since he pitches better at home?

[davego]

True we will not miss Prince's D, but IMO, that is like saying I won't miss the stupid toothpick on a 54oz t-bone.

[a3uge]

That half inning was literally under 3 minutes.

Corey Hart has some goofy looking catches. He always has that half-grin on his face afterwards too, knowing it wasn't all that routine.

Full inning: 7 minutes total including the break.

heh, I find it funny and comforting that RR and Prince don't act the way TLR and Albert would have if Albert got hit there

[ilovebeer]

There leaving to many men on base tonight

[ilovebeer]

Hey Tony that is how a real manager acts whne his star player get hit.

[Bernman23]

In fairness to McGehee, that puts tremendous pressure on him to hit ahead of such an inept hitter as Yuni. He expanded his zone there and I can't blame him, really. If they unintentionally walk him those baserunners go for naught anyways. I'd like to see how he fared for a few days hitting ahead of Green. The range we sacrifice at 2nd base would in all likelihood be worth it, especially considering the guy he'd be replacing (Yuni) is a detriment at his own position.

[markedman5]

Gallardo is a gopher ball machine

[a3uge]

Yuni now getting blamed for other batters not producing hits.

[TheBwaz]

and the machine is working tonight...

[markedman5]

really Yo? Another dinger?

[wibadgers23]

I can't wait until we're done playing the Cardinals this year.

[Bernman23]

Yuni now getting blamed for other batters not producing hits.

And if I ripped on McGehee you'd have also rushed to his defense.

[burnzy24]

I can't wait until we're done playing the Cardinals this year.

I bet Yo feels the same way.

[markedman5]

This might be the worse 5,6, 7 lineup in history tonight......especially for a first place team......

[ilovebeer]

Is anyone else worried that the dbacks are going to catch us?

[jwill535]

its amazing how anemic this offense can get for stretches at a time.

[Spidey]

Yeah, I'm a little worried about ARI, especially with their cushy schedule ahead. I'm also a little worried about Yo these days, I hope he's not hitting a wall at the end here. An extra day or two of rest might help him.
