2011-10-07 Diamondbacks (Kennedy) at Brewers (Gallardo) - Brewers win, 3-2 in 10 innings; win NLDS

[SeriesFinale]

I am absolutely despising listening to Berman here: he jumps the gun on every play and has nearly given me a heart attack twice.

[Thhhza]

Yo's pitching like he's afraid to lose while Kennedy is pitching like he has nothing to lose. We need an early run to calm Yo down.

[Bernman23]

I would guess Gallardo for 5 innings, Greinke for 2, then K-Rod and the Ax Man.

 

(I hope.)

Nope. If the team dips into the bullpen it should be from the proven quartet of Saito-Hawkins-KRod-Ax.

A little too non-chalant for my taste, but it works.

I think he's battling the sun.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

I don't know about biased, but he's certainly missing pitches. And this makes three games in a row where they're really not chasing. The D-backs have been extremely patient, unfortunately.

aannnnddd theres weeks swinging on the first pitch for an out.

[StearnsFTW]

Pretty sad that that inning started out with a 1 pitch out.

Does anyone know what the WTMJ delay is?

 

 

They were still at commercial when you posted this.

It was a strike down the middle and he hit it hard. Not sure why you'd want him to just give up on a good pitch to hit.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

I have a bad feeling this will be an under 10 pitch inning for Kennedy. D-backs showing patience. Not so much for the Brewers. Yet.

Never thought of that - thanks, dlk9s. Just shows how anxious I am.

I don't think Yo has been that bad at all. At least 3 pitches called balls that would have been a strike 90% of the time all year. The biggest one being on the inside corner to Upton, that would have been strike 3.

I dunno, Kennedy is a good pitcher and we should be getting his pitch count up to get to their bullpen. Just my thought.

[mastershake76]

it would be nice to get kennedy up over 25 pitches or so before the 5th inning rolls around.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

4 pitches 2 outs. Great.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Time for a bottom of the order rally, at least clear the pitcher.

[FVBrewerFan]

Just like that.... lol

[jason21nl]

at least there were a couple hard hit balls that inning

I was refering to Goldschmidt not Weeks. I was hoping for a quick one for Yo.

Weeks has been struggling, especially with the outside pitch. He needs to snap out of it, and to do so he's got to swing at good pitches to hit. He had one there, and he hit it hard. just right at a guy unfortunately

[fondybrewfan]

That would be the Brewers luck, Both Weeks and Yuni hit those pretty well. Anything ARI hit well the last 2 games found a hole or the seats

[dlk9s]

I don't see how Kennedy was so good this year. He's looked extremely hittable in both games.

[TooLiveBrew]

Weeks & Betancourt each hit the ball at least as well as Roberts did... for the DBacks' only hit so far. I think Yo will settle in, his curve will be very important.

[endaround]

The worst thing is Weeks hits it hard for an out and then Hairston feels like he has to take one right down the middle to let his pitcher rest so he starts down 0-1.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Guess it will be Chris Berman and the radio for the rest of the night. Off to HS football game. Hope to read great joy tonight! Go Brewers!

[mastershake76]

I just hope Gallardo can hang in there long enough to get us to k-rod. He's thrown a lot of pitches.
