2012-07-01 Diamondbacks (Collmenter) at Brewers (Gallardo), 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 2-1, on Little League walkoff]

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Did that remind anyone of the pitch that put Gomez into scoring position in Game 5?

[kalle8]

spain 2 italy 0. colmenteros!

[Funketown]

I'm just not sure how you get through Spain's defense right now. I'm not sure I see a way back for Italy.

Did I just hear the Godfather theme song playing for Cody Ransom's walk up music?

[pitchleague]

yes, you did. Had to comment on that to my wife as she was wondering what it was.

[RockCoCougars]

Awesome job by Maldonado running up Collmenter's pitch count. He's unhittable, so you want to get into the bullpen ASAP.

[DHonks]

why no BA on Sundays this year?

[TURBO]

Yo has made it into the 7th inning only 2 times since April 22nd.

 

He NEEDS to be able to go deeper into games to establish himself as our ace...

 

If he can't make it through 7 today with more than a one run lead, I can't see him getting a win today. Once we get into our bullpen, all bets are off.

 

For the stat guys, when was the last time Yo pitched a complete game?

April 5 of last year.

[TURBO]

ok, when was the last time he went a full 8 innings? He hasn't done it this year...

 

This is a problem for me.

NLDS game 1

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Nobody throws complete games anymore. I believe Greinke just had the first one for the Brewers since April of last year. Gallardo threw a shutout last April.

 

Wouldn't disagree that Gallardo needs to be more efficient to get to the next level. However, he has now gone at least 6 innings in 15/17 starts. He's gone at least 7 on 5 occasions and should add to that today.

[ninja33]

Gallardo's been very good in almost every start that hasn't been against the cardinals (gave up 5 ER to the Cubs in early June). I would like it if he went 7 a little bit more as well (especially the way the bullpen has been going), but it's hard to get too angry about 14/17 quality starts (assuming today ends well for him). QS as a stat has it's flaws, but that would tie him with RA Dickey for the major league lead.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Yo's ERA back under 4.00. 14/17 quality starts is certainly getting the job done, but yes another inning per start would be great given our bullpen.

holy cow rickie.

 

and did craig coshun just call chris young, "lumpkin"? Or am i hearing things? maybe he said "young can"

[TURBO]

I'm not saying he needs to throw complete games, I'm saying that he needs to go deeper into games at least occasionally...

 

It is not true that nobody throws complete games anymore, but my point was not that Yo needs to have more complete games.

 

The fact that we have not had a complete game since April of 2011, more than a full year just seems odd. I wonder if any other team in MLB can beat that?

to be fair, Greinke threw 9 innings about a week ago.

[TURBO]

Uh oh... Veras is warming up. I hate seeing him enter any game, much less a one run game.

[RockCoCougars]

What in the name of Steve Sax was that? And I was just thinking earlier today how if nothing else, Rickey has turned into a pretty good second baseman.

[TURBO]

True, noted... But that is still over a year since a Brewer pitcher went 9 innings...

[tommyboy42609]

holy cow rickie.

I think he siad Upton but not sure. He's good for 2-3 screwups like that a game.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I'm starting to think my pre-season prediction of Rickie Weeks as the NL MVP may be in jeopardy. Still love ya Rick, but geeze that was ugly.

[Funketown]

That was really bad. Little league bad.

that's probably more likely.
