2013-04-17 Giants (Vogelsong) at Brewers (Lohse), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-3; walkoff a Lalli pop]

Someone should have put Yuni at 1B years ago.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Boycott continues

 

Are you doing this boycott because of Weeks batting cleanup? If so, you are going to miss quite a few games. That's something that I'm just not capable of doing.

Yuni at 1B. There is no reason to start Yuni at 1B. It is asinine.

 

Are you sure about that? 100%?

[danzig6767]

I have to fully admit that Doug Melvin (Mark Attanasio) made an excellent decision by going after Kyle Lohse. He is better than Gallardo.

 

His command certainly is better than YO, as i posted above. Lohse is almost always ahead in the count and rarely leaves pitches over the heart of the plate, instead he owns the corners. I've been very impressed so far and can see why he was so good the last two years.

100% His whole approach is swing hard in case you hit it. The sun shines on every dog's ass once in a while.

Lets keep Yuni at 1st when Hart comes off the DL and use his bat off the bench. :grin:

The guy has more grand slams than Wade Boggs, Ty Cobb, Al Kaline and Ryan Braun.

[Yeti73]

Watching Lohse pitch so far in his three starts, i can see why he had so much success the last two years with the Cardinals. He doesn't throw above 91-92, but his command really is fabulous. Almost every fastball/sinker is on the corners be it outside or inside, and he has a plus changeup which he also commands well.

 

If Peralta had command like that, he'd win a CY Young award.

 

It is so refreshing to have a player who pounds the strike zone. I understand that he's in a groove right now and he will get hit hard occasionally, but at least he doesn't goof around and waste time out there. If he is 85% of what we've gotten thus far over the course of his contract, we got an absolute steal.

Brock Kjeldgaard was just compared to Russell Branyan on the FSN broadcast. Brock should immediately retire as this is the high point of his career.

[chickinbrickin]

They need to get Lohse in a Brewers hat on Yahoo. Can't stand looking at that Cardinals lid

[markedman5]

Lohse looks great.......pounds the strike zone...great command....

But does he have more than Prince Fielder?

Did the Brewers call him up or something?

[chickinbrickin]

Vogelsong sure likes walking the Brewers worst hitter

[Kelbysdaddy]

Is it just me or has braun been standing further away from the plate then he usually does?

[FVBrewerFan]

I'll never understand that logic. Why wouldn't you want both your catchers in the game at the same time? I don't see the downside.

[chickinbrickin]

Was the play at second on Braun even close? Trying to follow online right now.

[PrinceFielderx1]

The Giants players are so selfish. Stealing his teammates ball like that.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Was the play at second on Braun even close? Trying to follow online right now.

 

Sorta. If the throw wasn't perfect Braun would have been safe.

[ELCABALLO45]

Was the play at second on Braun even close? Trying to follow online right now.

 

It was close, but you could tell he was out. Good throw by the other MVP in this game.

[endaround]

Was the play at second on Braun even close? Trying to follow online right now.

 

No. He was tagged on the thigh and was still a good two feet away from the bag.

[chickinbrickin]

Thanks

No. He's just playing well in AA.

I sure hope he is playing well as a 27 year old in AA.

[jjkoestler]

KL is pitching well tonight. I will have to keep watching this game.

[topper09er]

Gomez, this would not be a good time to ground out to SS/3B
