2014-05-03 Brewers (Gallardo) at Reds (Cueto), 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-2]

pretendastronaut can move this around as he wishes once he's got the fancy IGT lead post going, but once this caught my eye on a Reds blog, I really wanted it to get into the IGT before I forgot:

 

Reds lineup, Star Wars style

[jjgott]

Rammy!!!

[igor67]

Hopefully he can get it going again.

[yfinn6]

Yo is straight dealing early on - knock on wood.

[yfinn6]

Yep, nevermind.

[adambr2]

And a complete meltdown inning for Yo.

[yfinn6]

Ugh, Ramirez.

[chickinbrickin]

Grr, defense

[adambr2]

Shades of Wes Helms there on that throw from Rammy.

[adambr2]

I mistakenly assumed they must have at least scored 1 on that error by Rammy. At least it's still 3-1.

[adambr2]

You have not been missed, Schafer.

[yfinn6]

You have not been missed, Schafer.

 

Plays some nice D... maybe he's just not getting enough ABs? Either way, he leaves a lot to be desired at the plate. I've never been too excited with him but it is what it is. I'd rather have him out there than Herrera.

[yfinn6]

Every time there is a fly ball at that park, I think it's going to be a homerun.

Yeah, true enough. That's not saying much, though.

 

I don't have a problem with Schafer as a 4th OF type guy, it's just the people that are way too high on him and thinking he is a future "3 WAR" player that I don't understand.

I agree. I think I actually got into a pretty lengthy argument on this site regarding the whole "over-valuing" of prospects. And I think Schafer was the prospect in question.

[adambr2]

Yo is toast.

Everyone's got an opinion, but I couldn't believe how many people last year thought that Gomez was expendable because of Logan Schafer.

Well. It could have been a lot worse, considering how bad Yo looked/how locked in the Reds were. One nice thing about the new sinkerballer strikethrowing Yo is that he got hit around with liners and ground balls and not home runs.

Except a lot of those pitches were up and were hit hard or hit into the outfield. Point is - they were still hits, and he hit a batter. Tonight hasn't been that great for him, but true, could have been worse.

Try being there and figuring it out....

[yfinn6]

Brewers pitchers have been junk tonight. Everything up.

 

Edit - junk might be too harsh. The offense has been worse, too.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

they'll come back

[adamb100]

Brewers pitching is coming back to earth, last place here we come.

[adambr2]

Probably in, but too close to take with 2 strikes.

[yfinn6]

Review it!

 

He's out. Crap.
