2014-08-16 Brewers (Gallardo) at Dodgers (Kershaw), 8:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-2; Yo with 8 strong innings]

[wildcat83]

Nasty pitch there, two down

[TauPentaRei]

It doesn't even matter if it's right (ie win)... It is so wrong.

 

 

In fact, a save here just reemphasizes the wrong logic.

 

 

Ron turned this into a lose-lose situation

[razzzorsharp]

Dodgers are having a hard time on that low stuff (after Kemp). Let's go Krod.

[AZBrewCrew]

BALLGAME!!!!!!!!!

[adamb100]

We beat Clayton Kershaw!

[wildcat83]

Ball game! Now finish up the Cardinal loss and it's a good night

[TauPentaRei]

Okay, I'll be happy now

[owbc]

Another ace goes down. Awesome!

[razzzorsharp]

Great win. I hope most of the chatter will talk about how great Yo was and less about the 9th inning.

[DocLuna7]

Awesome win. Go Brewers!

[dlk9s]

Well, K-Rod looked great after the bomb.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

The 9th-inning horror movie has a happy ending. Road wins in games started by Greinke and Kershaw: that's impressive.

[DuWayne Steurer]

We have to trade for an ace, or we won't be able to beat aces like Kershaw or Wainright or David Price in the playoffs.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Victory! Let's get a sweep tomorrow, boys!

 

Ahh, but I'm still angry. I shouldn't be angry. The Brewers just beat Clayton Kershaw! He'd won 11(?) in a row. OK, calming down a bit.

[folly412]

Statement win. House money tomorrow.

[trwi7]

Lose to Kyle Hendricks and Tsuyoshi Wada. Beat Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw. That makes sense.

[TGOTJ]

If I was a GM, and this just happened - there would be a phone call. And it would be a pretty one sided conversation. Again, we burned three relievers (because warm-ups do count) with Gallardo dealing. No wonder the bullpen is trashed.

[bthurley19]

Still not a fan of the over managment but huge win and huge series victory on the road over the team with two of the best pitchers in the league.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

We have to trade for an ace, or we won't be able to beat aces like Kershaw or Wainright or David Price in the playoffs.

 

I think opponents are just going to let some guy that's never started pitch in the playoffs. That's the ticket!

[TGOTJ]

What a start by Gallardo! And the infield defense was very good tonight. Sure makes those defensive efficiency metrics believable.

[jerichoholicninja]

28 of 30 MLB managers do the same thing Ron did tonight. I don't like Ron but I fail to see how going with KRod is the inexcusable call so many are making it out to be.

And if the wheels fell off for Yo which can happen quick, people would throw a fit if RRR didn't have anyone ready. I have no problem with anything tonight.

[Thhhza]

Was never in doubt

 

Tomorrow will probably be a loss with our ace against Dan Haren ERA 4.50

[owbc]

Maybe I was watching a different game, but Yo looked unimpressive in the 8th and he was almost at 100 pitches. We need our starters to be sharp in October also. K-Rod looked fine. Ron made the right decision.

[DuWayne Steurer]

If Ron lets Yo start the 9th and the first 2 guys reach base, he's still a moron.
