04/12/05 - Pirates (Redman) @ Brewers (Glover), 6:35 PM CT

[DHonks]

Powell saying that Glover is throwing 92 or 94, depending on which of the two guns. Hardly the typical #5 starter's stuff

[batman]

Bottalico is up in the bullpen, FYI.

They should make Daryle Ward pay for that foul poul. I think he put a hole in it. Jeebus.

[polwonks]

BAM- Ward goes yard for 2 runs

[JohnA17]

Well you could see that coming, even the Pitt announcers were commenting on how Glover was looking ripe to get hammered. Looks like we are going to have to get to their bullpen tonight. Too bad the hitting has gone into a shell since the first, Glover just isn't good enough to win a low scoring game like this.

[YutakaEnatsu]

Is a ground rule double the 4th TO? TO 3.5 maybe?

 

Ugh Ward, ugh Ross. C'mon Glove, get out of this...

[batman]

Is a ground rule double the 4th TO? TO 3.5 maybe?

 

Nope, 'cause the defense could have caught it. The hit-by-pitch is True Outcome 3.5.

 

EDIT: 113 pitches? That's too many... no wonder he started struggling.

[polwonks]

anybody see Lee's approach to that ball?

[batman]

Yeah, he flashed a sweet 3 inch vertical leap. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Come on offense.

[YutakaEnatsu]

So... all you armchair managers out there... would you let a glorified longman go 110+ pitches in his first start of the year?

 

Also, point taken regarding the TOs... I think our old LF would have gotten to that one... just sayin'. That's the price we pay for having a legit RH bat in the middle of the lineup, I guess.

[BucketheadBrigader]

ugh... 3-2 pirates... bottalico up in the pen it looks like

[batman]

Bob Brainerd should be classified as a controlled substance.

 

Egads.

 

~Bill

[JohnA17]

I hate to complain but 12 strikeouts for Spivey already? Sheesh I don't even want to what sort of pace he is on.

[batman]

Wow, I think Carlos just killed Mark Redman. That was not pretty. I hope he's okay.

 

~Bill

[YutakaEnatsu]

Whoa, Redman took a shot there. Looks like it nailed him right on the kneecap?

[BucketheadBrigader]

OWWWWWWWW that looked painful. Let's pray that Redman doesnt suffer any serious damage from that.

[bjkrautk]

OUCH!

 

When getting hit by a line drive sends you airborne, that is a hard hit baseball. I just hope he's not going to be seriously injured.

[YutakaEnatsu]

Nobody up in the bullpen? Is this Dusty Baker in disguise managing?

[BucketheadBrigader]

and hes gonna stay in??? wow

[batman]

Redman is a stud... I can't believe he got up by himself, much less stayed in the game. Amazing.

 

~Bill

[Prince James]

he'll k jenks for sure

[Prince James]

ok, maybe not

[JohnA17]

agggh so close Geoff.

[BucketheadBrigader]

thought jenks had it. Dont look now, but very good approaches to the plate in his last 2 ABs. Could we pray for the end of the slump?
