TGJ is our best PH. I never would have guessed it

 

Who has the most PH appearances so far this youngish season?

[SlideBernieSlide]

Hmm. Interesting move. I guess Dessens and Spurling need some work?

[AdvantageSchneider]

Is this a playoff game? What's going on? I thought this would be the game to keep Vargas in, since we're going against their ace anyway.

 

I guess Dessens needs some work.

Just because he is usually the first one used, does not mean he is the best, or they think he is the best. The best is usually saved for the 9th inning, or late in the game in a very key spot.

[JET15]

Pinch hitter after 68 pitches?

 

The top of teh order has killed Vargas tonight. I don't think he could have faced them again without more damage.

[TheCrew07]

Wow that was a good at bat by Gwynn

[AdvantageSchneider]

TG Jr is on, is he going to steal?

Very true, and then TGJ makes the move pay off!!

[sheethead]

HERE WE GO BREWERS, HERE WE GO!

[twobrewers]

I think given our recent success and overused bullpen, Yost had this as a unlikely win in his book.

 

Vargas wasn't great. We are down three. Get in Dressens and Spurling, let them get some work and recoup for tomorrow's game.

[BCZF]

They need to trigger the patented Zambrano meltdown..They are off to a good start..

[COOOOP]

Impressive! That was a nice ab by Gwynn. He is moving up my depth chart.

[littledoc83]

Once again TGJ does what's asked of him... really don't get why so many people on here have dogged him.

[SlideBernieSlide]

TGJ with an RBI. I'm ok with this move

[giffted1]

too bad Gwynn can't produce at the major league level

nice hit by Gwynn and nice move by Yost

[sbrylski]

68...hopefully Dessens or whoever comes in shuts them down or else this is another pen move that could be critized in the wrong hands.

[BCZF]

I dont suppose JJ can go yard again?

[tookej]

Wild Pitch! Melt down starts now.

[sheethead]

Zambrano seems to be laboring. I am stuck listening to Uke on mlb audio, but it seems like he is throwing a ton of pitches in the dirt. Also, his pitch count is getting up there.

[JET15]

Just because he is usually the first one used, does not mean he is the best

 

I based it on stats

[TheEndless7]

I have to stop listening to Fielder at-bats, every time I do he hits the ball directly to the first baseman.

[hawing]

Well, they're a little closer now.

 

Next up: Someone from the Brewers middle bullpen. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/indifferent.gif

[bball123h2]

Thank you mlb.com lag. I assume JJ is not hitting anymore.

[brettac1]

Even though they only scored one, that was a pretty great inning. Unfortunately Fielder swung at the first pitch.

[AJAY]

Did Fielder swing at the first pitch?
