Man...all of these years sucking and still sticking with the crew is starting to pay off.

[crewcrazy]

My computer started to lag with the chat room, so I ended up losing my place. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif Bummer. Here's to hoping the Brewers add more this inning.

[Ennder]

17 pitches, 69 total.

 

With a pretty weak bottom of the order coming up I'd say he has a good shot at 6 IP.

[Trowekamp]

Hall, Estrada, Mench, and Weeks would have been our top 4 hitters 3 years ago...

[DHonks]

as of now it would seem quite possible for 5-6 IP from Yo with Carlos Villanueva throwing anywhere from 2-4 IP.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Yo is wearing Teddy Higuera's number. Thats cool!

[Trowekamp]

Kinda weird hoping someone gets on so the pitcher gets to knock them in..

[soup can for prez]

atta boy menchy

[JET15]

Hmm, why aren't they walking Rickie after the WP?

[Trowekamp]

I wonder if Dave Bush is watching this game and working on throwing from the stretch..

[DHonks]

since Yo can handle the bat, might as well try to send Rickie here and get him in scoring position

[Ennder]

I doubt it, Vargas would go to the pen if either of them does. He's proven he can't go deep into games at all and Bush has pitched as well as he has.

 

But I guess thats a discussion for another thread, heh.

Well I haven't seen either of them go past 6 with any success this year..

 

I for some reason just like Vargas better.. I don't see Bush having a goto out pitch while Vargas seems to miss more bats.. of course that might mean he is better suited for the pen.

[Trowekamp]

Yo.. your cut..

[Ennder]

Bush does lead the team in K's...he's pitched into the 8th four times this year and pitched at least 6 innings in 9 of 14 starts with only one start going less than 5.

 

Vargas has never made it past 6 IP, he's pitched 6 innings in 6 of 12 starts with 2 starts going less than 5.

 

Gallardo looking very good since the first inning, I'm pretty impressed by him so far which is going to make this whole starting rotation question a tricky one.

[gregmag]

I'm trying to follow this online, catching the odd batter on the radio between taking care of baby . . . can anyone describe what Yo is throwing, how hard, what sequences, etc.?

 

Greg.

[iluvlamp]

I want YoGa in the rotation. That is all.

[DHonks]

I'd be tempted to try Shouse for the next inning with the switch hitter and some lefties. Of course, Shouse has been awful lately, and Yo does have 19 pitches for the 100 mark. This is where I wish we had a power, high K reliever for the early innings. I miss Chad Fox.

[TheCrew07]

Yo just needs to learn to pitch to contact a bit more... ABs like the one with Bonds drive me nuts. He's 0-2, then he misses 3 times outside before trying to sneak a fastball in on the low outside corner. I was hoping for a change-up on that 1-2 count over the inner half and send his butt back to the dugout.

 

Lame thunderstorm up here in GB is killing my viewing of the game, keeps knocking Dish every 15 minutes or so for 1-2 minutes.

[giffted1]

Nice bomb Corey!!! And to the opposite field.

[thablingster]

If Corey Hart were in NBA Jam, they'd say "He's heating up!"

[BadgerBacker4ever34]

BadgerBacker4ever34=former Corey Hart skeptic.

[crewcrazy]

Corey!!

 

As for Yo, his fastball has been in the low 90s and his curveball has been in the upper 70's, and he's had good control of both. Had some bad luck in the first inning but has settled down since.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

and we were platooning hart early in the year for what reason ned ?

[JET15]

OMG, this young team is so freakin exciting
