4/20/08 Brewers (Gallardo) at Reds (Harang): 12:15 PM CDT

Rickie has raised his OBP 4 straight years so far..I'm not worried he'll put it together soon

[Trowekamp]

That last pitched practically rolled across the plate and was called a strike. Nice umping.

 

Can't wait to get away from this crew in Cincinnati.

I agree that the strike zone this series has been very generous but at some point you have to realize that as a hitter and understand with 2 strikes you have to swing.. also our pitchers need to take advantage of that.

[Trowekamp]

All three of those pitches to Hart were balls, IMO.

 

Finally, a FarmersOnly.com commerical!!! Farmer dating websites = awesome!!!

I thought that was an energizer bunn commerical.. I could not believe it was real.

[uwisfan]

the problem as a hitter is that in the first inning for Gallardo at least, he wasn't being given the outside at all. It's the inconsistency that is tough to deal with.

[trwi7]

Wow, where'd that miss?

[And That]

Ok, then where did that 1-2 pitch to Griffey miss? And 2-2 for that matter?

[Trowekamp]

How were those two pitches to Jr not strike three after what they have called on the Brewers.. if you are going to be incompetent at least be consistent about it.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Harang getting all sorts of room off the corner and Yo can't get a sniff from the ump.

 

This crew is not so good.

[trwi7]

Wow two pitches that have been strikes for Harang not called strikes for Gallardo.

[And That]

Too many pitches by Gallardo in the 4th.

[trwi7]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

[uwisfan]

great throw by Hardy. And how weak was that by Dunn. Use your big body at least old man

[adambr2]

You're done, Dunn...sit down!

[And That]

Kendall had the fear of God in him as he saw Dunn coming... nice tag, very nice cut off and throw by Braun!

[Schlitz001]

That's the best we've seen from Braun defensively so far this season. Hopefully there's more to come. Great throw by Hardy too.

[yfinn6]

Real nice camera work there, couldn't even tell exactly how close that play was or anything. Maybe a different angle would have been better?

[COOOOP]

I thought Dunn had his foot on home right as Kendall applied the tag, but I'll take it.

[And That]

Dunn was out, but not by much.

[adambr2]

For whatever reason, Hall hesitated coming out of the box, otherwise he might beat that out.

[uwisfan]

thats the second time in 2 days Hall has been slow out of the box, only to get edged out in a close play at first.

[adambr2]

I am so sick of seeing Yo out there getting squeezed every inning with the massive strike zone that Harang is getting.

[uwisfan]

Yo Ga totally squeezed then gives up the HR.. gameday shows 3 strikes all called balls

[Schlitz001]

With the rain coming down, that was pretty clutch for the Reds.

[trwi7]

Yo is starting to lose control and elevate his pitches. Probably a good idea to get the bullpen warming up.

[iluvlamp]

Ned doesn't want to go to the bullpen yet Gallardo is clearly struggling the last 2 frames. BTW, do Braun and Hardy get assists for the Dunn play at home? Or just Hardy.
