10/01/08 Brewers (Gallardo) at Phillies (Hamels): 2:00 PM CDT

[GormanHarvey]

Same ol Yovani - cool as a freakin cucumber!

[Gobias Industries]

Nice quick inning for Yo. Two well hit balls though.

[tigerbrew]

Nice inning Yo! his stuff looks good.

[dlk9s]

I think Gallardo is a vampire. He does not appear to have any emotion or pulse.

[phxMILWfan]

Good start, now lets see prince take him deep!

[palmettoscott]

Note, Phils took on the first pitch of every at bat in first, will have to see if Manual has them working the count

[wibadgers23]

Hamels looks nasty so far.

[GormanHarvey]

Here comes an ugly AB - hope I'm wrong though

[GormanHarvey]

Man, I thought that was a hit off the bat. Utley was way up the middle

[theavrock]

Is it just me or did it look like Corey was dogging it down the line?

[naivin]

Anyone else get a thrill from watching the ball explode out of Gallardo's hand? I don't no what it is, since he is not necessarily a fire baller, but that thing just sort of appears out of nowhere.

[yfinn6]

Not bad from Corey, he actually hit the ball where it was pitched and hit it hard. Too bad Utley was in just about perfect position.

[dlk9s]

Is it just me or did it look like Corey was dogging it down the line?

Just you.

[owbc]

That ball was hit fairly hard, I think Corey was running.

[naivin]

I suspecta delay of any kind would mean the end of Gallardo's day. Not good.

[dlk9s]

I guess Philly never expected to be in the postseason, or they would've put a roof on that place.

[palmettoscott]

Sounds good naivin and Shlitz - just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to jinx the Brewers or something by being the only one to tune out BA. I don't know why, but I just get the impression that Smoltz gives the Brewers zero respect. And I like John Smoltz

I live in Atlanta and Smoltz is on the Morning Sports talk show once a week and last week he went on and on about how busch league the yost situation was and how even though yost is his friend he thought it was completely wrong regardless of their relationship. He also picked the Mets to take the WC on Friday, who knows how much the frustration with yost lead to his choice.

[dlk9s]

Gallardo's release point is high.

Thanks for the info! I thought I could detect something...

[monkeyman343434]

i would take a rain delay, get hamels out of there, with having mcclugn, bush, suppan, parra, i would say the brewers are in much better position for a rain delay here than the phillies

[trwi7]

This strike zone is tiny.

[Schlitz001]

Let's get on base here......or at least work the count.

[dlk9s]

I'm not used to seeing good defense from the Brewers. What else could happen today?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

yo is getting no strike zone yet hamel is

[GormanHarvey]

This strike zone is tiny.

I'd say. Weeks bomb here if he can get ahead in the count and stay away from that change?
