2009-04-08 Brewers (Gallardo) at Giants (Johnson): 9:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-2]

[GormanHarvey]

Cam also better keep up his pace of 324 SBs this year.

Not to mention his pace of 648 walks!

Weeks

Hart

Braun

Fielder

Hardy

Cameron

Hall

Yo

but some of the stuff they're saying about their team and ours is ridiculous ("I mean, I know it was just the Milwaukee Brewers, but ten runs!").

 

Very funny. You'd think they'd check the '08 standings and see 90 wins. It's akin to judging CC Sabathia by his start on Monday.

 

Yovani's last start in SF was a disaster. Let's hope for a better outcome tonight.

Does anyone have any idea how Johnson's looked this Spring? I'm curious if he's regressing due to age and back problems.

Johnson's line this spring:

 

16.1 IP | 13 H | 4 ER | 16 K | 5 BB | 1 HR | 2.20 ERA

 

About 3.2 K/BB and just under 1 K/IP. Those number do not look so bad, but we will see how they translate to the regular season.

[wOOgiE22]

Ouch, I hope Bill Hall can break his slump vs. Randy Johnson while JJ stays hot against him.

 

HALL:

0 H | 13 AB | 8 K | 0 BB | 0 HR | 0.000 OPS

 

HARDY:

3 H | 5 AB | 1 K | 1 BB | 2 HR | 2.467 OPS

Anyone watching the Giants tv feed? Couldn't they do this junk before the 7 o'clock start time? Play Ball already!

[GormanHarvey]

Great start

 

could be a long night if RJ has command like that the whole game

[uwisfan]

jeez first batter and Yo already got squeezed.. should be a K

[DHonks]

Man, JJ's gotta stop that ball. can't let is slip under the glove.

 

Interesting first inning so far.

[bjkrautk]

J.J. should have been able to get to the throw on Kendall's error, IMO.

[GormanHarvey]

Agreed. Yo looks terrible so far. Hes lucky Renteria didn't crush that pitch he flew out on

[GormanHarvey]

and another ridiculous strike zone. on top of Unit dealing

[GormanHarvey]

CAM-BOOGIE! Have a start to the season my man!

[ELCABALLO45]

Cam Boogie decides its time to visit souviner city!!

[GormanHarvey]

Hey El Caballo - I was startin to think I was the only one in the thread instead of the chat room

[GormanHarvey]

Unit is gettin a good 4-5 inches off the outside corner - better get used to it boys. And Yo better get the same!

[ELCABALLO45]

Im here lol.

 

We are making Randy look like the old Randy Johnson.

 

And I agree Yo has not looked good so far.

[dlk9s]

Unit is gettin a good 4-5 inches off the outside corner - better get used to it boys. And Yo better get the same!

Aside from the 1st inning, the Giants pitchers got a wide outside strike zone yesterday, too.

[GormanHarvey]

Yeah what up with the home cookin? You would think they had a couple former Cy Youngs out there or something...

[zzzmanwitz]

oh billy..... you gotta glove that one.

[GormanHarvey]

I got queasy with YO covering first there. I was just waiting for him to dive

[EinhornIsFinkle]

I hate score keeping like that. Double my foot.

[BrewCrewForever]

Yo just does not have his normal stuff today. Not pounding the strike zone like we are accustom to seeing.

[afeter]

man, why the heck does the 8 hole get something to hit. sheesh, another cheap giants run. I guess its one of those series

[BrewCrewForever]

Those two curve balls to Johnson by far the best ones Yo has thrown so far.
