I love Ryan Braun so much, kid is a superstar.

 

I know its only 2 games, but I really want Hardy to be batting 2nd and Hart to be batting 5th

98 on an inside heater. Wowzers.

I agree. Hardy needs to see fastballs and Hart is hopeless at the plate no matter what they throw, he has to just hope he guesses right to have any success. Hart is just terrible as a #2 hitter because his approach at the plate is one of the worst in baseball.

Agreed and Agreed.

 

JJ seems to be uncomfortable everywhere but the 2 hole. Play to his strength.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Would love a quick inning here from Yo.

 

LOL at the Ed Sedar impression! BA from downtown!

[dlk9s]

Very nice plays by Hall and Fielder there. Hopefully that helps stave off a big inning.

[GormanHarvey]

What a play by Hall and I couldn't agree with you more Caballo on Hardy and Hart going back to 2 and 5 repectively

[ELCABALLO45]

That BA impression of Seder was classic!!

 

Also, nice play by Billy.

 

Lets go Yo, get this last out here.

[jjfanec]

It will be interesting to see if Yo comes back out. 88 pitches is not a ton but do you run him out there again?

[GormanHarvey]

That's gotta be all for Gallardo tonight, eh?

[ELCABALLO45]

Ok I watched the highlight of Yo's homer on Gameday beacause I like to hear other announcers reaction.

 

After Yo hit it the announcer said.. "Yovani Gallardo couldnt pick a better time to hit his first home run of the year?"

 

HUH!?! His 2nd at bat of the year... good timing by Yo.

[Ennder]

his posture on the bench suggests he is done, but that is nowhere near a sure thing.

If his spot comes up, I wouldn't dare use a PH http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

bill hall was nearly into his home run trot on that ball 20 feet from the track

[GormanHarvey]

That stinks - Kendall laced that ball and he gets flat robbed

agreed, that will be one the hardest hit balls by kendall all year.

[dlk9s]

I was thinking that, too, but now I'm thinking that he simply knew it was nothing more than a flyout, so he didn't start sprinting to first.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

The kid's back out there.

 

Finish strong Yo! Then knock another one out for good measure.

[dlk9s]

So, if Yo finishes the inning, does he bat for himself in the 8th?

[GormanHarvey]

Haha - I don't know man, he did hit 3 bombs in ST. Sveum apparently ironed him out so he drives the ball better. At least thats what I read...

I know when i saw the 3 ST hrs, i had to do a triple take. Partly in jest, but he really did smoke that shot.

[dlk9s]

I know it's rarely positive when the pitching coach visits the mound, but it's cool to see Castro finally getting to make that walk.

[twobrewers]

Renteria looks too tall to be a shortstop

[GormanHarvey]

Oh I totally hear you. That ball was laced. There was some sarcasm mixed in for me too.

 

Kendall has not looked good tonight on this throws down to 2nd

[twobrewers]

It's only been a few throws...but Kendall is NOT going to throw out 50% of the runners this year.

 

So far his throws have been horrible. (Only two - but still)
