Wow Cam, if you want to give up a run then replace it with two, ok then.

I didn't get a look on TV, but this is the bandage that Yo wore yesterday at an autograph signing.

Wow...even in the shadows...Cam Boogie!!!

[Trowekamp]

Nice to see Gamel hit.. some production at 3B would be nice.

[Mr QL]

I want to see more of Gamel.

[Schlitz001]

Against RHP I think this is the best lineup we can put out there.

Rivera instead of Kendall would be much improved.

It's exciting to watch Yo hit and while he's a good hitter for a pitcher, he's not really a good hitter in general. Career .214/.225 ave/obp. Also a big DP threat. With no outs it's a good choice with a pitcher up.

I am not excited to watch Yo hit at all. I would have said the same thing for any pitcher that can hit better than Ben Sheets. Sac bunting is overall a bad move unless you you are down a run or tied late in a game. I forgot to add, if you catch the defense off guard by sac bunting it would be a good idea. When everybody in the stadium including the drunk guy in left field trying to start the wave knows it is coming, it shouldn't be done. We discussed this in the statistical analysis forum a while back. Link

[Mr QL]

ugh i thought a couple of those balls were strikes

[davego]

Throw the secondary pitches more.

[davego]

9 k's thru 4 w/o his 'best' stuff. Pretty cool. Get one more inning from Yo.

Seeing the Pic of Yo makes me feel real, real old. Wow. When did ML players become children? =)

Yes.. after 5 I say give him the rest of the day off.. Coffey for 1 Stetter for 2 and Villy for 1 or 2 if Hoffman is not needed.

[stoutdude04]

Our bullpen pitched 5 innings yesterday. Id prefer if he could make it 6.

 

If they do take him out after 5 id rather not see stetter pitching again, let alone 2 innings. Difelice perhaps.

[Schlitz001]

That's a bigger catch by Braun after Brandon Phillips homers in the next at bat.

[Mr QL]

what a play by braun

 

boooooo philips

[Mr QL]

I think Yo is good for another inning

[trwi7]

Yeah, 91 pitches, he should be good for another. Don't want him going any more than 6 today though.

Actually I met Difelice but for some reason type Stetter.. He is a 91 through 5 with the bottom of the lineup coming up so I would let him go 1 more as well unless he comes up here with bases loaded and 2 out or something.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

what a play by braun

 

But isn't Soriano supposed to be better???

[Mr QL]

balk booooo

This is also a good reason to cut the cord with Julio.. I don't think anyone trusts him a game with less than a 6 run lead. Would much rather have Dillard up as the mop up guy. I would trust him today to give us an inning to help out the rest of the pen.

[Trowekamp]

Hard to believe after the first couple of innings that Owings lasted longer than Yo today.

[logan82]

Our pen should be ok today unless they go extra innings. The only guys who probably aren't available would be Villanueva and McClung. Villanueva should even be ok since he only went just over an inning and didn't pitch the night before.

[Mr QL]

Well thanks Hannigan.

 

Don't like taking Gamel out
