2009-07-25 Braves (Hanson) at Brewers (Gallardo) : 6:05 PM CT [Brewers win, 4-0]

[LaprilOne]

Maybe Yo could quit throwing out of the zone. Ump not withstanding.

[GB12]

I liked the black and white Bears uniforms a lot better. Dave Bush looked awesome in that.

 

And Gallardo with an RBI single!

[stalton]

I'm really liking Lopez's bat at the top of the order. Fans seem to like him too

[thablingster]

Nice job driving in the run, Yo! I toast my adult beverage to you.

 

Felipe Lopez's batting stance and the quirky way he flips his bat back and forth is almost as annoying as Ryan Dempster's windup, but at least he's our guy instead of a Cub. If he keeps hitting, he can do whatever he wants.

[razzzorsharp]

Yo at 98 pitches, maybe Macha should pull him now.

[thablingster]

You'd never know Hardy ran a 6.71 60-yard dash to finish in the top 5 fastest Brewers two years ago seeing him run down the line this year. I guess there is something to that game speed argument after all.

[razzzorsharp]

I really hope Yo is now done. It was a nice quick inning, he has the lead, let the pen finish this out.

[razzzorsharp]

And Yo is out there hitting for himself at 107 pitches, awesome job Macha!

[trwi7]

I really hope Yo is now done. It was a nice quick inning, he has the lead, let the pen finish this out.

 

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it.

[thablingster]

I was thinking this would be the perfect time to let Gerut make an out and bring on Coffey, but eh. Hopefully we have Coffey up in case Yo runs into trouble.

[GB12]

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it.

Maybe he was just left in to hit.

[badgerfletch]

Macha just knew Yo would have the best at bat of the night ; )

[thablingster]

Yo got his retribution against Bucknor, now he got a hit. Nate McLouth is still annoying, Pirate or not.

[razzzorsharp]

For the life of me, someone needs to tell Macha that Yo is the SP that we need in future years and he should not abuse that arm. Melvin, Mark A., or even a player, I don't care, somone needs to tell Macha the days of 120 pitches everyday are gone.

[hawing]

Nate McLouth is still annoying, Pirate or not.

Yeah, though as a slight silver lining the Brewers don't see him as much as a Brave.

[stalton]

Regardless of opinions about Yo pitching 110+, its great to see the bullpen getting some relief

[thablingster]

As an old wrestling mark, I am still amused every time Coffey runs in to the Ultimate Warrior theme.

[DHonks]

Macha won't be here in August '10, so he doesn't care that Yo'll be on the DL then and in all of '11.

[DHonks]

Just looked. Yo has 20 starts. 9 with 100-109 pitches, 8 with 110+ pitches. I'm really convinced Macha's doing his best to turn Yo into the new Cal Elred.

[thablingster]

Nice job getting some insurance. Hopefully Stetter can come in and close this one down. Did anyone see Weeks in the bullpen hanging with McClung?

[DHonks]

agreed blingster, nice to tack on some runs for once.

 

With Seth out (it's a mixed blessing, he's an awful pitcher but I hope it's not serious), they really should consider sending Burns down and promoting Axford or Wooten to setup down the stretch. Villy should be the long man (and nothing more) until he stops giving up runs each time out

[ClubLevel]

nice win. can't wait to pick up a few of those jerseys when they do the auction in a few weeks.

[Brewer Fever]

I can't explain it, but I have the strongest sense that we are going to win this game tonight. Call it a gut feeling or whatever, I just feel a great all-around game coming from the Crew tonight.

Keeping the opponent completely off the board and playing good all-around fundamental baseball pretty much matches right up with what I envisioned going in.

[stalton]

Great Job by Yo and 'Pen...UNTUCKEM and lets get the series win tomorrow

Nice work, Brewer Fever. How are you feeling about Sunday's game?

 

Stop the madness! Win a series!
