2009-08-04 Brewers (Gallardo) at Los Angeles (Kuroda) : 9:10 PM CT [Brewers lose, 17-4]

[Vgmastr]

Our starting infield against righties should have Lopez, Counsell, and McGehee. Hardy can start for Counsell when we face a lefty, but at this point I see no value to starting him over McGehee.

[pebadger]

Well, except that McGehee would be useless in about 8 days if he played that much since his knee would swell up to the size of a watermelon.

[Glennron]

Not that that inside slider to Martin was necessarily a strike, but the ump was much more liberal with Kuroda pitching in the top of the inning.

[Vgmastr]

He'd still be able to run faster than Hardy.

[BrewCityUnit]

Can we please erase that first inning? I am pretty down right now.....With the Cubs rolling, the Cards comeback and Yo not showing up in the 1st, tonight will be a tough night to bounce back from.

[davego]

Trenni can run faster then Jj.

[Funketown]

Why do I fear another 8 inning, 120 pitch outing from Yovani in a 4-0 game?

[Schlitz001]

Yeah, that second pitch to Hardy in the top half of the inning was one of the worst called strikes I've seen this year. It ended up 4 inches off the ground when Martin caught it.

[YoGasKpose]

Okay, Counsell, Braun, Fielder. Get it going!

[sauveb]

It's not very often that you see Counsell have that bad an at bat.

[Glennron]

Of all the times for Counsell to have a bad at bat.

 

Edit: Beat me to it.

[T B0NE 10]

Why can't we see this fan on the field? Was it a streaker or what?

 

Too bad Macha didn't bat Gallardo ahead of Hardy or Kendall. It woulda been nice last inning.

 

 

Prince really hits some bullets.

[YoGasKpose]

Atta way, Braunie.

 

Let's go, Prince.

 

At least the two guys in the lineup I trust are up with runners on.

 

As I type, Prince tacks on another! Here we go, Crew...

[jeffy]

Why can't we see this fan on the field?

Because it would encourage other idiots to run on the field.

[Mr QL]

Why didn't Fischer send Braun? Is that like his job?

[razzzorsharp]

Got three and back in it.

[panthernick]

Jj hardy has become an automatic out in clutch situations.

[Vgmastr]

Jj hardy has become an automatic out in clutch situations.

Fixed that for you.

[wibadgers23]

Lol Vgmastr. Anyway, it's great to be back in the game. And then Manny hits one out. Crap.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

WHY WHY WHY CALL FOR THE CURVE THERE?!

 

He hasn't handled the fastball in yet. Why call for the curve?

 

Glad Kendall handles the staff so well...

[T B0NE 10]

I'm so glad Brian Anderson had to comment on how Manny is in such a slump earlier in the game. Its MANNY RAMIREZ, the dude mashes.

 

I swear it's like Brian Anderson never watched a game of baseball before he got this job last year. He has no baseball IQ.

[panthernick]

Lol. Thanks for the fix.

[sauveb]

We need to break more bats if we're going to get a hit every time we break one.

[GoldGloveSS06]

Yikes...this is getting tough to watch now. Yo struggling on the mound and our bottom of the order really struggling.

[YoGasKpose]

Loretta's two-run double might be the season low-point for me, but after listening to Uecker handle drunk Tommy LaSorda I still feel pretty good.
