TRADE GALLARDO

I hate watching Yo when he nibbles like this.

I hate watching Yo when he nibbles like this.

No kidding, it's like pulling teeth. But some of these pitches are awfully close and the ump is calling them balls.

[cadillacjosh]

Tough game so far. But its only the 2nd and The Crew definitely has the ability to get this game back. Need a run this inning.

It appears that I cannot watch (but I can listen to) the game with MLB TV due to blackout restrictions. This is particularly frustrating because the local Fox station is showing M's vs Rangers (not the Brewers). So far MLB TV is pretty disappointing.... No nationally televised games and no HD for Windows 7 users.

I totally agree. Although this game wouldn't be on Extra Innings either. Still pretty frustrating though. I will never understand MLB's blackout rules. How do you blackout a "national broadcast"when there are multiple "national broadcasts" being broadcasted all over the country?

[Oldcity]

Eric Karros: It's not a platoon situation right now; Jim Edmonds is the starter.

 

Hey Eric, Hart has started against every lefty. What exactly would you call that?

[trwi7]

Hart saw 10 pitches in that at bat. The other five hitters saw a total of 15.

[BrewCrewForever]

Karros and Stockton are terrible. Probably the worst team of the Fox baseball announcers. And that includes Buck and McCarver.

Basically, if the game you want to watch is during Saturday afternoon, you're screwed.

 

I loved it sometimes last year when the Brewers played a 1:05 ET game on Saturday. Games are blacked out if they start after 1:10pm, so the 5 minutes allowed those games to be televised.

[Invader3K]

I was just saying Hart had a good at bat, in the chat room. That last strike looked kind of borderline, at least on TV.

[dlk9s]

Stockton keeps calling Ludwick "Ludwig."

 

I agree with you. Buck and McCarver are annoying, but at least they know what they're doing and what they're talking about.

[Oldcity]

See what happens when you don't fall behind Yo?

[uwisfan]

yeah the ump is not doing us any favors today. Hart may have looked at that third strike, but Yo put that in the same spot a few times for balls

I swear Stockton doesn't paying attention to any of the games he calls. And when he does, he either doesn't know the players' names or calls them by the wrong name. I really wish he would stop calling baseball and basketball games.

[dlk9s]

I'm no pitching coach, but I did pitch at one point in my life, so I at least have a teeny tiny bit of knowledge on the subject. It seems like when Yo gets wild, he misses up a lot. And when he misses up, it appears to me that he's not following through on his delivery enough. Basically, what I'm seeing with my amateur eye is that his release point ends up too high and on too much of an upward angle.

 

I love him, though. Everybody has bad innings/games sometimes.

[Oldcity]

Couple good ABs from Hart and Zaun. At least they're making this guy work... Let's string something together.

[BrewCrewForever]

I don't think Gallardo wanted to get that bunt down, not much effort. And then he swings terrible at the last pitch.

[BrewCrewForever]

We got a hit!

[T B0NE 10]

Does anyone think Zaun would've scored from 2nd on that? Me neither. So shut up, Karros.

I was thinking the same exact thing... Plus that was a bullet right at the left fielder. Anybody would have a hard time scoring on that from 2nd.

[trwi7]

Does anyone think Zaun would've scored from 2nd on that? Me neither. So shut up, Karros.

[Oldcity]

Exactly. Karros is as bad as anyone.

[Oldcity]

Second situation in as may days that I hate Carlos Gomez hitting second.

[rluzinski]

Does anyone think Zaun would've scored from 2nd on that? Me neither. So shut up, Karros.

I was thinking the same thing but announcers are too budy trying to prove themselves right about everything to report reality.

[T B0NE 10]

Gomez just has a terrible approach at the plate. I'd like to switch him and Escobar in the lineup.

[Ennder]

Looking at Gameday out of the 8 pitches Gomez saw there only 2 were for strikes. I think he should stay in the lineup for his glove but I just can't see him staying in the 2 spot.
