[sheethead]

Haven't all the managers received the memo from Tony? Batting the pitcher 8th is over with.

[Invader3K]

Gallardo's last start was quite a bit better than his first two, so hopefully he can continue to step it up a bit. Duke will be tough, but hopefully the Brewers can come out scoring early again like last night.

[The Truth]

Looking forward to watching this game... glad to see Gomez back in the starting lineup

Gallardo's last start was quite a bit better than his first two

Why does everyone keep acting like Gallardo was awful in his first start? His first start was by far his best.

 

First start: 7 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 5 K

Second start: 5 IP, 5 H, 6 ER, 2 BB, 5 K

Third start: 6 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 4 BB, 5 K

Im not. He might be far better in center but it hurts to watch him hit.

[dikapalooza]

I'd really like to see Escobar and Gomez switch spots in this lineup, at least until Gomez takes one single walk.

[bthurley19]

No HD from Dish Network again, this is starting to anger me.

[dikapalooza]

I thought Carlos was going to make me eat my words there. Nope, swings at ball 4

[zzzmanwitz]

Gomez didn't get one strike in the AB...

[zzzmanwitz]

That a boy Braunie! 1-0 Crew!

[ilovebeer]

Braun really put a charge into that homerun.

[dikapalooza]

I wonder if a day off for Prince would get him back on track. I wouldn't do it, just wondering. Anyone else think so?

[crewcrazy]

Tom H is reporting Prince has a sore hand.

After seeing him punch the bench a few times after striking or popping out this year, I'm completely shocked to hear this news.

[ilovebeer]

[zzzmanwitz]

Yovani was squeezed on that AB to McCutchen. He made some great pitches there.

[dikapalooza]

Anyone have Pitch F/X up? Did that really miss?

[zzzmanwitz]

Anyone have Pitch F/X up? Did that really miss?

 

Both pitch #2 and pitch #5 were strikes.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Didn't he look out?

[endaround]

It was close, if Escobar brought the glove down to the bag and forced McCutcheon to slide into the glove he would have been out but he tagged him on the leg.

[dikapalooza]

Let's go, Yo, don't give anything up here. Pirates lineup isn't exactly Murderer's Row

[zzzmanwitz]

Too... many... pitches...

[dikapalooza]

Too... many... pitches...

 

 

I was just thinking that

[ilovebeer]

26 pitches is to many for one inning.

[bthurley19]

So here is the response from Dish Network on why there is no HD broadcast tonight available on Dish:

 

" fox sport decided not to provide us with the HD version of the game"

 

Don't know how much I buy that, but at least it's an answer.
