2011-03-31 Brewers (Gallardo) at Reds (Volquez) [Brewers lose walkoff, 7-6]

[trwi7]

Now the ump has decided to randomly expand the strike zone.

[GormanHarvey]

Strike 3 to Rick was in. Gomez laced that liner to Rolen

[Invader3K]

Only one game, but I am liking Gomez's approach at the plate so far, even if the results haven't shown it (aside from the homer, obviously).

[GoudaBrew]

Not a fan of the new FS-WI score bug in the top left corner (or whatever you call it...)

How come? Too big? I don't like the flames that come up for a 95 mph heater, but it gives all the necessary info. for me.

[GormanHarvey]

I love watching Gomes make outs at the plate and give up extra bases in the field

Not sure really. Maybe I just need to get used to it. You are right...it does provide the info needed

[GormanHarvey]

Great approach by McGehee. Glad to see it because I was surprised to see him try to pull that outside curveball earlier in the AB

[GoudaBrew]

Back-to-back HRs to start the game, a blown call by the ump and now a balk (that gave us a run!). It's been an entertaining opening day so far.

[chadomac]

big run there. that run will make me feel a lot better the rest of this game. i've been nervous the whole time. because of yo's laboring it's kinda felt like we're stealing this one... even though that may seem weird.

[DHonks]

I don't mind the graphics for the FSN broadcast, but I really don't like the new mlb.com gamecast. I don't watch them for the visuals, but rather for the information (box score, pitchers' line, etc)

[chadomac]

kotsay's out of the game! hooray!

[endaround]

Now DS in Morgan please

[GormanHarvey]

kotsay's out of the game! hooray!

 

Word!

[PrinceEatMeat]

Smart move pinch-hitting for Kotsay. Almonte better not stay in to play RF though.

[DHonks]

I'd bat the pitcher in Kotsay's spot and put Morgan in the pitcher's spot. get the best defense out there

[GormanHarvey]

This is bad, but the service woman singing kind of looks like Steve Urkel

[theavrock]

Haha she did.

But dang could she sing.

[theavrock]

Morgan in the game in RF

[GormanHarvey]

Liking the moves by Roenicke!

[GoudaBrew]

Loe made Phillips look just silly.

 

edit: Not so much Votto

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Need to make sure Roenicke went to the home umpire first to properly make the double-switch. It's an NL thing, you know. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[endaround]

Loe vs LHers is a bad thing

[PrinceEatMeat]

And that's why you use your lefties. We have 8 guys in the pen with a day off tomorrow. Dumb not to.

[Klements Bratwurst]

Loe vs LHers is a bad thing

You were all over that a few weeks back when it was discussed whether or not Loe could start during Greinke's time away. Good call.

 

 

[LaprilOne]

Game one. Why the Kotsay hate?

 

The Braun on roids thing is idiotic, and a great example of inane trolling.
