2011-04-22 Astros at Brewers - [Brewers win, 14-7; pre- and post-game audio at tail end of thread]

Gallardo should be our first RH PH option off the bench. No blue needed.

[crewcrazy]

Just to confirm, Yuni is in the last year of his contact, right?

He has an option year, but the Royals included all the necessary cash to buy him out.

[bucksman4]

Fielder wants a longterm deal from Milwaukee?

He had his chance and turned his nose up to the type of deal Braun just received. So long, big fella.

[razzzorsharp]

Yo doesn't seem to be on tonight. Be nice if he could get through 6 with only 4 ER.

[crewcrazy]

Prince has always wanted a long-term deal with the Brewers. It was just a matter of the Brewers giving him what he wanted in terms of money. I don't know how many of these "WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR FIELDER!?!" stories from the national media. He was gone before the Braun extension, and he's still gone.

 

Gallardo is still really struggling with his control, but it's amazing that he only has 1 walk tonight. That's probably a part of the problem tonight -- he's not giving in, and instead is leaving pitches in the zone that are being hit.

[razzzorsharp]

That's the third chance (all should have been made) at a double play. all have failed.

[Mr QL]

betancourt did something good yay

[razzzorsharp]

Oh man, this place would be exploding if this was happening to the Crew's defense.

[Oxy]

Holy smokes. There is something to be said for having sure handed fielders, even if they have little range. As frustrating as it is, it is far less so than watching a little league team like the Astros throw it around the yard. It's been nothing short of atrocious.

Game cast is struggling w this one, what happened ?

[strawbossisevil]

Was that Greinke in the dugout? Isn't he supposed to be in Nashville? Did I miss something?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Wow...amazing there is a team with a worse D than the Brewers. It's not even close.

Ball hit by Yuni got under 3B's glove, but it was a play that probably should've been made. Ball goes into LF, where Carlos Lee promptly bobbles the ball while trying to pick it up. Bill was wondering if two errors could be given on the play.

[jason21nl]

There really should have been 2 errors on the play. That was one terrible inning.

 

and now Betancourt gets credit for a single...generous scoring decision

Yes, they showed him earlier. Idk when his next start is? Maybe he asked to be with the team between starts.

He doesn't pitch until Sunday. He was taking BP and apparently hitting bombs today.

[stoutdude04]

I would like to see Yo throw a few more fastballs. It seems like hes been throwing a lot of breaking stuff tonight.

[TheCrew07]

The FB that struck out Hall was 96 on the FSN gun, nothing wrong with Yo's arm.

[razzzorsharp]

Weeks could have maybe made that play.

[crewcrazy]

FSN's gun is always a couple ticks hot. Pitch f/x has Gallardo's high tonight at 93.8, which is a little above average for him.

[stoutdude04]

3 games postponed tonight....one of them in Minnesota. If a team builds a new stadium they should be required to build a roof. Retractable or something...

[razzzorsharp]

Get Gallardo out. 108 pitches and counting.

[jason21nl]

Get Gallardo out. 108 pitches and counting.

after he hits!

[bucksman4]

Instead of riding the bus and staying in a Nashville hotel, Greinke wants to stay with the big league club as much as possible. He goes out to the city where he's rehabbing the night before the game then hopping on the first flight back to rejoin the big league club.

[razzzorsharp]

Nice ball four to Gallardo to finish his night.
