Is Lucroy hurt? Nieves here doesn't make any sense.

[owbc]

I'm starting to get really tired of Gomez and his .277 OBP in the #2 spot. Corey Hart did great in the #2 slot last year, I do not understand why he is not hitting in front of Braun.

 

Putting that aside, tonight is a good time for Gallardo to return to ace form.

All I can think is that it's some sort of an attempt to get Gallardo going.

[The Truth]

I really don't get Nieves starting in this game. I have no doubt that there is some sort of logical reasoning behind that though. Maybe Lucroy caught the cold/flu that Narveson & Marcum had?

 

At least Gallardo is a good hitting pitcher, to help make up for Nieves' bat

I can see that. Not sure I agree with the move, but it's the only logical explanation I've seen so far.

[ilovebeer]

Time to get the ship righted tonight.

[ilovebeer]

I hope we have the goood Yo tonight, but i am not counting on that.

[fondybrewfan]

Now that we are facing four pitchers in ATL that we can't reasonably expect to crush the ball against we will probably win 3 out of 4 and score 40 runs in the series. That is just how the Crew rolls.

[ilovebeer]

nice start to the game nice hit Rickie.

[trwi7]

Bunting with no outs in the first inning.

[ilovebeer]

What a terrible at bat by Braun there.

[GormanHarvey]

Someone needs to tell Gomez that, although extremely fast, he is not going to get many bunt base hits by never bunting it down a line

[theavrock]

that hook was filthy mcnasty

[Raw Biz]

I know it's only been an inning but Yo looks a lot better already. That quicker windup seems to be working.

[derflotr]

Gallardo's stuff looks really sharp. EVERY park in the league should have this camera angle. It's perfect.

[bucksman4]

Very nice, crisp 1st inning for YoGa.

[davemakovec]

Yo is working fast, throwing first pitch strikes, and getting swings and misses. If he can keep this up (I just knocked on my wood desk), it could be a really good outing.

[ilovebeer]

wow nice inning for Yo.

[GormanHarvey]

It's official...McG is slower than Hardy

[fondybrewfan]

McGehee is really frickin slow. Prince would beat him in a foot race for sure

[trwi7]

Breaking news: Snail beats McGehee in a 40 yard dash

[Raw Biz]

I actually don't like this camera angle. Too high for me.

[ilovebeer]

Is anyone else kind of glad they did not sign Casey to a long term contract.

[derflotr]

At least Yuni turned the lineup over
