Tom Gorzelanny


2-3 | 3.56

Gorzelanny struggled with his command in his last start on Wednesday against the Mets, walking five over 5 2/3 innings. He did fan seven, though, and gave up three runs in a losing effort.

Yovani Gallardo


5-2 | 4.70

Gallardo had a rough start in Washington back on April 17, when he surrendered a pair of three-run homers in the opener of a doubleheader. The 2010 All-Star has yet to find a prolonged rhythm.

Time to keep the momentum going. We owe them big time from April. We've hit Gorzelanny pretty hard at MP, let's hope that continues tonight. And that Yo finally finds his form from last year.

 

These next six games are really huge I think. We're riding the 3 game winning streak, the thought/power of the Prince walkoff still fresh in peoples minds. Six home games against Washington and SF...gotta get at least 4 of them.

Just a heads up, I think this is the mlb.tv free game of the day! (at least i was told that)

 

We really need to get after a lesser team in this series and this is a great opportunity for YoGa to show his stuff. You are right we do owe them and we need to keep the foot on the gas here.

I'd much rather see Gomez batting 7th than 8th.

 

The issue I have with in the 8 hole is that it takes away one of his few good traits - the ability to steal bases. If he gets on with the pitcher up, the pitcher isn't likely to take pitches so he can steal second. They're going to try to get the sac down, which moves him to second but takes away his only good asset. Unless we're going to let the pitcher swing or Gomez can go on the first pitch or maybe two, you're severly limiting the options for him to swipe second base, which is one of the very few things he can actually do very well.

 

Aside from that, I'm really liking it.

I would probably agree. When Gomez was on first yesterday with Wolf up, I would've liked to have seen him steal second and then bunt him over. But the bunt was laid down on the first or second pitch and he didn't attempt a steal. Although if you bat Yuni 8th, he would probably still be swinging at the first pitch anyway so there wouldn't be a chance to steal there either. So actually, the pitcher may be more likely to take pitches over Yuni. Regardless, Gomez isn't in the 2 hole so that's good.

This is Jack Burton in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there.

Wolf got the sac down on the first pitch, didn't even give him the chance to steal.

 

For me, this is one of the few scenarios that it actually makes some sense to bat the pitcher 8th and Gomez 9th.

 

You may be right though, Yuni in the 8 hole could be ugly.

Lucroy always looked like someone to me, but I could never place it. Tonight it finally dawned on me, he looks like Toby Maguire.

 

Random but did anyone else notice that Werth is wearing knee pads under his pants?

Stunning isn't nearly strong enough. Unthinkable. Unfathomable.................

 

That is a disgusting lineup. And they'll probably own Gallardo.
