2012-04-11 Brewers (Gallardo) at Cubs (Dempster), 1:20 PM CDT [Brewers win, 2-1]

[MVP2110]

already more than he had last year

 

He had 5 HRs last year.

 

My fault. For some reason I was thinking he only had 1. Must have mixed him and Gallardo's totals up

[Schlitz001]

"Manny Parra sits down"

 

So Kottaras effectively hit a grand slam

 

That's funny.

 

We have a pretty good backup catcher. Way better than Gary Bennett, no offense if Gary Bennett is reading this thread.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Gomez walking may be the most surprising thing to happen so far this season.

[fondybrewfan]

Now would be a good time to pinch hit Braun if he is available today.

[topper09er]

Aoki hits lefties better than righties, but if Aoki reaches we could use Hart for Morgan

[topper09er]

Now would be a good time to pinch hit Braun if he is available today.

 

You want an AB with RISP if possible

[dlk9s]

If I'm a pitcher, I throw low-outside pitches to Japanese hitters every time.

[dlk9s]

Holy god, this "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by John Grisham and Ernie Banks is THE WORST.

[chickinbrickin]

If I'm a pitcher, I throw low-outside pitches to Japanese hitters every time.

 

That is probably a good place to pitch anyone.

[topper09er]

Kot! he picked it up too fast, could have been a DP

[dlk9s]

If I'm a pitcher, I throw low-outside pitches to Japanese hitters every time.

 

That is probably a good place to pitch anyone.

 

True, true.

 

I say it because every Japanese player seems to step in the bucket like crazy, so when they swing at something low and away, they miss it by four inches.

[pebadger]

The Brewers have a ton of outs in this series that were hit better than the majority of the Cubs hits.

[PrinceEatMeat]

HUGE K!

[topper09er]

Pretty bad hanging slider on the K, Yo got lucky

[topper09er]

Yo is tired and missing his spots

 

edit: not on that last pitch to Byrd. He beared down nicely there after getting away with the hanger to Soto and that second pitch to Byrd

[dlk9s]

Sick third strike to Byrd there. Filth.

[PrinceEatMeat]

And another huge K!

[pebadger]

Big-time inning by Yo.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Fantastic job by Yo there to get out of that jam!

[GormanHarvey]

Way to get out of that jam, Yo! Great outing...way to bounce back! Let's get some insurance boys!

[chickinbrickin]

Glad to see Yo bounce back from the horrible first start. Let's go bats. I smell some Badger Mutual Insurance runs.

[Schlitz001]

In close games like this against the Cubs, it's nice to know that they have a huge lack of power in the lineup.

[topper09er]

KRod is so slow to the plate + Kot below average arm Castro should already be at 2nd

[dlk9s]

KRod is so slow to the plate + Kot below average arm Castro should already be at 2nd

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

EDIT: And there we go.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Not sure why Lucroy isn't in the game catching right now. He always was in these situations last year.
