Where is everyone tonight? 2 innings in..no posts? Gallardo looking somewhat better tonight with his control. Offense 0-2 already with RISP.

[3and2Fastball]

Love watching Gallardo at the plate. He always gets his hacks. He swings the way "Joe Average-Fan" (like myself) would if given a chance

[TURBO]

Alex Gonzalez = Waste of roster space.

 

No hustle, just a worthless addition to our roster.

[TURBO]

Bill S. just said Segura is feeling good, STARTING to see the baseball...

[brwrsfan]

Another rope for Ramirez goes for an out, another out with RISP. Where was that LF playing that he caught that?? Frustrating.

 

Completely unrelated, but I'm also watching the Heat/Bulls game and I really hate Lebron James. Stop whining already, you get virtually every call as it is.

[brwrsfan]

So while Yo looks better tonight, curveball looks much sharper, he's still not being even remotely efficient.

 

Pirates have had only 3 baserunners in 3 innings, which isn't horrible, but Yo is already at 59 pitches. So once again, on pace for 5, maybe 6 innings.

[markedman5]

Yo has really never been efficient so not sure why you would expect him to start at this advanced stage of his career.

 

So we are at 10 consecutive scoreless innings now........

 

OK Luc...that's a start....

[Menotti80]

That was a nasty bruise on that gal's arm. Holy Cow

[brewdude15]

[sarcasm]I'm feeling a Rickie base knock here.[/sarcasm]

 

 

EDIT: Forgot sarcasm font.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

rickie weeks is the most useless baseball player in the world right now. very clutch at bat from weeks. we need a deep fly and weeks hits an infield fly

[markedman5]

or not.....

 

wow.....runner on 3rd and nobody out and 2 pop ups.....

[brwrsfan]

Yo has really never been efficient so not sure why you would expect him to start at this advanced stage of his career.

 

So we are at 10 consecutive scoreless innings now........

 

OK Luc...that's a start....

 

I'm not expecting any different, just pointing out a fact. We needed him to go deep tonight to help the bullpen out a little and it's not looking like it's going to happen.

 

Way to waste the leadoff triple. Man are we struggling with RISP. Hard to watch right now.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

lol why do they keep showing those kids? leave them alone. gonzalez sucks

[markedman5]

At this rate we are going to be over 10 games back by the time we get back to Miller Park....nothing like putting yourself in a deep deep hole before Memorial Day......

[brewdude15]

That was a nasty bruise on that gal's arm. Holy Cow

 

Saw that as well. Thought either the picture on my TV was taking a poop (which would be a shame since it's not even a year old) or I was hallucinating.

 

Pittsburgh must have a new "Fight Club" attraction at the ballpark this season. Except nobody knows about it since, well...you know.

[markedman5]

Another nice play by Jean.....did anyone notice that Gonzalez didn't know how many outs there were? I mean I don't want to pile on the guy but if you are going to suck at least have your head in the game....

 

Ok I guess that was piling on.....=)

[brwrsfan]

It's really not piling on when it's all true

 

With how good our top of the order has been, the fact that we're not scoring many runs really really illustrates how horrible the rest of the lineup has been.

 

Anyone else hate Brandon Inge? I have for years.

[dlk9s]

DFA Segura

[brewdude15]

Nice quick inning for Gallardo. Let's get some runs now, eh?

[brwrsfan]

Is Wandy pitching well or are the Brewers bats just struggling? Sure looked like both Braun and Ramirez had very, very hittable pitches that inning.

 

FYI Turbo, I'm back in the chat room.

[The stache]

So Yo's throwing a one hitter, and we can't score.

 

When it rains, it pours. The Pirates are supposed to be our cure all, aren't they?

[brwrsfan]

Nice pitch on 0-2 there Yo. Sure seems like we give up a lot of those.

 

And now a wild pitch/passed ball to put him on third. Almost like we're trying to give them a run here. No way I'd let McCutchen get a hit here, pitch around him and setup the double play.

[TURBO]

After being swept by the Reds, it was asinine for anyone to proclaim this an easy series, just because it was the Pirates. Every time I saw that, I cringed.

[brewdude15]

And here comes the pain....
