IGT 8/15 Cards (Pinero: R 2-2 4.50) - Milw (Gallardo: R 4-2 4.20) 7:05

[brewerjamie15]

Joel Pinero gets the nod from Tony LaRussa for this evening. Pinero s currently 2-2 with an ERA of 4.50 in 46.0 innings of work. He has allowed 52 hits and 23 earned runs. He has fanned 26 and walked 16. Pinero is making his third start of the season tonight. Last time out was at home hosting SD where his went 7 complete innings, gave no earned runs, no walks, and scattered 4 hits.

 

Yovani Gallardo is up for Milwaukee tonight. Coming into this evening, he is 4-2 with an ERA of 4.20 and has 8 starts in 11 appearances. Gallardo has been quite reliable this year and an almost sure fired victory for the Crew when he's the starter. Unfortunately in his last start, he was lit up large. Gallardo gave up more runs (11) in that start than in his previous 7 appearances combined (9). Gallardo's 4 wins are deceiving as his bullpen has let him down more than one time. In 55.2 innings of work this season Yo has allowed 26 earnies, 4 dingers, 20 walks and has struck out 48.

Jamie, can you change the name of your topic because everytime someone uses an "@" symbol, it screws up the topic name on the forum page and displays the actual URL.

What happend to Woogie being the IGT director with all those great graphics? Has he dissapeared from the brewerfan.net nation?

 

Please Yo, recover big time from that horriable outing in CO.

Warning to those watching this game, Brewer hitters, and pitchers: The homeplate umpire will be Doug Eddings. Eddings has the most creative strike zone in baseball.

Ahh the earthquake strikezone. Outstanding. I wish Hall would get the day off over Hart. Don't care who you put in CF either Gross or Hart but ugh Hall is horrible and now I'm rambling.

[BrewCrewForever]

Ned why sit Hart and not Hall?

[Fatter than Joey]

Why not try a pitcher in the leadoff spot?

[brewtank34]

Pathetic line-up indeed. When does Fielder's suspension begin?

At least Yost doesn't have Mench in there. Lets hope that Gross can continue racking the ball as he was in AAA.

 

Here's an idea Ned....lets start a sub par line-up for Gallardo after he got rocked in his last outing....yeah, that will definitely give him a boost of morale. Ned...............YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck trying to find a job next year.

I'm pretty sure the batting lineup has zero affect on how well Yovani pitches.

Brewers lineup for tonight, ahhh ok

 

I wonder if Ned is putting the players' names in a Boggle-type shaker and thus generating near-random lineups.

 

The general lineup pattern for the Houston series just didn't make me shake my head like tonight's and last night's have.

[Ennder]

Lineup looks fine to me, Gross is generally decent for OBP and Weeks wrist is going to make him miss time, to be honest Counsell is probably an upgrade overall. I don't know why Hart is sitting but its not like he's been hitting well either so no real complaints.

EDIT: Let's keep the runs coming this evening.

When does Fielder's suspension begin?

http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/pimp.gif

Who knows... I think he will probably appeal it, then it has to be heard by Selig (that may take awhile) and then, if it upheld, he will serve it. It just depends on when Selig hears Prince's appeal.

 

[princeginterhallhelms04]

I am simply at a loss as to why Hart would be sitting. Hopefully this is not going to hurt us as much as I feel it is. Hopefully Gallardo bounces back from that performace the last time and the brewers can put together a string of innings with crooked numbers and hold the cardinals offense down.

Did not take ned long to put gross in to the lineup! But he's been raking in AAA so maybe that will correspond to tonite aganst Pinero!

[brettac1]

I love Gross leading off.

 

I'm about ready for Weeks to just go on the shelf for the rest of the year. He can't hit right now, neither can Counsell, but the defense is an upgrade. It's going to ride on Fielder/Braun/Jenkins the rest of the way, anyhow.

[SlideBernieSlide]

If this line-up can score runs in innings 3-7, I'll crown it "King of All 2007 Brewer Line-ups"!

[RU Rah Rah]

I dunno -- I guess someone has to bat first. Might as well be Gross.

 

Could we run a "Guess the Lineup" pool?

[Kpanz20]

What are the odds the brewers get a stolen base tonight without hart and weeks?

 

100,000 to 1 I say.

How bad would it be if Prince's suspension had to be served during the Cubs series at Wrigley? That would be the worst.

[dlk9s]

I dunno, forfeit lineups have worked in the past.

[tnweill]

According to Haudricourt's new blog, Gross' plane still has not arrived as of 6pm and has been replaced w/Hart in the leadoff spot. So the odds of a stolen base just increased dramatically.

[brewcrewnation]

There is a lineup change according to jsonline new Brewers blog is that Gabe Gross missed his flight and will not be there in time.
