9/5/2007: Astros (Albers) at Brewers (Gallardo), 7:05pm CT

Ok, what's the deal with the bag of water?

[jaybird2001wi]

Fielder needs to hit 7 more homers to catch ARod, he hit two in the seventh inning tonight bringing his season total to 48.

[Trowekamp]

Yo is pitching a gem. I let him pitch till the 100 mark. Can't hurt his confidence especially after those terrible outings he had.

What is better for his confidence than leaving the game giving up 0 runs.. I say let the rag arms finish up.. that would actually have some decent comedy value.

 

I don't know, the antiquated notion that if a pitcher is kicking butt you let him finish it up. You think he wants to leave the game to he rag arms?

 

 

No.. I don't but if it means not skipping him and skipping Bush instead with the off day I take the option of pulling after 5.. maybe the plan is to skip Yo this turn so Yost is letting him go.. which in that case I don't argue with.. I just prefer Yo starting over Suppan and Bush

[brewcrewnation]

What a great game we have tonight, i much rather have a blowout than a close game.

[brewcrewnation]

Yo is at 81 pitches

I guess it keeps mosquitoes away somehow.

Definitely see your point. I just don't see Yost skipping a guy though. Especially Soup considering his contract. Maybe Bush

 

[brewcrewnation]

LETS GO DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!

[Trowekamp]

I think is is funny how Joba Chamberlain gets all this press (yes.. he threw another scoreless tonight) and he is 5 months older than Yo who is starting on a playoff team and not just throwing an inning every now and then.. Maybe Yo needs to change his name to Yoba

[brewcrewnation]

Pittsburg 6 St Louis 2 top 4

[brewcrewnation]

Billy is in the game.

[jaybird2001wi]

My guy Rottino replacing Prince. Rottino needs to make the best of this game to show what he has in the Majors.

[iluvlamp]

bye bye! i love homers:)

[jaybird2001wi]

12-0

Billy!

[pitchleague]

meatball for Billy. He BETTER hit that one out.

 

Hope it gets him going

[Trowekamp]

Billy has got to look around in the field and think he got demoted to Nashville with all the subs playing.

[Mr QL]

There ya go Billy. These are the kind of games I like.

 

How about a Ray King comedy inning?

[brewcrewnation]

BILLY!!!!!!!!!! HOMERUN 12-0

[thablingster]

Bill Hall sees your pitch and has crushed it immediately.

[zachlaka]

WAY TO GO BILLY

[jaybird2001wi]

Anyone know anything about air pressure? Is the weather and hazy conditions a factor in this drubbing?

[rluzinski]

I think Hall would like to get back into the everyday starting lineup.

[brewcrewnation]

Geoff with this 3rd hit and leaves the game

[zachlaka]

Nice one as well Estrada

[Trowekamp]

Have I mentioned that Felipe Paulino is my new favorite pitcher of all time? Sure Nolan Ryan was great but come one he never brought me the amount of happiness in such a short time as Felipe..

 

Wasn't there some award last year we handed out for pitcher's who had games like this?
