The difference between the Brewers and the Pirates in one at bat. Would our #3 hitter ever have a pitch sequence like Brandon Moss just had?
ReplyDeleteBall, Ball, Ball, Called Strike, Called Strike, Called Strike.
Wow Gallardo is putting on a clinic. Nine up and nine down on 32 pitches.
ReplyDeleteI wish he had been hitting 8th last inning.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, Jason Kendall with two guys on!
ReplyDeleteJason Kendall is 1000% worthless. Why couldn't he have broken his leg?
ReplyDeleteHe really handles pitchers well. Calls a good game, you know. Gritty too. Fuckinay right he is, oh yeah.
ReplyDeleteI am starting to develop an irrational hatred for Kendall. When can we finally stop having to watch this guy hit? Ben Sheets was less embarrassing with the bat.
ReplyDeleteHow is your hatred irrational? I mean, I don't hate Jason Kendall as a person. Could be a great guy. Salt of the earth. I just hate his complete lack of hitting ability.
ReplyDeleteThere is one additional problem that I have with Kendall's personality. His insistence on catching more than anyone else has almost certainly made him even more worthless at the plate.
Salt is gritty.
ReplyDeleteI lol'ed.
ReplyDeleteis this game on tv for anyone? it's not on the extra innings package for some godforesaken reason...
ReplyDeleteHe's good at baseball, this Gallardo fellow
ReplyDeleteYo hits a lot of home runs. Why on earth do we not have him bat 7th or 8th when he plays?
ReplyDelete128 pitches and he's still in there? Wouldn't we be calling for Macha's head if he did this to one of ours?
ReplyDeleteYo is looking quite acey.
ReplyDeleteIt is a crying shame this isn't on TV. I'd watch the FSN evening replay they do of day games to watch Gallardo throw this gem. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteYES! Above 500. These guys are looking alright!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pittsburgh Pirates. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBut no TV? That ain't cool.
cubs are down 3-0 in the 2nd.
ReplyDeleteThis day keeps getting better. Now it's 4-0!
ReplyDeleteFeels great to be above .500 again.
The game was on MLB.TV, but the announcer was doing the game via video. It was really weird having no ambient noise in the background while he talked.
