Gamethread #144 RIP Marty

Tiny by sheeter on

Tonight the Crew sends out Yovani Gallardo against Brian Bullington for Pittsburg.

With a small sample size warning, I can tell you this: While Bullington gives up 5 runs every three innings, he also gets a hit EVERY TIME HE BATS!!!!

Anyhow, Your Milwaukee Brewers:

Weeks 2B
Gross LF
Braun 3B
Fielder 1B
Hart CF
Jenkin LF
Estrada C
Hardy SS
Gallardo P

Note to the Nedder: Pitch around this Bullington guy- he hasn't made an out this whole year!

Go Brewers!!

will he
drive in more runs than he allows? I say yes

Close
He had more hits than runs allowed which is still pretty impressive.

Was it a hit and run?
It'd be a bit more understandable then.

Don't think so
I was a litte distracted, but I think that it was just bad judgement by Weeks.  It was a sinking liner that looked like it had a chance to drop, but with no outs he has to be sure on that.

by sheeter on Sep 11, 2007 6:15 PM CDT up reply actions  

First inning
I was surprised Rickie got on base without drawing a walk and then I was surprised by him, of all people, getting doubled off first on a line drive to center. Maybe the team can keep surprising me with two blowout wins here.

So did Johnny Estrada suddenly think
his arms were 10 feet long when he swung at that pitch?

Ok.  Cheap shot.  But it's probably as fair as posting those hilarious photos of Soriano swinging at a ball that bounced 10 feet in front of the plate.

Laroche reminds me of me when he strikes out...
... I got hit by a pitch when I was 8 and I was scared of the ball.  I spent about 15 games of my first little league season after getting hit staring at pitches hoping they'd get to 4 balls before they got to 3 strikes.  Then I'd make irritated faces at the ump everytime he called a strike, even when it was right down the middle.

Sort of like Laroche just did.  He did the same thing last night too...
