Gallardo has 9 Ks inless than 4ip, and I have to leave
I’m also going to kill my father
I don't hate Kendall like everybody else, I'm a non-conformist like that.

Gallardo threw 126 pitches last game
And 91 today. Would it be crazy to pull him after 5?
by grant76 on May 31, 2009 2:48 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
No, especially because he hasn't been sharp at all the past 2 innings.

They may have him pitch one more
and then pinch hit in the 6th.

Why would you pinch hit for Yovani?

So, I haven't been able to watch the game until now
I did hear Gallardo go 2-0 on everyone and his mother, though. What’s going on? Tight zone? Seems like he’s getting a lot up, too; is he?

Doesn't seem like a tight zone to me.
Yovani just didn’t have his best command today.

Who foresaw Owings going more than an inning longer than Gallardo today?

I thought Owings only went 5.2?
Gallardo had 5.1

Stetter faced five batters, right?
If so, this outing is tied for his second longest of the season.
He faced seven batters on 5/5, when he went 1.1 innings and allowed two runs on a hit and two walks.

There is a distinct top 9 for attendance this year
The Brewers are part of that group at 9th at the moment but there is a reasonable chance that they could end up ahead of Boston by the end of the season. It is bodes well for the team to remain competitive if they can keep people coming to the games.

The bullpen
has been really, really impressive. Julio excluded. But as I recall he hasn’t been too bad lately. Someone should do a “best bullpen in MLB” post. Not me, of course. I’m not qualified to do that kind of thing…
