PrintYahoo! Another spring game on FSWisconsin! Watch today as former prospects Matt LaPorta and Michael Brantley take on the Brewers at Maryvale.
Follow the jump for a treasure chest full of goodies!
Or maybe just the lineups and pitching matchups.
Yovani Gallardo (13-12, 3.73 ERA in 2009) starts for the Crew today hoping to bounce back from a bit of a rough outing last time out. Yo has given up only three runs this spring but they all came in the first inning of last Wednesday's game in the form of a three-run homer. This is Gallardo's fourth start so look to for him to pitch about four innings.
He'll be taking on lefty David Huff (11-8, 5.61 ERA in 2009). Huff was the Indians' first round pick in the 2006 draft and had a pretty good minor league career. However he spent the majority of last year with the big league club and the results weren't all together positive. So far in spring action he has a 1.80 ERA.
Today's lineups:
Weeks 2B
Escobar SS
Braun LF
Fielder 1B
Edmonds CF
Zaun C
Hart RF
Heether 3B
Gallardo RHP
And the Indians:
Brantley CF
Valbuena 2B
LaPorta 1B
Kearns RF
Chisenhall 3B
Redmond C
Rodriguez SS
Gimenez LF
Huff LHP
Go Brewers!

Anyone have the game listed on their guide on DTV? Mine is blank. MLBN has it, but it’s on an hour delay.

I don't think it will affect him this year,
he had the surgery much earlier this time.

That is weird
Because the Brewers ST hat has the normal logo on it.
I wonder if they are trying to go with a retro logo so they can transition away from Chief Wahoo.

He's not a good looking man..
But I’m on the Edmonds train. He made some amazing throws in the games I saw. On target, one hop to home.
He hasn't aged well.

Yep
Four of the eight hits were for extra bases, including a home run.
And the pitcher who replaced him worked 1-2-3.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
So, he was at least 3 pitches away from working out of it?

From A's beat writer Susan Slusser's Twitter:
Sheets: “I know people have had bad springs but this is taking it to a whole new level.”
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Also
Chris Dickerson, who had two hits off Sheets, now needs a triple for the cycle in the third inning.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Really?
I thought he was good for one of those every spring since there will be outings where he doesn’t throw his curve at all. But my memory does suck…
He probably has a rough outing from time to time.
But I think if he’d been this terrible at some point, we’d remember.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
I also think that I may possibly recall a ST start
right before the season started one year where he got shellacked. I will search my memory banks.
I hate this Miller Lite commercial.
Several problems with it:
1) If my dog and a person are hanging off a cliff, I’m going to save the dog first, because I’m not sure how he’s hanging on. He doesn’t have opposable thumbs.
2) Even if he was safely hanging on, you should save the dog, because no one who makes you choose between them and your dog is worth keeping around.
3) The correct answer to all the questions might actually be “Neither. I’ll wait for Batman to come save you both.”
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Obviously you go for the dog first.
Especially if its a bulldog like in the commercial. They’re much lighter that a person so you save the dog first and then go for the other person. Try to limit your losses.

Who needs opposable thumbs?
When you have ultra-grip lobster claws. Your dog should be saving everyone & everything.
If Gorman still had the lobster claws, no one and nothing in my house would be safe.

He performs well when being heckled.
I remember a few Cubs fans jawing at him from behind the dugout at MP a few years ago. I think he hit 2 Homers that game and pointed at them after at least one of them, if not both.

So this Gallardo kid might be ok
He just might be good enough to supplant Suppan as the opening day starter.

lemme guess
balls always divisible by 4. I’ll bet that wild pitches are even marked as being on a strike of the AB.
by PagsBrewCrew on Mar 15, 2010 4:15 PM CDT up reply actions
not all pitches are counted in ST gameday.
K = 3 strikes 0 balls
BB = 0 strikes 4 balls
H = 1 strike 0 balls
Out = 1 strike – balls
not sure what a HBP looks like, probably 0 strikes 1 ball.

Given the fact that Dillard was an extreme outside shot to make this team, and is working on a new delivery
I’m pretty surprised to see him still in camp and warming to pitch in a Cactus League game.

2009 draft pick, but he’s older than your normal draft pick, so I think they’re letting him take the Axford route, challenging him and seeing what happens. IIRC, he jumped two levels in 2 months last year.
