SB Nation Coverage
You knew the Brewers were due to win one like this eventually. After finding new ways to lose nearly every day for months, the Brewers got the game tying run tonight on a home run from their starting pitcher (Gallardo's second of the season), and two insurance runs on a broken-bat home run for George Kottaras.
Yovani Gallardo had another great performance tonight, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and four walks in seven innings, striking out four. He also got on base twice, once via HBP and again via his home run. He threw 114 pitches on the night, only 68 of them for strikes.
At the plate, Carlos Gomez went 2-for-4, walked, stole his seventh base and drove in Casey McGehee with both singles. Prince Fielder and George Kottaras each went 2-for-4 with a walk and a home run, while Corey Hart went 0-for-2 but drew two walks.
As bad as the Brewers looked in the first two games of this series, they could still salvage a split with a win tomorrow night. See you back here in the morning!

Do you think I'd get in trouble for holding up a sign that says "POPPYCOCK" at Miller Park?

I think you'd be awesome if you did that
Just make sure its a huge blowup of nullacct’s picture with the monocle and all.

poppycock must be moved to the top of the picture though
otherwise the cameras might not see it.
could tag the bottom brewcrewball or nullacct
Watching the on field interview with Fielder...
… does he have a tatoo on the back of his left hand or is that a giant, ugly bruise?
Someone with DVR go back and look at it. I’ve got it paused on the image right now and I can’t tell for sure one way or the other.

It's a tatoo...
of what, I could not say…It extends up his arm

He has a tattoo on his left arm
of his right arm, just to confuse the pitcher

I might be late to the party on this...
… but I’m starting to worry about the way Gallardo’s being used. 114 pitches isn’t terrible, but…

Sorry this may not belong here, but I will do it anyway!
From Let’s Go Tribe!:
With two outs in the ninth, Jason Donald hit a weak grounder to the right of first baseman Miguel Cabrera. Cabrera fielded the ball and tossed it to Galarraga, who was already at first base. Armando made the catch, then Jason Donald’s foot hit the bag. Donald was called safe by first base umpire Jim Joyce. The call was not a bang-bang play; the throw beat Donald by a full step. When Joyce flung his arms outward, the emotions on the field shifted from the heights of exhilaration to the depths of shock in an instant. A couple seconds later, when everyone had been able to process what had happened, shock turned to anger. A clearly blown call had ruined what should have been baseball’s twenty-first perfect game. It was the umpire equivalent of Bill Buckner letting the ball go through his legs in the 1986 World Series.
I will FanShat this if there needs to be discussion of this, since this is the Brewer’s Post Game thread.

Except Bucker's unfortunately-timed mistake cost him the World Series
Is a perfect game really that different than hitting for the cycle? I mean, yeah it’s rare, but Galarraga pitched an equally great game whether or not he got Donald to ground out in the ninth. Perfect games are awesome oddities, but they’re not the World Series.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
Yeah I understand what you are saying.
I guess it depends on how they justify the comparison and what measurement of “equivalence” they are using here. Nothing compares to a World Series as that is the pinnacle of your season. But I guess they are just suggesting the magnitude of the error is equivalent, player vs. umpire.
This will be replayed forever.

It's rare
in sports to have an outcome in which no one is happy. This is one of those times. Joyce made an absolutely horrendous call in the one of the worst possible situations. However, you have to respect the way he handled it after the game. He admitted his mistake to the media, and apologized in person to the Tigers. Hopefully a small amount of good will come out of this and baseball will realize that selective instant replay can improve the game.
Get well soon Ueck
It can't.
One blown call that doesn’t impact the game shouldn’t usher in a new wave of robot overlords.
Shruggity.
Interesting they used a player in the analogy
Since there was a pretty big blown call at first base in the WS before that one.
