Win Expectancy Graph
If you watched all nine innings of this game, you deserve a medal. Last night's game finished in 2 hours and 10 minutes. By the time the 130 minute mark was reached tonight, the game was in the fifth inning. All told, tonight's game lasted 3 hours and 41 minutes, the team's longest nine-inning game of the season.
Yovani Gallardo could not fool anyone early, allowing four consecutive hits to start the game. He struggled through 2 2/3 innings, allowing ten hits and six runs (five earned). Todd Coffey recorded one out before Chris Capuano struggled through three innings in relief, allowing four more runs on six hits. David Riske gave up two more runs in his inning before Trevor Hoffman threw a scoreless frame. Joe Inglett made an otherwise lifeless game exciting by taking the mound in top of the ninth inning. He was the first Brewers position player to pitch in a game since Trent Durrington in 2004. He threw six pitches, all 52-56mph knuckleballs, and set three Reds down in order.
Gallardo did stay in the game long enough to hit his fourth home run of the season and the eighth of his short career. Rickie Weeks also homered for the third consecutive game, giving him 22 on the year. Alcides Escobar and Prince Fielder added doubles to the cause but the Brewers couldn't score against the Reds' bullpen, which allowed just two hits over 5 1/3 innings.

I have nothing to offer
Except a picture of Tony LaRussa sinking in quicksand.

It's become cliche' but I'm rec'ing this
I was disappointed with the lack of hookers but the pancakes were delightful
I feel like we need a picture of Suppan as "Survivorman"

I wasn't watching
Were Inglett’s pitches really knuckleballs, or did Gameday call them that because it had no idea what to do with them?
someone should DVR->youtube that
call it “joe the piglett itches” or something so the MLB doesn’t immediately remove it

Why not just watch the mlb.com video?

Maybe he should play first base instead. That is, he should lie out there and we can step on him when we get a hit.
just did that actually
firstly, I didn’t know it was there until I looked:P
secondly, MLB never shows the whole at-bat. just the final pitch. Did the other pitches make the batters look silly? or did the pitches just look silly?
P.S. “Silly” is my nephews’ favorite word.

Silly
Inglett looked like he was basically just trying to get it over the plate. No one swung and missed at any of them. Phillips and Cabrera both watched their first pitch go over the plate for a strike, and Votto watched one go outside for a ball. I think in total, Inglett threw six pitches in the inning.
I think Phillips was embarrassed that he popped out because as soon as he hit it, he turned around, put his head down and walked to the dugout… even though the ball was in fair territory.
BTW – I went to the game, and it wasn’t pleasant at all. It was hot and humid, the Brewers got crushed and some idiots were throwing peanut shells at us from above.

Also
Did the camera guys show a bunch of high school girls in the upper deck? They had their t-shirts rolled up and were dancing through at least half the game. I’m guessing they were girls because I cannot imagine any self-respecting 20+ year old woman would do that… at least not at Miller Park. Mardi Gras? Different story.

Not sure.
One of the guys I was with at the game took a picture of them on his camera. We were pretty far away (one level down and about five sections over), so I’m not sure how well it will turn out.

Quote form Lucroy says no
While the pitches registered as knuckleballs on the pitch tracker, catcher Jonathan Lucroy said Inglett was just throwing the ball to the glove.
“I put down fastball, but it wasn’t fast,” Lucroy said. “It’s just flipping them in there. That’s all it is. Just trying to save our pitching staff for tomorrow.”
Man if you would have told me before that game
That we would score 4 with Yo on the hill I would have been going Woot we are going for the sweep on Wednesday.
But that is why they play the games, Yo looked like Wolf or Manny out there tonight
"It's a joke. It's all a joke.
After pitching poorly as a left-hander
Rick Peterson was quoted after the game as saying “I watched video, and Yovani’s release point just wasn’t the same place it was during his successful outings.” He added that they would be having multiple bullpen sessions to work it out before his next start. And then, for reasons this reporter cannot understand, he told me that he was looking forward to the September call-up of Jeremy Jeffress, then he muttered something about brownies.

so, inglett is for sure on the bench next year, right?
i'm fighting all the french people i can find. happy cinco de mayo!
I'm sure he'd like to be playing more
but it’s hard to disagree with a major league pay check. If the Brewers truly go into rebuilding mode, Weeks could be traded and Inglett could become a full-time 2nd baseman keeping the seat warm for Lawrie. Depending upon the return for Weeks, I could live with that for a season.
I'd be sad to lose Weeks
He’s endured his fair share of crap from us waiting for him to be healthy and have his breakout year, and he’s done more than anyone expected of him. He’s been one of the few bright spots this season. That being said, I’m ready to tear the team apart. We’re going nowhere without pitching. Bon voyage Ricky, hope you land on a winning team.
