Yovani Gallardo is a stud I've been waiting for to get called up. His minor league stats have been tremendous boasting a 2.9 ERA, 110 k's in 77 innings and only 28 BB. He has electric stuff and the fact that no major league player has faced him before gives him an added advantage. The giants have been struggling all year. The old timer giants have provided no consistent offense and noah lowry has been far less effective on the road this year. The Brewers have also touched him up pretty good in the two previous times theyve faced Lowry. Brewers have found their bats again. While prince has been a constant all year long, bill hall, ryan braun, corey hart are starting to find their grooves and the offense has produced lately. I think its a good matchup and have the feeling the brewers are on the brink of another big run with gallardo helping stabilize their rotation.
Did you read about the 6 inning thing? They usually only do that for guys coming off injury. Im thinking the 100 pitch count like most starters. Matt Wise and Villanueva should be available tomorrow to go the 7th. Both have been pretty effective. And while Turnbow went through a rough skid I still have alot of confidence in the guy in the setup role.
