Get to know Yovani Gallardo

[Frobby]

Big step backwards for Gallardo in terms of challenging the hitters. Way too much nibbling out there.

[Bird Dog]

Definitely afraid to challenge good hitters.

[Can_of_corn]

Definitely afraid to challenge good hitters.

He doesn't have the stuff to challenge them anymore.

[Rene88]

Great move signing him, definitely worth the pick in a deep draft.

Executive of the year after all.

[LookitsPuck]

His walk rate post ASB is very troubling.

That said, Wieters is not a good defensive catcher. I feel Caleb handles the staff much better.

Struggled through the 1st, then cruised for the next three. Made a perfect pitch to Travis that could have been the second out, but he didn't get the call and then just imploded after that. Also Givens could have picked him up but failed terribly. It would be one thing if he got lit up from the beginning, but it's almost more frustrating that he got us through 4 unscathed against a very tough lineup and couldn't find a way to get us the win.

[Rene88]

Personally I've had it with Givens. Must be someone better than him in this wretched farm system of ours.

We could have traded him earlier in the year for a ransom.

I think you are overreacting on him. He's slowly getting better against lefties.

I like Givens.

Nope. They should consider slotting Worley in his place, but I doubt he gets skipped.

I like Givens.

Givens has a 1.41 WHIP, allows almost 5 walks per 9 IP and has horrible splits against lefties. He should be at AAA learning how to harness his command and get lefties out not in the big leagues for a contending club.

I am sure they have discussed sending him down to work on his splits. Might happen if they feel they have someone better.

I love Beato.

[Malike]

Its time for Gallado to pitch well. I dont think hes had an outstanding game all season. Not one.

6 2/3 innings of 2 run ball with 6K's falls under outstanding for Gallardo. Especially against the Colorado offense.

[HillbillyBird]

Early impressions are he's overthrowing to hit 91 on a FB. But, it's early.

6 innings, 2 runs

[Frobby]

Pretty decent outing but I think a better hitting club might have done more against him.
