Not Ned's fault he doesn't have more position players. Talk to his boss Doug about that one.

[BrewCrewForever]

Well I had a feeling lighting couldn't strike twice with Suppan batting. Would be nice to have more POSITION players Ned.

That's not Ned's call, it's more Melvin's, isn't it?

 

 

Perhaps. Either way 14 pitchers is outragous.

[brwrsfan]

C'mon Billy, win the game for us here.

[moofnelson]

Bill Hall you kind of suck right now at the plate.

[bthurley19]

Good thing Ned took out Hart

[trwi7]

Bad throw by Weeks, but Fielder still has to dig that out. I refuse to give our crappy fielding 1B a pass on that one.

 

I said the exact same thing on another board. Weeks' throw sucked but many 1st basemen pick that ball. Fielder has looked atrocious on defense this year.

[BrewCrewForever]

We were up 8-3. Turnbow should have been in pitching.

For three innings??

No at some point today since we had a 5 run lead that we couldn't hold.

 

Billy Hall is becoming the new 3TO. HR, K or Ground Out to SS.

[tristarscoop]

Shocker, Billy strikeouts swinging. The more things change...

[GormanHarvey]

Off the bat I thought Gross had won it

[BrewCrewForever]

If we could curse on this site, right now with the way today's game has gone would be an ideal day.

[Ennder]

Wow other than that play I think Fielder has looked a ton better defensively this year.

I thought it looked like an awfully tough pick for Prince

Nope. Sorry. That thing bounced way too far in front of Prince for that to be his fault. 100% Weeks, as usual.

What's wrong with Hardy - couldn't he have pitched hit, at least he has an average (a low one) but its not .000. Or maybe Yo? I hate this team.

[samwise]

This team has played sloppy all year. Today is more of the same.

 

Some spotty defense

Poor situational hitting (man on 1st no outs, pop up bunt followed by swinging strike out)

Bullpen collapse (granted that has not happened much this year, but today it did)

 

Now some of this reflects on the manager, but some of it also reflects on the players.

Prince got on, therefore they tried to replicate last night's bunt again and Soup made an arse of it.

[packer4rob]

Did i hear him say Mota is coming in to pitch the 10th? Is McClung hurt or something, he hasnt pitched since last Thursday when he pitched 3 scoreless innings? Hasnt Mota pitched 2 of the last 3 days?

[Mass Haas]

Just an old tradition...

[endaround]

That throw wasn't even close though. Yeah other 1B dig it out but thats because they are a good 6" taller than Fielder

You cannot be serious...

I put much more blame on Weeks for that play, but yeah A LOT of 1B pick that ball and its game over. But it was one of the worst throws I have ever seen he had tons of time.

[endaround]

Busnts are not automatic things-they fail like 33% of the time

[Menotti80]

is it just me or doesnt mota look like harold reynolds???

[GormanHarvey]

Bold prediciton - Mota goes 1-2-3 through this inning and Gabe Kaplan wins it with a walk off
