Some of the posts in Brewers losses make me quite sad, and a little worried for some of you guys' sanity.

Seriously. Chill.

yeah.. disappointing loss to start the trip. It was a win that we somehow made a loss. But there aren't a predetermined number of wins for us. Giving one away doesn't mean that we can't go out there the next two days and win both of them. Hopefully someone learned something from today and it doesn't happen again for a very long long time.. This happened A LOT last year down the stretch, it happens to all teams. Imagine how the Rockies felt when the cubs came back from 9 down! I know this should go in the silver lining thread but one loss is still just one loss. We've stolen a couple of these games from other teams ourselves. It's baseball, it happens.. and i am all out of optimism.

Villy was not PH for.

Was that really necessary? #1. I was aware of that fact and I just miswrote, #2. My point was there was no reason Villy shouldn't have pitched the 8th and Villy's spot not even coming up only solidifies my point.

 

 

 

Sorry, I thought you were actually asking that question since it wasn't in blue.

I didn't mean anything by it.

This is just one of those games that you shouldn't lose. Just pathetic. And now for the smug post game presser with Ned. Yuck.

This is true.

Anyway, this cheap bottle of wine ain't too bad.

By the way, did the game start yet? Was their (just kidding) there a rain delay or something?

If some of these fans go a little over the top getting their frustration out on the message board in place of kicking their dog or punching a hole in the wall, I'm all for it.

Ughhh, bad memories. It's gonna maybe take a day to get the bad taste out of my mouth from this loss. I may take a day off tomorrow night and not watch the game. See if that brings them a win.

mota has been good in the 8th way more times then not.

 

Yeh, 2 months out of the last 3 years. But baseball fans think players change overnight, for some odd reason.

This game was just as painful as the one you reference, if not moreso. It is funny that Helms beat us both times.

[BrewCrewForever]

I don't have a big problem with Mota now, but why you don't pitch Villy a second inning a guy who can go multiple innings with ease after such an effortless 10 pitch inning in the 7th is just so stupid. And the fact that Villy has been outstanding since moving to the pen where he thrives.

[giffted1]

Villy has been outstanding, which is why you don't pitch him another inning. You don't burn out one of your best relievers with a four run lead. Mota should be able to hold a freaking four run lead.

We had a three run lead and Villy only had 10 pitches. The rest of the bullpen was rested. Why make an unnecessary change?

My bad, it was three.

 

Villy did have 10 pitches, which is great. Leave it at that so he's available tomorrow, and use your less reliable relievers with a semi-comfortable lead.

Or, and I know this would probably blow Yost's mind, you leave him in because he's pitching so well, then go to Torres in the ninth, and you still have 6 bullpen pitchers who could throw tomorrow. I know it's a pretty strange concept but I liked it better than the alternative.

i am terrified of what this loss could mean for this road trip. to go from a win with Sheets dominating to a horribly deflating loss could mean the difference between a 4-2 trip and a 2-4 trip in my mind. not good.

[Eddiehitsthefoulpole]

There was a logical reason to leave Villy in, and there was a logical reason to make the change. I am only going to point my finger at Mota and Shouse over this one. I will say that I could tell during the second hitter that Mota had nothing. We may have stayed with him too long.

That was my issue with it, I didn't have a huge problem with Villy coming out; I was really grossed out (but not surprised) that Mota saw Helton, as were the Rockies' announcers. As it turned out, Shouse gave up the meatball anyway but the situation might've been a lot different.

 

[BrewCrewForever]

This was the kind of loss that usually sends this team into a tailspin. Could be a 1-5 trip now. I just have a very bad feeling. I predicted 4-2 in another thread. But man I didn't expect the first loss to come this quick in this fashion.
