2010-04-10 Cardinals (Garcia) at Brewers (Gallardo), 2:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-1]

[thablingster]

So now Villa is pitching. Are the Brewers trying to make everyone forget Parra exists in the hopes they can DFA him and sneak him through waivers when Suppan comes back?

[endaround]

Well going by speed scores, McGehee was actually fast compared to the rest of his career last year

I thought up until yesterday it might have been an insurance thing in case Suppan couldn't go but now?

[cnycerveceros]

See what C.C.'s doing in Tampa Bay? No-hitter through 6.

[lcbj68c]

I am beyond done with Gomez already.

 

That's how I feel about Zaun. Nevermind he is a GIDP machine, but behind the plate he has been brutal. Passed ball after passed ball and isn't calling good pitches to save his life. Does he even bother to read the scouting reports. Atleast Gomez is doing his job defensively.

[bklynbrewcrew]

I said this in the offseason and I will say it again; our offense is appreciably weaker than it was last season and Gomez is worthless.

Shhh! I'm actually sitting in the outfield at the Trop as we speak.

[trwi7]

Oh hey, it's Manny warming up!

 

Edit: Wouldn't exactly call that a master plan by Macha, Dick.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Seriously, the Gomez experiment with him batting 2nd has to be over right? Soon?

 

Put Edmonds in that spot. Maybe Escobar/Hart if Hart plays.

 

Another dumb decision by Macha.

[thablingster]

Seeing more of Kottaras might not be a bad thing at this point. Rivera or Kendall likely block that ball.

Yep, there's a reason this guy has been a career backup. Didn't believe the smoke and mirrors from Melvin and Co. during the offseason and especially don't now.

[bklynbrewcrew]

I cant rip on Zaun too much because at least he is not Kendall but he really does look awful.

[derflotr]

Anybody that switched over to the Masters early is reaping the benefits. It's a golf weekend.

[Oldcity]

This is not going to be a very good offense.

[Mr QL]

I thought the game was on tonight. I'm glad I missed it.

[trwi7]

I thought the game was on tonight.

Don't feel bad. So did the Brewers.

[tyguy20204]

Don't jump off the ledge quite yet, folks. Only been five games.

[Vgmastr]

With Carpenter pitching and national TV again tomorrow night, I don't like our chances of avoiding a sweep.

[TracyThom]

Eric Karros is horrible. Brutally horrible.

[The Truth]

I was at the game today, Miller Park was not exactly rockin and rolling as the Brewers hitters got schooled by a rookie.

 

Cardinals fans sitting near me were laughing at Macha not walking Pujols with 2 out, down 4-0 and men on 2nd and 3rd. Why you would pitch to Pujols in that situation is beyond me. Yes Holliday is starting the season hot but at least you gotta take the bat out of Pujols' hands and get a force play at any base. That pretty much busted the game wide open...

[Invader3K]

Just a bad game all around, and really disappointing, as they didn't bother putting up much of a fight against a top division rival at home.

 

I hope Macha yelled at the team after the game, or did something to wake them up. Gallardo was not "ace-like" at all, Prince struck out 3 times, Braun didn't do anything at the plate and played shaky defense, Escobar even made a bad play, and our only bright spots were Hart and McGehee.

 

The lineup better be drastically different tonight. It should be evident that Gomez can't handle the 2 spot yet.

I hear that. I am very concerned that a sweep is very possible. Makes that loss Friday night hurt that much more.
