2010-04-14 Brewers (Bush) at Cubs (Wells), 1:20 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-6]

[Oldcity]

Ha. At this point leaving him in is funny. Let's see how high we can run up his pitch count.

[brains and braun]

I almost used my first strike just now.

[jhart05]

4 runs after two out.

 

Damn.

[BrewCrewForever]

I guess Hawkins put Macha in a Zim Zam.

[owbc]

This season has not been much fun so far. It seems like they have played far worse than 3-5.

[sauveb]

How in the world can you leave any one inning relief pitcher out there for over 25 pitches? Stetter could have been up to face either of the left handed hitters. Maybe Peterson isn't such a genius after all.

[Oldcity]

I'd oddly not even angry at all. Maybe due to my low expectations for this team?

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

WHY THE SLIDER AGAIN?!

 

I'm gonna say it. Zaun is a terrible game manager.

[Mase]

Um - why is Mitch Stetter in the bullpen. Anyone? Anyone?

[Bikeage77]

I really wish I could curse here sometimes. I'm alone in at work, but the custodians are here, so I can't scream obsenities, or I would be.

[topper09er]

also, was that stolen base contested or given to theriot?

[wisconsinfan47]

Holy crap, Is Hawkins capable of NOT throwing the ball RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE when he's got two strikes on a guy? Or is Zaun the one calling those?

 

Absolutely pathetic. We blew it.

[endaround]

Absolutely no reason Stetter wasn't being readied for Fukudome

[tyguy]

Bring back Yost.

[derflotr]

"It's his inning" is what we'll hear. Further proof that baseball is crippled by tradition and codes. Pretty poetic that it's LaTroy who blows it in Chicago, perfect for Cubs fans.

[Oldcity]

38 pitches in one inning for a reliever!

[WV Brew]

Thanks Macha for leaving him in WAY to long.

 

Macha's in a zim zam.

[Mase]

This is not a well managed team. Players have to be frustrated when they know what should be done but isn't.

[Schlitz001]

also, was that stolen base contested or given to theriot?

No throw, Theriot made it standing.

[sheethead]

Good thing Macha didn't let Bush blow up.

[SZBrewerFan]

This Lose (and yes I know there is 1/2 inning to play but I am confident we will go down 1-2-3) is squarely on Macha and Peterson. If I am Melvin they are both in my office after this game and the conversation would be pretty one sided. I am really starting to dislike Mr. Macha quite a bit. What does Manny Parra have to do to get in a game? Why is Mitch Stetter on the roster.....oh yeah for exactly that situation.

[Ennder]

Yeah this is every bit as bad as Yost was for bullpen management. It is obvious Hawkins doesn't have it today.

[Boisebrewer]

Sigh. Well at least Hoffman didn't give up the lead this time....I guess. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

 

 

[FVBrewerFan]

At least it saves me from worrying if Hoffman blows another save

[Mass Haas]

Tomorrow we'll read about Hawkins having arm pain.

 

Disgusting, macha, disgusting.
