2010-04-16 Brewers (Gallardo) at Nationals (Lannan), 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-3]

[logan82]

I would call that bad baserunning but I feel that would be an understatement.

[endaround]

So Vargas wasn't sent back out because?

duh its an 8th inning lead, Hawkins has to pitch

[ilovebeer]

I want JJ back.

[logan82]

So Vargas wasn't sent back out because?

[thablingster]

Hawkins is the 8th inning guy. It is the 8th inning after all. I want to put that in blue, but Ken Macha's brain won't let me.

[Oldcity]

I wonder if anyone will remember Hawkins' three good games to start the season in a few months.

[logan82]

So Vargas wasn't sent back out because?

Oh that's right. I forgot Yost has a designated 8th inning guy or was it Macha. Tough to tell the last few days.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Here I thought Hawkins was going to be fairly decent with those first few appearances.

[rluzinski]

I love that our supposedly best two relievers are an average of 40 years old.

[bklynbrewcrew]

We need to stop wasting money on relievers like this when Axford can do a better job for the minimum.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Of course.

[Oldcity]

We're hearing all about how tired the Brewers' pen is, and nobody on FS has mentioned that Vargas was removed after throwing one pitch.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Would it kill Hawkins to hold a runner on first?

[trwi7]

I wonder if Ken is going to yank Hawkins after 10-15 pitches like he did with Parra. Problem not because he's a veteran who has "been through the wars."

[bklynbrewcrew]

Hawkins is too gritty to yank.

[Oldcity]

No infield in please...

[logan82]

I kind of understood taking Parra out for Vargas to get a RHP vs RHB matchup. I disagreed with the call but could undertsnd the argument. Pulling a pitcher after one pitch without his spot coming up to bat seems dumb.

[Oldcity]

Wow was that terrible Prince.

[bklynbrewcrew]

Bye bye game.

[trwi7]

Nice defense Fielder.

[endaround]

Its almost like Hawkins has a dead arm, wonder why that would be....

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Suckiest bunch of sucks who ever sucked.

[trwi7]

I kind of understood taking Parra out for Vargas to get a RHP vs RHB matchup.

Guzman is a switch hitter.

[logan82]

Macha had the infield pulled in didn't he. Cookie cutter.

 

and wow Zaun has looked bad throwing to 2B the last week. Only a month to go before we gain a year of service time on Salome(or there about).

[endaround]

Why the hell is Hawkins still pitching? We want him on the DL or something?
