2010-05-21 Brewers (Bush) at Twins (Blackburn), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose 15-3; Lucroy gets first MLB hit]

[PrinceFielderx1]

I's Dave Bush injured? He is only hitting 85 MPH...

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I hate to say this but Dave Bush is close to done as a major league pitcher. The guy will not survive with his fastball at 85 mph.

That's a little dramatic to say he's done as a major leaguer, but you are correct...his velocity is down and he can't succeed the way he's been pitching this year. He just hasn't been right.

Tough to know if things might have been a little different if the ego behind the plate got strike 3 right.

[thablingster]

Dude, we're down 6. Take the out at first.

[Funketown]

Man oh man has Bush been terrible this year. His K:BB ratio is now 1:1.

 

Hey, I kind of liked that Marco Estrada guy, I wonder if he's still playing ball?

[trwi7]

This team needs to be blown up.

Yes it does.

 

Geez Prince, just take the sure out.

[TheCrew]

That umpire has no business in baseball acting like that. Besides that Bush is terrible.

Based on what?

 

He's had 1 bad start this season........ well, 2 now but the ump is beyond terrible.

Bush cannot win with his 85 mph fastball.

Yet, outside this start, he has had 1 bad start all season.....

[pebadger]

Dumb, da-dumb, dumb, dumb.

[pete]

Put Marco Estrada in the rotation.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

That ump probably feels pretty good about himself right now.

I blame myself for this one.

That's as hard as he's thrown all year.

I was thinking the same thing. Late to the party here, I've been late to the party here on the in-game chat for a few years actually.

 

It was a tad ridiculous to see Rapuano coming out towards Bush like that. Yeah, you can't argue balls and strikes, but what was that? Hopefully Dave Bush has "Better Days" by Beck on his Ipod.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

It's OK. Suppan to the rescue.

[jeffy]

Too bad the ump did not toss Bush, what was it?, 5 runs ago.

[pete]

Yet, outside this start, he has had 1 bad start all season.....

 

That's certainly debatable and I'm sure it will be, but what is to like about the guy?

[thablingster]

Well, if we're ever going to see Vargas again tonight is the night. Depending on how taxed the bullpen gets tonight that could bode as another nudge to bring up Braddock.

[Funketown]

Yet, outside this start, he has had 1 bad start all season.....

Why should we analyze a player based on good starts and bad starts when we have such better information? His ERA is terrible and his peripherals agree that he really has been awful. He's a fly ball pitcher with mediocre control who can't strike anyone out.

[Tailgat0r76]

THROW STRIKES SOUP! We're down 7, my Lord, just throw some strikes

[yfinn6]

Interesting.. seems as though Bill and Brian are ripping Macha for not getting tossed for protecting Bush.

[carniesandrubes]

Quite a zim zam we're in tonight.

[cnycerveceros]

I figured I'd have time to watch the first 3 innings tonight. I was wrong.

[thablingster]

By the end of the night Bush might have a worse ERA than Suppan, although we all know Bush has a tendency to give up his runs in bunches as to where Suppan is much more consistent. lol

[TheCrew07]

It's too bad Bush gave up those lucky runs or we'd still be in this one...

[Eddiehitsthefoulpole]

I still like the corps of this team. But it is really underachieving. Like the rest of you, I am sick of it. This team acts like it is playing out the string in September. It is like watching 2002 again. Something needs to change. I am not going to watch Keith Olbermann followed by Beneath the Planet of the Apes.

[trwi7]

Blackburn threw 10 pitches in the 1st.

 

Brewers pitches threw 44. 24 for balls. Suppan, a reliever threw almost as many pitches (8) as Blackburn. Our pitching absolutely blows.
