2010-06-30 Astros (Rodriguez) at Brewers (Bush), 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-1]

[viaarete]

Hey Chief, get off the air

[milwaukeesportsfan]

I can't listen anymore. I'd rather listen to tunes and follow the action on gameday.

[brewmann04]

It starting to get a little worrisome with Braun but sorry to state again that he not the same hitter before he was hit on the elbow.

Braun and Casey have not really produced in the last few weeks.

[BrewCrewForever]

I’m really at a boiling point as it concerns Fielder and Braun not coming through with men on. Game after game the bottom of the order and/or Rickie and Corey get on base and then Fielder and Braun go quietly. It’s beyond frustrating at this point.

[sauveb]

What is there about Blum and Johnson that Bush can't figure out?

[topper09er]

K/BB ratio very bad in June

 

He also seems very unclutch lately but overall this year:

[ninja33]

that's twice now mcgehee has been called out incorrectly at third.

 

the astros announcers have agreed both times.

[brewmann04]

Can someone explain hoe did the astros score their lead run ? thanks

[Funketown]

Wouldn't it take less time for Macha to throw a red flag, have someone review the play, and get back to the game than it took for McGehee and Macha to argue?

[DHonks]

Gene, they scored on a suicide squeeze. Bush's only play was to first.

 

also, McGehee looked safe at third, Lucroy looked safe at 2nd. tough inning

[ninja33]

brewmann, they ran a squeeze with wandy.

[PrestigeWorldwide]

Can't stand all these out on the base paths, although by all accounts they all either were safe or could have gone either way. I'm starting to prepare myself for the reality of dropping 2 of 3 from Houston at home. Obviously it isn't over but I haven't even considered that end result until right now.

[sauveb]

Big day for the umps today. "And it's not even hot yet."

[dlk9s]

Can someone explain hoe did the astros score their lead run ? thanks

First two guys got on (one on a walk, can't remember the other), next batter hit a grounder to Prince that looked like it could be a DP, but Bush couldn't cover 1st quickly enough, so they only got the runner at 2nd. 1st and 3rd, one out, Wandy Rodriguez laid down a suicide squeeze.

[brewmann04]

I am glad not watching this game Casey thrown out at third and the Lucroy tries to steal. Boy talk about bad baserunning .

I soory but this team is not a playoff team at all,and hopefully someone upstairs realizes this and go into full selling mode come after the all star game.

[Mass Haas]

Ah, Villanueva -- used up all his bullets in April, didn't he?

[sauveb]

And the arson squad strikes again.

[brewmann04]

Thanks dlk9s

[viaarete]

Seriously, I am beginning to dread Villa in any kind of pressure situation

[trwi7]

It's time to:

[trwi7]

I'm also LOLing that Edmonds is a defensive substitute for Gomez. I understand why Macha did it, it's just funny seeing Edmonds as a defensive substitute in CF.

[brewmann04]

Please any one tell me why Villy should have a roster spot. He been terrible lately and the Cappy story is nice but he can go also once Hawkins and davis returns.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Villa should be the one going down. He's been awful lately.

[Polish Falcons]

I was thinking, since Hoffman has been pitching well lately maybe it’s time to move him to a more critical role. Just admit that Axford has the closer role locked down. Hoffman can come into close games in the middle innings when Loe and Braddock are not available. We need someone else to step up because Villy & Coffey haven’t been getting it done.

[benji]

Villy historically does this. Has a great 4-6 week span and then just loses it. The problem is when he blows up, it usually means a close game or lead that is lost.
