Is he getting seriously squeezed or is game cast screwed up?

Must be screwed up. That sidearm delivery allows for nothing but meatballs to be yanked somewhere. He hasn't been Turnbow bad, it's just so easy for the hitters to pickup the ball and hit the 70-85mph junk wherever they please. When it isnt a strike, it's obvious

Mitre is a long man anyhow. You are in the 10th and might go for a while...so why wasnt Mitre the option before Green? I agree. I like RR once the players reach base, but his ph moves and bullpen moves have been slightly better than horrible. Axford on day 1 when he didnt have it. Saito when he didnt have it. If Brewers fans can foreshadow the worst decision possible, why does he keep making it?

Sean Green has been pathetic as a reliever. The first sidearm throwing pitcher I can remember not having any deceptiveness whatsoever to either right handed or left handed batters. He's useless and if not DFA'd when Saito returns, it's pure garbage.

Why doesn't any other coach step in and offer some friendly advice to RR? Help him with double switches, explain how bad Gomez is in the 2 hole, offer some suggestions on the bullpen? He's new and inexperienced, you'd think he'd be open to help.
How poorly does that reflect on Doug Melvin if his manager needs help with things like that? I'm not saying you're wrong, either.

But the players love him. Does it matter that he doesn't have managing fundamentals down?

Another game we should have won that we gave away...these are going to come back to kill us in the end

Green sucked. What makes you think we should've won it? RR is overusing a pitcher that should be in AAA.

I guess I'm more talking about the crappy base running, the "on contact" play, the terrible bullpen management, the lack of bats on this team. The fact that there are 4 guys on this team that shouldn't be here. We are giving games away.

I can agree with that. These are the types of games we need to pull out at home. From what I recall, Wandy has been pretty tough on the Brewers in the past as well.
