To be fair Macha managed to go under .500 with completely healthy teams and the players looked dead on the field when he managed, there was obviously something wrong on a personal level with him. Roenicke at this point is playing with 50% of what our bullpen should have been and that can't be easy.

One other problem I see is that the Padres have clearly figured out that the Brewers like to throw 1st pitch strikes and are swinging away freely. They have been since the 1st inning. Where is the adjustment by the coaching staff and Nieves? 22 hits and we keep throwing them strikes.

7 run inning? This is getting laughable. Not to mention the 22 hits given up. Yay for the "improved" pitching staff this year.

To be fair, it was improved starting pitching. The bullpen had question marks.

This is Jack Burton in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there.

To be fair RR has a much better rotation to work with. Yes i noticed players dead on the field last year, but i feel that is more of a reflection on them. This team is making all kinds of mistakes, base running, D, mental, mismanagement. It is an awful product right. When it tanks, I'm sure the players will quit on RR too.

Why didn't we leave Mitre in the game? He only threw 17 pitches (in 2.2 innings, no less.)

So they could pinch hit boggs, who successfully produced a hit and run to set up 1st and 3rd for the top of the order.

Completely healthy teams without Marcum and Greinke. And yes, I know that Greinke has only just recently come off the DL, but the point is that Macha had a terrible starting staff to deal with.

But yes, I know, and I agree, Macha's personality was like death personified. I didn't like him at the time and I still don't.

I was hoping before the season that Roenicke would perhaps be that rare hybrid of baseball managers - competent AND charismatic. But that was apparently too much too ask for. Instead it appears that we've ended up with something akin to the Anti-Macha. Just as awful but in an entirely new way!

Plus I thought he was the "long relief" guy.

I'm afraid I was stunned to get back to the box score and behold the 8-spot. My goodness.

Remember: the Brewers never panic like you do.

Just poor execution from the guys in the bullpen today. RR can only put out there what he was given to work with. These guys get paid to get hitters out. They didn't do their job (understatement I know). The RR hate baffles me sometimes.

I think a fair amount of blame falls on RR today. Loe has been way overused to this point and he hasn't been very effective for over a week now. Yet he throws him out there anyway, with the game on the line and he gives up hit after hit. Loe should not have been in there today. He made the right move bringing in Stetter (though he's sucked too) but after that I completely disagree with the moves.

 

Hawkins has looked great and threw only 14 pitches, he could have stayed in another inning. Or gave McClendon a shot (though he got drilled too). There were other options than Loe, who is probably tired and not effective. Yet RR seems to absolutely insist on using him every 8th inning.

 

This could have been a huge comeback, motivating win. Instead, it feels like we got beat twice.

The only move I disagree with is bringing in Loe again. It seems like the guy pitches everyday. Other than that, from the starting pitcher to several relief pitchers, not a well executed game from the bump.

If McClendon comes in and gives up the lead, then fine. That will happen. But for Roenicke to go to Loe, a pitcher that he's pretty much over-worked and abused the entire season long, a pitcher that has shown in the past week an increasingly ineffective ability to get batters out, a pitcher that before the game even Roenicke himself had said was off-limits...

 

That's entirely on the manager, and so is this loss.

Loe clearly didn't have it, he was clearly tired and wasn't supposed to be available. Yet there he was on the mound. Being ineffective yet again.

 

Anyone have any idea why Braun was taken out?

Nice work Carlos. Walk number 11 this year.

aaaaand he gets doubled off on a line drive. i swear he just can't do something good and leave it at that. so frustrating.

On a ball Rickie smoked and looked like it was going for extra bases. Alot of guy swould of got doubled up on that.
