2011-06-12 Cardinals (Westbrook) at Brewers (Marcum) - [Brewers win, 4-3, grab hold of first place with sweep]

[ilovebeer]

I am hoping for a sweep and take over first place. It would be great to go in Wrigley in first place.

[ilovebeer]

I am kind of surprised Jonathan is playing today, day game after a night game.

[Menotti80]

Casey has continued to struggle, but prince has continued to mash the ball and the brewers keep winning. So I say who cares?

 

Why not just have fun and watch the crew try to take over first place, and if the get beat, THEN criticize RRR and his lineup?

I guess we are lucky Wolf isn't starting or we would surely be seeing Kotsay, YunE, AND Nieves.

[ilovebeer]

Even if we lose today we have taking the series. so i would be OK with that.

Because I'm 110% sure Nieves will be playing tomorrow and no way in hell he runs him out there 2 days in a row.

This is what having a #4 pitcher with a personal catcher does to your team.

Sit down Lance. that was a pretty nice inning for Shaun.

The fact that Roenicke is playing Lucroy on a Sunday after a night game is proof that he doesn't want Nieves playing two days in a row.......which is proof that he knows Nieves sucks tremendously, which is proof that there's a problem here, if Wolf absolutely CAN'T throw to Lucroy. This is getting to be beyond ridiculous.

When Ozzie has more sense than your manager...

He played Kotsay like everyday and batted him 5th last year

[Schlitz001]

Lucroy is a big league catcher. If he didn't want to catch today, he would tell RR and he would be on the bench right now. Yadier has caught all three games this series, why can't Lucroy? He's still getting 1 of every 5 games off.

And not a single one in the field. But Roenike is setting it up so Kotsay is the Brewers DH.

Tom H reported this morning that Gamel will most likely be called up for inter league

Sure about that?

It will be nice to see how he handles 1st base.

[wibadgers23]

Casey just swung at ball 4. Could have been 1st and 2nd with nobody out and Hart coming up.

Maybe they send Yuni down.

[bucksman4]

Worst AB of the year right there by Yuni. Just pathetic.

[stoutdude04]

2 infield pop ups...good cuts Casey and Yuni.

[Schlitz001]

2 3 infield pop ups...good cuts Casey and Yuni and Lucroy.

[stoutdude04]

As someone else pointed out...its nice to have a rally killer inbetween our good hitters.

Well, it's less frustrating than leading off the inning with back-to-back singles and then popping up three straight times http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif.

[Menotti80]

Lucroy looked no better than yuni and Casey there. I doubt we will see many complaints about that...

[endaround]

Sure about that?

OK he had 6 starts in RF and 34 at 1B. He's a DH/1B. He should not be near CF.

[ELCABALLO45]

I'm sure that was a classy comment Theriot made to the ump.

[ELCABALLO45]

What a fluke hit
