2011-06-16 Brewers (Greinke) at Cubs (Garza) - [Brewers lose, 12-7]

[Gobias Industries]

BOOM ROASTED

[jjkoestler]

Go Georgie!

[Funketown]

You guys still celebrating Kottaras back there? I remind you that a catcher has to play defense every single inning, but only hits 4 times a game.

Kottaras 2, Oxy 1http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[COBrewerfan]

Now that is funny. Ask and you shall receive the homerun. I stand corrected.

[Oxy]

BOOM! Awesome. I guess we can play like it's 2001 instead of 2011, then Kottaras will be great! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I hope Kottaras goes yard in his first AB.

And boom goes the dynamite.

[owbc]

ROFL!!! Not an offensive catcher?????

[Raw Biz]

Eat it...

[saget]

DFA Kottaras. He can't hit.

[Yeti73]

Wow George.

Nieves sucked on defense too. He only had a defensive specialist rep because he couldnt hit.

At least George can bat. 1 of 2 is better than 0 of 2.

 

George can't hit either.

Yea he's real bad.

[Paulus88]

oh get those runs back Kottaras

[afeter]

1 AB 2 RBI, >>>>>>>> 50 AB 0 RBI

[Warning Track Power]

Yeah I am pretty glad Kottaras is back...

[Fear The Chorizo]

Mr. Kottaras just put a stinky paper bag on COBrewfan's doorstep, lit it on fire, and rang the bell.

[dlk9s]

Greinke gave up one run and then Kottaras gave up another. The negativity towards Greinke is kind of strange. He struck out two with a runner on third or at least would have had the second had Kottaras caught an easy ball

But I thought Greinke was never allowed to give up a run.

[trwi7]

What's wrong with him then? He's putting up numbers close to or better than his career average.

I think it's a case of getting too much of the plate. His LD% is a ridiculous 25.8% coming into the game.

Sure glad to have an awful defensive and no offense catcher back.

 

 

I am so tired of people complaining about this team. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Am I right?

I agree 100%. We have the fourth best record in all of baseball, are winning our division, and the team is playing solid baseball, yet you read a lot of stuff hear and our GM has no clue what he is doing, our manager is terrible, and more focus seems to be on our SS, 3B and backup C then our guys who are performing really well

[owbc]

So what's the over/under on total home runs in the game? 6?

[Oxy]

I do like him a lot more at Wrigley with the wind blowing out--that both minimizes his defensive deficiencies and maximizes his offense.

[jjfanec]

Zack may have gotten out but I love seeing a pitcher take an opposing pitcher 9 pitches in the count

While you are being WAY too hard on Greinke, I will agree that it does seem that he has put a lot of pitches over the middle this season. Fortunately, when he doesn't do that, he is giving batters fits.

[owbc]

The Cubs are 1-7 this year when the wind is blowing out, average of 10.9 total runs per game.

I thought he couldnt give up a hit either
