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

How stupid can you be?

[PrinceEatMeat]

C'mon Rickie, what are you doing?!?! Twice in the same game. Ugh.

[trwi7]

Dude, Weeks. What the hell?

[WisconsinSportsRule]

What the hell Rickie? Again?

[bucks2281]

Good Lord, Rickie.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I can forgive him for doing it once, but twice? This is just ridiculous. Especially when down 4.

[wOOgiE22]

He did it again! Are you kidding me?!

[Oxy]

Weeks is not learning very quickly. I at least saw the positive last time that happened in that it was good timing to be aggressive. Outs on the bases when you are down by 4 is not smart to say the least.

[chuckcrim]

Disgusting series all around. I'm sick to my stomach. The Reds and Pirates are charging. Once the interleague schedule is finished, I'll be shocked if we're in 1st place. Hoping we can avoid the sweep in Boston.

We blast RR quite a bit. In my opinion it is deserved. But this game is on the players. Those guys haven't executed. We seem a little panicky too me. We don't seem to have the patience to make the right play.

[pastoradub]

was Weeks even close the 2nd time?

[pebadger]

So, will Boston this year be liike the last trip in a couple of years ago? Or will the Brewers find a way to bounce back and play well like they did in Philly after being embarrased in DC earler this season?

 

I have no idea. But I think this team will be infuriating all year. Enough talent in a few places to mask the potentially devastating holes everywhere else.

This game is on the players but the second game is on Roenicke and arguably the first as well. The series should be 3-1 or split at the worst. Also, Schroeder is right when he said he said Mitre should have been used a long time ago and that's probably why he's rusty. Probably during Loe's 4 out of 5 day stretch.

[trwi7]

No.

[fondybrewfan]

Well the entire team played like a steaming pile of dog poo today.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Inexcusable to not at least get a split in this series. I hope they go into Boston ready to play well, or a sweep is on the horizon.

[cubfan1126]

Overall this was a rough series....terrible offensive display on Monday, bullpen implosions Tuesday, and our starter has a rough outing today.

Why is Monday a terrible offensive display - are you saying that Dempster had nothing to do with it? (except for the 2 doubles in 1 inning)

Our starter didn't really have a great day today either but managed to survive.

Agreed on Tuesday!

 

 

[PrinceEatMeat]

Well, just looked at upcoming pitching matchups and it's not great. Getting Lackey, Lester, Wakefield in Boston isn't bad. But we face Hellickson, Price, Davis when we come back home to play the Rays. Ain't gonna be easy.

[wisconsinfan47]

Sloppy game...I think George's early screw-ups with runners on 3rd set the tone.

[Raw Biz]

Gomez really should have pinch-hit there. I know we're down 6 but that would've been a perfect time to get him an at-bat considering Morgan can't hit lefties.

[cnycerveceros]

Wow. Working this afternoon and just checked in. I guess this one will be coming off the DVR without being watched. Looks like Greinke didn't pitch too well, is that the case?

[chadomac]

Bad pitching, defense, and baserunning. I thought this was going to be the series where we tacked on 2-3 wins BEFORE the slump. Now I'm thinking we're already in the slump.

[brewmann04]

this team looks lost playing the cubs need to get their act together .

[Polish Falcons]

Anyone wanna say Weeks doesn't have terrible baseball IQ again?

Yes.
