2011-06-20 Rays (Niemann) at Brewers (Narveson) - [Brewers lose, 8-4]

[cnycerveceros]

This is hard to watch. I have such little faith.

[bucks2281]

Betancourt will likely swing and miss at ball 4

[dlk9s]

Dang, that strike 3 to Kotsay was his best pitch of the inning.

Yeah. People can say what they want about Kotsay, but Niemann did a great job against him there. Really, he's done it all night except for the other batters this inning.

[jwill535]

Can we tape the bat to his shoulder?

[razzzorsharp]

RED LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

[Oldcity]

What a turd.

[Oldcity]

Swing at ball 4?

[cnycerveceros]

This is hard to watch.

[trwi7]

Get out Betancourt.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Absolutely worthless......

[jjgott]

What sounds better: FAILancourt or BetanFAIL?

[BuckyBrewer61]

How often do we have to watch lineups with Kotsay and Betancourt consistently fail before something changes? I understand Braun is sick today, but Counsell, Boggs, Gamel, Green, Gindl, I don't know, ANYTHING!

[jjkoestler]

Awesome. Thanks Yuni. Set the bat on the ground and take. You are horrible.

[razzzorsharp]

To be fair I am sure that would have been called a strike.

[jjkoestler]

Awesome. Thanks Yuni. Set the bat on the ground and take. You are horrible.

[bucksman4]

Melvin and RR deserve what they're getting by a) keeping Yuni in the roster and b) playing him nearly every day

[TheCrew07]

Well like Oxy said, he did miss by the width of the plate, it just ended up being a perfectly located pitch... then Yuni bails him out... guh.

[dlk9s]

Swing at ball 4?

No, he just did a horrible job at swinging at a meaty fastball.

[markedman5]

I just can't stand it

[mastershake76]

If you can't score there... you can't score.

Boggs with a .960 OPS in AAA

 

Kotsay not far from being under the .600 OPS mark

[cnycerveceros]

Long inning to sit, hope Narveson stays on track.

[derflotr]

Haha, Betancourt's awfulness is just unrivaled. I didn't think it was possible for him to be as bad as I heard he was all off-season. Boy, was I wrong.

[Oldcity]

What sounds better: FAILancourt or BetanFAIL?

I'm partial to Yuniugly.

[logan82]

I just started watching the game during the Morgan PA. I don't think I could have purposely picked a more infuriating point in the game to start watching.

 

Nice pitch by Nieman but that is still probably better than Notsay hitting into a double play with his noodle bat. I have not watched so much powerless noodle bat suckitude since Kendall left.
