I don't understand why there can't be a manager DL... or the ability to option RR down to AAA. I would like Don Money to take control for a few weeks so Roenicke can make some decisions without the stress. (read between the lines... I don't really want to look at Roenicke for awhile)

Every reliever doing their part today. But funny on how all the blame goes to Loe. Some are so short sighted.

I'm not mad at Loe. If he is asked to pitch to 4 lefties then that is what he is going to do. I'm mad at the person in charge of letting him throw to 4 consecutive lefties when we have a small lead.

I don't think anyone is blaming Loe, it's not Loe's fault that he had to face 4 lefties in a row.

Loe has been brutal all year. Axford has been lights out until today, and by the time he came in, all the momentum was against us and I had a feeling we weren't going to win this one. And in the 7th, Hawkins gave up what, his 2nd run of the season.

 

RR continues to run Loe out there against everyone in the 8th, even though he can't get out lefties. That's the bottom line.

A little late here but I have to get a post in about Loe.

 

I have complete faith he can be a nice piece to our bullpen. With that said out manager needs to learn how to use that bullpen. I knew that inning was going to be a disaster before it started. I can't rag on Loe when he is consitantly being set up to fail. Everyone and his brother (except RRR) knows Loe struggles against left hand hitters, but RRR contiues to put him out there and Loe continues to fail. Isn't insanity doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

When Loe consistently does this you're right he is going to get a lot of blame. Ax has been outstanding for a long time now. You like to poke don't you?

Yea, it is true that the bullpen as a whole hasnt performed well. However, Loe has been brutal for quite sometime.

 

It was nice that Montero pulled a CM right? Put pressure on the defense to make a mistake. Loe got 2 outs on the bases...you wonder why Loe takes the blame? Really?

I think most people here realize that. He is a really useful guy if he can face a good number of righties.

 

I don't understand why Melvin steps in and tells Roenicke to cut this garbage. Melvin has to realize that his move in the 8th inning was nothing short of idiotic.

there is no reason to expect this team to get any better with the same players on this team. The defense is pathetic and the pitching has been horrible lately and our manger has clue how to run a bullpen.another complete meltdown by this team is totally inexcusable on back to back days. The Brewers FO office better use the All star game break to fix these problems before a promising season goes down tubes.

I'm as frustrated by the 8th inning Loe arrangement as anyone else, but those that are declaring "season over" need to relax a bit. We came into the day tied for first and it's not even the all star break. After following the Brewers through the 90's I'm enjoying these teams very much, puzzling bullpen decisions and all.

so much for that whole sucking on the road thing. Outside a few guys in the line up, the team really isn't that great. They might be in first place right now, but they won't be there at the end of the year if they don't make some changes.
