2011-07-05 Diamondbacks (Duke) at Brewers (Wolf) - [Brewers lose, 7-3]

[TheCrew07]

Well at least FSN is dropping every hottie in the stadium onto the screen to keep my attention tonight.

[Dmiles23]

Roenicke just boggles my mind. In every pre-game scouting report he always gives stats about the opposing pitcher. Like tonight against Duke he said "Duke is really tough against lefties, so we're getting as many right handed bats in there as possible." Now I have no idea if that statement is accurate, but how come he doesn't use that logic for the Brewers pitching? Does he think Loe is in a career long funk?!

He is THIS YEAR. Over his career he has what looks to be typical platoon splits.

Serious question... so it's typical for a pitcher to have an OPS against at .850?

I know it probably wouldn't make any difference but isn't time for somebody to get mad? You see managers call out their teams all the time, challenge them if you will. You see players show some fire when they are getting their butts kicked.

 

All we get from this team and its manager is....."its a long season, we are a great team, the guys will work their way out of it...blah blah blah"

 

 

I know anger won't turn Yuni into a good hitter or make Loe a competent 8th inning guy but you would think somebody would get pissed about this bad baseball that we have been watching for 3 weeks now.

 

Probably just me being a fan but somebody needs to show some leadership and soon.......

[pebadger]

Maybe Wolf can get into a fight with RR when RR brings the hook. If we're going to have turn-back-the-clock night we may as well make it a greatest-hits night as well.

[brewmann04]

how many games can this team starters keep going by pitching 5 Innings.

[dlk9s]

If the last three games are any indication, we've got 'em right where we want 'em.

[markedman5]

I hope RR is smart enough not to burn out the pen tonight in a game that is already lost.

 

Let Wolf take one for the team and hope that Yo can get them on Weds.

 

ps. Not very classy to steal 2nd with a big lead..............alert Quade.

[Hammer]

How is that a "good throw by Kottaras" there Rock? The runner just stole the base on him...not on Wolf.

Rock is the ultimate homer, especially for catchers. Remember back when he said Estrada had a "good strong arm"?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Maybe RR will win that Kwik Trip contest and get to have lunch with Ryan Braun...maybe Braun can ask him why Yuni is still on the team or why he keeps using Loe against lefties?

[bobskube]

Well at least FSN is dropping every hottie in the stadium onto the screen to keep my attention tonight.

Hotties? Where? Like the hottie who held up her number for Braun?

[pebadger]

I can't recall the last time I was happy to hear the words "No TV tomorrow."

[TheCrew07]

As soon as I posted they started showing us regular folk again, can't even get any consistency out of FSN... jerks.

[topper09er]

Jason Kendall in his 2 years as a brewer:

 

.244/.329/.315/.644

 

McGehee this year:

 

.224/.274/.311/.585

 

worse across the board

[TheCrew07]

ha, BA and BS talking Badger football now, there really isn't much to say is there?

[markedman5]

IIRC Melvin said he asked for Yuni in the deal because we needed a shortstop.....................The Cards have turned a 3 game defecit into a 2 game lead in about a week without Pujols.

 

They better settle the NFL lockout soon.

 

Brewer fans deserve better then this. They are supporting this team like it is in a big market.

 

I fear we are going to see Turnbowesque booing if they don't turn this thing around quickly.

[TheCrew07]

Parra got turned around horribly yet made the play... we've seen a LF do that before haven't we?

[owbc]

Stealing 3rd with a 6-run lead??? Someone call Quade and the class police!!!

[markedman5]

another very unclassy move.

[The Truth]

This is sort of like watching one of those Spring Training Split Squad games. If I didn't know better I'd be wondering how the other Brewers squad with most of the real starters is doing today...

[markedman5]

You know its bad when BA spends half the game pumping up the brewers minor league system.....lol

[topper09er]

At least we dont have Darrin Sutton anymore

[dabrew141]

5+ minute conversation about sausages so far. Keep it going BA and Rock.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

You know its bad when BA spends half the game pumping up the brewers minor league system.....lol

Haha...no doubt...it's like he broke the glass marked "Open only in Emergency". Inside was a script of talking points on the Brewers minor league system, useless stats that detail the Brewers defensive prowess and plate discipline and jokes about some fat guy in section 15. If they run out of ammo, they'll be saying the player's middle names backward ala drunken Harry Caray.

[cnycerveceros]

This is a good point.
