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

[owbc]

I think Brian and Bill have about 5 innings worth of blowout content. Matt Vasgersian used about 5 years worth of blowout content as the Brewers announcer.

[brewmann04]

Bring in UCK he has plenty of stories to cover blowouts. Wow 3 Million potential fans to see this wow.

[owbc]

Nice job by the crowd getting into the game despite the score. Maybe they can get the offense fired up to make a comeback. (Yes, I doubt it, but I am eternally hopeful)

[topper09er]

Can we please let Davey and Telly call the rest of the game

[topper09er]

Make Hart run about 20 foul poles after the game for all his non-hustle

[pebadger]

If the offense consisted only of Prince playing HR Derby for the next three innings, the Brewers would score more runs than they will playing conventional baseball.

[The Truth]

"Betancourt on the first pitch, bounces out to short to end the inning..."

 

It is deja vu all over again

 

Maybe the Royals said "we won't give you Greinke unless you take Betancourt"

 

Maybe Doug Melvin should attend "Gamblers Anonymous"

[jason21nl]

Haha Betancourt grounds out and they show prince sitting in the dugout instead of the ab

I was a huge Hart fan when he was in the minors and first came up, but he's slowly lost me over time.

 

 

[brewmann04]

Non Hustle is not an Option should get you benched no matter how much you make.

[umphrey]

What I learned about Corey Hart when I went to the game on the 4th is he is probably the biggest jerk on the team. He struck out 3 times to end innings and every time he spiked his helmet, dropped his bat, turned away and walked slowly towards right field. I almost never see guys do this. Most of them will hand their stuff to the bat boy or at least toss it over - Hart doesn't even acknowledge that he exists. He does this every single time.

[pebadger]

Did Coshun and Davey just give credit to Zach Duke? I guess he deserves some, but I wager we could have assembled a group of starters from AA and below that would have achieved similar results tonight.

I was wondering if maybe the Nashville Sounds could beat this lineup

[topper09er]

Let go now, last AB Rickie crushed the ball off Duke

[natronek8780]

I want Gamel to do well so badly, so that RR has to start playing him. He really would give us another big bat in this sometimes always punchless bottom of the order. Unfortunately he keeps hitting balls hard for outs (not counting that one that he obviously just missed and flied out).

 

edit: used the wrong word the first time.

[markedman5]

And this was supposed to be the strength of the team?

 

 

 

 

Haudricourt Assuming #Brewers don't rally (hold laughter), they will be 1-7 over last 8 games with starting pitchers going 0-5 with 8.24 ERA.

[pebadger]

Unfortunately, some will use that stat to mask the more pressing, deeper problems with this team, writing this off as "just a rough patch".

[crewcrazy]

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.......

 

RR has been pretty clear with his quotes the past few days that they're playing bad baseball. Maybe I've missed it, but I haven't seen the "it's okay" quotes from him lately.

[markedman5]

stats padding time.......

[The Truth]

Corey Hart!!!! Awesome at bat

[dlk9s]

What I learned about Corey Hart when I went to the game on the 4th is he is probably the biggest jerk on the team.

That's a pretty unfair statement to make.

[natronek8780]

That first pitch to Casey is a pitch he used to crush, that he's now been fouling off or missing altogether for 2+ months.

[trwi7]

Counsell will power one out of here or do something positive offensively, I'm sure.

[pebadger]

Wow, huge thanks for not ringing up Casey. I'd be pretty upset if I were the Dbacks.

 

But now I'd be really happy seeing Counsell.

Starting pitching has been the strength of the team this season. They haven't pitched well lately. I wish things had gone better in the last week or so, but it doesn't mean that on the whole, the starting five haven't done a good job.
