Randy Wells

7-4, 4.93

Wells is 5-0 in his last nine starts, but did not get a decision in his last outing against the Reds. He failed to finish the fifth inning, and blamed himself for "nibbling" too much pitch-wise. He's 0-1 in two starts vs. the Brewers.

Really RR......Yuni B again?

[Raw Biz]

Really RR......Yuni B again?

Considering Hairston got the start yesterday, this isn't surprising.

[logan82]

Starting Yuni and McGehee is borderline insane at this point. That is the definition of insanity isn't it? Doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result. The really disappointing part is this was totally expected.

[hawing]

1-0 for Tuesday, Brewers? You'd make a lot of people happy.

[bucksman4]

You guys sound surprised at this lineup. I'm surprised when I DO NOT see Betancourt and McGehee in the lineup at this point. RR has shown no inclination to change things for good so I just expect to see the 2 underachievers in the lineup each day.

[FoxyFoxes]

I;ve come to grips with Casey being in there....but really Hairston would be a much better option at short. Oh well....at least the bench is stronger.

[jjgott]

I doubt it, but you never know if RR has a "plan" to ease JHJ in at short since he was still apparently is dealing with that neck issue.

[Schlitz001]

I'm with you FoxyFoxes, I have worked through all 5 stages of Yuni B and Casey McGehee this year.

 

1.Denial

2. Anger

3. Bargaining

4. Depression

5. Acceptance

 

I truly have accepted them being in the lineup. The Brewers are one of 3 90 win teams so far this year and they did it despite some below average hitters. Does that make it ok? Probably not, but I'm certainly not surprised when I see their names penciled in the 5/6 or 6/7 spots in the lineup day after day. Ease into acceptance fellow brewer fans, because there is nothing else to do.

[packfan79]

Come on Marcum we need a good outing to offset our craptastic bottom of the lineup.

[tomwopat]

Rut roh, Jerry Meals behind the plate. Should we preemptively play the game under protest?

[Polish Falcons]

HOW IS THAT A HIT??? E-McGehe

[Oldcity]

Black hole

[packfan79]

I wonder how many less hits/runs our pitchers would have given up this year with even average defensive players in the infield.

[Oldcity]

Let's make this a crooked number inning

[owbc]

Welcome back offense!

You don't want to know because it would probably make you vomit.

 

Nice rip Braun!

[jason21nl]

Very nice looking rally here. A couple of bad 2 strike pitches from Wells

[hawing]

Is this OK so far? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

I am living the Brewers geek dream tonight: watching on a big screen with other fans at Union South with Bernie literally steps behind me, using Brewerfan and Twitter. And the Brewers are putting up a crooked number. I also know more about the Brewers than the student intern host. The. Dream.

[jason21nl]

wow, that strike call to Prince was way outside

Ok so far. Get that fourth run and it's officially crooked, heh.

[jjkoestler]

Error or hit?

[Oldcity]

Now it's crooked. Weeks' Beast Mode looks funny for some reason.

[valpocrewsader]

Great inning from the offense. And, they cleared Casey!

[hawing]

Weeks' Beast Mode looks funny for some reason.

It looked to me like he was thinking, "The guys are all doin' this, so I guess I should too."
