2011-09-26 Pirates (Morton) at Brewers (Marcum) - [Brewers lose, 9-8, still 1 up on D-Backs]

[Schlitz001]

Where did Taylor Green come from? I hope Rickie didn't hurt something running to first. If you are going to give anyone a day off why not Rickie instead of Braun? Or how about de la Cruz?

[topper09er]

With Thurs and Fri off we should not be scared to let Ax or KRod pitch multiple inning in this series...and probably start the league MVP as well

[topper09er]

Red Sox lose, Rays won !!!!!!!! All tied up

[endaround]

Well he's using the guy who you could burn out on Wednesday if that game didn't matter.

[topper09er]

He was out but tagged way back on the leg

[jason21nl]

wow, that looks to be a blown call

[topper09er]

Why does RRR even care, this game is meaningless anyways

[Raw Biz]

He was out but tagged way back on the leg

He's still out and the ump was right there. Blown call.

couldn't they use Fiers?

[jason21nl]

ARGH!!!!!!!

[topper09er]

Can we hire Fielder as a player/manager? Maybe that will make him want to stay next year

[jason21nl]

Please get him the hell off the mound. I get that he should be out of this inning but you still have to make pitches

[owbc]

I really want to cheer for the Rays, but 18,000 fans at the Trop tonight? Unacceptable. Go Red Sox.

[markedman5]

So Braun doesn't play, Marcum is left in when he clearly doesn't have it and then we bring in a guy who hasn't pitched in a meaningful game all year in a game we need to win.......does that about cover it?

[moofnelson]

Philly beats Atlanta. Cardinals tie up Astros.

[Oldcity]

This guy has no idea where the baseball is going.

[jason21nl]

are they JUST NOW getting someone up?

[Schlitz001]

De La Cruz hasn't pitched in 9 days, so that's his excuse. What's Roenicke's excuse, BA?

 

Also, the fans at the park know that this game matters. You can sense some tension.

Weeks was removed with half a game left

[trwi7]

It appears Roenicke has no desire to win this game.

[topper09er]

For those who don't understand Rock/BA are forced to be homers:

 

"there is nothing anyone can do when the pitcher is not throwing strikes" - Rock

 

translation: Get this @#$*ing loser pitcher out of the $%&*ing game

[moofnelson]

What is he waiting for? RR has done some crappy managing at points this year, but this game takes the cake. Twenty guys available in the pen and he leaves this bum out there.

[Raw Biz]

It's not the players' fault their fans suck.

[Glennron]

I really want to cheer for the Rays, but 18,000 fans at the Trop tonight? Unacceptable. Go Red Sox.

I'd rather root for the team that has 18,000 apathetic fans at their games than a team with 40,000 obnoxious ones.

[owbc]

Thank goodness the Pirates are incompetent. I think the Brewers still have about a 50% chance of winning--unless RR plans on having Estrada pitch the last 3 innings.
