2011-10-12 Brewers (Gallardo) at Cardinals (Carpenter) - [Brewers lose, 4-3; trail NLCS, 2-1]

[moofnelson]

That's some great outfield defense on display.

 

How do the Brewers win another game in this series if they continue to get bombarded?

[rluzinski]

Well, if you are going to get far behind, better to do it very early.

 

And yeh, our team defense in general is pretty damn terrible. Never has been a high priority.

[a3uge]

Has a team ever tried this: start a decent reliever in the first, then have your starter pitch 2-7 or 8?

[jhart05]

No doubt. With Gomez in CF, Gallardo is out of the inning with no runs scored.

 

And it's probably a 1-0 Brewers lead.

Dancing on the line of delusional and whiny...

Excuse me. What exactly am I whining about? And you don't think Gomez catches either one of those balls?

[cnycerveceros]

Maybe they come back and win this game, maybe they come back and win the series. I don't see either. But, the worst part about it is how embarrassing it is.

[sargennm]

It really is. After more than 30 years of suffering, don't Brewers fans deserve better than this. What an absolute embarrassment.

[adamb100]

Finally 3 outs.

[B2k1121]

Why did our pitchers all decide they didn't want to pitch in the postseason? This is crazy to me, I dont remember ever seeing anything like this in the Playoffs.

[MillerBombers]

They're the better team..it's not even close. In all phases.

I think there equally matched but the Brewers have laid an egg in the series so far.

While Monday was a joke, RR is totally at fault for this start.

[MillerBombers]

I don't understand how RR can go with the attitude of "I am going to go with who got us here" and then start Kotsay. I feel like RR has been contradicting himself this entire season.

[theavrock]

absolutely pathetic display.

 

Remember how people were saying if these sorts of decisions continued in to the playoffs they would bite us? Case in point. Where are all of the RRR defenders?

[logan82]

Well, if you are going to get far behind, better to do it very early.

 

And yeh, our team defense in general is pretty damn terrible. Never has been a high priority.

You have to hope the manager at least tries to put good defense out there. I firmly believe DPR has no idea what a good defender looks like. He has pulled guys for defense in a few games but has never pulled KIotsay. Kotsay can't even field a ground ball in the outfield.

[ttsather]

In every other sport, a player who makes a big boneheaded mistake (let alone several in one inning) is flat benched. I don't care that baseball is different because a guy can't come back into the game.

Remove Kotsay immediately.

[bucksman4]

I was wondering what inning would be the magic inning where we'd all complain that Kotsay didn't belong in CF tonight. Have to admit...didn't expect it to be in the 1st inning.

 

By the way...I predict Carp doesn't let up more than 3 runs tonight. The Cards have enough right now.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I have to do a sleep study tomorrow night, and I was getting all bent outta shape about not being able to see the game. I'm starting to not feel all that bad about it.

[moofnelson]

Are there any good movies on TV tonight?

You mean like replacing Weeks for defensive reasons but not Betancourt?

[BrewerTerp]

don't forget. just win ONE of these three games and we're back to having homefield advantage. get off the ledge people...

And Hairston for Weeks but not McGehee

No, it's Yo's fault for the 4-0 start. RR didn't give up 4-5 hard hit fly-balls. He should be getting the ball on the ground or striking guys out. While Gomez would have caught Jay's ball, that doesn't excuse Yo for pitching terribly the rest of the way and walking batters.

Are there any good movies on TV tonight?

This is the lamest thing I've ever wrote, but I was actually looking forward to watching Modern Family and pausing this. I'll watch it, but I can't bear real time. It's like watching a 'select' team go all crazy on your kid.

[ninja33]

I really don't think he would have caught the Pujols double. Sure, with Kotsay you knew it was a double the moment it left the bat....but that was well hit and straight to left center.

That doesn't make it any better, still probably out of the inning down 1-0 with Gomez in there.

Yes.

[sargennm]

Me too. But all eyes are on this game. If this doesn't work he's going to get killed by every type of media and baseball fan that ever existed. So, I doubt he'll ever do something this dumb again.

 

But as of now, the series is 1-1 and Game 3 is tied 0-0. So:

 

Let's Go Brewers!

I wonder if he has any idea what's coming tonight.
