2011-10-16 Cardinals (Jackson) at Brewers (Marcum) [Brewers lose, 12-6; lose NLCS 4 games to 2]

Does anyone have the feeling that Melvin is going over compensate and bring in defensive first players with no bats? Similar to when they bring in a manager that is opposite of the one they just fired/

No, Melvin has always been a SLG first GM. I still holding out hope he's not retained and the organization goes a different direction. If he stays it will be more of the same... FA pitching, trading for established MLB talent, etc... he's done the same everywhere he's been.

Using Loe ahead of Saito, K-Rod and Axford is indefensible.

 

So you use them ahead of Loe; you are still going to have to find someone to pitch the 7th inning on assuming the game is even relevant at that point. Loe was a fine pick, he had a bunch of righties coming up.

 

I am just numb to everything right now; like it really matters who RR puts out there. The last two games have been embarrasing.

[Glennron]

I finally turned it off. I can't take it anymore. It was a good year. But RR treating the past two games like they're playing the Pirates in late May didn't turn out well.

If it was late May RR would've waited until the 8th inning to use Loe.

So this is how it feels to be a Cubs fan.

I did have a dream last night that the Brewers scored 21 runs in the 7th inning. So there's that....

[Mr QL]

Well a 6 spot and we're right back in this

No, this is kind of an easy way to go out. Also, many here were alive the last time the Brewers were in the World Series.

[ttsather]

Derogatory terms are classy.

[Oldcity]

"Couple of grand slammers and the Crew's right back in this one."

Mods can we take care of the troll? We want to be alone in our misery (and flickering hope, such as it is.)

blow this team up Melvin. Marlins fire sale this off season only way for the Brewers to become competitive again.

I agree to an extent even though you are being sarcastic. I only have one request.......make sure Melvin is involved in the blowing up.

[NYChez]

At some point you've got to decide to use your best pitchers for 2 innings each and worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

[FoxyFoxes]

Gomez for Morgan? Has the T-Plush era quickly fizzled?

[adambr2]

I would like to take a crowbar to this homeplate umpires face. Horribly inconsistent on that low strike today.

hard to do that when there's five innings left and you still have to worry about the pitcher's spot coming up in the lineup.

[Mr QL]

Low and outside

 

A strike of course

[MillerBombers]

I refuse to believe this is over, I want a kick you know what commercial for the World Series.

[adambr2]

We can proudly wear those NL Central Champion T-shirts all we want this offseason, but this game should leave a pretty sour taste in the mouth of this entire organization all off-season.

 

Both because Game 6 was so brutal and because it came against the St. Louis Cardinals.

[ninja33]

just so weird to see braun chasing a pitch that low and that away from a lefty. he just doesn't do that. ever.

[Mr QL]

Swinging at that Braun? Come on

IMPLOSION....Just disappointing....see ya Prince...Thanks for the memories!

I don't think worrying about tomorrow has been our problem at any point in this game. We just don't have a pitcher who can get any of these guys out.

[owbc]

Reading this thread tonight has convinced me that some people will always hate on management, and there's no point in trying to convince them otherwise.

[Oldcity]

Braun has been trash at the plate since Game 1
