2012-04-09 Brewers (Marcum) at Cubs (Volstad), 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-5]


Of course because Roenicke had to get cute instead of just starting the inning with Ax, we've now depleted most of our bullpen with the possibility of extra innings.

 

Lol someone last page complained about warming Ax up.

We should use our best reliever in a game with 4 run leads in the 9th? One of the hardest jobs of a manager is to have the guts to not just manage for today.

Never let Parra or Dillard in if the game is within 8 runs.

 

Thats probably a good sign you might want to start searching for somebody better than those two. If you cant trust Parra to get a lefty out with a 4 run lead when can you trust the guy?

This is a very good point

Yep. That's pretty disappointing.

You may run like Mays...

As soon as Ax gets control of that slider/curveball, he'll be just fine. It would appear that tonight K-Rod could have his first chance at a save for the Crew. I am just a little worried about our middle relief though. 4 games is a small sample, but at the same time, there really hasn't been a bright spot yet.
