2012-06-07 Cubs (Garza) at Brewers (Wolf), 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-3, 10 innings, on Aoki walkoff HR]

[TURBO]

Morgan bobblehead day is Sunday, after that, if anyone will take him, I'm all for trading him...

[PrinceEatMeat]

Get Morgan off this team at this point. I just have too much fun watching Gomez and Aoki play

 

I'm with you on this. Just call-up Schafer to platoon with Gomez in CF if need be. Morgan isn't bringing anything to the table this year. Problem is that Gomez still can't hit RHP well enough, or Morgan would be riding the bench pretty much all the time.

Watch him sit tomorrow lol

If you are talking about Aoki, isn't that a given?

Problem is Gomez can't hit pitching well enough. The only reason he should be platooned is because your CF is terrible against LHP. Other than that, he is a bench guy.

Last year I would've agreed, but not with how Morgan is hitting this year. Gomez is also better in CF than Morgan. I do agree that Gomez isn't a very good hitter though. I like him starting and in the 8 hole though, just to have his defense in there. That platoon is what works best though.

I keep hearing that stat about the Brewers not losing a game with a lead in the 8th inning since July of last year or something... but hasn't K-Rod blown 3 games for us this year on his own? And Axford a couple? Maybe I'm not listening closely enough to what that stat is.

 

The games Axford has blown this year was the Reds game where they got two in the 9th, though the game was tied 0-0 in the 8th, another game against the Rockies where the game was tied 3-3 in the 8th and he blew the save against the Cubs that the Brewers came back to win 8-7 in 13 innings.

 

K-Rod gave up a homer to Kotsay but that game was 0-0 in the 8th. He lost a game to the Rockies but that was 1-1 in the 8th. He gave up a lead against the Dodgers but the Brewers scored two in the 9th to win. He lost a game against the Braves but that game was tied 8-8.
