2012-07-05 Marlins (Buehrle) at Brewers (Fiers), 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-0]

[Outlander]

Good thing they did that double switch to keep Veras in there.

[fondybrewfan]

Can we just surrender after the 7th inning already. Jeez. Might as well cheer for PIT and CIN wins now just so we can be put out of our misery

[Raw Biz]

Again, this bullpen is not playoff material. Sell please. I know Melvin said he'd wait until after the next 4 series but I don't see a reason for that. Even if they end up winning the division/wildcard (which is highly highly unlikely), they would probably lose the 1st round against a quality playoff team. They might as well start taking offers now to maximize any return.

If nothing changes here, this is going to be the most unsatisfying split of a 4 game series I can ever remember. My interest in this team is lower than it was on some of the Brewers terrible teams of the early 2000's. Other than Fiers, there really isn't any young guys playing that you can get excited about. The one position player (Green), never even plays.

 

The Marlins have a different perspective of this series. It could easily have been a 4 game sweep of the Brewers, except for the Bell blown save on Tuesday and the pathetic defense ruining Zambrano's outing on Monday.

 

From an objective perspective, it's two mediocre teams splitting a poorly played series.

That's really a great way to look at it. Neither team looks playoff caliber at all right now.

[Glennron]

Bruan's accounted for 7 outs in 4 AB's. That seems almost impossible to do.

[markedman5]

Braun bounces into his 3rd dp of the game....had 4 all year......

I wasn't suggesting the Brewers deserved to sweep. The fact remains is that the Brewers split after taking the first two, and the Marlins salvaged a split after losing the first two. Both teams are going to the same place, however (no where).

[Funketown]

The Brewers are now 7.5 games back with three superior teams ahead of them in the standings by at least 5 games. It's getting extremely unlikely at this point with the quality of this team's roster to make a playoff run. The minor league system is still depleted. Finding a good buyer for Greinke is the best thing that could happen to this team right now.

I have felt that way for a few weeks now. It is nice to see Maldanado though. The worst part is that I don't think we even have much in the way of young players to look forward to like we did back then.

[brewmann04]

sorry but i can't see this team spliiting the 3 seies after the break so there needs to be a HUGH FOR SALE Hung UP>

[TURBO]

disgusting.
