2012-08-30 Brewers (Marcum) at Cubs (Raley), 1:20 PM CDT [Brewers lose wacky slugfest, 12-11]

[AZBrewCrew]

Ugh. K Rod is so frustrating.

[phnxcrew]

Better keep him in Ron, we might lose by two rather than one otherwise

[jason21nl]

Pretty poor defensive positioning right there

[pebadger]

This is why we can't have nice things.

[jason21nl]

RRR is a freaking joke of a manager

[phnxcrew]

Doug... please do not re sign all these piles of filth ... please

[AZBrewCrew]

Ridiculous.

[Dean Machine]

This morning I thought we might be able to flip Marcum and KRod for something (salary relief or whatever) but I guess that's back out the window.

[TURBO]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[topper09er]

[owbc]

The bullpen is a complete joke, it's amazing that the rest of the team hasn't given up after seeing this happen time and time again.

[TURBO]

Doug... please do not re sign all these piles of filth ... please

 

Does this include our manager, oh wait, we already extended him...

 

I never want to see K-Rod in a Brewer uniform again. Once he has his walking papers, along with the rest of these bums that populate our BP, it will be a relief.

[The stache]

Way to go, K Rod. You wanted to be a closer? Trash.

 

Brewers could have....should have been 4 under .500. The bullpen and Roenicke blow it again.

[yfinn6]

Was there no one else available in the pen once K-Rod started to struggle? The messed up part was that it looked like he had one of the hitters struck out (looking) to get the 2nd out. I believe that hitter then walked.. and scored the tying run.

[topper09er]

At least

HR Braun 36 Stanton 29

RBI Braun 92 Holliday 90

TB Braun 288 McCutchen 271

SLG Braun .610 Stanton .604

OPS Braun .999 McCutchen .975

[DuWayne Steurer]

Speechless...........

[trwi7]

DFA K-Rod

[pacopete4]

It wouldnt be so bad, if the rest of the team wasn't good. Honestly, if they all stunk I wouldnt care at all. Just chalk it up to a bad team/season. But, nooooooooo! It's like 3-4 guys. Constantly. 3-4 flippin guys that have tanked this entire season. Blame the manager, GM, blah blah blah. But its mainly 3-4 bullpen arms that have trashed this season. I hope Krod says hes retiring after this game. Go pitch in the old timer Dominican league or where ever he came from.

[dacbrewers]

Should of let Henderson pitch the ninth!

[rluzinski]

Bright side: Well, our offense (who will all largely be returning next year) continues to have a nice year. The bullpen can go away.

 

Note to self: make another thread tomorrow calling Rickie Weeks out...

 

I hope this is the start of a trend, and he gets back to being the hitter we all know he can be.

 

You want to ignore it for whatever reason but the trend started a couple of months ago.

[Lee16]

Is there some reason we don't just release K-Rod? He clearly has lost whatever talent he once had, and running him out there time after time has to be demorlaizing to the rest of the team, doesn't it? Send a message and just cut the guy, sheesh.

[torts]

apparently Loe was only going to pitch if the game went into extras, and Axford was unavailable. I guess they didnt have anyone else... ******* TPOT... I pulled into my drive way as Soriano was at bat... and walked into my house to find a pile of dog poop. thanks, dog.

[pitchleague]

outcome not withstanding, but I liked this comment from MLB Network:

 

LuCroy is the first catcher in MLB history to have 2 games with a grand slam and 7 RBI in the same season.
