2013-04-20 Cubs (Jackson) at Brewers (Burgos), 6:10 PM CDT [Burgos' MLB Debut, Brewers win, 5-1]

[TURBO]

Loe warming up in the bullpen...could get interesting!

[MVP2110]

Kinztler has been pretty reliable all year. Kintzler, Henderson, and maybe Axford are trustworthy. I'm still holding out hope that Gonzalez will turn it around. Badenhop and Gorzelanny I'm not sure.

For the most part I trust those Kintzler Henderson & Gorzelanny, Im coming back around on Ax and think Badenhop & Gonzalez are better than they have pitched so far. I actually think our bullpen winds up being pretty solid this season. No great players but an overall solid group I think. Much better than last year

Gonzalez was pretty good last year. I'm hoping his bad start is just a case of the April blues. If he can go back to being what he usually is, we have a real solid and reliable reliever. Axford little by little is regaining his mojo. I would keep having him pitch in the 7th until he's got his stuff back. Bump him up to the setup role when he is ready. Henderson has looked solid. Gorzelanny and Badenhop are what they are. They will look good at times and at other times they will stink up the joint. Figaro has been ok. I agree that we could end up having a solid bullpen. No All-Stars (unless Axford goes back to his 2011 form) just solid relievers.

That inning looked pretty good out of Gonzalez considering we have ZERO range over at 3b.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

nice inning of work from gonzalez. i wonder who is coming out for the 9th, Axford or Henderson?

[AZBrewCrew]

Kameron Loe time!

BA proclaiming that Loe was a popular player in Milwaukee?

I'm not watching, but did he mean that fans loved him as a really good player or just that he was popular amongst his teammates (which he was) and well liked as a person by fans (which he seemed to be - at least I thought he seemed like a cool dude)?

BA isn't doing the game.

My bad, just used to typing his initials I guess...

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

looks like figaro will pitch the 9th

Thanks a lot for the tailgate tip. I don't think people could have figured out how to make beer brats by themselves.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

gonzalez back out for another inning. axford and henderson getting some rest.

[TURBO]

Gonzalez trying to go 2 innings is not wise.

true wisconsinites don't need to be told how to make beer brats. i could make them in my sleep.

It is quite the complex process apparently!

[The stache]

Hey guys, looks like Hiram Burgos had a heck of a debut. He can't get the win though, can he? Only pitched 5 innings.

[AZBrewCrew]

Every time I hear Stranglehold I think the WSSP postgame is starting

[TURBO]

Yes, he is the pitcher of record. You have to go 5 innings to get the win as a starter.

[The stache]

Please Ron, it's really time to move Rickie down in the order. 4 for his last 44 with 22 strikeouts is bad for even a slump. Move Lucroy up, and drop Rickie down a few spots until he gets his confidence back.

[BradWI]

Time for Burgos to get pie faced.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

6 in a row baby!!!! back to 500. congrats to burgos on a succesful debut

[The stache]

Yes, he is the pitcher of record. You have to go 5 innings to get the win as a starter.

 

You're right, they have to pitch through five, meaning five innings completed. I feel like a dumb ass. I've only been watching baseball since 1979, you'd figure that was automatic for me. I'm still waking up.

 

Brewers are looking good. I know it's the Cubs, but they are still a Major League team.

 

I like it! I will happily watch the game on the old Roku after I take my shower.

[The stache]

.500 baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[azcheesehead]

They have a better record than the Los Angeles Yankees, or whatever they're called. Who saw that coming a week ago?
