2013-04-26 Brewers (Burgos) at Dodgers (Beckett), 9:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-5]

[The stache]

At what point does he sit? 4 for his last 40. He is batting .100 his last eleven games. Enough is enough.

[Gobias Industries]

nice job of just looking at strikes and swinging at balls tonight, weeks. good strategy, bro.

 

i would have bet my friggin house he would of k'd there against belesario. what a joke.

[trwi7]

I'm not going to get on Segura for not getting the bunt down. That was a hard sinker going down and in. I blame Roenicke for a stupid call.

[rluzinski]

Not an awesome call but he also needs to put a bat on that ball.

 

The fact is that no batter can always put the bat on the ball, which is something most managers consider when deciding not to obsessively call for sueeze after squeeze.

 

Which has worked a ton for him?

 

I am sick of explaining this. What do you think is the break even point in that situation?

[danzig6767]

Weeks seems to look for the walk first which seems to result in a 2 strike count on most at bats.

 

It's amazing how often he looks at a first strike right down the middle and then K's on a pitch way off the plate.

[The stache]

It might be a small sample, but thus far, Scooter Gennett is hitting .417 at AAA Nashville. 25 for 60, .928 OPS. Can't we at least bring the kid up, because Weeks is useless at the plate right now, and awful in the field.

[AZBrewCrew]

Fwiw, it was mentioned earlier on the Dodgers broadcast that Rickie is a "slow starter" and his average last April was .189

I am saying, All managers for the most part terrible. They are all going to do something that is going to upset a fan base. So getting upset over a squeeze bunt over and over again when for the most part has worked for him in the past seems odd to me is all.

[chadomac]

The second I start to believe in yuni b he will go back to being yuni b. I know it!

[chickinbrickin]

All while Scooter Gennett is batting .406 in Nashville.

Yea, you look at that replay and it would be very difficult to get a bat on the ball. One more downside of the suicide.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

why would you swing at that??

[razzzorsharp]

Dang. Hold them here because League has given up runs the last couple times out.

[afeter]

a mohawk looks even dumber when you K

[jjkoestler]

Bellisario was nasty.

 

Edit: However he is not a handsome man.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

i really cant stand low iq players

[ELCABALLO45]

I can't decide if it's a good thing or not that I was expecting Yunibomber to get a hit there.

You don't get it.

[FVBrewerFan]

Gonzalez, Lalli, Aoki...doesn't sound very promising

And it's not like RRR doesn't know he throws a hard sinker. Or at least he should know that. In his career 88% of his pitches have been that hard sinker. You have to know that that's the pitch that's most likely coming and that it's a really hard pitch for a right handed hitter to bunt. Roenicke is just an idiot.

Our infield of the future, Segura and Gennett.

 

Can't we form Voltron, and get these two together now? Please?

Well good thing you added to the conversation with that. Everyone enjoys a conceded conversation so just keep going if you want. I am done now.

[brewmann04]

Please just sit Weeks he is just plain terrible right now.

[trwi7]

Gonzalez, Lalli, Aoki...doesn't sound very promising

 

Gonzalez will swing at three pitches out of the zone and strikeout, Lalli will ground flyout to shallow right, Aoki will do his weak one handed swing and ground out to the pitcher.

Last April he was coming back off a pretty messed up ankle. He has no such excuse this season. Without looking at the numbers I don't think Weeks has exhbited any sort of pattern of 'slow starts' while healthy. Which only makes his current poor form more concerning.
