2013-05-11 Brewers (Burgos) at Reds (Latos), 3:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 13-7]

[markedman5]

RRR was upset in the post game that he had to keep Burgos in the game. Almost starting tearing up. He said not only was Gorzelony hurt but Ax was down after throwing a bullpen and pitching yesterday and Figaro was also down. Was disgusted that he had to use Henderson in a game 6 runs down.

 

Said it was a "bad day for us"......I'd agree with that Ron......I think we could say its been a bad year for just about the entire pitching staff.....

I think that Burgos would be a great long reliever. Puerto Rico used him as a long reliever in the WBC. That bullpen really needs a rebuild. Brewers have 3 legitimate pitchers in Gallardo, Lohse, and Peralta. The team can count on those guys to go at least 6 innings.

 

I wouldn't say you can count on either Peralta or Gallardo to go at least 6 innings maybe against the Cubs, Astros, or Marlins but definitely not against any other team. Gallardo looks worse than Fiers did early in the season right now.

RRR was upset he had to keep Burgos in for two more outs? If one of your relievers cannot throw, why would you not have a guy on a plane in time for the game. It is easy to manage when every starter goes 6 or 7. Maybe you can tell how good your manager is when things do not go according to your cookie cutter plan.

 

Who is planning to start tomorrow? Which starter needs their bullpen today? I don't have an answer. But surely the answer from the Brewers every game cannot be... we give up, the other team is just too good, we played some good teams, we had some bad luck.

 

Maybe the Crew need to take a seven game stretch and say 'we are going to play this like the world series... all stops pulled out'. Because the current approach is not working really well.

 

Can we have another 9 game win streak please. We are needing it.

This is a horrible idea.
