I'm fine with moving Weeks up in the order based on the injuries and how he's hitting...but whats the rationale behind him batting 1 and Aoki batting 2? Wouldn't it make WAY more sense the other way around?

 

Aoki is faster, Weeks has more power...why not put the speed in front and the RBI/power guy behind him? Aoki is really a prototypical leadoff hitter, so let's move him somewhere else in the lineup.

Ron doesn't make sense often. What a bunch of hits by the cubs...when it rains I suppose.

[stoutdude04]

Ron probably thought he was going to be smart and use Aoki to bunt. He's smarter than the rest of us.

[stoutdude04]

Oh Gindl ...

[brwrsfan]

Has Gindl always been THIS bad in the field?

 

Once again, this is why we lose games. We're simply not a good team, everything goes wrong and it sure seems like the players really don't even care. Looking at the last two games, we've made so many errors, executed so poorly, it's like we're TRYING to lose.

[brwrsfan]

Now it's just becoming laughable. Drop a routine throw at 1b (that would have been out #4). Then give up a 3 run HR. You can't give teams, even bad ones, 5-6 outs in one inning (and that doesn't even count the easy caught stealing if Maldonado makes even an average throw to second).

 

Honestly, it simply appears that the team no longer cares. Yeah, we're out of it, but over half the reason remains, you can't just have players going through the motions in late June. That falls on the coaching staff for me. Heads need to roll.

They just wanted it more than the Cubs. Of course im referring to the worst record in the NL Central.

Well at least we'd move up a spot in next year's draft if that holds true...honestly, with the way we're playing, we can probably catch every team except Miami. They are beyond terrible.

Using a completely subjective system, I would categorize Peralta's 17 starts this year as

 

Bad: 9

Average: 4

Good: 4

[torts]

haltons first AB is as a pinch hitter for Peralta

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

so the Brewers take 2 out 3 against the Braves, but drop 2 out of 3 to the Astros and Cubs?

Seems the highlight of this game is the 20th anniversary of the racing sausages

Well done.

Bad vibes all around today.

I guess they wanted it more. This team doesn't make any sense and trades need to happen soon. Very soon.
