2014-04-17 Brewers (Gallardo) at Pirates (Volquez), 6:10 PM CDT -- MATT LEPAY'S FIRST GAME [Brewers lose, 11-2]

[FVBrewerFan]

Yes, I made a snide comment about Scooter's arm. Doesn't mean I hate him. He has a bad arm, period. I've liked him since he was a Rattler, I still don't think long term he can play 2B full time, but he'll do for now.

[PrinceFielderx1]

might have just cost them the game.

[yfinn6]

Another leadoff baserunner wiped out with a ridiculous stolen base attempt. Gennett actually looked like he slowed down when he slid.

 

I think RRR has a card that dictates the classic situations. "leadoff runner gets on, pinch hitter, 5th inning or later: BUNT"

[TooLiveBrew]

Why would you waste Schafer to bunt there, just leave Gallardo in to bunt. Idiot RRR

Smallball killed that inning. Ugh.

[SRB]

I consider scoring less than 4 ER off Edinson Volquez to be a defeat.

[adambr2]

You know, every once in awhile, RR will start to grow on me. And then he'll do some insanely stupid things like he did that inning and everything goes back to normal.

This. Absolutely zero reason to use a bench player, let alone your best one, if you're gonna try to lay down 3 bunt attempts. Complete waste.

[valpocrewsader]

I hate Roenicke. Just keeps flushing our outs down the toilet with bunts and running. Can't freaking stand it. I literally watch games constantly nervous at how our outs will be squandered willy nilly. ARGHHH. Hate hate hate.

Yea, I figured he might swing away with 2 strikes, but then he tried again.

[trwi7]

Can we get rid of Brian? I like Matt much more.

And pretty much this too. The hit and run with your catcher trying to steal and a hitter with problems making contact. Fire him now. It's inexcusable and it keeps happening.

[FVBrewerFan]

Ok, it's probably been asked in IGT before but why do fans boo on a throw to 1st? I've never understood that. (And it REALLY seems to upset Pirate fans)

[FVBrewerFan]

WOOT off

[TURBO]

crap.

[SRB]

Runnin' Ron now literally running in and out of the dugout during the game.

[PrinceFielderx1]

might have just cost them the game.

 

It sure did......

[SRB]

Well, I see this team has turned back into a pumpkin.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Why would you waste Schafer to bunt there, just leave Gallardo in to bunt. Idiot RRR

Smallball killed that inning. Ugh.

 

No the inability to lay down a successful bunt screwed that inning.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Can we get rid of Brian? I like Matt much more.

 

Who's Matt?

[fondybrewfan]

Love it when posters respond to themselves.

 

Well Wooten isn't going to get in any more close game late anymore.

A manager with a regulation size brain would not have

 

1) Pulled a pitcher for a PH just to bunt

and

2) Had said pinch hitter bunt with 2 strikes.

[nate82]

 

Well Wooten isn't going to get in any more close game late anymore.

 

Well when you are worrying about a runner who isn't a threat to steal and leave a very hittable pitch down the middle of the plate that is probably a good decision. Not sure what Wooten was thinking there but he obviously wasn't using his brain he looked rattled and I am not really sure why he would be in that position.

Yep. Lucroy twice caught stealing in the last what? 3games? It's one thing if the catcher is poor at throwing out runners but Molina/Martin? Why are we running on these two? It's also another thing if it's Gomez or Segura getting thrown out because they are fast, by quite a bit over Lucroy/Gennett. I like small ball when its used wisely. But it's not being used wisely. Why run Gennett with Gomez at the plate and 1out? Just stupid.

Why run Lucroy with Davis at the plate? Who's been whiffing at pitches way out of the zone?

[coolcool]

Yup, coach cost the Brewers the game from a caught steeling.

[The stache]

Just checking in. The MLB.tv feed of the game is completely unwatchable, so you guys are going to be my eyes and ears tonight.

 

Thanks, MLB. Nearly three weeks into the season, and I still can't watch the games I paid $130 for.
