2014-04-22 Padres (Kennedy) at Brewers (Gallardo), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 2-1, 12 innings]

[craigharmann]

Wow. How do you watch that go by?

[chickinbrickin]

Well so much for hoping for something positive from Weeks...

[yfinn6]

Damn.. I sorta feel bad for Weeks at this point. I know everyone is frustrated with him - I am, too - but his head has to be a mess. He was completely guessing on that strike 3 pitch.

[TURBO]

I truly feel bad for Rickie Weeks.

[brwrsfan]

More frustrating to watch...Yuni or Rickie?

 

Rickie. Easily IMO. Yuni was never good and we knew what was coming. But even Yuni at least hit the ball usually and did hit some HR last year. With Weeks, I'm stunned when he doesn't strike out.

Yeah, I guess its really whether the slow agony of a Weeks K is more frustrating than a first pitch pop up.

[SoupTown]

I hear Kintzler is back Friday if his Wed bullpen goes well. And his Monday bullpen was great they say!

Weeks is making almost as much money in this year alone than Yuni did in his entire career. At least with Yuni you knew what you were going to get.

I feel bad he hasn't been released yet.

[SoupTown]

If you are one of the other 24 players, are you worried your management does not have the nerve to cut Rickie. Weeks had a couple of great years. I think a couple more than 99.99% of the earth's inhabitants. It is not like you are killing the guy by cutting him. He should be cut. Immediately.

[SRB]

Not making things easier for Rickie that the only time we see him now is in a situation like bottom of the ninth vs. Dale Thayer. Hard to break out of a slump that way.

Figaro's AAA numbers really weren't very good...did he just have a blow up inning?

[PrinceFielderx1]

Figaro figaro figaro!!!

[PrinceFielderx1]

Figaro! Throwing heat.

[hawing]

Cheese sandwiches, anybody?

[PrinceFielderx1]

stick to your FB Figaro!

[brwrsfan]

Denofio is annoying the hell out of me tonight. I disagree Bill, that really wasn't a great pitch on 0-2. It was a hanger.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Denorfia I hate.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Paint that out side corner with a FB at 96 mph

[SoupTown]

I think we have a few interchangeable MLB/AAA guys. Figaro was not bad in MLB last year. He should be one of the shuttle guys like Wooten and I guess Hand. And maybe after the super 2 period we may even see Nelson up and down to pick up MLB innings.

 

Funny, Ron even said he was going to shuttle our bench players as well! I like that new attitude.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Good set up pitch. Now go outside

[PrinceFielderx1]

Outside. Not very hard to do...

[PrinceFielderx1]

Now lower it some in same spot.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Figaro! I like this guy already..

[brwrsfan]

What happened there Luc? Sure seemed like he would have had a play at second. Not sure if he just lost grip of the ball or the backswing nicked him or what. Let's hope it won't matter...
