2014-05-15 Pirates (Rodriguez) at Brewers (Gallardo), 12:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-3, Kh. Davis walkoff hit]

Not mad at him. Just sick of seeing homeruns kill our pitchers. Estrada and Yo are two of them that seem to give them up frequently.

machete home run

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

damn it. more like machete strike out

High school pitcher me would kind of like a crack at this Brewers lineup.

Me too. Though they can probably still hit my 75mph fastball...

 

I understand injuries happen and losing Braun, Ramirez, Gomez, etc is big blow, but it sure doesn't help that we can't replace them in the lineup with guys better than Hererra, Bianchi, Overbay, etc.

 

Those guys aren't MLB caliber IMO. We didn't make any real attempt to sign any competent backups or have a MLB caliber bench, and we're paying for it big time right now. It's pretty tough to win games when your pitchers have to practically be perfect.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

wow ***

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

nice!!! DP

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

alright just get this guy out and you guys are out of the jam

[pretendastronaut]

Compound our lineup issues with how "good" we are at day baseball, and this weekend in Chicago could be really frustrating.

I like that on the replays you can see all the sunflower seed shells on the ground around Reynolds.

[dlk9s]

Looks like RRR is swapping Lucroy and Maldonado with Wooten coming in. That seems like over-managing to me.

 

EDIT: Oh, it's a double-switch. Guess that's cool.

i agree with this call. thornburg had been shaky this inning. he got a little lucky getting a DP.

 

however, I definitely don't agree with the reliever choice. why wooten in a tight game with a guy on 3rd?

My TV is actually only 720, but I am in the market for a new one, as it's dying. #firstworldproblems

[reillymcshane]

nice job by reynolds. ditto wooten.

 

tyler sure looked shaky again.

 

it's the nature of the beast with relievers (i guess all pitchers).

Go smart TV route. You can hook up wireless internet and watch MLB TV on it. Pre installed app

Time to get some hits going. Our offense really needs to have a breakout game.

[pacopete4]

I think Thornburg is coming back down to earth.

 

Come on offense, lets go!

[PrinceFielderx1]

That was the worse AB I've ever seen.

[reillymcshane]

That was the worse AB I've ever seen.

i have to agree.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

this is disgusting and pathetic. it's a miracle this team has the record it has with scrubs like herrera and bianchi on the roster.

[PrinceFielderx1]

That was the worse AB I've ever seen.

i have to agree.

 

Why is this guy on the team again?

[reillymcshane]

I hope Rickie cranks one, just to shut the friggin' pirate announcers up.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

i hope gomez comes back quick. this team looks real useless without him. braun has been crap with the exception of the phillies and pirates series.

I'm watching the game on my TV with the MLB TV app right now, actually. Streaming with Chromecast. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I have to leave in 5 minutes.

 

I wish new TVs came without the smart features so I could save some money. They're nice, but with Chromecast and a million other devices that can stream, built-in features are a waste of money.
