2014-08-03 Brewers (Garza) at Cardinals (Lackey), 1:15 PM CDT [Happy 31st birthday, Mark Reynolds!; Brewers lose, 3-2]

[AZBrewCrew]

Some of you act like RR wouldn't want to send his starter back out there in a 2-0 game while he's only thrown 71 pitches through 6 in a 1 hitter. Things happen. He went with Duke who's been good this year. And made a quick change. Now we'll see if Jeffress can keep it up.

 

Mark Kotsay in CF in the NLCS. Enough said.

After yesterday, I question Ron's handling of pitchers.

[Warning Track Power]

What a disappointment. Even thinking it through after the fact...What could Roenicke have possibly been thinking? Garza is pitching well. I could understand if we had a runner at 2nd and 3rd but man...he has us playing like we were losing 2-0.

Um...

 

Unless there's an injury, there was almost zero sense made by taking Garza out since he was dealing and had thrown very few pitches. Ron did them a favor.

I wish we could swear on this forum. It's the only thing that will make me feel better.

[gregmag]

You know that feeling you get when the Brewers are about to cough up a game? I hope my gut is off-kilter, but I have that feeling right now.

[Vgmastr]

You can tell Rock is seething right now.

[bucks2281]

If there is no injury to Garza, I'm done with RR. Inexplicable.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Stunningly. Predictable.

Agreed!!

[I Heart Brewers]

This one is squarely on RR. That move made no sense. How is this guy still the manager?

[sargennm]

Fire Ron now.

[BraunyBoy08]

NOW we decide to get a tight strike zone. WOW. That was a strike.

[adamb100]

Did Roenicke bet on the Cardinals for this game?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Awesome.

[yfinn6]

Way to give this game away, Brewers... looking at you RRR.

[PeaveyFury]

Absolutely stupid decision if there's no injury. Flat out moronic.

[MoreTrife]

Neshek and Rosenthal now. We will look like little leaguers for sure.

[pacopete4]

Shoulda went with Kintzler to get the double play ball...

[I Heart Brewers]

Also, as a clubhouse what does this do to your confidence when you know your manager is going to make stupid decisions like that so often?

[yfinn6]

You can tell Rock is seething right now.

 

He's awfully quiet, so I tend to agree with you.

[Eye Black]

Unless the Brewers offense can come up with something late, this is going to be one horribly disheartening way to leave St. Louis.

[BraunyBoy08]

Can't wait for Ron's excuse in the post game press conference. Ridiculous.

[AZBrewCrew]

Its the Matt Lepay show now.

[yfinn6]

Absolutely stupid decision if there's no injury. Flat out moronic.

 

This might be worse than Burrell/Shouse.. might be.
