2014-09-01 Brewers (Nelson) at Cubs (Turner), 1:20 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-2; 6th straight L & slip out of 1st place in division]

[Pugger]

Is there an announcer that works for their team that doesn't put an overly positive spin on their team?

 

97% of the time when we are on the road we get stuck listening to the other announcers and some of them are much worse than BA and Rock, trust me.

[Pugger]

Ramirez gets a 2-0 count and then proceeds to swing at the next 3 pitches, 2 of which are balls.

 

And why do major league hitters swing at a 3-0 pitch? If the pitcher can't find the plate why help him out? It drives me crazy when I see hitters do this - and it isn't just our guys who do get themselves out hitting at stuff off the plate.

RR after the game " You know Turner really threw the ball well......great fastball and mixed in the change....we couldn't get any breaks....hit a lot of balls hard.....I liked our energy...we will get it going tomorrow"

 

 

Switch "RR," with every other manager in baseball and you're probably close.

 

That said, if we can't find a way to come back here, I'm going from worried to panicked.

 

Our offense will get going with time...but we don't have a lot of time. Hopefully we'll come out of this funk like the last one and get hot.

 

We can't be much worse...

[Pugger]

Just want to state. If we lose to Chicago tomorrow Milwaukee will have the worst record of all the NL Central teams since their 20-7 start.

 

If we are honest with ourselves before the season started nobody thought we'd contend for the division, let alone a WC spot. Maybe now they are crashing back to what they always were but were masked most of the season by superior pitching. Now that the pitching isn't as stellar the entire team is going down too. Depressing as hell, that's all I can say about it.
