Since Villy just pitched on Sunday I doubt he'll be able to go much more than five innings, though.

24 pitches Sunday... Include warmups and I'm thinking that's still less than a normal side session for a normal starter... I would imagine he's not too fatigued. Probably 90-95 pitches if he's dealing.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Hardy.. That sucked

[wisconsinfan47]

It's like these guys are playing the "Find the new and creative ways to blow seemingly easy scoring opportunities" game.

 

The game was perfected by the 2004 Brewers and this year's club is making them proud.

[deeswan]

Now 1 for 6 with RISP already, the 1 hit doesn't score anyone, and J.J. with a horrible baserunning play to take away the possibility of an out producing a run. Gee, why are they 10-20 in their last 30?

[danzig6767]

Nice baserunning JJ,gonna blow three straight innings with a good chance to score.

[imblotto]

This is more frustrating than the no-hitter.

[thablingster]

This is another situation in which it is nice we have Vargas if we need him, considering if we need to DL Cappy and have Yo to take Vargas' spot Saturday he could probably do it (unless I am completely oblivious to when Yo's spot in Nashville's rotation comes up)

 

Ugh guys, way to run yourselves out of the inning.

[Schlitz001]

Sometimes I wonder if the Brewers couldn't squander a leadoff homerun.

[dpapo]

Okay, I can't see the game at the moment. How was Hardy out and yet Hart not score. According to Gameday, Hardy was out at second. Thanks.

[AJAY]

This is really getting old and tired. It's stuff like this that gets managers fired.

 

 

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

Not in Milwaukee it doesn't.

[wisconsinfan47]

Dpapo,

 

It was a shallow fly on the first pitch...Hart bluffed going to the plate, which drew a throw...Hardy attempted to go to 2nd on the throw, the throw to the plate was cut-off and Hardy was thrown out.

 

On the bright side, Villanueva is solid as always.

Shallow fly ball to Ordonez, Hart tagging up...throw hits the cut-off man, and Hardy (assuming Ordonez will miss the cut-off) gets gunned down at 2nd.

 

Poor baserunning for sure, but how often do you see outfielders hit the cut-off man these days?

[dpapo]

Thanks. Glad I wasn't able to see that. I'll probably get to see the Brewers fail to drive home runners in scoring position and make another dumb mistake in an inning or so.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Mench! Wall there. Thats grace

[madjeff66]

If they can get 5 out of Carlos and 2 out of Vargas and still be in the game after 7, that feels like a good evening in terms of avoiding severe bullpen damage.

[thablingster]

At least that is only one runner stranded instead of 2. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Well, there ya go.

[lumberrule]

Its just amazing how bad this offense is.

[TheCrew07]

I just stopped by to say that this notion that Villy best serves this team out of the pen drives me nuts. The kid can flat out pitch and get hitters out. Long term he belongs in the rotation, end of story. The bullpen is fine this year, just as it would be for Yo, but I will supremely disappointed if he's not a quality starting pitcher at some point.

[AJAY]

My hair is starting to fall out. I can't take this anymore.

[SeriesFinale]

Remember last year when everybody denigrated El Caballo's RBI numbers as a team stat

[augie46]

It seems like our baserunners can never go two bases on a single. Is it bad luck or are we bad baserunners?

[Bruce Ciskie]

Granted, it's only four-plus games, but our DHs are hitting .200 so far this season.

 

Maybe it's a really good thing we're not in the American League. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Remember last year when we weren't in 1st with a winning record?

 

EDIT: also remember when Carlos signed that $150 million contract?
