Why is Wise still out there? So we can't have him out there tomorrow when we need him?

---

 

If he throws one hitter he is done for the next day so might as well save someone else's arm...

 

If you are going to use him you might as well use him for multiple innings since he can't pitch consecutive days..

I don't know I guess Ned thinks we have a 8th inning rally in him.

The kids are going ton have win this one. Hart, JJ, Prince and Braun.

[brewmann04]

i agree why use wise now he can"t go for more than one game so you waste him here.

[Trowekamp]

Sure glad we kept Braun in Nashville for 2 months.. his glove is killing us.

[brewmann04]

i agree if the cards or Cubs get hot here the crew in big trouble.

 

if Ned going to use wise now he should have started the 7th like the plan from the start of the year.

[And That]

I have a bad feeling about this team right now. There just seems to be a malaise about them.

Yes.. yes.. yes..

[geothite]

Another quality at bat by one of the vets on the team.

Does anyone on this team know how to read a scoreboard?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

If my math is right, according to baseball-reference.com gamelogs, since the beginning of May, Shouse has inherited 17 runners, with 6 scoring. In the three situations in which he allowed inherited runners to score, Shouse entered with at least one out. (That's not counting tonight.)

That is what happens when you go into Miller Park and go out onto the field at Wrigley to play the game...

 

Also no team looks energetic when they are losing..

[And That]

I was about to jump through the television and strangle Counsell and Gross for those ABs.

I said about the same thing three weeks ago here, and was chastised from top to bottom for being "negative".

 

Folks, this team just isn't that good. I've said it here before in a different thread...I don't see that much difference from last year's team to this year's team. Horrible situational hitting, inconsistent defense, a bullpen that is spotty at best in middle relief, and a manager who doesn't know how to put his players in the best position for success.

With Wise's MO, he was already unavailable just because he pitched today.

I would say this team is drastically different from last year's.. they are playing bad and still above .500.. last year they played bad and fell off the face of the earth..

 

Also different..

 

- Hardy healthy

- Prince Mashing

- Youth (Braun, Hardy, Weeks, Hall, Hart, Fielder) will improve as the year goes on..

- I don't want to strangle Jenkins every game..

- We have 5 starting pitchers.. last year we could barely find 3..

- Yo is one call away..

I couldn't agree with you more. This is an average team in a terrible division. Our inept offense has put me in a really bad mood tonight.

[jimmyjeromehardy7]

Why does everyone including my gf understand that Bush tires after 6 except the one guy that makes the decision to leave him in?

 

Is this part of the plan to have a reason to send him to the pen and bring up Yo?

[brewmann04]

this team could be in trouble horrible clutch hitting.

[BrewCrewForever]

This has really turned into one of those puke games. When will Ned finally drop Estrada in the lineup instead of letting him continue to hit 5th?

[geothite]

I hope Jenkins isn't hurt bad enough to miss in sginifcant games because Ned will have Gwynn hitting behind Prince.

[And That]

...

[lumberrule]

Soriano did tonight what it takes Rickie Weeks about a week to do...get 5 hits.

check the records... if you take Red Sox out of the east and Brewers out of the Central the two divisions are almost duplicates (except for the extra team in the Central)...

 

Not the Brewers fault the other teams can't put it together.. of course I agree it would be nice if they had buried everybody this last month when they had a chance..

[crewcrazy]

It's getting to the point where I'm hoping for a bench-clearing brawl just to make things interesting. Ugh.

I've been asking the same question for a about 3 weeks. Since the last road trip at least.

[lumberrule]

All that's left tonight is for Derrek Lee to plant one in the left field bleachers about 450 ft away.
