what over.....did you say its over....................

[hauser42]

Anybody...I mean anybody who thinks Turnbow is still a money pitcher just really need to watch this guy more often.

 

That is why the Brewers need to pay Coco and get it done with.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Man. Did the bullpen have a late night kegger after last night's win. No one out there can pitch today.

 

Someday soon we'll win a series. On the positive, besides that 1st inning hic-cup by Sheeter the starters have thrown extremely well.

[funkyplaidcoat]

the wheels are officially off on this game.

 

make that 25-2 with a lead after 7 innings.

 

(prove me wrong, people...prove me wrong)

[SeriesFinale]

I felt pretty good after yesterday's comeback win, like they were turning the corner back

 

Very similiar to the feeling I had when they came back to beat Minnesota a Sunday ago and then promptly lost six of seven.

[sheetswannabe]

Change the shirt that saus Bill Hall wins games.. Here it is Turnbow losses games.

[Lil Dummy]

Although that was a collective tank job by the bully, for some reason I feel compelled to focus my ire on Turnbow. The next time he knows going into an inning that he's not going to throw a slider to anyone, would be nice if he'd go ahead and let Castro know that, so they could get somebody up in advance.

[JohnBriggs12]

All those who still don't think this bullpen needs some reinforcements please raise your hand.

 

Personally, I'd have gone with Cordero once they had 2 on with one out. Tomorrow they face Obermueller and they shouldn't need a closer in that one.

 

Spurling throwing BP. Maybe that should be his job. It might get the offense going.

[tyguy20204]

Time to drop Spurling after this game.

[Team Canada]

Wow, a horrible bullpen outing gets worse.

[burniebrewer]

Wow, what a way to ruin an afternoon. It was going so well....

 

I'm going to the liquor store.

[danzig6767]

Unbelievable, it seems Yost would rather use a lucky fan from the bleachers in the 8th inning than Cordero. I will never understand.

 

You must not have read the managers handbook,that's not allowed.

[jloos19]

Haha! Wow, this is unbelievable.

[Hammer]

Seriously...I know we are short in the pen...but wow, Spurling needs to be out.

[bobskube]

I have been getting on Spurling too because he has been getting lucky. He constantly allows deep flies and line shots right at people, but not today. They are landing in for hits.

 

I love this team to a fault and a couple guys screw up a great effort that are just not that good.

 

I even like Graffy and Counsell. However, please lose Spurling for Cappellan. Don't use Turnbow in the 8th and bat Bill Hall 6th or lower and I will be happy.

[sheetswannabe]

7 runs and 3 outs for the bullpen. I would have rather seen a Bush blowup

[SlideBernieSlide]

Spurls... Batting practice is suppose to take place BEFORE the game.

 

See you guys on Thursday. If Wes Obermueller shuts us on Thursday down I'm taking a break from baseball for 3 or 4 days.

[mpepy05]

Why did they pull Bush again? 91 pitches?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

bullpen=putrid

[billyhallfan]

this sucks, I just got into study hall, 5 runs in the 8th after being ahead??? I didn't think we were from Chicago, ahhh...This sucks...

[tigerbrew]

This is turning into a really ugly inning and it all started with those two horrible walks by Turnbow. I'm really annoyed with Turnbow.

[shelmark]

Spurling is a minor league pitcher. You only get lucky so long in the majors. He will be gone by July. As for Turnbow, if we are serious about contending there is no way we can trust him as our 8th inning setup man. All relievers struggle at some point but I think his confidence gets rattled and then he can't throw a strike. The 8th inning guy has to throw strikes. Anyone out there we can deal for?

[Herm]

Classic case of wasting a shut-down reliever because of the "closer" role. To me, you use your most dominant, shut-down guy to get the most important outs late in a game, even when they are not in the 9th. Today those outs were Renteria-McCann; once TBow got into trouble I'd use Cordero right there -- even if that means he would not be available for the 9th. I'd be much more comfortable relying on Shouse/Spurling/Villanueva or whoever to get three outs when starting an inning against the 5-6-7 hitters rather than wishing they could get out of a bases juiced one out situation vs 3-4

[bucksman4]

A 7-run inning. Absolutely pathetic. Talk about the wheels coming off big time.

[MillerParkSouth]

good thing Yost still has Cordero avaiable to pitch the 9th
