5/3/08 Brewers (Parra) at Astros (Backe): 6:05 PM CDT

Once Parra gets to 50 pitches, he gets lit up like a Christmas tree.

 

Now a passed ball.

[trwi7]

At least Kendall still has his defense. Can't even catch a pitch thigh high right down the middle.

[rluzinski]

If you feel this team is playing well tonight that's your right.

 

Look out, strawman!!!!

[Brewcrewin07]

I don't care what it costs Doug, as long as you don't have to give up one of the core players on this team, go get a top of the rotation starter.....NOW!!!

Bronx Cheer for Out One

[bobskube]

If the Brewers get one game under .500, Yost must be fired.

 

There is precedent because the Brewers did the same thing in 1982 with Buck Rodgers.

They were more than one game under .500 when Rodgers got fired, if I remember correctly

I don't know how we could compare the two situations anyway, especially now that Gallardo's gone

What's Jamey Wright up to these days?

[TabbertBB]

Why not just have two starters per game. One that pitches innings one to four the other five to 8. Then bring in Gagne. Since our starters can only pitch 4 per game.

[Brewcrewin07]

If I'm Doug I package ANY of the following 3 players(if that is what it takes) to get a top flight starter.....Hardy, Gamel, LaPorta, Escobar.

[SeriesFinale]

Looks like the Crew was 23-24 when Rodgers got fired, my bad

[markedman5]

So because the Brewers fired somebody 25 years ago under different management that means they should do the same in 2008?

 

Ok......

OK. Let's all just jump on me. Cripes.

 

[Ennder]

Well the Brewers probably should have fired Yost at the end of last season but that is a conversation for another day.

[SeriesFinale]

I'm amazed they only scored 5 runs in that inning

[owbc]

I like the two starters per game idea. Since they are only pitching 4 innings, we can go down to a 4-man rotation.

 

#1 Sheets + Suppan

#2 Villanueva + Parra

#3 Bush + Torres

#4 Weaver + McClung

 

No need for situational left handed relievers!

[rluzinski]

Hey, you know what would be nice? The Brewers putting up a couple of run the next innings and getting back into this game. Pretty please?

[owbc]

Agreed, time for our own version of back-to-back homers. Send it to the Crawford boxes, Braun!

[Ennder]

This is a must score inning! That is even better than a must win game.

[rluzinski]

Backe must have gotten tired from hitting 350 ft bombs last innings

[HurricaneBraun]

Nice job Hart!

[hawing]

As for two "starters" per game, I wondered about that out loud in the chat Friday night. Get to a point where all you have are guys who can go 4-5 innings and double them up.

[B2k1121]

I like the two starters idea because this is just ridiculous.

[HurricaneBraun]

HR ties the game, lol

[owbc]

Time for Gywnn to get jammed and pop up a 330 ft home run to left.
