Why does Mench always look like he's moving in Slo-mo when he's running?

 

I thought people were saying he'd be better defensively than Carlos.

 

I'm not seeing it.

[Shampoo4U]

Did Ash put the jinx on Shouse also??? He did a good job of the jinx on Kolb.

[BrewCrewForever]

Win 3 in a row, lose 3 in a row. It's like clock work with this team. I think we are officially out of the wild card now.

[TheEndless7]

Who thinks we should really just give up?

[Rob]

Pull Cappy one batter earlier.

[bucksman4]

Ah, good stuff, newsflash, we are not a playoff contender. Not the way we play baseball on the road.

 

Yeah, I think I sent out that newsflash a few weeks back. The team hasn't won on the road all year long. Because they were within 3 of .500, why would people all of a sudden think things would change? Almost 20 games under .500 on the road doesn't cut it and it's an insult to the game of baseball to consider your team a contender with that horrible of a showing on the road.

[hawing]

Bucksman. What a surprise.

[BrewCrewForever]

Oh yeah and I agree with what someone else said, Mench always looks like hes in slow motion, and he has hit like crap with the Brewers. Thank God we got Cordero in that Lee trade cause Mench sure was not the center point.

[Shampoo4U]

It is always fun to lose to teams that have maybe 3,000 to 10,000 fans show up. Remember, it is all about the fans.

40,000 show up at Miller Park and they can't continue it on the road.

[Rob]

I'm not sure there is one Brewer who really thinks they can win a close game on the road.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Who thinks we should really just give up?

 

Even when they get mathematically eliminated, I hope like hell our players don't give up.

[bklynbrewcrew]

We are not contenders, never were contenders never will be contenders with this team that we put on the field.

[Shampoo4U]

Which Ben Sheets will show up Monday night???

[wOOgiE22]

i have a feeling that the crew is going to get swept tommorow, and then lose 2 out of 3 at houston. hope they can prove me wrong, but they have done nothing this season on the road not too.

[Shampoo4U]

I wonder if the lockers or the Fist of Prince will win??

[bklynbrewcrew]

This team hasnt shown anything all year. We get excited with a 3 game winning streak. That in itself is pitiful.

[saget]

I don't understand how this team can be such a dramatically differant team on the road.

 

It's like night and day with home and away games.

 

They play so well at home and then they go on the road and look like the worst team in baseball.

 

I don't get it.

[DougJones43]

I don't think it was a bad decision to leave Capuano in. I would have done the same thing.

 

I do think that Kevin Mench might actually be worse defensively than Carlos Lee. That was pathetic. He can't hit either. He's a bad baseball player.

 

BOO!

[bucksman4]

Bucksman. What a surprise.

 

My comments were quite accurate. Re-read them before you go ahead and make a donkey of yourself calling me out.

The '87 Twins went 29-53 on the road. They were contenders. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

This series is one kick to the nads after another. Cappy threw lights-out for the most part today and the offense could only muster 2 runs of support? That's Sheets-like. I can only cringe in horror as to what I think the actual Ben Sheets will get for support tomorrow night.

I think she was pointing out how you pretty much only show up when things go bad. And don't call names.

[TeeJayh1980]

Lets bring up some youngsters like Braun for the remainder of the season. What could be so bad about that?

[Brewers77]

There are plenty of people who basically just post negative crap followed by more crap. I just tune those people out. Every player cannot make any mistakes and must get hits every game. If they dont, yost is to blame.

[bucksman4]

When do you draw a line between seeing where the problem lies? Is the problem really Yost or is it that lack of big league talent on this club right now that's hurting us? How can someone legitimately blame Yost for a loss like today? The players didn't execute (Graffy and Prince's horrible fielding....Mench's turtle speed and mishandling of the winning run...etc.). Maybe we need better players. I see all OF spots that can be improved on. We need a 2B who can field (meaning Weeks could be expendable this off-season). I see a 3B issue. I see a SS in Hall who should be full-time next year there (thus making Hardy expendable). People have to realize these spots can be upgraded and having a glut of INF's can be a good thing. Nobody should assume all of these young guys will be around next year. At least I hope they won't. We could get good pitching for them.
