7/9/08 Rockies (Rusch) at Brewers (Sheets); 7:05 PM CT

Same for Greenie Boy in center. Played that like a Little Leaguer. I expect a rookie to not be aware of a game situation, not a seasoned veteran.

 

Um, yeh.

[bbaehman]

SECOND CAREER HR!!!! Four runs after 2 outs

[bucks2281]

Why would Ned use Mota in that situation? Baffling.

 

Mota has to been close to the edge. One more of these outings and he'll be DFAd

[trwi7]

Mota < Turnbow

[Schlitz001]

Brian Anderson, "My goodness, what happened to this game."

[TeeJayh1980]

Can we bring Dillard back up and just cut Mota? Hey Ned, is that 900 foot homerun enough for you to get your dumb ass out of the dugout?

Ned's still wetting his pants penciling in CC, Sheets, CC, Sheets, CC, Sheets on the remaining games of the season.

 

[MillerParkSouth]

Mota is seriously awful. Holy crap. Get rid of him and bring up DiFelice or something because this is getting ridiculous.

[cruiserx43]

Seriously what is the love affair with this guy.

[Shootkick1000]

(sigh)

 

So the O's want WHOM now for Sherill?

[sdcheezhd]

Well we'll never have to see Mota ever again. That's definitely worth the 2d HR.

[brewmann04]

MOTA NEEDS TO BE CUT RIGHT AWAY ,WHY GET A PREMIRE PITCHER TO JUST WATCH THIS GUY BLOW UP. MOTA NEEDS TO GO THE WAY OF TURNBOW.

[brewers19]

How does DiFelice not have spot on the roster?

[mastershake76]

VOMIT

 

I certainly hope you all are right about this being it for our buddy Guillermo. I'm not spending another dime at that ballpark if there is even the slightest chance I'll have to watch Mota again.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Brian Anderson, "My goodness, what happened to this game."

 

The 40-IQ moron who "manages" this team still thinks Guillermo Goata can pitch and is generally incapable of managing his sock drawer, much less a major-league bullpen.

 

You'd think, Brian, that a pretty intelligent guy like yourself would have already figured this out after over a year of seeing it first-hand and having to spend time interviewing said manager. But I'll chalk up the utter stupidity of this question to general frustration over what you know, instead of ignorance of the situation.

 

Good to see JJ back to JJ form. You know, hitting popups and swinging at dreadful pitches.

[Pedro]

What's that definition of insanity again? Doing the exact same thing over and over a but expecting different results. That's how I feel about Mota and the 8th inning (or any inning). Insanity. Why, Ned? Why?

[MillerParkSouth]

If we end up losing 3 of 4 at home to the Rockies, I might freak out. Mota has got to go. He's rapidly approaching Turnbow territory here. How we go from down 1, 2 outs to down 5 is beyond me.

[bbaehman]

Good for the fans to BOOOOOOOOOO! I was doing it to the TV. Hopefully Mark A. hears it along with Doug M.

Plus, the Cardinals have tied the game in Philly 2-2 in the 7th...

[Brewcrewin07]

If this doesn't motivate Doug to go get a lights out bullpen arm, nothing will.

[phxMILWfan]

Just caught up with the game on my Tivo, I thought we wanted to win now? Why would he put Mota in? Seriously, who didn't see this coming? I know people make mistakes but when you make the same mistake over and over, thats innexcusable.

[bucks2281]

Looking over my shoulder, I see the New York Mets. Time to shape up, Brewers.

[brewmann04]

well it seems like the brewers anual all star break swoon.

They seem to always fall apart coming into the break.

[bbaehman]

that is a ball....bad call

[phxMILWfan]

Seriously what is the love affair with this guy.

 

Did Mota play for the Braves before or something? I don't get it either.

[tigerbrew]

The 40-IQ moron who "manages" this team still thinks Guillermo Goata can pitch and is generally incapable of managing his sock drawer, much less a major-league bullpen.

Totally agree with you.

[mastershake76]

Ned looks to be managing his way out of a job here. "It's just one game, guys" he will scold us in the post-game presser. But it's one game here, one game there, Ned, and pretty soon you're on the outside looking in come playoff time. You think Doug is going to keep your sorry bleep around if you miss the playoffs after he went out and got C.C.? It's all neat and good that you like to show confidence in your guys, but please make it the right guys.
