7/26/08 Astros (Backe) at Brewers (Bush): 6:05 CDT

[Brewcrewin07]

You just knew after a 7-0 road trip that they were going to come home and lay an egg didn't you?? I could sense it from a mile away. Granted, this one isn't officially over yet, but when you only have three hits off of Brandon Backe, things are not looking good.

 

Also, could we petition MLB to NOT allow the Cubs to play and finish any games before the Brewers even start their game?? The crew has been absolutely terrible this year under that scenario. I can think of at least 7 games like that this year where the Crew has already known the results of the Cubs game when their game started, and I am sure there are more then that, and the Crew has lost all 7 of those. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Somebody please tell me why Ned thinks using Mota is a good idea.

[Yeti73]

I know what you're saying about the cubs day games followed by our night games.

 

Hunter Pence is so annoying he could play for the Cards. He has 9 career hits off of us and 4 are HRs, two are 2Bs.

Mota is so lucky

[Brewer Fever]

It's time to start scoring some runs on this homestand. Let's go claim a share of 1st place!

Because he did a good job?

He really didnt tho. A couple hard hit balls right at a defender.

[LaprilOne]

El..

 

A flare to right, and a two hopper to short? Not really hard hit.

The 1st ball was smoked right at durham. He puts guys on every inning.

[ELCABALLO45]

I miss our offense http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[jwill535]

seriously this has to be the worst hitting team with RISP. Now I know they probably aren't, but come on.

[Yeti73]

These games are really annoying, but I'd actually prefer these games than a game where we're losing 8-10. It is much easier dealing with terrible hitting than terrible pitching.

 

That said, this is ridiculous. Let's go boys!

[bobskube]

Mota for two innings in row?

 

You are really asking for it then.

[BrewCityUnit]

How many scoreless innings in a row will Mota have to pitch for people not to complain when he comes in?

[bucks2281]

Pretty much everyone that follows the Brewers on a day-to-day basis knows about Mota's struggles. There are a number of relievers I'd rather see in a two run game. I think it's another example of Yost crossing his fingers, hoping for a good result.

[ELCABALLO45]

Mota still sucks

[DougJones43]

How many scoreless innings in a row will Mota have to pitch for people not to complain when he comes in?

Coming into this appearance, Mota had gone a whole 1.1 innings consecutive innings without allowing a run. In the game before that, he allowed 4 runs and 2 homeruns in 1 inning of work.

 

You're right, what else does the guy need to do to get some respect!

 

BTW, he did a great job tonight leaving with 2 runners on. Luckily, Riske just bailed him out.

[ELCABALLO45]

Nice job Riske bailing him out!

Let's try this again.

[BrewCityUnit]

I'm not saying I am a huge fan of bringing Mota in. The fact is, he is part of the 25 man roster and there will be times that he will be used....obviously more than you like.

 

I dislike Yost more than anyone I know, but it just gets old to see so much negativity on this board when this team is the best we have had in a long time.

Nobody's denying Melvin's role in keeping this bum on the roster. I'd much rather have Stetter.

[bucks2281]

RYAN BRAUN!!

 

Thank you!

[Brewcrewin07]

Braun!!!

[sauveb]

Nobody better complain about Braun's home run trot this time. He was pulling into 2nd base when it cleared the wall.

[ELCABALLO45]

MVP!!!
