Finally.

 

Get this lead back.

 

Play some real baseball, not this garbage from the past two innings.

[Bruce Ciskie]

I can't believe that I'm sitting here wondering why we traded Obermueller.

[adambr2]

Well, at least we can use a pinch-hitter this inning, eh?

[And That]

Nice knowing ya, Joe. Good luck with the rest of that.

[JET15]

The Garbage Man comes in with the bases loaded and

The crappy starts are just bad luck because of injuries but Melvin didn't upgrade the bullpen at all during the offseason.

He got Kolb back for middle relief and his primary long relief guy Helling is injured.

Well.. Winkelsas was definately the answer. 13 pitchers and he's the best the Brewers could come up with in a crucial situation? This time we even had a lead, not like we were already trailing by 8 runs.

[sweepscc]

exactly. He got a guy Ned doesn't trust with a lead to replace Julio Santana who was trusted and pretty darn good in key situations for most of last year.

[endaround]

We could have gotten Obermueller back. He was released by the Braves.

[PeaveyFury]

The POS bullpen is all on Melvin. The crappy starts are just bad luck because of injuries but Melvin didn't upgrade the bullpen at all during the offseason.

 

Dan Kolb?

[Bruce Ciskie]

So what's Winkles' ERA at now? I'm scared to look.

Seriously, wasn't this the situation to bring in Capellan? You knew this pitcher was only going to go one inning with the pitcher's spot up.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

isnt chuck crim available

[True CryM]

Hahaha GROSS is pinch hitting? What?

[madjeff66]

If they play this right, this should go a long way toward giving us closure on DLR as a starter. He has a DL'able injury. Be patient before his rehab assignment to build up his arm strength, use the 30 day rehab to give him 6 starts in Nashville, and see what you have.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Good start to the inning, gentlemen.

i'd rather have Mark Clear.

[saget]

Way to answer back with authority

[Bruce Ciskie]

Nothing like taking pitches that are entirely too good to take in those situations, fellas.

[undertow67]

... And of course Hancock strikes out the side in the bottom half of the 4th. Must be nice to have competent middle relievers.

[PeaveyFury]

I love how we're walking guys left and right, but the strikezone for the Cards reliever was the size of the Grand Canyon.

 

That strike 3 called on Rickie was clearly high, and even off the plate inside.

[adambr2]

Nice call going to Capellan....one inning too late

 

Then again, maybe not...are we really going to let this slip away? Really?

 

And Carlos, how about showing some hustle out in left...

or bob mcClure

[Bruce Ciskie]

Rickie should have swung. It was too close to take.

 

This is ridiculous, but at least we led for a little while.
