2010-04-24 Cubs (Lilly) at Brewers (Davis), 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-1]

[wOOgiE22]

Excuse me Macha? Why in the heck is DD still in the game?

[Gobias Industries]

Sending Davis back out here is just silly. He has a good confidence building outing and is over 100 pitches.

yeah, no kidding. I thought gameday was just frozen. No reason for that.

[hawing]

It's well documented that I am an enthusiastic fan of the Sharpie, but even I would like to see someone else pitching now, for just the reasons Ennder cited.

 

Edit: and he's out now. Got his ERA down to 8.35, which at least is an improving trend.

[bylo tesi me]

It's frustrating watching Lilly and Dempster pitch against the Brewers. I'm subjected to enough Cubs games to know they are not as unhittable as it appears.

[Ennder]

Lou lets Lilly bat and then removes him without facing another hitter and then puts in a LHP to face Hart. Just odd managing all around.

[Gobias Industries]

Well, hopefully Z is wild. He owns Weeks.

[Gobias Industries]

Well that sucked. Nearly hit weeks' knob on his bat.

[wOOgiE22]

Yeeesh a little check swing ground ball. The Cubs are doing to us what we did to the Pirates, only 1 run in two games so far

[Invader3K]

The offense is just really not coming through tonight here. Disappointing.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Two runs guys, come on!

[wOOgiE22]

Make that 3 runs, just don't have it the last couple of days

[Buckylovesbeer]

Nevermind......ugh

[wOOgiE22]

Game, Set, Match.... another underwhelming performance for the Crew tonight. At least we have the slump breakers the Pirates coming in next week.

[hawing]

At least we have the slump breakers the Pirates coming in next week.

You hope. They should be motivated to improve.

[thablingster]

Narveson has given up a run in each of his last 5 outings. He hasn't had a good stretch recently.

[Buckylovesbeer]

No way that is a strike to McGehee.....the ump giving the respect to big Z for no reason.

[jjkoestler]

That was definitely a strike. Casey was fooled badly.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Being fooled has nothing to do with a strike. This ump has not given the low/inside strike to right handed hitters all nite. However, he has given that spot, which is low/away to lefties, as Prince has been pounded in that spot all night.

[Rhett16]

Narveson is making it a little easier for them to justify running Suppan out there every 5th day, ugh.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Narveson struggled ...... Parra has been good. Is the debate now over on who will eventually have to take Suppan's spot in the rotation?

[Gobias Industries]

Lou really likes to burn thru his bullpen.

[Gobias Industries]

Kottaras batting in the 9th. Classic Brenly: "It's Kottaras' first AB against a lefty this season." Hmmmm. Now with what hand was Ted Lilly throwing in innings 1-6?

 

So glad he's not in the Brewers' announcing booth.

Or dugout, for that matter.

Our the Brewers dugout as the manager.

[BrewCrewForever]

the most disappointing thing about this game is that Doug Davis pitched really well and the offense did nothing for him. It's a shame.
