2010-04-25 Cubs (Wells) at Brewers (Bush), 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 12-2]

[BrewCrewForever]

You can tell Zaun is starting to get upset with the zone.

At least someone is. Macha sure the hell isn't going to go out there an question the ump and ruffle any feathers. He wouldn't want to get put into a "zim-zam".

[B2k1121]

Just throw at Theriot and Fukudome every AB. They would do less damage that way.

[logan82]

Bush has got some borderline calls but not consistently. This ump is just all over. Unless you put it right in the middle you can't be sure of a strike. Wells does seem to be getting all the borderline calls while Bush isn't so far.

[BrewCrewForever]

Good idea Corey. It's just to bad Zaun is up next.

[logan82]

This is one of those games where we would be guessing which inning Yost would go out and get thrown out.

[Gobias Industries]

Zaun is a lot like Kendall. Instead of weakly grounding out though, he strikes out.

The 360 F Bomb was one of his most redeeming qualities.

[logan82]

I don't know, Zaun weakly grounds out quite a bit.

[Buckylovesbeer]

If Macha wanted to coach this team the entire season, this is going to be a game where he is going to have to do something......anything......besides sitting on his butt chewing his gum with his mouth open......

I was a HUGE fan of the 360 F-Bomb.

[Gobias Industries]

Yeah, you're right. He's only struck out 5 times. Seems like it would be more than that to me. Dude is always in a 0-2 count.

[jason21nl]

well, this is a bunch of crap

[BrewCrewForever]

At this point if we score 3 or 4 runs I feel like we had a small victory.

[GormanHarvey]

Can we at least try to make this interesting?? Its Randy Wells out there, not David Wells

[Gobias Industries]

I wish it was nice out so I could go golf or something. This is torture.

[BrewCrewForever]

Wells is getting that pitch. Bush is not.

[RightFieldCoder]

Sitting at this game is hard. The cubs are making it unenjoyable. Their fans are worse.

[Hammer]

I am ready for Zaun and Macha to be gone. Zaun cannot frame a pitch (I actually miss that part of J. Kendall) and is seemingly horrible at calling a game. Macha has completely lost this team and it is starting to show. These players seem to be just going through the motions this series. With the youth that is on this team it seems like they need a manager that is going to get on their butts and keep them focused. When they are going good...they are all happy. Now, they are all sagging and hoping that the game ends ASAP. Not a good situation right now...

[Buckylovesbeer]

That strike three call on Bush is the story to this game. Nobody has gotten that call all day. Especially Dave Bush. Awful.....

Amen Hammer. I would say the one thing that Kendall was good at was framing a pitch. Other then that not much difference between he and Zaun. As for Macha, he stinks. Just a joke.

[GormanHarvey]

I'm going to somehow try to say positive things...eventhough he is towards the end of his career, I still thoroughly enjoy watching Edmonds play defense. He gets unbelievable jumps on the ball

[BrewCrewForever]

Hey at least we are not getting no-hit that is about the only positive thing I can say about this game.

[Gobias Industries]

I know Zaun has been absolutely terrible, but I'd still take him over Kendall. I think from here on out he'll outproduce him.

[Buckylovesbeer]

I agree with both Hammer and BrewCrew. And today's game is a perfect example of all of the problems of the Macha era. I hate watching a baseball team "go thru the motions" and swing at everything - for example, Rickie Weeks striking out on a pitch over his head in the last ab. Its disgusting.

 

This team, these players, are a lot better than what they have shown in this series. Macha has got to go.

[GormanHarvey]

Who would you guys suggest to replace him?
