2010-05-18 Brewers (Parra) at Reds (Bailey), 11:35 AM CDT [Brewers, Hoffman lose 5-4]

[trwi7]

How many more are jumping on the Hoffman is done club?

[tigerbrew]

Damn you Hoffman, why the hell are you still the closer.

[tdeggie]

my goodness ... Hoffman's 600 can't come soon enough so Macha doesn't feel obligated to send him to the mound in a save opportunity. Get him out of there NOW!!!!!!!!!!

[T B0NE 10]

So how many times does Macha have to see this before he stops putting him out there.

[sheethead]

LOL, everyone relax! Trevor will be fine once he settles down.

[RobDeer 45]

I'm laughing right now (and wanting to cry at the same time).

[Funketown]

Sorry, Marco

 

Sincerely, Trevor Hoffman

[thablingster]

You have to be kidding me. Wow. I have no words other than this team can't buy a win right now, but the game isn't over yet so I won't even go there! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Oldcity]

Let's tank and get Bryce Harper.

[bklynbrewcrew]

Macha and Hoffman both need to go. There was absolutely no reason to take out Estrada.

[trwi7]

Call me nuts but I would like to see Estrada pitch the ninth.

 

You're nuts! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[YoGasKpose]

At least it wasn't slow and painful. I prefer just getting punched in the stomach immediately.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Now we have Phillips TRYING to make an out and he can't get one over.

 

What have I done to deserve a team like this?

[trwi7]

Let's tank and get Bryce Harper.

 

We would've had to tank last year to get Bryce Harper. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I am sorry but enough is enough even for the all time save leader we can't give away wins and now Hoffman is done. Macha make the announcement that he out of the closer role for now.

[TGJforPrez]

This is the major reason that I hate baseball, and I know all managers are the same. But it has to be the only sport where a stat dictates how you mange. You have a starting pitcher (Estrada) that has pitched great, but you go to your "closer" instead of letting him finish it off. It is absolutely asinine to me.

[tdeggie]

is anyone even warming up? still hasn't gotten a guy out yet

[sheethead]

Hopefully he can start locating soon.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

5 blown saves by mid-May...just for reference, Gagne had 7 in 2008.

 

Hate to say it Trevor, but you just lost your job.

[brains and braun]

Wow. Just Wow. I kinda wanna cry.

[bklynbrewcrew]

Call me nuts but I would like to see Estrada pitch the ninth.

 

You're nuts! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Im so angry right now.

 

 

[Boisebrewer]

That was fast. Way to snatch defeat from the arms of victory Hoff. Sigh. If we push this to double digit losses in a row I think I'll take a break from the Brewers til my ulcer gets better.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

You know the scene in Caddyshack when Bill Murray is playing with the C4 and saying "I have to laugh" crazily?

 

Yeah, I'm about there.

[afeter]

i feel bad for us.

[Oldcity]

Let's tank and get Bryce Harper.

Wow yeah, total brain cramp. Darn, now there's no upside to being this bad.
