2010-05-20 Brewers (Narveson) at Pirates (Maholm), 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers WIN, 4-3]

[owbc]

I was a big critic of Yost when he switched Braun and Fielder in the lineup in 2008. If I remember correctly, they both went into a slump, and then personally petitioned to Yost to switch back.

 

Of course, tonight would have been another great night to move Braun/Fielder up to the 2/3 spot in the lineup, but instead Macha has to pull this stunt. Figures.

 

For what it's worth, I have a gut feeling that the streak ends tonight.

[Invader3K]

Apparently Braun and Fielder approached Macha with the idea.

[trwi7]

I have to say, I'm partly hoping to see how far down the abyss this team can go.

You're not the only one.

[trwi7]

At least we have a decent hitting pitching staff...

Well they have to be good at something and it isn't pitching.

[trwi7]

Way to make Maholm work.

[milwaukeesportsfan]

I have a bunch of games left in my 9 pack, and right now, I don't really feel like going to another game this season.

[GormanHarvey]

Is stern fast?

[GormanHarvey]

Um what Braun?

[jjkoestler]

Ummm... Brauny.... Why are you running back?

[GormanHarvey]

You something new from this team every night...and not in a good way

[TheCrew07]

I have no idea how Braun can read baseballs off the bat so horribly after doing it his whole life.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

What did he do now?

[jwill535]

A rare over 25 first inning pitch count for a Brewer Starter

[GormanHarvey]

That answers my question about stern

[pebadger]

Unlucky gapper.

[TheCrew07]

What did he do now?

McCutchen hit a line drive straight at him off the end of the bat. He slowly backed away from it and the ball landed about 10 feet in front of him. Bill claimed he didn't see it.

[SeriesFinale]

I despise watching this team right now

 

Dear Lord, can't pitch, can't field, bats go all limpy

[trwi7]

Unlucky gapper.

Unlucky liner down the right field line.

 

Narveson has thrown three more balls in this inning than Maholm had pitches in his inning.

 

[GormanHarvey]

Why am I watching this??

[Mr QL]

are we the worst team in baseball? it certainly feels like it.

[sauveb]

It gets so frustrating to have the pitchers hit the catchers mitt with two strikes only to have it be called a ball because Zaun has set up too far out of the zone. He gives the worst placement of target in all of MLB.

[TheCrew07]

Well in Narvy's defense, all Braun has to do is a catch a lazy line drive and the Brewers are out of the inning. All 3 runs have come with 2 out.

[thablingster]

Well, silver lining, if Edmonds were in center field that would have been an inside the park home run by Pierce. LOL.

 

Considering Narveson's pitch count already we'd better see Suppan for multiple innings today to save arms, or it is just another reason Macha should be fired.

[trwi7]

Why am I watching this??

You are in the Brewers power.
