2010-05-22 Brewers (Gallardo) at Twins (Slowey), 3:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 8-7, 12 innings]

[wOOgiE22]

Nice to know that the game is basically over after the 1st inning again. This is just getting stupid already.

[Rhett16]

We are the worst team in baseball. Easily.

[nate82]

How was that first pitch there a ball but the second one was a strike?

 

I just don't get umpires anymore. I think it is time to go to a computerized strike zone.

[Polish Falcons]

Too bad Prince can't make the fairly routine play at 1rst base without tripping over himself. Otherwise we could've been out of this inning with little or even no damage.

[benji]

Sad part this wasan improvement from yesterday

[nate82]

We are the worst team in baseball. Easily.

No the Royals, Indians, Astros, Orioles, and the Mariners are bad. The Indians and Astros are worse than the Brewers.

[wOOgiE22]

There you go Prince! Keep swinging at junk out of the strike zone!

[nate82]

There you go Prince! Keep swinging at junk out of the strike zone!

Actually that was in the strike zone. The first pitch to Prince was a strike that was called a ball the second that was a ball was called a strike so that fourth pitch was probably going to be called a strike also since it was a strike last inning also.

It will be interesting to see how we fare against the Astros next.

[wOOgiE22]

Gameday showed that pitch was high and outside out of the zone.

Maybe something like this program: http://3psports.com/3pn/ could help our pitchers...oh, wait...

[nate82]

Gameday showed that pitch was high and outside out of the zone.

Yeah but the umpire has a different strike zone.

[nate82]

According to ESPN's Gamecast that first pitch to Escobar was down the middle of the plate but was called a ball. Ummmmm?

It was up the middle, just high.

[nate82]

It was up the middle, just high.

I wish MLB Gameday worked at work here. The ESPN one isn't all that accurate then.

[trwi7]

A 6 pitch inning for Yo! Is that possible?

[trwi7]

"Right down the line. Just foul."

 

-Coshun

 

Yeah, just foul by about 15 feet.

[pete]

Did Coshun just call Mark A, Antanasio rather than Attanasio?

[GormanHarvey]

I actually had taken solace in the idea that if we got embarrassed all weekend some changes would come Monday. Now after Attanasio's comments I have basically lost all hope. I'm so negative right now I can't stand it. If we score more than 2 runs off Slowey I will be utterly shocked

[thablingster]

Well, Slowey is already at 50 pitches through 3. Get him out of the game by the 6th and go to work on the bullpen. Seems as though Yo is settling down a bit.

[pete]

Well, he was stupid enough to keep Dave Bush on the roster. Oh wait, that might be Melvin.

Yeah because only having 3 bad starts this whole year for Bush is a stupid reason for not having Bush on the roster. Other than Gallardo Bush has been the second best starter on the Brewers pitching staff. To put this in perspective Bush has only given up 3 or more runs twice this year. TWICE! So how is that again stupid to have Bush on the roster?

 

Well, the point was that the loss yesterday was because Bush was grimly awful. The one place I never hear perspective is the cult that adores Dave Bush. His WHIP is North of 1.7. He's started nine games so your "perspective" is a little lacking when you tout how many times he gives up 3 runs in 6 innings. Fifty-six hits and 24 walks with 24 strikes out is a recipe for failure. I remember when people here described him as a "number 2" pitcher.

[Polish Falcons]

What were Attanasio's comments?

[owbc]

I'm now 99% sure that he's going to stick with the current management. It's probably the right move, as much part of me wants to shake things up.

[pretendastronaut]

Not that I don't believe Mark, but even if Macha's job hinged on this weekend, Mark isn't going to say anything different in that interview about it.

 

At least now we know Mark hates watching the games as much as we do right now. There's that. :|

[thablingster]

Attanasio said he would be meeting with Melvin and Ash to see what kind of improvements they can make with the team, but none of those will be managerial. He basically discussed understanding the frustration of fans because he himself has been frustrated, but we basically need to stay the course.
