2010-06-09 Cubs (Zambrano) at Brewers (Wolf), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 9-4]

I thought the Wolf contract was bad to begin with, but I didn't expect him to be this awful in the first year.

[ilovebeer]

We needs to take more pitchers, Crazy man only threw 14 pitches in the first inning.

I thought it was okay, so far I was wrong. At least it is only 3 years and not 4 like Suppan's was. And it is less money. Thank God.

When is the last time Braun hit a HR? Feels like forever.

Two weeks ago.

I think this is a fluke, but just read on cbs today: Brewers' Braun struggling at home: From The Sports Xchange notes: LF Ryan J. Braun continues to fare much better on the road that at home. He is batting .228 with two homers and six RBI in 23 home games, compared with .362 with six homers and 28 RBI in 33 road games.

......

Rock just announced that Zaun is having surgery and will be out for the year, which at his age may be it?......

Two things. First, sometime late next year, probably around August, the news that the Brewers released Randy Wolf will be greeted with the same celebratory atmosphere that the release of Suppan brought. Secondly, there HAS to be something wrong with Braun. He looks horrible and he hasn't gotten a big hit that I can remember for a long time despite having plenty of chances to do so.

[Funketown]

Man, I didn't like the Wolf signing, but I thought he'd be a pretty decent pitcher. He really needs to turn it around, and do it quickly. I thought it was a bad contract, but this is beginning to look like an albatross.

[BrewCrewForever]

Alright, let's see Wolf can pitch a scoreless inning.

[ilovebeer]

The rate this is going that bum of a pitcher will have complete game, Dear Brewer batters, please be more selective. thanks

[BrewCrewForever]

Hey! A scoreless inning! Way to go Randy http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Well what do you know, a clean inning congrats Mr. Wolf

[trwi7]

I like how Macha wants Fielder batting 3rd to get his bat going while seemingly not realizing that Braun and Fielder's OPS are 26 points apart.

[trwi7]

Braun is infuriating to watch right now. Just pathetic.

[afeter]

Wow, Randy Wolfe's brother is the first base umpire. Hopefully we get some favorable check swing calls tonight

there you are, braun clearly K'd

What a shock Braun strikes out with men on base, he needs to sit.

Yeah but a third over a third of the way into the season Prince is on pace to hit 24 homeruns and less than 60 RBI's. I like the shake up.

Actually he's the third base umpire. And I thought he wasn't allowed to umpire games for Wolf at all?

[crewcrazy]

Only restriction is that he can't be the home plate ump for Wolf's starts.

They said he's not allowed to be behind home plate but otherwise it is allowed.

[ilovebeer]

Will this be the inning that crazy man will imploded?

[ilovebeer]

CrewCrazy, who is that picture off, i don't recognise him?

[pete]

The article on the MLB site about Wolf seemed like a repeat again of how he needs to turn it around. They can recycle that once again next time. I thought Wolf would be a middle of the rotation guy. Most of the criticism outside of the fanbase here was that he was a lock to get injured which I don't think is true. Now, I wouldn't mind not seeing him for a few starts. What the hey-ell is the problem.

[ilovebeer]

AH, Casey just missed.

[Polish Falcons]

I think we're too quick to criticize Wolf here. No it wasn't a great start but a guy should be allowed to give up 3 runs without people jumping all over him. He could very well salvage a decent game here.

[pete]

Nice play Byrd

[trwi7]

Wolf is a better hitter than pitcher.
