2011-04-23 Astros at Brewers - [Brewers lose, 9-6, 10 innings; pre- and post-game audio at tail end of thread]

[lcbj68c]

He's hitting .198...throw strikes please

[endaround]

Because Macha no longer manages the team so Axford can only get 3 outs now.

 

Left are Hawkins, Mitre, Stetter I believe

[Oldcity]

Falling behind every hitter is not a good way to pitch.

[ninja33]

who's left to pinch hit in the 10th? Is it just Weeks and Nieves?

[lcbj68c]

BA/Rock talking about ph for the pitcher and mentioned Narveson. Wouldnt you go Gallardo first?

[Oldcity]

And these are all terrible hitters he's facing.

[Oldcity]

DFA Green

[lcbj68c]

The bullpen mismanagement continues.....

[GamelToe]

Sean Green? *groans*

yup.

 

Roenicke has managed this entire game pretty horribly.

[endaround]

Well that was nice while it lasted

[Oldcity]

Hey look at that.... A closer is going to throw more than one inning.

[jason21nl]

there are guys on this team that have no business being on it. Green is one of them

[GamelToe]

Hey look at that.... A closer is going to throw more than one inning.

But I think this decision is idiotic. Lyon threw 30+ pitches and didn't look good last inning.

[ilovebeer]

dfa green

[Oldcity]

Yeah it probably is dumb. In fact, the save stat leads to two dumb decisions involving closers.

[chickinbrickin]

I love how earlier in the game BA and Rock are talking about having so many good pitchers in our bullpen is a good problem to have, and it will be really hard to decide who to send down when everyone is healthy. Honestly our bullpen isn't very good. Loe and Axford are the only two I have any confidence in. Braddock is my boy, but he hasn't been good this year at all.

 

Green?? Axford could have easily tossed another inning. Frustrating

[Yeti73]

Is he getting seriously squeezed or is game cast screwed up?

[GB12]

When you can't get out other team's closers...

[TerraceReserved]

Hey look at that.... A closer is going to throw more than one inning.

 

Closers? Throwing more than one inning!? Not possible. I don't beleive it.

[sdcheezhd]

Lyon's hit is probably a good thing since it means it's the last we'll probably ever see of Sean Green.

[ilovebeer]

you have to be kidding me.

[Oldcity]

Why bail out Green at this point? I kind of just want to see how many runs he can give up in one inning.

[dlk9s]

I guess it will just be that much more exciting when we win in the bottom of the 10th.

[wibadgers23]

Green is awful. Send him to Appleton.

[DocLuna7]

Why didn't we DL Mitre immediately after the injury if he's not able to pitch? We can't afford to have dead weight on the active roster and limit another option from the pen.
