2011-06-13 Brewers (Wolf) at Cubs (Dempster) - [Brewers lose, 1-0]

[Fear The Chorizo]

Absolutely, and if Wolf ever starts wondering why he can't get decent run support, he can start by looking at his personal catcher

[brwrsfan]

Why Counsell and not Morgan there?

 

And why Loe again for the third day in a row? Is Hawkins even on the roster any more?

[sargennm]

By the way, on an unrelated note, next time the Brewers strand 2-3 runners with no outs, keep in mind that the Yankees had bases loaded and no outs tonight and didn't score. And that was with A-Rod, Cano, and Swisher taking their hacks.

I blame RR.

[COOOOP]

Kranitz: Gee, RRR, what do you want to do tonight?

RRR: The same thing we do every night, Kranny - pitch Loe in the eighth and try to take over the world!

[bucksman4]

Trying to set a single-season record for most appearances by a reliever I think. Loe enters...again.

[brwrsfan]

This game is going to royally irritate me and stick with me if we lose. This was just bad baseball and bad decision making by RR in my opinion. Starting with the lineup, the squeeze and the PH decisions.

 

I hope that despite all that, we find some way to win.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Shortstops in this game must have a running bet to see who can see the fewest pitches this series

[Oldcity]

Loe up again? Are you kidding me? Where's Hawkins?

[bucksman4]

Loe up again? Are you kidding me? Where's Hawkins?

Hawkins hasn't exactly had what you might call the best of luck at Wrigley Field in the past...

[brwrsfan]

Sure seemed like another missed strike three call there. Which of course then results with a base hit. Most SS in the league catch that but not ours.

 

Que up the omnimous music yet again...

[Fear The Chorizo]

Loe up again? Are you kidding me? Where's Hawkins?

Hawkins hasn't exactly had what you might call the best of luck at Wrigley Field in the past...

He also isn't on pace for like 125 appearances like Loe seems to be.

 

 

[MillerParkSouth]

oh good! Loe vs. a lefty!

[dlk9s]

According to Gameday, every pitch to Barney could have been called a strike (he did foul off one outside the zone).

[Oldcity]

Yeah second time a missed strike 3 call led to a Cubs hit.

[Menotti80]

Bad feeling about this AB

 

Prove me wrong Loe.!

[Oldcity]

Where's Braddock for Pena? I can't watch this.

[brwrsfan]

According to Gameday, every pitch to Barney could have been called a strike (he did foul off one outside the zone).

The 1-2 pitch was almost certainly a strike. Not called for the second time time tonight, and for the second time, they get a base hit out of it. Hope we get lucky and get out of it again.

[markedman5]

Terrible defense by Braun.........wow

[MillerParkSouth]

unbelievable, the Cubs have al lefty bats on the bench and you don't have Braddock up and it's going to cost us the game! Roenicke'd.

[pastoradub]

this umpires motions behind the plate make him look like he has no clue what he is seeing! and of course it leads to a hit and another hit.

[Oldcity]

Oh my God Bill shut up about their baserunning and talk about the horrible managing/defense by Braun.

[razzzorsharp]

Braun should have caught that.

[Hate those Rodents]

Did anyone really think we'd be in first place for more than a day?

[COBrewerfan]

Well that sums up this game. That should have been caught. It barely hit the wall on a fly.

[trwi7]

Someone needs to tell Roenicke that there are more pitchers in the bullpen than Loe and Axford.
