2011-06-14 Brewers (Gallardo) at Cubs (Wells) - [Brewers lose, 5-4, ten innings]

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Well, that's only going to confirm the "Loe is the 8th inning man" movement.

[jjgott]

Do we have to listen to people complain about Yuni for half the IGT even on a day when he has two hits.

Well his hits have been pretty meaningless and when he's had a chance to get runs in he's been pretty terrible.

[ilovebeer]

You have to be kidding me!

[markedman5]

Its just unreal how bad our setup guys are......................

[bucksman4]

So....Marco Estrada isn't the 8th inning guy huh Ron?

[thablingster]

What is the deal with Chris Carpenters son?

Chris Carpenter feels the need to explain the ramifications of baseball occurrences to his son, such as when the Reds and Cardinals got into that scuffle last year.

 

Yeah, RRR, Marco Estrada is not a late inning reliever. He'd been hot, but now he's not. Please stop using him that way. Thanks.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Called that one. Way to keep using crappy relievers in the 8th Roenicke. Another great outing wasted. No win for Yo.

[Funketown]

Roenicke'd.

 

Marco freakin' Estrada. Not used tonight: Zach Braddock, Latroy Hawkins.

 

I'm officially in Fire Ron Roenicke camp.

[Gormans sideburns]

Estrada=turd

[trwi7]

Might be time to bring up Kintzler or DiFelice and send down Estrada.

[COBrewerfan]

This is why Loe pitches most days. And Braddock may walk 3 guys, you never know.

[Raw Biz]

Is there a reason we weren't using one of our 3 best pitchers (Axford, Braddock, Hawkins) for the heart of their lineup?

[Yeti73]

Imagine how good we'd be if games were 7 innings long...

[pebadger]

Said it before, will say it again. Estrada needs to be starting every 5 days in Nashville. McClendon was pitching great and he got sent down.

Axford can only pitch in the 9th, Loe has pitched a bunch of days in a row, and Hawkins ... might be posting on twitter?

[markedman5]

Kinzler is hurt or he would be on the team.

agree with pebadger

The problem isn't the second and third best relievers in the bullpen, it's the guy managing the team. Braddock and Hawkins are on this team, they just don't get to pitch in these situations. This is the time when you need a grinder, a pitcher who knows how to give you professional pitches. A real winner. Remember, it isn't about how many runs you give up, it's about how you give them up.

Loe's name was not mentioned.

[fondybrewfan]

Hawkins has got to be hurt; that the only thing I can come up with.

 

I think the Estrada magic from earlier this year is officially gone; bring McClendon back.

[markedman5]

our starters have given up 1 run in 14 innings in this series and neither got a win.

[trwi7]

Kinzler is hurt or he would be on the team.

Crap. Meant McClendon.

[Ayt]

We have a guy named Hawkins out there.

[Raw Biz]

Would've been nice to get that groundball from Pena last night.

[benji]

Shocking how our lefty can get out their left handed power hitter
