2011-06-15 Brewers (Narveson) at Cubs (Zambrano) - [Brewers win, 9-5]

And it was an error rock....it went right under his glove........Casey needs to go down...he is really hurting the team

[pebadger]

After beating Florida (a team in the midst of a free-fall), in a number of close games where they got some breaks and unexpected contributions, I think many forgot that Milwaukee is still terrible on the road.

 

Yes, I'm sure it's just a statistical anomaly. You are what your record says you are at some point. Maybe we should wait until the end of the year to call them terrible on the road. We can put it on their tombstone.

How bad were McGehee's errors? I'm watching the Stanley Cup.

Bad.......first one was worse

[Fear The Chorizo]

Prince couldn't catch a shorthop throw, and then he essentially couldn't lean down to field a routine grounder that could have led to a double play

[chuckcrim]

Not sure if I'm more annoyed with Casey, Yuni or Schroeder in the booth. There's no way Taylor Green could be worse than Mcgehee.

[markedman5]

anytime the Brewers want to start playing like a major league team again is ok with me........

Nice work by Narvy to get 5 outs that inning.

[cnycerveceros]

It really can't be much longer before something happens with Casey. At this point just a day off would be welcome from my perspective. Just give him a day, at least, away from the game. I respect that (I assume) he hasn't asked for one, but it's got to be getting to him.

 

Still, it's just a 1 run game. It feels like more than that.

The first one was a short hop stubby couldn't pick. He should have. A better 1B would have. The second was a Yuni impression. Couldn't bend over to field it.

Next week Casey might be hearing boo's and a chant of we want Green.

[Raw Biz]

Just stupid baserunning again.

[chickinbrickin]

What sucks is RRR won't even move Casey out of the 5 hole let alone suggest to Melvin that he needs to be replaced.

[markedman5]

But it was an easy throw that never should have been in the dirt.

 

 

Casey has had multiple days off already during this bad stretch...it hasn't helped.

[natronek8780]

How come the Cubs can make plays despite poor field conditions? Dang it Rickie.

[Hammer]

What the hell is Weeks thinking there? Garbage.

[jjkoestler]

Green, Gamel, or an external option need to be seriously considered if Casey can't get it together by the AS break.

I really wonder if Casey has outlived his usefulness. We discovered a diamond in the rough and got two nice years from him. At some point, Melvin has to cut his losses.

[ilovebeer]

I am supposed to go to the game tomorrow, not sure i want to now

[Fear The Chorizo]

Just stupid baserunning again.

I don't have a problem with that one as much - with 1 out that's the time to get aggresive on a 50/50 to get to third. Took two good throws and a very good catch&tag to get him.

 

[pebadger]

Did the Brewers wear their sweep suits to Chicago?

[cnycerveceros]

Casey has had multiple days off already during this bad stretch...it hasn't helped.

Has he? It seems like he's always in there, but maybe that's just my memory being clouded by all the weak ground outs.

You guys do realize he will use the 20+ HR and 100+ RBI production from McGehee in 2010 as a justification for keeping him all year and who knows...maybe even re-signing him in the off-season again. Melvin loves to use dumb statistics from the past and ignore the peripherals sometimes to make certain moves. Super frustrating.

[chuckcrim]

Anyone else annoyed with how BA and Rock never call out the Brewers for dumb mistakes? They're always "tipping their hat" to the other team. Shut up already.

[ilovebeer]

That was a nice clean inning for Chris.
