2011-06-16 Brewers (Greinke) at Cubs (Garza) - [Brewers lose, 12-7]

If Casey can put together a little hot stretch right now, that'd would just be awesome timing. Here's to hoping Dale is right about him turning it around.

[berniebrewer4life]

odds that Bet swings at the first pitch?

 

EDIT: So the first time he doesn't swing at the first pitch it's actually IN THE ZONE?

[Gobias Industries]

This ump is terribly inconsistent. Wow.

 

Ed Rapuano....figures.

[dlk9s]

The JS-Online article was totally right. Yuni really does try to pull the ball every single time.

[trwi7]

Didn't Kottaras catch him when he was on his rehab assignments? Not saying it's ideal, but they've seen each other before.

 

Forgot about that but he only caught one rehab start that was almost two months ago that lasted less than three innings.

[Oxy]

Boy, it would be nice to have a good sinkerballer in the pen on a day like this...

[owbc]

Back to being behind again. This game is ridiculous.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Nice job Zack.

[trwi7]

Greinke with another terrible pitch.

[fondybrewfan]

Yep; this is a just a typical crazy Cubs/Brewers game. Dissappointed in Grienke; he was showing quite a bit of improvement in his previous couple of starts

[Funketown]

What the heck is going on with Greinke? He's striking out batters like mad, but when they can actually make contact the ball seems to get smashed. I think we all know he'll be much better than this down the stretch, but boy is this getting frustrating.

I was just going to post that. Greinke's peripherals look great (gets his strikeouts, doesn't walk guys) but the balls that get hit get hit hard and a lot out of the park. Eventually it seems like his bad-luck percentages will come back to the norm but when? Also, this umpire seems to be giving everything to Garza and nothing to Greinke, at least according to FoxTrax.

[Hammer]

Is that Rickie asking for a day off or something? Get your head out of your "rectum" moron!

[owbc]

Rickie's having a very, very bad game.

[Funketown]

Aggressive baserunning FTW! What the heck was he doing there?

[bucks2281]

Well, Rickie sure is having himself a terrible game.

[Raw Biz]

What the hell was Weeks doing. His baseball IQ is cognitively disabled.

[wOOgiE22]

is rickie turning into carlos gomez on the bases??

[pebadger]

Rickie needs a vision check. No idea what he saw there.

[Oxy]

Obviously a dumb decision by Rickie, but at least it was the right TIME to be aggressive in a normal style game, with 2 outs and Morgan on deck.

[cubfan1126]

I like this kind of game wind blowing out

both teams scoring in each of the first 3 innings
1 pitcher at 59 the other at 69 pitches

probably scoreless the rest of the way

[Gobias Industries]

I know that probably deserves a gold star in Roenicke's book, but you have to sub a guy out after that. Stupidity like that should not be tolerated.

[pebadger]

Ouchie. Right up from underneath.

[wOOgiE22]

that will take the breath out of you! that was a direct shot on the ump

[PrinceEatMeat]

Yeah, that was really stupid. The last person you wanna run on in their outfield is Fukudome, and it was right in front of him. Don't get that one at all. I can understand being aggressive in certain situations, but that isn't one of them. Not gonna get on him much though. He had a great game last night, and is having a great season.
