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

[logan82]

Ok, no matter how this turns out. Good call by DPR.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Wow, our new lefty is great!

Are you sure? Ugh...

[WisconsinSportsRule]

SOOOOO glad we demoted Braddock for this guy. /BLUE

[Ayt]

Right down the middle.

[Invader3K]

Argh...Fukudome gives them a huge lead.

[Raw Biz]

So much for our LOOGY...I still said we should've kept Braddock, no matter how late he got to the game. He could get there in the 7th and pitch right away for all I care.

[chuckcrim]

I'd take a half asleep Braddock over Herrera. He looks like Tyrion Lannister out there he's so dang little.

[logan82]

He brought in his LOOGY to face a lefty. Leaving him in against the righty is dumb though.

[trwi7]

Yes, let's throw our junk 84 mph fastball right down the middle to him.

I'm with you on that. All that should matter is production, and he has been great this year. J.C. Romero just got DFA'd by the Phillies, I wouldn't mind picking him up. Lefties are hitting only .208 off him this year, which isn't bad. He was just struggling a little vs. righties.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

If it wasn't for the Brewers, Fukodome & Dempster would be doing something else for a living.

[Tennik]

So much for going into Boston with some momentum.

Yep, when we're going "all in" this year, we should have our best players on the team.

[Warning Track Power]

Wow...I knew we were due for a stinker of a series based on our amazing run over the last month but to lose 3 of 4, assuming this 9-5 lead holds, against this Cubs team is depressing.

Agree with that. The worst part is we could make 3-4 moves to improve the MLB club without even trading anybody and it would make a pretty big difference.

[Tennik]

Overall this was a rough series....terrible offensive display on Monday, bullpen implosions Tuesday, and our starter has a rough outing today.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I think we'd all take Braddock back now for sure. He has been outstanding against lefties. Only hitting .105 against him this year.

[chadomac]

Yeah, I really expected at least 2 wins in this series before we had to face the AL East.

[chuckcrim]

If it wasn't for the Brewers, Fukodome & Dempster would be doing something else for a living.

Herrera and Yuni B should do something else for a living.

Braddock, Green, Boggs in; Herrera/Estrada, 1 of Yuni/Wilson/Counsell, Kotsay out.

I'd also bring McClendon back, and Yuni is for sure who I would drop out of those 3.

Yup, but I would bring up Gamel instead for interleague then send him back down for Boggs after interleague.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

What the heck is Weeks doing out there?

[Raw Biz]

Anyone wanna say Weeks doesn't have terrible baseball IQ again?
