2011-07-03 Brewers (Greinke) at Twins (Blackburn) - [Brewers lose, 9-7]

[jason21nl]

atta boy Greinke-just let them right back in it.....someone quick post some stats on how amazing he has been

[theavrock]

what a joke. Seriously Greinke.

[markedman5]

Another unlucky homer against Greinke..................

[ELCABALLO45]

Really Greinke?

[pebadger]

His peripherals are great. It's good thing, because peripheral vision is the only way he can see most of those balls flying out of the infield at supersonic speeds.

[liveforoctober]

*sigh* .. hopefully they let Blackburn try another inning so we can get those runs back.

[jason21nl]

I don't care how many guys he strikes out if the guys he doesn't hit the ball out of the park

[justwinbb]

THats right Greinke, put the ball on a tee. Cant these guys pitch anymore. I would take 2 more Marcums right now than Greinke and Gallardo.

Maybe Greinke is just the reincarnation of 3TO (without the walks) as a pitcher...ton of Ks and a ton of HRs.

 

I'm frustrated, but still have faith.

[brewtank34]

I'm sorry but all of you sabermetrics and stats guys can say all you want, but Greinke is flat out not pitching well. It is officially time to consider him a dog so far this season. He's had three good outings, the rest of the season he has been a #5 starter. I'm hoping the best for him, but he flat out stinking up the joint so far this season.

[strawbossisevil]

In the long run, I still think Greinke will be fine. And starts like this may make a long term contract much more affordable for the Brewers. No one in the last decade has finished with a difference between ERA and FIP as large as Greinke´s currently is.

 

I expect an ERA in the mid to low 3s going forward, in spite of how he´s looked to this point of the season.

[ninja33]

kotsay HR (and triple) and a betancourt walk? what the heck is going on out there?

[markedman5]

You really have to work hard to walk Yuni........

 

did they really give him the green light on 3-0? Really?

[liveforoctober]

Kotsay picking up base hits ... Betancourt walking ... what the?

[davego]

This is turning out to be an odd game.

[Funketown]

Remember that thread we had for "if the Brewers were a beer"? I think Greinke is this one:

He's one complex case and always seems to leave a slightly sour taste in your mouth. His season has truly been enigmatic. One minute hitters are looking foolish and the next they're smoking him all over the park. Just goofy.

[theavrock]

There is the Kotsay I know. Didn't want to get too far ahead of himself I'm sure.

And he could have walked in a run if he was more patient. Good thing one of his skills is drawing BB's.

[markedman5]

Way to make him throw you strikes............

[Vgmastr]

Prince has "future DH" written all over him.

[markedman5]

kind of important for a first baseman to be able to catch the ball.......

[markedman5]

so 3-0 to Mauer and you shoot the corner?

[theavrock]

Walk Mauer to get to Cuddyer. That's a smart move right?

[justwinbb]

Good to see RR get out there and voice his displeasure with Greinke.

[jason21nl]

Is there anyone warming up in case Thome comes up?

[theavrock]

well that was predictable.
