2011-07-04 Diamondbacks at Brewers -- [Brewers give away 6-1 leads on consecutive days, lose 8-6]

[brewmann04]

Looks like RR really has no clue how to run a Bullpen at all. It actually been really sickening watching Him bringing in Loe and Loe continues to blow leads.

[RockCoCougars]

This team needs to acquire an established set-up guy in the worst way, preferably one who has closer experience.

They just added that exact player a couple days ago and RRR chose not to use him.

That's going to be the issue. You know they will put Saito on the 'kid glove regimen' for the rest of the season. You can't have a setup guy who can't pitch on back to back days, or even 2 of 3.

Dale Sveum needs to organize a managerial coup d'etat

and now we blow through Ax in a tie game

Roenicke isn't getting fired this season and probably not in 2012 either.

 

I still like our chances in this game with the top of the order coming up. Maybe Braun can pinch hit for Yuni if it gets that far?

[pebadger]

Great bunt. Great idea with Fielder out there, too.

[natronek8780]

And now our bats look done with no momentum at all. This is so painful to watch.

[justwinbb]

Yeah. I thought Montero was a switch hitter, but he is a lefty.

 

With a competent manager, guys like Loe and Braddock are really useful.

 

Loe has faced 86 lefties this season and 87 righties.

Which means that league has a clear book on Loe with him facing 1/2 LHers. Maybe someone should slip Roenicke a copy?

He wouldn't read it.

 

Kam is his guy. Through thick and thin. Same as McGehee and Kotsay.

He would have to learn to read before this could happen and Im starting to believe he isnt intelligent enough.

Arizona - their own worst enemy.

[topper09er]

Drew did not run, you need to drop that and get the DP. Come on!!!

Weeks should have covered 1B but went 1st for the ball

[jason21nl]

Its risky but Lucroy could have dropped the ball and got an easy double play

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Great move to elevate ball a little when he showed bunt early.

[RockCoCougars]

I have no problem with that. I'm actually encouraged to see him used in the 8th inning.

[natronek8780]

I think he was thinking the same thing after he caught it, because he kinda shook his head.

[trwi7]

Loe is a gamer, he battled out there, he pitched well

"Soup Loe pitched great."

[Funketown]

Serious question (not trying to be smart): How limited is Saito due to his injury history? Last season, he pitched 54 innings with a 2.83 ERA (2.43 FIP, 2.69 xFIP). If he's healthy enough to be on the roster, why isn't he pitching?

[natronek8780]

Unreal. I almost can't believe what's happening. I was at the game Saturday night... it's like coming from the absolute highest of highs and then 2 straight days of incredible lows. It's really surreal if you ask me.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

2 straight games blowing a 6-1 lead. Just unreal.

[GamelToe]

Whelp. Good game. Unreal. *smh*

Kam is our 8th inning guy. I have faith in Saito, but he just came back from injury and Kam is our 8th inning guy.

Something like that I am sure.

[Mr QL]

this game needs some Yakety Sax

[topper09er]

Betancourt closed his eyes and looked up when that throw bounced.

[TheCrew07]

Sometimes this team makes miscues that I get pissed at watching our HS team. A wild pitch allows a run to score and now an error moves runner all the way around to 3rd.

 

edit. And now a soft liner to score another run. I'm still irritated about a FB that hits homeplate and skips through Lucroy, it's not very often you see a FB in the dirt.

[wibadgers23]

The pitching has been a disaster lately and the offense is falling asleep after the first few innings.
