2011-07-16 Brewers (Greinke) at Rockies (Chacin) - [Brewers win, 8-7, on Weeks homer]

[BrewCrewForever]

I guess Runnin Ron will never learn that Loe should never, ever face a left handed batter.

[markedman5]

nice job RR

[adamb100]

Unreal, the Rockies have the lead.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Loe against a lefty...RRR you are an idiot. DM needs to fire this moron now.

[pitchleague]

wow. who didn't see this coming? oh yeah. he's standing in the dugout. Jiminy . . . .

[markedman5]

this ones on you

[owbc]

That wasn't Loe's fault. It was the manager putting Loe in a position to fail.

 

I'm usually slow to criticize RR but that was just idiotic. Even Ned Yost saw that coming.

[Gobias Industries]

That's why we brought in K-Rod, I guess. To sit on his ass during the highest leverage situations.

 

Roenicke is insane.

[DocLuna7]

I am so frustrated by RR and his Loe fetish coupled with not having a lefty who can actually throw strikes in the pen. Totally avoidable. I am steaming at this right now.

[MillerBombers]

Does Loe deserve to even be on the roster at this point?

 

Actually let me take this back. Given the right situation Loe is fine. RR is the reason for fail.

[pebadger]

I'm not worried. We have Kotsay.

[FoxyFoxes]

This is a joke. Loe is THE worst option the team has against lefties . I'd honestly rather see Estrada or Dillard against a lefty. Honestly, why not let Ax go 2 innings then if Saito isn't available. This team needs Stetter........Braddock to get his head outta his butt......... or to make a trade. They can go without a lefty in the pen but will carry 3 catchers and 3 bad shortstops. Frustrating team.

[pastoradub]

un-freaking-believable!

[panthernick]

Yay. More losses for Loe. Nice work Ned. I mean Ron.

[bucksman4]

how could that possibly happen?

 

 

Has happened many times before. And you're surprised?

[BrewCrewForever]

I know we have no LHP in the pen, but someone out there has to have better splits vs left handed batters then Loe. I would have used Axford there and had him in the 8th as well. Oh well Ron, your a moron.

[Thhhza]

Roenicke is clueless.

[natronek8780]

I can't believe how darn stubborn our manager is? I know Hawkins didn't have it tonight, so good job getting him out of there, but how about having Saito ready to face Helton?

 

You are a complete idiot, RRR and you're getting exactly what your poor managing deserves.

[pastoradub]

The offense finally comes through with some runs and the bullpen can't get through one inning without giving it right back! Loe has to be sent packing...right?

[panthernick]

At least Loe's feelings are intact.

[RightFieldCoder]

The good news is that the winning run is on Loe. Maybe after enough losses, RRR will figure out how to use him.

 

Also, I missed the "DPR" nickname for Roenicke. What does that stand for?

[BrewCrewForever]

Here here is my question, do Narron and Kranitz have any say in these pitching moves? Do they approve such idiotic decisions?

[Big Ern2440]

Wasn't the reason for bringing Dillard back up that he is effective against leftys?

[FoxyFoxes]

Honestly nobody bash Loe for this. Loe did his job he shouldnt need to face lefties. Loe is useful to a team with a competent manager. RR is failing me and I wanted to give him a chance.

[azcheesehead]

Roenicke is all kinds of stupid. I usually don't sit on here and bag on him, but he deserves this one tonight.
