Guys, that ship has sailed. Is it really the best use of our time to rehash the Furcal issue?

You are right but this is a pretty uneventful game http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

insert comments about blowing it by not trading for furcal and greinke grooving too many pitches.

 

You say that as though we wouldn't be better off with Furcal than our current SS. Care to expound? Because you can put me in the category of thinking we needed to get him.

The difference between Furcal and Yuni hasn't been that great. Due to furcal's random brewer-killingness, I guess I'd rather have him, so he could stop doing the damage. But if I had to guess his numbers on the Cardinals against teams that arent the Brewers might be worse than Yuni's. Either way, the difference isn't that great. Yea, he might have been a small upgrade, but I'm sick of hearing about it (especially since he always makes it come up against the brewers). That was the gist of my post.

this is a very frustrating game for many reasons

[Mr QL]

these guys catch frickin everything

 

i cant stand these guys

[thablingster]

The Cardinals defense tonight reminds me of the fielders in MLB 11 The Show. No matter where you hit it, the defenders are everywhere making flashy grab after flashy grab.

[Oldcity]

If the Brewers didn't have such a massive lead, I'd be very angry about this Rafael Furcal stuff.

[markedman5]

Not our night...glad we had a big lead because these guys sure handled us these last 2 series.

i instantly regretted bringing it up. don't really know why i instigated a discussion I was sick of having. maybe someone would have anyway, but my bad.

[hawing]

Not unlike Dr. Nick Riviera and the coroner....I'm so sick of these guys.

about that Corey Hart throw, Lucroy was standing so far out of the play they might as well have not even tried throwing home

[Oldcity]

It doesn't feel like it, but it's only a two-run game. Far from over.

[razzzorsharp]

So are we going to be hearing about how great the pitching is that the Brewers are facing for the next week?

[brewmann04]

hopefully the pirates can do us us favor when they play the cards and do what we have failed to do in these 6 games.

[davego]

Is it just me, but I can never get in the chatroom...not that you guys arn't cool...

Betancourt tonight: 1st AB -1 pitch: out, 2nd AB - 3 pitches: strikeout, 3rd AB - 1 pitch: out. Total: 5 pitches and 3 outs. Not only are his physical tools bad (slow, inaccurate arm, etc.) which make him a bad MLB player, but he doesn't make the team better really in any way.

[brewmann04]

Well two things the Cards have sure taken care of business vs our crew. Not hopefully they can put those cowboys stuff away until they have this thing wrapped up.

[jjfanec]

Greinke could pitch a complete game and get the loss tonight. He has given up some hits but 8 base runners in 7 innings isnt bad

[a3uge]

Every time we play the Cardinals it seems like the same thing. Lots of good hit balls that go for outs, and a lot of close plays going the Cardinals way. It's been opposite how Brewers have been winning games this year. Kind of a dose of our own medicine.

(That strikeout looks like the regular Furcal this year. That was ugly.)

[brewmann04]

When Braun or Prince don't hit the rest of this team is junk.

[ilovebeer]

colorado ties it at 2

[Oldcity]

This strike zone is pathetic.

[jjfanec]

When Braun or Prince don't hit the rest of this team is junk.

Come on. Hart has been good. Morgan has been good. Lucroy is solid. Green has been good since being called up. Most offenses struggle when their two best hitters are not producing. Although tonight Prince has been on twice and had another hard hit and Braun has been on once

[umphrey]

this team needs more Rickie Weeks right now

A Sheets like performance.
