2012-05-11 Cubs (Garza) at Brewers (Wolf), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 8-7, 13 innings]

[endaround]

Roenike is bad at bullpen management.

 

That wasn't quite Yost's Shouse vs Burrell bad, but yeeesh

[Bigblast]

Fricken Bullpen. Our starters have got to start pitching through 7 all the time.

[cnycerveceros]

Roenike is bad at bullpen management.

 

This team is bad a baseball.

 

Being a Brewer fan this year is basically a test of will. How long will you keep watching? I just got home and turned in on 10 minutes ago, now I'm ready to quit.

[owbc]

At this point I'm starting to doubt they will get back to .500 this year.

[Yeti73]

We are winning this game. Don't go home folks.

[JohnBriggs12]

It started when for some reason Veras, who has a 95 mph fastball, throws a 3-2 slider to Reed Johnson of all people. That pitch was called from the dugout too.

[Yeti73]

Nyger vs Marmol--Test of will to not swing.

[The stache]

This is going to be a long year. I wasn't expecting 96 wins, but I was expecting we'd be at least a .500 + competitive team.

[burnzy24]

Well hopefully the Cub's bullpen is just as bad as ours.

[JohnBriggs12]

We are winning this game. Don't go home folks.

 

Don't let the uniforms fool you, this isn't the same team that could do that.

[The stache]

Weeks to walk. Two run bomb from Brauny, and we're back in it.

[owbc]

It doesn't even matter if the Cubs bullpen is bad, this lineup is even worse. Besides Braun there's really nothing.

[dlk9s]

Horrendous call on "strike 3" to Rickie.

[cnycerveceros]

I rarely say this, but I'm tired of Weeks. He looks clueless, and it's embarrassing. Not really embarrassing, but you know, fan of adults playing games embarrassing.

[The stache]

Rickie is just lost right now.

[jason21nl]

I was going to bag on Weeks but that called strike 3 didn't look close

[owbc]

It doesn't even matter if the call to Weeks was questionable. He's completely lost and just begging to draw a walk. The umpire isn't going to give him that pitch.

[dlk9s]

[sarcasm]When will Braun learn to take his walks?[/sarcasm]

[jason21nl]

3 walks for Braun because the rest of the clowns can't do a damn thing.

[dlk9s]

It doesn't even matter if the call to Weeks was questionable. He's completely lost and just begging to draw a walk. The umpire isn't going to give him that pitch.

 

It wasn't questionable. It was quite obviously well inside.

[JohnBriggs12]

It might not have been a strike to Weeks, but pitchers have no problem getting the first 2 strikes on him, and then you have to protect the plate.

[The stache]

Well, the guy that wanted Braun to take more walks is going to be happy.

 

Unless Ramirez wakes up, I expect to see more people throwing around Ryan.

[owbc]

I think if I was Sveum I wouldn't throw Braun another strike the rest of the series.

 

Edit: At least Ramirez woke up. But no luck on getting it over the fence.

[cnycerveceros]

Can't we jut get a homerun. For crying out loud. I guess I can't complain.

[dlk9s]

I'll guarantee that if Rickie swung at "strike three," people here would've criticized him for swinging at ball four.

 

EDIT: And that's a guarantee I'll never have to back up!
