2012-06-23 Brewers (Wolf) at White Sox (Axelrod), 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 8-6]

[chickinbrickin]

Nobody hangs a 50MPH curveball quite like Wolf

 

Fixed, does anything good ever happen when he throws that pitch other than to start a hitter off with it?

[umphrey]

Was Gomez's hit close or did Ueck totally misjudge that one?

Maybe a foot or 2 short

[chickinbrickin]

Aoki making things happen again today. I think he is going to be a very good player once he gets a little less streaky.

[AZBrewCrew]

Maldonado is so clutch.

[jjgott]

Nice job Maldy! Man that dude can sure drive em in. Does this mean that Wolf is done for the day?

[pacopete4]

He stinks as a hitter. He should never be near the top of the order.

 

Gomez might have a bad track record but he's been pretty dang good for the crew. He may never live up to your or scouts expectations but he's a good dad and a ball player that gives you all he has. Respect.

Does the fact that Wolf can apparently throw to Maldonado mean that Kottaras' days are numbered?

That'll happen when you're a rookie at 31 and never seen the pitching he does day in day out.

[pacopete4]

If I hear personal catcher again I'll throw up. Maldonado was twice the catcher at age 15. Idiots.

[markedman5]

At least our pen is consistent.................

[pebadger]

The next time anybody says luck has nothing to do with outcomes, just look at the results of the two-out doubles in each half of this inning.

[pacopete4]

Loe I'm sorry but ok, giving up the one on a single ground ball up the middle fine but to not bare down and get the next out and give up a screaming double to cf to tie it?

I would keep Kottaras on the bench as a back up bat at least.

[razzzorsharp]

Weeks seems to be looking at the best pitches to hit every at bat.

You're right.. all it took was for Loe to bare down a little harder to get the out.

[pretendastronaut]

Coming to this game late. Did Loe blow a lead for Wolf again?

[jjgott]

Is the sky blue?

[yfinn6]

You could insert any member of our bullpen in 2012 and it would not be a shocker.

If he can't than he shouldnt be in the majors.

[pacopete4]

You just can't throw it over the heart of the plate and survive.

[TURBO]

Is Veras responsible for this mess? Stepped away for 5 minutes and now this?

 

not surprising...

[markedman5]

It must be scary for RR to look down into that bullpen in a close game and think to himself "so is there anybody down there who won't suck today"?

[AZBrewCrew]

What worries me is as bad as this pen is, its almost inevitable that we see Vargas up at some point.

[pebadger]

It's games like this that led Paul Simon to pen the immortal lyrics 'Where have you gone Takashi Saito? Brewer Nation turns its lonely eyes to you."

[AZBrewCrew]

I love our bullpen. It just amazes me how consistently inconsistent they can be.
