[pacopete4]

Put in Henderson.

[MNBrew]

Need a miracle.

[Vgmastr]

Gee Ron, and Henderson was doing so well too...

I wonder where this one's gonna go!?

[adambr2]

I like how Roenicke thought he could just go back to K-Rod in the 8th and Axford in the 9th again tonight, and it would magically go back to 2011.

[markedman5]

Pathetic.....Rodgers dserves better then this manager and this bullpen

[hawing]

Someone tweeted the other day that the Astros are the only team left in MLB without a walkoff win in 2012. That made me worry.

[TooLiveBrew]

Lead entering the 9th...

 

Aaaaaaand it's gone

[MNBrew]

Axford in the 8th, Henderson in the 9th, much more likely this crap doesn't happen.

I'm trying to figure out what's going on in Roenicke's head. Ax has been doing well setting up and Henderson is doing fine closing. So maybe that's the ticket going forward. This is the time to find out. So why are we going back to K-Rod and Ax? Even if they right the ship that's not a long-term solution. Does he think that if K-Rod pitches a clean inning someone will pick him up? Then Ueck says Henderson is coming in so I figure he'll do the right thing one time at least. But no. It's like he's a mole.

To be fair, out of any team in the league to try it against, the Astros looked pretty ripe for the pickin

No, Rogers does. The Packers QB isn't playing tonight.

They quoted him on the broadcast, something about 'These guys were good last year & did so much for this franchise... they deserve the opportunity'

[yfinn6]

Henderson looked good in the 9th.. did he pitch too many games in a row? If that's not the case, then there's no excuse for this. Stick with the hot hand. I know Ax will be here in the future... but come on. Can he have the 8th? Or other duties? MUST it be the 9th?

[packfan79]

Poor Rogers I'm starting to think the only way he gets a W is if he throws a complete game.

Basically what I've been saying since April of 2011.

[SenatorShriv]

I just feel bad for Rogers...

[AZBrewCrew]

Why isnt "Ronny" using "Hendy" tonight? Disgusting. Just plain disgusting. hawing - BA just mentioned the walk off win stat on the broadcast.

They were off yesterday. There's no excuse. He wanted to get cute and get Axford back in the closer's role and took someone who had been effective in that role out of it to accomplish this.

[pebadger]

I'd like to thank the Brewers for reminding me what I've been missing.

[pacopete4]

If I were Braun I'd go ballistic on RR. Just stupid.

[adambr2]

Totally had to come in with a strike there, it's not like they had a base open to set up the double play.

[MNBrew]

Bogusevic is a terrible player against seemingly everybody except Brewers. Unbelievable.

[jjgott]

Brutal. That's all there really is to say about it.

[markedman5]

First walkoff win of the year for the pathetic Astros.....
