2013-04-06 Diamondbacks (Corbin) at Brewers (Fiers), 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 9-2]

[trwi7]

Usually I'd be excited with two on and the cleanup hitter coming up.

If Gonzalez and Ramirez had a race Im not sure it would ever end

Come on Luc. I picked you as my most disappointing Brewer, don't prove me right.

[adambr2]

I'm not sure if it's sadder that Yuniesky Betancourt is our first baseman, or Alex Gonzalez is our cleanup hitter.

[Funketown]

The way things are going, we might need to start an emergency haiku gameday thread to reverse this bad mojo.

[trwi7]

Yuni isn't good

Pitching isn't good either

Long season ahead

[adambr2]

Well, if we suck this year, take heart in June knowing that we also don't have a 1st round pick to help improve our future.

[chickinbrickin]

Only game six guys

Turn those frowns upside down

Our best bats are out

[chadomac]

i'd save Figaro

for a winnable game

makes no sense today

[The stache]

Just once I'd like to see this team start out hot. Is that too much to ask??

[adambr2]

When do you plan on contributing something positive, Lucroy?

[topper09er]

Yuni stretched too early, he is so worthless.

[AZBrewCrew]

Yuni has been renamed from YunE6 to YunE3

[adambr2]

Thing is, they'll actually be very fortunate not to be 0-5 after tonight. Other than winning on opening day, they haven't even really been close.

[AZBrewCrew]

I wasn't quick enough to get a pic but they already had a zero on the board for the bottom of the 7th on the big scoreboard. They just took it off though..

[ELCABALLO45]

4 out of the 5 games the other team has had at least 10 hits. Is that bad?

[trwi7]

Yuni stretched too early, he is so worthless.

 

Not only that but his foot was on the middle of the base instead of the corner and it still looked like it went under his glove instead of wide of his glove, so he had an opportunity to catch it and didn't.

[joepepsi]

I've always been a big Doug Melvin fan, but really, deciding Yuni and AGon are better as 1B, then asking Davis to take a couple innings in Spring Training to learn 1B? Neither of the old fat guys had ever played 1B, so why did they assume they could? The message is conservative: we'll go with bad players rather than take a risk with youth. It's a loser mentality and one that will get Melvin fired.

[The stache]

I am trying to remain positive.

Better idea, actually get a freaking 1B on the roster. Could giving Morris a shot at playing first have ended up any worse than what we have seen through these first 5 games?

[chadomac]

We must be the team that's given up the most hits thus far, right? I bet it's not even close.

[adambr2]

Why was Rick Kranitz brought back this year? Does he have any redeeming value whatsoever?

 

His pitching staff was 2nd worst in MLB in 2008 and worst in MLB in 2009 in Baltimore. I know it's a little early to be scapegoating guys, but I'm not sure he belonged back in the first place.

They tried him there in the instructional league, he apparently couldn't handle it.

[markedman5]

We waited all winter for this?

 

Is the pitching staff trying to set a record for most HRs given up in the first 6 games of a season at home?

[topper09er]

We must be the team that's given up the most hits thus far, right? I bet it's not even close.

 

Right now
