2013-05-11 Brewers (Burgos) at Reds (Latos), 3:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 13-7]

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

Well no catcher in the major leagues has ever called for a belt high FB right down the middle, those are mistakes.

 

its stupid either way. common sense tells you not to call something like that. that should be the last pitch on your mind considering who's at the plate.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

weeks is reaching bill hall levels of sh!t. the brewers seem to have a habit of having guys be productive one year and then completely fall apart.

[adambr2]

The Cardinals have guys like Shelby Miller and Lance Lynn. We have Mike Fiers and Hiram Burgos.

Nice job trying to pull a low, outside pitch there Rick. What a completely useless baseball player.

 

I had a feeling that Burgos wasn't going to fare too well in this park. Need him to suck it up and somehow go 5.

[TURBO]

It is getting to the point of where Rickie HAS to sit for a couple of games in a row. Someone needs to step in and inform our manager just how bad Weeks has been this year.

 

There is no chance, NONE, that Gennett can't do better than Weeks, offensively or defensively. It is time to do what is right for the team and stop worrying about egos or stubbornness.

 

I am also starting to enjoy the games that Lucroy is on the bench and Maldy is in the line-up...

 

What a season of ups and downs this has been.

[adambr2]

Can someone please again explain to me how Rick Kranitz still has a job here?

 

If we have a decent pitching staff we're a playoff team. There isn't a pitcher on our team right now that I'm not nervous to see out there.

[dlk9s]

Burgos is donezo.

[markedman5]

I'm ok with firing Kranitz but our crappy pitching staff has more to do with Melvin and the scouting dept then it does with him....IMO

[razzzorsharp]

So I assume we are throwing the white flag out there due to our bullpen fatigue?

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

offseason to do list

1. find a good pitching coach

2. find a reliable 8th inning guy

3. invest like crazy in scouts that specialize in finding pitchers.

[markedman5]

Can Figaro pitch every game? Would that be too much?

[pebadger]

Not minimizing how bad it's been, but the decisions on infield positioning have cost a few runs here, too.

 

The 21-run contest winner is going to go bust in this one.

[wOOgiE22]

I think I might have to turn off scoring alerts on my phone with the way the Reds are putting up runs today.

That's it for me...Might as well do some yardwork and forget today's game ever happened.

 

Being owned by the Cards and Reds is depressing.

 

PS The fact that Burgos is still in this game is absolutely disgusting.

[markedman5]

RRR should be embarassed by this performance.......is this good fundamental baseball Ron?

 

This team is going to be buried after this road trip.....after today will alredy be 7 1/2 games back and its only May 11......wow

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

so you leave in your rookie pitcher who is clearly struggling? well done RRR. you're a great manager. you talk so much garbage about protecting your players yet you leave in rookie Burgos to get slaughtered. you're a joke roenicke. the team needs to fire kranitz and roenicke. they are cancers to this team just like brandon jennings and monta ellis are to the bucks.

[dlk9s]

So you guys wanted to start burning through the bullpen with no outs in the 3rd inning? Good idea.

 

Sometimes you just have one of those games.

[markedman5]

So Braun looks at Gomez as the ball drops right next to him......I mean this is just a joke how bad our outfield is playing.......

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

its better than leaving in a struggling pitcher. now the game is over. if they take out burgos we are still in it. sometimes you've got to make your bullpen work. those guys aren't kids. they're grown @ss men capable of working overtime.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

thanks to roenicke burgos' era just ballooned to a 6. roenicke sucks. i'd rather have bobby valentine. they both suck but at least valentine has balls.

[adambr2]

After today we are going to again lead the NL in runs allowed.

 

This is why I'm calling for Kranitz' head, even though it might not be all on him. Worst bullpen in MLB last year. Now at this point in the year, worst pitching staff in the NL. And we even got him Lohse. Is this sort of pitching performance acceptable for a pitching coach?

[AZBrewCrew]

Wow. Lol. I just turned the Massacre in Cincinnati on. Going to watch the end of Anchorman instead.

[Gobias Industries]

Roenicke is absolutely right to leave Burgos in there. This ballgame is OVAH! /Hawk H.

 

No need to start doing damage for tomorrow's game. I think RR has been overall pretty competent in his handling of the pitching this year.

i am sad
