[hawing]

On paper (or screen) this matchup doesn't look too evenly matched. Yet, there's a reason why they play the games.

[3and2Fastball]

Holy Spring Training Lineup, Batman!

 

Go Brewers!

[Invader3K]

I don't get having Lucroy bat cleanup, but I guess Roenicke has limited options with Braun out and apparently Ramirez needing a rest day.

[Baldkin]

Weeks is still a better hitter than the 3 guys hitting ahead of him. I don't get it.

[chickinbrickin]

That is not on Rickie, Fransisco needs to catch that. You don't stretch until the throw is coming.

[Bigblast]

Still Rickie needs to throw it much better than that. Rickie has made bad throws like that and worse all year. Not to mention his below average fielding

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

rickie weeks is absolute garbage

[sauveb]

Francisco is really showing his inexperience at first this inning. His footwork needs a ton of work.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

there's no reason why the reds should have scored that inning. if that piece of garbage had any honor he would return his paycheck.

[chickinbrickin]

Not every throw is going to be perfect. That wasn't even that bad of a throw. It looked bad because Francisco was so far out of position.

 

I do agree that Rickie has been pretty bad defensively this year.

You mad bro

I hope you do the same thing at your job whenever you make a mistake.

there's a difference between a person with a real job and a person that gets paid millions to play a little kid's game. he deserves to get chewed out when he makes a mistake.

yeah i am. i'm tired of this bum playing like crap. i have every right to vent my frustration seeing as how i have spent a lot of money on merchandise, tickets, television packages, etc. when the product sucks the fans have the right to vent.

[adambr2]

If Peralta fields that ball cleanly, it's probably an out at home. Can we have just one inning where at least one of our fielders doesn't act like an enormous klutz?

[sauveb]

It sure feels like the Brewers should be behind by more than 2 runs right now.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

frustrating because besides the home run, the reds runs should have never happened. silly errors are killer.

Well Weeks has been very good with the bat and in the field since June 1st. Not really sure what you are tired of watching. That throw gets caught by every other 1b in the league.

 

No need to come on here with all the bum, piece of garbage talk when it isn't warranted. Vent if you want to vent, but to pile on Rickie who is playing the best baseball he has all year makes no sense.

Just because kids also play baseball doesn't make it a "kid's game". Old Hoss Radbourn would take exception to that.

[chickinbrickin]

Hopefully Gonzalez feels like throwing strikes today.

[adambr2]

I don't like a thing about Francisco so far. He seems overweight, lazy, and is another hacker at the plate. On that last AB of his, he might have been able to make it close if he sprinted all the way down the line, but as soon as he saw he was going to be thrown out at 1st, he slowed to a jog.

 

He reminds me of Johnny Estrada.

I agree, the trade made no sense from the get go.

[The stache]

The bottom three in our lineup:

 

Francisco .212 AVG

Weeks .213 AVG

Betancourt .215 AVG

 

then the pitcher

 

Is anybody surprised this offense isn't scoring runs today?

 

I have to agree with the consensus. I see no reason why Francisco was traded for. He provides no boost to this team whatsoever.

 

They won't bring Hunter Morris up even for a try, but they'll keep a "prospect" that has less plate discipline up with the club. As bad defensively as he might be, at least Hunter has played first base. Francisco is just another black hole.

 

I'm just praying that Ryan gets that thumb healthy, and avoids suspension.

 

Please, God. I am a long suffering Brewers fan. For thirty five years, I have followed this team faithfully. They haven't won a darned thing, but still I watch. While other new franchises are farted out of the commissioner's arse, and go on to win World Series titles, I stick to my team. Could you maybe give us a break with Ryan Braun...please? It's bad enough we have to have his possible drug use in our face at every turn, along with the heckles of "the Brewers franchise sucks". Could you maybe just once throw us a bone?

2 weeks of good baseball doesn't excuse months of poor baseball. that's the truth. weeks has sucked most of this year and most of last year. what i see is constant strikeouts, groundouts, and useless pop ups. what i see is soft throws, overthrows, lack of speed, lack of range. if this is his best baseball then he has no business being on a big league team.
