If I complain that Weeks is leading off and Yuni is starting again, does that mean another win?

[Funketown]

Yuni is having one of the worst seasons in recent memory. That is something worth watching as far as I'm concerned!

I imagine that's the decision of the Brewers Radio Network, and isn't that corporately WTMJ/Journal Sentinel? Because Braunwashing the radio intro would certainly be consistent with the JS' editorial stance.

[markedman5]

Gallardo continues to show why scouts now view him as a 4/5 starter……getting hammered by the Padres…..

[brewmann04]

Gallardo has just been downright bad and looks like a beaten player. I would not be suprised to see them skipping a turn down the road. Hopefully he bounce back in some way in 2014.

[JackNicholson1974]

This team is dreadful.

[Brewers1982]

I don't think we have to worry about the Brewers trading Gallardo anymore. Very doubtful anyone would want him. He just looks like a completely lost pitcher.

[Brewers1982]

Well is this hitting rock bottom now? Losing 3 of 4 to the last place Padres at home. This is really hard to stomach.

Yunibomb

Yup, and after that super enthusiastic junior announcer said Yuni's name correctly and proudly.

[TURBO]

Yuni is looking at more playing time every time he pleases RRR...

 

I hate this season.

[chadomac]

What happened to Yovanni Gallardo? I don't like it. We can't afford to lose a quality pitcher.

[torts]

man i love listening to uecker at work.

[chadomac]

man i love listening to uecker at work.

 

Same. He's better when we're losing badly.

[AZBrewCrew]

why is Yuni still getting playing time? Hes a horrible defender

[Brewers1982]

Scouts come to see Gallardo pitch - he's terrible!

 

Scouts also there to see Michael Gonzalez and he is just as bad.

 

I hate to even ask but what more could go wrong for this team?

[chadomac]

I don't think one bad outing is going to hurt Gonzalez's trade value... but yeah it's pretty annoying how everything has gone sour for us Brewer fans this year.

[sdcheezhd]

Wow just when you thought nobody could have a worse day then Francisco did yesterday. The move to leadoff really paying off.

[brewmann04]

Gonzo still has value and will be moved how about Aoki.I still have hope for a trade for the AX man.

[TURBO]

Wow just when you thought nobody could have a worse day then Francisco did yesterday. The move to leadoff really paying off.

 

Weeks hitting leadoff is asinine.

 

What is the thought process behind this little idea the past couple of days?

[rondoman]

He has a good OBP so if he can get on aoki, segura, gomez or lucroy can knock him in?

[TURBO]

Has RRR talked to anyone as to why Weeks is hitting lead-off again tonight? (Friday) 3 days in a row for our worst hitter next to Yuni???
