2014-04-30 Brewers (Garza) at Cardinals (Miller), 12:45 PM CDT [Day Baseball! #WCWW; Brewers lose, 9-3]

[brwrsfan]

I'm almost positive they'll put him on the DL on Saturday and activate Schafer, which is a full week of playing a man down. It's just stupid but we always seem to do it. If for whatever reason Braun is healthy by Saturday, I really wonder what they would do. They could send Herrera back down, but doesn't he provide WAY more than Weeks? He can play 2b, along with SS, OF and C if absolutely necessary. He's better defensively, he's faster and he's a better hitter than Weeks. Only advantage that Weeks has is power, but he'd actually have to get on the field once in awhile first.

[Roderick]

Let's put a crooked number up today guys - K-Rod needs a day off!

 

They did already tell KRod he would have the day off. But who knows.....

HE'S RUNNING AROUND THE BASES TOO FAST. HOW DARE HE.

You think he did that to make a tounge in cheek statement?

[brwrsfan]

Way to run yourself right out of an inning. If you're going to attempt a double steal and you think you're out at second, stop and let the runner go home. At least make them get the out at home. I'm fine with running, but why end the inning on the bases there with a pretty hot hitter at the plate? Doesn't make much sense.

With Yadi on the bench I think it was a good agressive play. You just get caught sometimes. But I DO think the Cards stole the sign.

[brwrsfan]

Just don't like ending the inning like that, it's not like the pitcher was at the plate.

 

Now I'm curious, what makes you think they stole the sign? They didn't seem to have any intention of throwing it back home, had Gennett been safe I think we get a run out of it.

The Cards are adept at sign stealing. You have to change the indicator very often to be safe. RRR should know that.

Given all the nonsense surrounding TLR and the ribbon board controversy from a few years back, this is irony, on a base level...

[TURBO]

We get caught ALL the time though. RRR ball...

[DocLuna7]

Oh oh. Not so fast.

[brwrsfan]

Well that's about right. Run yourself out of an inning, then a walk, single and a hanging curve you're losing.

[chadomac]

ew

[igor67]

Looked away for a minute!!

[PrinceFielderx1]

This game isn't even close to being over guys.

[jjkoestler]

I'm "working from home" the rest of the day. I love day baseball.

[RobDeer 45]

This could be a very ugly game.

[TURBO]

This is exactly why all those outs on the base paths just freaking kill me... It just never ends.

 

UGHHH!

[brwrsfan]

I want this to be a blowout one way or another. Our bullpen needs a day off, and maybe Wang can get in. Smith, Thornburg and K-Rod are all in the top 10 in appearances this year already.

[bigredrobbo]

Apparently Garza needs the raw, visceral fury of playing the Cubs to get the best out of him. Yeah...

[stoutdude04]

Garza sure has been sluggish to start the season. I do remember Lohse being similar last year. Hopefully Garza rights the ship as Lohse did.

[coolcool]

Percent chance of stealing on Tony Cruz > percent chance of Overbay getting a hit.

[pretendastronaut]

Seeming it really will be #wcww.

[dlk9s]

This game isn't even close to being over guys.

 

Yeah, we know.

 

I don't know if you're serious or trolling with this whole act, but it has gotten old.

[FVBrewerFan]

70+ pitches in 3 innings....great

[brwrsfan]

Wang has to pitch in this game, regardless of the score. Garza isn't pitching well, has a huge pitch count and will be lucky to get through 5 innings. The passed ball sure didn't help.

 

We just simply can't trot the same guys out there game after game, Wang needs to cover a couple innings regardless of the score.
