2014-07-29 Brewers (Garza) at Rays (Cobb), 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-1]

[TauPentaRei]

Manufacturing... the rust belt way.

 

Or maybe like Foxconn manufacturing, yeah.

[DuWayne Steurer]

This is bad. When you're excited about a Mark Reynolds sac bunt and a sac fly.......this is bad.

[TauPentaRei]

on sac bunts... going to say something like "turning crooked numbers into single tallies since 1846"...

 

but at this point, can you blame Ron?

It looked like Reynolds was bunting for a hit there.. which leads me to believe it wasn't called from the dugout. I could be wrong, tho.

Hard to bunt for a hit on that astroturf that looks like it was bought at Menards.

[yfinn6]

I agree, but still looked like he was trying to surprise Longoria who was deep, playing for the double play. He just bunted it too hard.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Oh for sure, he bunted it too hard.....but on grass, that's a hit.

Gomez and Schafer 5 at bats 5 strikeouts. That's 5 of the 7 K's that Cobb has. Nice bit of strategy Ron.

[BraunyBoy08]

Lucroy swinging on a ball in the dirt, god we're making Cobb look like Cy Young

In other words, just giving Gomez the day off would have been just as useful.

[DuWayne Steurer]

If Ben Zobrist was a Brewer, that wouldn't have happened

[yfinn6]

Maybe I'm off base here, but I really liked seeing Gomez bat anywhere but leadoff. I thought he would get more RBI opportunities toward the middle of the order.

[Eye Black]

Lucroy with the passive-aggressive move of the night there, moving his head over to try and figure out where Garza's 3-0 curveball missed.

[yfinn6]

Crisis averted.

[Eye Black]

Crisis averted.

Barely

The Rays announcers are just relentlessly ripping the Brewers offensive approach the last 2 nights. Saying they have talent but their offensive approach will get eaten alive against really good pitching.

[yfinn6]

C'mon, no double-play ball here.

[The stache]

Nine runs in the last five games. Ugly. Come on offense, wake up please.

Hard to disagree with the bolded.

[yfinn6]

Whew, no longer need to worry about that double-play ball.

Are they wrong?

Living in Florida, and usually watching mlb.tv but being forced to watch sun sports, these guys are really annoying.

[Eye Black]

Alex Cobb has only faced 23 Brewers batters tonight, and 10 of them have struck out. Hopefully they find a way to turn things around in a hurry.

[adambr2]

It has to be borderline insulting to our starting pitchers that we're inquiring so heavily on Price and Lester. Like the rotation is the problem.
