2014-09-19 Brewers (Gallardo) at Pirates (Locke), 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-2]

[Bombers]

RRR is sticking it out with Reynolds as he has him starting again. Just laughable

[coolcool]

Davis, Weeks, Reynolds, Segura, and Gallardo all in a row. That'll jump start the offense.

 

Admittedly it's like shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic, but how the hell is Reynolds starting when he's batting UNDER 200 and defensively practicality threw away the rest of the season last night. So he's rewarded with a start???

[yfinn6]

He's a gritty battler.

[trwi7]

Each of our first five hitters has an OPS over .800 against lefties and the 6th hitter (Weeks) is at .793. If the offense is going to break out, today would be the day.

 

*Fully prepared and expecting them to get shutout on 3 hits.

[TURBO]

Reynolds should still be in a time-out from that debacle last night, but the Brewer way is to close your eyes and pretend that he is an asset to this line-up.

[trwi7]

A 4 freakin' pitch inning from our 3-4-5 hitters.

[sdcheezhd]

That one's on Reynolds not Weeks. Not that it was a great throw but Reynolds should have it.

Was thinking the same thing. He didn't have a need to dive at it. The 1st base dugout camera showed it went right under his glove. Not an easy play but one he should make.

Glad Braun decided to swing at 37 balls in that AB.

[yfinn6]

What a shocker.. Lucroy gets on and Ramirez promptly grounds into a double-play.

 

I'm not sure why I expect the Brewers to score anymore; they've already scored their two runs for the evening.

[trwi7]

I'll be honest, I'm not even sure if I want Ramirez back next year. He seems really lazy to me.

[trwi7]

So what's the rationale for leaving Gallardo in for 110+ pitches but taking Lohse out yesterday with fewer than 90?

 

Not saying I disagree with leaving Gallardo in. Just baffled how Lohse was taken out

[trwi7]

lol. Our playoff acquisition gives up the homer that probably ends our season.

[dlk9s]

hmm

[yfinn6]

Yep, knew that was coming. Broxton is the 8th inning guy.. gotta stick with him.

[DocLuna7]

I am done.

[adambr2]

Awesome that Russell was not down 0-2 to Broxton because the 1st base umpire obviously was not paying attention and completely blew a check swing call.

[TURBO]

Just stand there Ron, just stand there and look puzzled.

[I Heart Brewers]

Haha! 'Must use 8th inning setup man'.

 

Anybody know how to reprogram the RRR v-1.0?

might as well shut down Braun Lucroy Gomez and Ramirez from here on out

[jerichoholicninja]

Hopefully that at least seals Ron's fate as fired.

Hopefully that at least seals Ron's fate as fired.

 

Pirates announcers heavily suggesting he deserves to be canned. Could see it that Broxton was about to blow the lead again.

[I Heart Brewers]

Only reason I'm sticking with the game is some of the great posts after this meltdown. By meltdown I mean 150 days.

 

That and my kids are watching some weird Australian gymnast movie on Netflix.

[ctmyers]

Broxton is Axford 2.0. All fastballs, can't count on a secondary pitch to save his life. You'd think this team was done with that...
