Another day of poor starting pitching for Milwaukee. Have wait until Nelson pitches again to see quality stuff. Worst team ERA in all of baseball. When our owners tank, they REALLY tank.

Apparently not as well as the Yankees, the Twins, the Astros, the Reds, the Padres, and especially the Braves.

They all have a better pitching staff than ours. I bet at least 3 of those teams improve.

and we can't improve?

Sounds kind of ignorant when you probably have never watched Guerra pitch in your life. Jeez let the guy have a chance before you start complaining. People thought the same about Jungmann last year and he tore it up for a few months.

[MrTPlush]

Well I would be pretty surprised if the Yankees/Astros don't improve and be better than us. Braves/Padres could be worse and the Reds are a toss-up.

[FVBrewerFan]

I like it, I'll be tuning in to watch a 58 yr old pitcher make his MLB debut. How long before we see the old "Player X plays every position in a game?" Or a Sumo wrestler play CF?

[GoToHelfaer]

This isn't tanking.. Wendy Selig-Prieb was tanking.

Mike Trout is a pleasure to watch. Wish he was in the NL.

Not when we keep starting guys for multiple games and they cost us by doing nothing and then management ships the guys off to AAA. Bring up the next guy. How come people aren't responsible for making poor decisions on sticking with player that completely fail.

Swing the bat, Walsh.

Guerra has a history that is nuts compared to Jungmann. And Jungmann sucks too.

[MrTPlush]

It is funny because even he knows he can't hit the broad side of a barn

Sounds like Buds old teams when you hope magic happens to an old "has been". Our team plan seems to be to let a guy go for a long time - and after a that time of failure, send them to AAA like nothing really matters or was affected. Who cares? right !

Just out of curiosity... what specific moves are you hoping they make?

Good take on 3-1, the 3-2 pitch was right down the middle. It's nice he takes his walks, but he needs to start swinging the bat with some authority.

[scuttlebutts]

If Guerra can get through the next two innings without giving up a run, he could be the second best starter in our rotation. Lets get ready for the playoffs.

Really all you are doing is insulting our AAA pitchers because Guerra is the most productive one. Maybe if the other ones didn't stink up the joint we wouldn't have this old guy pitching.

[yfinn6]

I don't care how old Guerra is as long as he can get some outs.

[MrTPlush]

Saw that coming after that big hack.

[scuttlebutts]

What! is that Jucroy's first HR in two years?

[scuttlebutts]

Carter is our best player by far on offense, along with Nelson on defense.

Lol. Carter by far...eh?

 

Your posts make it seem like you hate the make up of the team...that's fine, but the shtick is getting old. Reminds of the the one poster who made all sorts of bold claims and is no longer around. Hopefully your fate isn't the same.
