You know I really wish I could watch Nelson's first start instead of Bears vs. Detroit.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[Cracked Bat Collector]

NO TV AGAIN!! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!! THAT'S THE 3RD TIME THIS ROAD TRIP AND 2 DAYS IN A ROW WITH NO TV. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

Man, with this lineup, it seems like Ned is trying to lose.

[RightFieldCoder]

Yeah, why not give Carlos the day off and have Magruder in LF? That would make the lineup real fun for the 'stros staff.

[AJAY]

Another horrible start for the Brewers. A walk and a hit batter set up this mess. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[rluzinski]

I would like this season to end, please.

[Southwest Brewer]

Ned's going for a dramatic finish. He doesn't want to get to 81 to fast.

[SheetsCyYoung04]

Nelson Cruz needs a good nickname. If I call him Nelson, it could get confused with Brad Nelson and if I call him Cruz it gets confused with Enrique.

[whizkid]

Man, I sure don't want the season to end. I want to see a game with Prince, Rickie, JJ, Corey and Nelson all in the lineup and Dennis starting. There's fun to be had the rest of the way watching at least some of these guys.

[tomwopat]

if we do't get at least one here i'm going to go nuts!

[ThePurpleStorm]

GO NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AJAY]

BOOOOOOOOOOO !!

[bjkrautk]

Just turned the gamecast on; I don't like the lineup we've got out there today. I know it's a day game after a night game, but if ever there's a time not to rest so many of your key guys, it's when you have a pitcher who still has an outside shot at 20 wins taking the mound.

i am currently going nuts.

[Yaz]

Hmm, not to good for the Crew today again. Looks like they packed it in after the game Friday night.

 

Maybe they can come back today against Wandy. Or maybe not.

[AJAY]

Is there anything worse than being shut down over and over by a guy named "Wandy"?

[UndraftedFA]

I hope Lidge isn't available today.

[strawbossisevil]

This is the worst lineup I've seen in a long time. Now I'm sure there are reasons for it (Jenkin's back, Hardy's foot, Week's hand) but wow, I'm usually pretty laid back on judging managerial decision, but this one blows chunks. Although I have to admit that it is cool to see N. Cruz in the lineup, even if he hasn't had that first big league knock yet.

 

Only this Brewer's lineup could put Wandy and shutout in the same sentance.

[tomwopat]

the only redeeming quality of this game is kane davis' gameday picture. it looks like a glamor shot!

[strawbossisevil]

Here's a question, should Kane Davis be with the Crew next year? He's had a few miserable outings, but he still has managed to keep his ERA around 3, and the guy can absolutely throw smoke. Any opinions?

[BrewCrewForever]

How do we suck so bad, over these last three days?

[AJAY]

Jim Powell and Bob Uecker seem frustrated that the hitters are trying to pull everything. Wynegar and Yost need to have a team meeting and rip into the hitters for not making adjustments.

While I have no doubt a point needs to be made, I hope that sort of generic approach isn't taken.

 

I hope that Yost and Wynegar know their players well enough to know what motivates them. Because there are plenty of players who won't respond well to that type of motivation, and it's often counter-productive.

 

All great coaches know what they need to do to motivate and reach the individual players on their roster. Just because the don't have a closed door screaming fit, it doesn't mean they aren't coaching...

[bucksman4]

Yost definitely fools me when he says .500 is his goal. You put this lineup out there and expect to win? You are just asking HOU to sweep you when you do something this stupid. If you're resting guys this late in the season, that is totally stupid. With a few weeks to go, what the heck is the difference? You put your best lineup out there if you want to accomplish this .500 goal. I question Yost's logic a lot, but how can't you?
