Seriously, if we put in Turnbow here, who closes the game if we score? Jorge? Cappy2? That's why you don't put in Turnbow here.

[gregmag]

Um, yeah -- but we have to get out of this inning before we can think about scoring. Cart, meet horse.

 

Greg.

Saves are a silly stat.

 

I'd rather my best reliever face their best hitters here and worry about getting three outs with the lead later.

[DHarris34Phan]

What a waste of time.

[AJAY]

See you all tomorrow . . .

[SeriesFinale]

Yep, physical pain.

[PietroSanGiacomo]

Well, instead of just losing conventionally when we have a chance to go over .500, we make it last 12 painful innings now. That's progress.

[AdvantageSchneider]

Chineese Water Tourture

[danzig6767]

Turnbow waiting to "save" the game did us alot of good chewing gum in the bullpen.

[And That]

Crap-ola.

[ja002h]

Here it comes...the dagger in our heart we've been watching slowly approaching the last two hours.

 

Well said.

 

Thank you Mr. Lehr, thank you Mr. Cintron.

 

Good night.

[PietroSanGiacomo]

And another thing about Turnbow not pitching there...if you guys ran the team, he'd pitch 162 games.

[ja002h]

if you guys ran the team, he'd pitch 162 games.

 

Clearly, becase we would have no idea whether or not he pitched the day before.

[princeginterhallhelms04]

Oh well It was a hard loss to watch but a great game on a hump day entering Thirsty Thursday!

[H0FFY]

remember it has nothing to do with heart or mental qualities

 

we have guys on 2nd and 3rd in the 9th and score zilch

 

then when it becomes too painful to try to win, we just walk a couple of guys to lose the game

 

how enjoyable... how enjoyable

 

who is going to tell me 'lack of talent' led to that loss

 

I think something like 0 for 10 with RISP led to that loss, that is lack of mental talent

 

There were two times we only had to put bat on ball to score the winning run... and we could not do it

 

shameful

 

but, they will go and relax in the clubhouse... they did their job for the year, they hit .500 two times

 

LOSERS

[danzig6767]

Nope

 

I just wouldnt follow some silly code like a sheep and only use my best reliever when some dumb stat says i should.Plenty of teams lose games in the 8th inning while the heart of the others team order is up and use an inferior reliever simply because it's not a save situation.

 

Then the save situation vanished,its moronic

[SeriesFinale]

Oh well It was a hard loss to watch but a great game on a hump day entering Thirsty Thursday!

 

Yep...I'll be drinking a pot of coffee, hoping to see them at least take the series.

[sweepscc]

This game is another example why we have the second lowest batting average with runners in scoring position. Wynegar sure has got these guys confident. (I've got to take my frustration out on someone)

[And That]

This team is frustrating to watch a lot of the time, but it is better than conceding defeat most of the time, like the past 12 years. At the end of the year, this team will win somewhere between 78-82 games, just like 95% of the people here thought they would.

 

While I agree that closers shouldn't be used solely for save opportunities, I wouldn't have used Turnbow either. That means he would have been in four of the last five games (and four days out of six), and may not have been available tomorrow. I guess I'd rather have him tomorrow for a potential save opportunity than have him come in the game tonight to protract the game for another inning.

[SeriesFinale]

In the silver lining department, it was great to see Kane Davis pitch lights out like that.

[DHonks]

great game tonight. Tons of brewers fans near us, so that was fun. 7-2 in games I've been at, Ohka tomorrow. Hopefully we see the all-righty lineup, and if features Helms AND Cirillo

[verydrunk2]

Just wondering are the gas prices affecting Brewerfan.net too like they are the attendence at Miller Park?

 

What 11 pages for a heck of a game like that? We had the chance to go over .500. where is everyone??? Sleeping?

 

What does everyone have to do tomorrow work or school, you can do that any day. I thought it was going to be like that Sheets game against the Angels last year, what 27 pages.

 

Oh what did ESPN say or did not say about the Brewers??

[ja002h]

There were two times we only had to put bat on ball to score the winning run... and we could not do it

 

Hmm, that screams "lack of execution" to me, not lack of heart.

 

 

Seriously H0FFY, you're getting to the point where instead of actually writing anything, you could just have all your posts say and everyone would know exactly what you would have said.

[brewmann04]

ANYONE Realize where this Team could be if they could have learned to Hit in the Clutch at all this year.

 

This is totally unscceptable this far into the season

[rluzinski]

ANYONE Realize where this Team could be if they could have learned to Hit in the Clutch at all this year.

 

The Brewers are about 20 hits w/RISP behind their overall team .257 BA pace . The Brewers have lost about 28% of their games by 1 or 2 runs. Assuming those 20 lost hits were evening distributed throughtout the whole season:

 

20 hits x .28 = 6 hits

 

That's 6 hits w/RISP that should have occured in games the Brewers lost by 1 or 2 runs; 6 potential games that could have turned in the Brewer's favor with an extra hit. I would estimate the amount of games that would have turned into Brewer wins at about 3 games.

 

That's a theoretical 75-71 record. Still in third in the NL Central and tied for 4th in the wildcard race (maybe a 3% chance to win it).

 

O wait, was that a rhetorical question? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
