IGT 8/16 Cardinals (Wainwright) at Brewers (Bush) 1:05

[Fear The Chorizo]

Looks like the Cards got a quality start out of their starter too

[pretendastronaut]

None of us are sure why Ned does anything.

I think I am at the point that I would be willing to boo this team. I have never done that before. But if I was at this game I might be letting them have it. They have been completely embarrased by, in my opinion, an inferior team.

[JohnBriggs12]

Ned decides to press his luck. Has Bush nearing 120 pitches. Anyone want to bet he doesn't get past the 4th in his next start?

[pretendastronaut]

Bush is going to try to push over 120? Wow.

There was some booing at the end of last night's game, but nothing dominating.

Our vaunted trio of Sheets/Capuano/Suppan has not posted a win since June, per Jim Powell.

[sheethead]

He hit a solo HR, his 2nd of the year, how is that showing he is going to have 'one of those days'. I mean it's fine if people dont' like Yost but nitpicking things like this is just taking it too far. There is almost never a reason to IBB Yadier Molina with 2 outs. Get him out and let the next inning start with the pitcher up for an easier inning.

 

I'm tired of arguing this one. You wouldn't have walked Molina, I would have. Done.

[endaround]

Bush is really going to throw 130 pitches? Really? What is that to amke sure that we have a trip through teh rotation without any good starts next time?

Yeesh

[Team Canada]

Wow, Bush goes 7, 127 pitches. At least he saves the bullpen.

[sheethead]

Dave Bush gets a standing "O" from me. Too bad Benji freakin Molina had to blow this special outing for him and the Brewers.

 

Edit: And freakin Adam Wainwright gets some props for dominating the Brews bats too.

[endaround]

How much of that is due to the vaunted closer coughing up 3 runs leads?

I'm not sure you IBB him, but it's squarely on the pitcher to not throw him meatballs. Make him swing at something borderline, and if you happen to walk him, then fine, get the pitcher out.

The Brewers have had 2 straight incredible Saturday night victories. They have followed up each of those victories with 4 losses. I really can't see anything turning this team around.

 

I think the loss of Sheets destroyed this already fragile team.

[Patrick425]

If there is anyone at the game that has access to this right now...can you please confirm that it's Adam Wainwright on the mound. He has 8 Ks, a shutout, and has only allowed 2 hits....there is no way that can be Adam Wainwright.

[endaround]

Send Bush back out there I'm sure he has like 8 pitches left!

[BrewCrewForever]

So how is that whole planting a seed thing working when you called out that young player Yost? Is that working good?

[pretendastronaut]

Wow, a 7 pitch inning. 7 innings for Wainwright and less than 100 pitches. Way to look for your pitch out there guys.

[JohnBriggs12]

Boy I am sure glad I don't have tickets to any remaining games. Darn. If Bush could have got 2 more outs, he could have lowered his ERA under 5.

[rotoherb]

I think this is worse than the no hitter. At least Verlander was throwing high nineties with wicked movement that game. Wainwright isn't terrible, but a two hitter? C'mon....

[Klements Bratwurst]

To buy or not to buy playoff tickets that are coming in the mail.

 

That is the question......

[sheethead]

7 pitches for Wainwright in the 7th inning. This just keeps getting worse.

[JET15]

I really can't see anything turning this team around.

We have to go haiku, fuchsia or no-pants to put a serious end to this madness

[Fear The Chorizo]

So how long before Linebrink's agent calls the Yankees/Mets/Red Sox and says, "We'll take an out of town discount to pitch for you"

He's been really good since coming to Milwaukee...Too bad everyone else on the roster hasn't
