TURBO

Castro even double pumped and Braun was still out by a mile! We could make one heck of a blooper reel with our season long base running gaffes But we are like the 2nd best base running team in MLB according to some very meaningful, very accurate, scientific stat...

RRR must agree with the way Sedar does things... It never changes, so RRR must be on board with it.

bad base running costing us another run? how odd.

If that call would have been overturned, I don't know what else a catcher can do in that situation...

RIP Mork from Ork...

I am so happy that I am not the only one with these feelings. I was sure there would be people here slamming me for my thoughts posted above. Now if only we could get rid of all these annoying commercials I have to try and ignore when watching games on tv. The repetition is almost unbearable!

ahhhh, my bad, what was I thinking? Thanks for the correction.

This post is a rant, I am aware of that, but it is what it is. Each time I go to a game the past couple of years, I find myself wondering why I bother. The cost of taking a family of 4 to a Brewers game is just absolutely insane . If I stay home and watch it on TV, there is no $15 parking fee, there are no tickets to buy, there is no ticket fee (deals can be had, but still, tickets for a family of 4 are going to run you around $100 if you are willing to sit in the nosebleeds), I don't have to pay prices that are 10x the real cost of refreshments and snacks/food at home. (We started taking our own stuff in a few years ago. We almost always still buy something, but paying those prices is just no longer feasible) If I stay at home to watch, I don't have to deal with someone spilling something on me from behind, accident or not, it always seems to happen. I don't have to sit by clueless, screaming fans that really have no idea what they are yelling about half the time, just like to scream out complaints, etc...(I have stories from yesterday of course, but I will spare you the details). I don't have to deal with bratty kids who can't sit still for an inning without some kind of interference. Crying, snotty kids are the norm these days though, no matter where you go. So many parents seem oblivious to the fact that there are times when their precious little ones are actually ruining a good time for others because of their behavior. When my kids were little, if I gave them a bag of peanuts in the shell, that would keep them busy for hours...lol I don't have to deal with people who seem to get up every inning and have to leave, causing entire rows to have to stand, try to step aside, only to have to do it all again when they return 10 minutes later, followed by the same people leaving again 15 minutes later. Yesterday, a man and woman actually cut across an entire section of people to get to the next section over where there seats were. An entire row of people had to stand, readjust themselves, while these 2 clueless people walked in front of them. All they had to do was go around, but that was an inconvenience to them, so they would rather upset an entire row of what. 30 people, just because they don't understand common courtesy. At home I don't have to view entire sections of people taking selfies, texting, or even having loud conversations on their phones at the expense of those around them. How anyone can go to a game and sit the entire time on their phones is just asinine in my opinion. No, people texting constantly doesn't effect me, but I find it annoying none the less. There were times yesterday when there were fewer people not engaged with their phones than those that were engaged with their phones. I am not a phone guy, I do not have a smart phone, and I do not feel the need to be in contact with another human being by phone, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I guess I am old fashioned about some things. We always have to decide if we should leave early to avoid some of the traffic rush, or if we'd rather stay for the games entirety, knowing the next 45 minutes will be pure hell. Yesterday's score made it easy to leave after the 8th, so it wasn't a real issue. Also, crossing the bridge to the parking lot is always fun too. I love breathing in second hand smoke all the way across that bridge, from the people who just can't wait any longer to fill my air with their poison. The day that smoking was outlawed in public places was one of the happiest days of my life, I despise breathing in other people's smoke. Just hate it. I don't have to fight traffic trying to exit the stadium. That is always fun. Then of course, it is another hour and 45 minutes of driving to get home, which is always far worse than the drive to the stadium because of being tired, or irritated from everything else I mentioned above. So, I am left wondering why I do it, why do I go to games when I know what is going to happen every time? I guess I will try and figure it out the next time I go.

Didn't like the shiny gold jerseys on those bobbles, the brewers have never worn the shiny gold jerseys, why depict them in a bobblehead? One of the Cerveceros, Craig Counsell, had a blue jersey... First off, why pick Craig Counsell as your Cerveceros representitive, who is as white as white can be. It's a buyers market on most Brewers SGA bobbles these days. Prices have dropped considerably the past couple of years. If you collect to make money, you might be out of luck. If you collect just to add them to your collection, you are either happy they do so many, or sad because they do too many and they just aren't as special as they once were. Which of course, brings me back to their current value, which is pretty much nothing on the market.

corrected!

It is nice to feel deep at SP... Just feels NICE!

yup, I completely agree. It had to be done in this case.

...and the 20 minutes of terror has reared its ugly head.

N-A-S-T-Y!

If someone went back through all the game threads this season, I wonder how many times Gomez would be named in a stupid base running mistake?

Brian Wilson looks like a complete tool... When you are good, you can pull that stupid stuff off, but when you are bad, you just look stupid and sad.

The Packers started pre-season games already, I hadn't noticed...(not in blue)

Anyone have any insight on Wang and the T-Rats? Will he stick around Wisconsin for a while, or is the plan only one start?

I love how you're only here to criticize other people's posts. That's awesome. Every time the bullpen doesn't have a perfect inning they're going to cost us the season. Every time we make an out on the bases we're the worst base running team in the league. I'm just trying to counteract the abundant negativity during a season when we've been in first place for over 4 months. But it kind of feels like your negative posts about other's negative posts just leads to more negativity, and not the fun kind either...At least that is how it seems to me anyway.

This is the IN GAME THREAD, a lot of comments made here are off the cuff, pure reaction to what is going on at the moment. Not everything has to be peaches and roses, these threads provide a little stress relief, so stop raining on our parade!

My gosh, you are right, good call!

That is a horrible sample size. Overbay is the only one with 10 or more at bats, and even that is not a real reason to give him a start. If our manager is basing today's starting line-up on those stats, this is another reason we need to look for a new manager in 2015. This line-up is pretty pathetic, which is why we will score 8 runs and win easily.

Agreed, this is THE must win game of the series. Lose this one, and there is a chance we get swept. You put all your big guns out there for this one, PERIOD!

I hope common sense ruled that decision, but I'm afraid it is only because Estrada pitched too many innings yesterday...

what, wait, what?
