TURBO

If Greinke leaves, I think there will be some serious issues in attendance... As soon as the fans feel like we are sellers, things will change at Miller Park, and quick...

You know, the injuries that we have suffered have not been to very good baseball players. We don't know what we have in Gamel, I'll give you that one. Gonzalez was a major improvement over Yuni B, and imo, this is the one that has hurt the most. Ishikawa........big deal. He shouldn't even be on our roster from the start. Izturis.....See Ishikawa. Narveson, though I know there are a lot of guys who post here who think he is a productive member of the rotation, I think this gave us a great opportunity to see what he have in guys like Peralta, Fiers, or even Thornburg. Not that TT is ready, just saying... Have we seen any of our young guys yet? Ramirez is a temporary injury, missing him a couple of games doesn't change a season. Gomez, been there done that. He gets hurt every year, we can only expect it at this point. We have plenty of other guys who can step in and play CF. Morgan and Aoki. Injuries have been a oncern, but the roster that was put together to begin with was just NOT GOOD. We would have had to have everything go GREAT to do any damage this season, instead, we have had nothing but bad.

Prince, in his leadership role of this team, would never have allowed the uninspired play that we are seeing... We don't just miss his bat, we also miss his presence.

Aoki's playing today. It's his 5th start in the last 6 games. Not really sure what you're complaining about here. Is this a problem? Kottaras (and to an even greater extent, Lucroy) is one of the better hitters in our lineup. Outside of moving Corey Hart there (and he's been hitting well since moving to leadoff), who would you propose hits cleanup? Lucroy and Kottaras have the 2nd and 3rd highest OPS's on the team. I get that you have to complain about every single thing that Roenicke does, but you're really stretching at this point. Ummmmm, isn't that what I said? KEEP playing Aoki... No complaints there, glad he is getting his just due playing time. For once, I applaud RR being able to figure out that playing your hot guys is a good thing. You are looking for a complaint that isn't there. To me, it's a joke that Kottaras is hitting clean-up. Our manager isn't bright enough to juggle a line-up so it makes sense, it seems all he can do is substitute position players into the spot that they were in the day before. In his mind, he sees Lucroy in the 4 hole, he sits Lucroy, so it is obvious to him that Kottaras must fit into that exact spot. It's asinine if you really think about it. This isn't the only example of this behavior, it has happened countless times in the past 2 years, to the point that it is now almost funny, absurd, yet funny. As far as who should be in the 4 hole, to me, it is obviously Hart. Clean-up is a power spot in the order right, who on this team has the most power outside of Braun? Aoki leads off, Morgan hits 2nd, Braun, Hart, then toss a coin... Yes, I have major issues with the way this team is managed, but don't most who are invested in this team?

Quick Question: Does our catcher now hit 4th (clean-up)? Is that the new rule? Just checking.

I don't think we are finished because of Ishikawa and Izturis being on the DL... Our issues go far deeper than having WW fodder on the DL. Those two guys can be easily replaced with guys just like them. How much do we miss Prince, seriously... As bad as I wanted McGehee and Yuni gone, last year's line-up would seem like GOLD compared to the crap we are tossing out there on a daily basis this year. I'd hit Green 5th, and Morgan 6th in this line-up, Ransom 7th, and Rickie Weeks 8th... Keep playing Aoki, dude has done nothing but perform, no more benching the guy period. At some point we have to reward those who are helping this team, no sense in trying to be fair with playing time when we are so desperate for someone to step up. Platoon Morgan and Gomez if we must, but Aoki needs to be in there every day.

Gomez is obviously not running at 100% yet. Nice rip though!

I will try and refrain from publically showing my displeasure for our manager in the future... It's just so frustrating.

It was really close. Man, I just don't know if I could have made that call if I were the ump. Tie goes to the runner, doesn't it? It seems that most plays like that one usually goes to the defense...

We get what your opinion is on him. We get it You're killing me by quoting turborickey because I blocked all his posts ages ago. He literally does nothing but complain about the manager. lol I guess that would be your option.

If RR is going to trot out and argue, he might as well make it worth his effort. That was a lame disagreement right there... WUSS!

Aoki needs to be a full time player, but I don't see how these Japanese players can hit while they seem to be bailing out of the box as they swing... Might as well keep Hart at 1B from here on out and start Aoki in RF daily. Let Morgan and Gomez platoon CF.

I can't stand listening to RR talk. I wanted to give him a break this season, but he sucks as a manager, plain and simple, he sucks.

Pulling him before the McDonald homer wouldn't have made a lot of sense, given how he got out of the first. RR didn't do any damage. Sure he did. Greinke gave up three more runs when he clearly didn't have it tonight. He was at 70 pitches when he was pulled. He was obviously laboring, and not hitting his spots. He needed to come out. agreed...

Just curious, who are the other 2?

Who gets plunked this inning, Hart or Braun? Braun better be on his toes...

Drill the next guy too, does it really matter?

Upton = baby

UUUGGGHHHH! This season blows!

RR is a dweeb. Why leave him in this long, so we can deal with another injury? The longer he is out there, the better chance he tries to do to much, overcompensate, and get hurt. Take him the hell out and be done with it!!!!! DWEEB!

yank him, he obviously is off tonight, no need to punish us with anymore...

PM sent

THAT is not a very encouraging line-up... We were pretty spoiled having Prince and Braun in our line-up all those years. 5-9 looks like a black hole of crap.

I would make that Sabathia trade 100 times over.
