Pat Hugh's what is terrible? -
I don't mind having "set" roles for relievers, but there needs to be some room for adjustment, hence my use of quotes. It is much easier for relievers to prepare themselves mentally when they know the general situations in which they'll enter the game. The setup guy knows he's pitching the 8th with a small lead or maybe in a tie game. The closer knows he's got the 9th, etc. It's not easy to get geared up on a moment's notice without any idea at all if it might be your turn. That said, a manager shouldn't always stick to the script. If a different, fully capable pitcher possibly has a much better matchup brewing, get him tentatively ready. Just let him get casually loose and if the situation draws nearer, have him pick up the pace so he can be all set to go. I also still don't get why they didn't IBB Ramirez to load the bases with one out. Now you set up the force at home and a possible DP with Soto at the plate.
-
You know, sometimes a team just doesn't hit well on a given night. Happens.
-
I just saw the replay of the run on MLB Network. It looked like Barney still might've gotten in there with a better throw. He made it the last few feet very quickly. It wouldn't have taken a perfect throw to get him, but a merely decent throw might not have.
-
So, what's the reasoning for not walking Ramirez? I like my chances better with the force possibility at home and the DP possibility with Soto running.
-
Uh...I'd IBB Ramirez.
-
According to Gameday, every pitch to Barney could have been called a strike (he did foul off one outside the zone).
-
By the way, on an unrelated note, next time the Brewers strand 2-3 runners with no outs, keep in mind that the Yankees had bases loaded and no outs tonight and didn't score. And that was with A-Rod, Cano, and Swisher taking their hacks.
-
If I'm ever able to access BF.net, yet not able to get on MLB.com, ESPN.com, Yahoo, or another game tracking site, it's comforting to know I'll always have ilovebeer for my inning-by-inning pitch count updates.
-
Sometimes you just have one of those games. Fortunately, Wolf is pitching well, so it's still tied.
-
Congratulations! Now go enjoy yourself some meconium.

I don't get as down on RRR has most, but holy crap, that squeeze was one of the most inexplicable calls I've ever seen, especially given how that AB had already unfolded.
-
I'm so glad I got the live look-in for the squeeze fail. And Gameday still hasn't figured out what happened.
-
Was that for real?
-
For some reason, he always seems to be "on" when he faces the Brewers. And when he's pitching well, his stuff is pretty nasty to right-handed batters, of which the Brewers have plenty.

I hear you, but if my kids aren't at least Packers/Brewers fans I will consider myself a failure as a father. I can't not stomach the idea of sharing a house with Rams/Cardinals fans.I'm getting there. They're only 2 and 4 and it's not like they are fans of other teams or anything. My 4-year old daughter does cheer for the Brewers and Packers and recognizes them when they are on TV, but she doesn't quite understand exactly what she's cheering for. She did start chanting "VIR-GIN-IA! VIR-GIN-IA!" during the 9th inning of the UVa baseball game today, though she really has no clue what the difference is between college and pros. I need more gear for my kids. All I have is a Braun shirt for my daughter and a Fielder shirt for my son. I think they've both grown out of them, though my son will now get the Braun shirt. EDIT: I might have to suck it up and pay for MLB.tv so I can be sure my kids are constantly flooded with Brewers images. Packers are easier - they're on TV a lot and since it's only once a week, I can take them to a sports bar if I need to (which I have done since they were just lumps of skin and drool).

YuniB AB #1: Swing Nieves AB #1: DP Tie!
-
I misread MLB.com Gameday on the first pitch to Hart and thought it said, "Ball 91-seam fastball." I thought, "DAMN! Sounds nasty!"
-
Yeah, I guess I was thinking back to when both of my kids were born. C-sections. So, yes, it was a different room. Flat screen in there would have been boss. I would've had it on a Brewers/Packers/Bucks/Marquette/Virginia loop so my kids were indoctrinated immediately. It's hard to get them into all my teams when I don't live in Wisconsin anymore.
-
I hope you mean that the recovery room or hospital room has a TV because if the actual delivery room had a TV, that's nuts.
-
He'd better get it soon because he's not getting a hit against the Brewers.
-
Hire Danny Ocean.
-
All I need now is for my Virginia Cavaliers to finish off UC-Irvine after a rain delay today to make it to the CWS and my weekend will be complete.
-
Westbrook is really pitching a nice game. Everything is down and everything is tough to square up.
-
Ah, crap! I forgot I wasn't live and read this before it happened!
