BA said Braun asked for the day off -
Yuni is the "starter"
-
Because of lefty/righty matchups
-
Did anyone else just get a Big 12 commercial, are we getting the StL feed or something?
-
Furcal was definitely looking for an inside pitch there, they are obviously stealing signs
-
I knew leaving Kotsay in the 3 hole was genius
-
Berkman almost misplayed that one, keep pounding it to right and many hits will fall
-
He seems to excel at keeping everyone happy and playing 100%, which I think is maybe more valuable than actually making correct managing decisions, but it took him 2 months to realize Carlos Gomez should not be hitting #2, 3 months before he took Loe out of the automatic 8 inning spot, and apparently infinity to determine he should not be trotting Yuni out there everyday especially now that we have 800 shortstops on the team. He still may deserve a lot of credit but also has made some pretty dumb, obvious mistakes
-
Really? He has looked terrible lately. I'm not thrilled with the move, but at least it's not some passive aggressive punishment like back when Macha was manager. Mark Kotsay has looked terrible since 2004, whereas Braun never looks terrible. Even last night he drew a walk and didnt strikeout which is a great sign for someone in a "slump"
-
If we get up 2-0 in the NLDS will we rest Braun then also?
-
Its fine if guys need days off, but does RRR not understand this game basically counts double compared to other games we play? If Braun is a little banged up this is fine (except for the order) but if its just a day off that should be tomorrow.

What happened to Yuniesky Betancourt?
topper09er replied to Yeti73's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Everyone makes errors like that at some point. Everyone makes errors like Braun's at some point, just misplayed the ball and it hit his hand. Betancourt's was a mental mistake, he was not prepared to make the right play there before the ball was hit. If he did, he would have made the very easy play of throwing the ball to first. I can't think of one game that Betancourt has directly cost the team this season due to poor fielding. I think it was mentioned earlier in this thread, but that game in Washington where he allowed the winning run (Jayson Werth) on base due to an error. And the Holliday play last week, he needed to dive for a ball hit like 5 feet from him. -
What happened to Yuniesky Betancourt?
topper09er replied to Yeti73's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
With Betancourt, you dont even need UZR, just watch the games. He is horrible out there, just last night he tried his hardest to lose the game, not even because he is fat and slow, but because he is dumb and lazy. Who tries to tag out a stealing runner on a grounder? Why would it even occur to him to try and do that, he has to be thinking with 2 outs and the runner going if he gets his glove on it throw to first. Instead he just tries to take the easy way out and tag the closest guy and drops the ball....and doesnt even hustle to pick it up and still maybe get the runner at first. We cannot have him out there in the playoffs, a good team will kill you if you give them 4 outs 6 times in 5 games. He is going to do something like that in the playoffs and will become the Bill Buckner of Milwaukee -
No its not, it may look long normally because he gets good extension, but no good hitters have long swings. Id say right now it looks like his timing if off and hes getting under the ball a little too much. He should try to work some walks and tickle to the ball to right and break out of it
-
And Laird's passed ball in the 6th
-
Huge win considering Braun may be in a mini slump this series. Guaranteed first place after the series
-
The 1-1 curves to the last 2 hitters were excellent pitches
-
RRR face palm, you bring in Counsell to replace our best infield defender and leave Yuni in there
-
Wow could the TV guys jinx this appearance any more?
-
Hey they both listened good work from our 2 season long failures
-
Now Yuni needs his standard lazy fly ball, hopefully to CF
-
YES, maybe he heard me
-
McGehee please just serve one up to Berkman for an automatic run, if he tries to pull the ball he will GIDP
-
Morgan on with the game tied in extra inning, where have we seen this before? O yeah, every time
-
Holliday is a better hitter this season, Id rather face Pujols there than Holliday, especially with the bases loaded
