    #1 - No one proposed this until after Hart had an 0'fer. #2 - Would it have made a difference? Plush would have been up in the platoon and as I've said multiple times, and other posters have as well, it's no given he gets that ball. The given is that if Braun backs Kotsay/Plush/Gomez up, the run likely doesn't score.
  2. TheCrew
    No, I said I thought it was a horrible decision prior to the game - the results proved it wasn't a horrible decision and actually was a damn good one from an offensive perspective. If your going to pass judgement on his decision, then you surely need to look at the results of the decision - not the prediction of the results.
  3. TheCrew
    Huh? Umm.......you want to judge the success of the move but what the probable results would have been - not what they actually were.
  4. TheCrew
    I thought it was a horrible decision - then he had a HR and 2 walks. I don't buy into the fact that him not getting to that ball cost the Brewers the game - and that's what many are implying, some even directly saying, cost the Brewers the game. The Brewers got outplayed last night - it's simple as that.
  5. TheCrew
    Yeah, Braun should get a pass on playing fundamental baseball because other players - even good defensive players - never commit errors. Knowing you have Kotsay in CF is EVEN MORE reason Braun should have been busting his tail to get over there - Only thing you did with your statement is provide more evidence of why Braun should have gotten in better position to back him up.
  6. TheCrew
    You are just trolling now. Was there ever a doubt as to whether Braun should be playing left field last night?Why, because I don't agree with the sentiment that Kotsay cost the Brewers the game last night? Sorry, I believe the Brewers collectively playing poorly cost them the game - not Kotsay in CF - anything we would have gained defensively with Plush or Go-Go would have been lost offensively with Plush or Go-Go.

    Let's, go watch the video: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/....jsp?content_id=19888335 Look at where Furcal is when the ball gets by Braun. He deserves just as much criticism for the run scoring. Not to mention, this may have also held Jay at 1st......
  8. TheCrew
    They didn't need to go 3-4, but the criticism is deserved across the board. For example Braun's lack of an effort of backing up Kotsay on that play - you can't deny that alone could have prevented a run. He deserveds JUST as much criticism as Kotsay, if not more since his play - or lack of - is something your taught to do from little league on. People need to go watch the play again, it's no given that Morgan gets there with the way he has been misjudging balls lately and that ball was a blooper to left center - people are acting like it was a routine fly. I'm not trying to rag on Prince/Braun/Yo - we aren't here without them - the point I'm making, is with the way the big boys played last night, does anyone really think with Morgan or Gomez playing the Brewers win that game? I just don't see it...... what they would have gained on defense would have been most likely lost on offense. Unless you truly believe that Kotsay is at fault for all 4 runs.......... but I just don't buy that logic.
  9. TheCrew
    Hey, I hated it when I saw the lineup card as well. Then he delivered at the plate. Go watch the bloop and look at Braun as well - this was a bloop that some could even argue he might have been able to get to had he given max effort, there is no excuse for him not properly backing up Kotsay though. That could have prevented a run - love how this gets overlooked though. Still can't escape the fact that Kotsay delivered 1 of the 3 Brewers runs on his own and he also got on base 2 times in front of Braun and Fielder - they didn't deliver. Trying to make Kotsay the scapegoat for the loss is a complete joke. Edit: Making RR the scapegoat - for starting Kotsay - is also a complete joke. Give criticism where it's do - the Brewers big boys didn't perform last night.
  10. TheCrew
    Sorry, but if the 2nd batter of the game takes you out of the game.......... if the team is really that weak, they don't belong here then.
  11. TheCrew
    Where is the criticism on Yo for only striking out 2 and walking 5? How about Hart/Braun/Weeks/Fielder going a combined 2 for 14? I guess Kotsay missing the bloop to left-center is the cause of that as well?
  12. TheCrew
    Nobody is complaining about Kotsay being in the lineup, or even hitting second. They're literally all complaining about him being in center field. I wish you'd address that if you're going to defend Roenicke so vehemently.I've addressed it multiple times - there is one play in question with his defense that you could directly pin a run on. (although I'll say it again, Braun backs him up properly - it may have prevented the run) Kinda funny that the best Brewers bats last night were Kotsay and Betancourt.
  13. TheCrew
    How was it negated? Did Braun and Fielder get at bats with him on base? Did he not move up to 2nd on a fly ball from Braun........... amazing that a guy who has "no speed" could do that. The point is, with the bloop - there was NOBODY out, if it's caught there is 1 out. Why are some of you acting as if that was the 3rd out of the inning? Did Kotsay walk the next 2 batters? Hart's catch was easier imo, ball hung up there and he didn't give max effort to get there in time. Some of you need to go back and watch the play itself: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/....jsp?content_id=19888335 I don't think it's a given Morgan gets there - guy hasn't been playing good D lately. Where is the criticism on Braun for letting it get by him after it landed......... that could have prevented a run.
  14. TheCrew
    What's next - Kotsay a terrorist too? How about Gallardo walking Holliday and Berkman on 10 pitches to load the bases? Then Hart missing an easier catch then Kotsay's - he makes that catch, they still get out of the inning with only 1 run scored. Hart's play had a greater impact and was probably the easier catch of the two.
  15. TheCrew
    Anyone for the Brewers have a better night offensively? Only criticism the guy deserves imo is rolling out Narvy, but he didn't throw many pitches - Marcum has been brutal lately, he better be on a damn short leash next time out.
  16. TheCrew
    I'm guessing Morgan starts tomorrow - partly because of his energy/enthusiasm, Brewers need it right now.
  17. TheCrew
    Anyone else feel like ripping that banner down, Office Space-style right now? I'm not sure if I hate Roenicke, or just hate how stupid he can be. Really? Cherry picking a quote from a Dec 2010 interview is what it's coming to now?
  18. TheCrew
    He got on base in front of Braun/Fielder - he did his job, they didn't. I wasn't thrilled when I saw the lineup card, but 2 walks and a HR - tough to argue with that. Brewers scored 2 runs without Kotsay tonight....... barring extreme luck or Plush just knocking out Alberta at first if he would have gotten on base...... the outcome of this game would have likely been the same if Gomez/Morgan started.
  19. TheCrew
    The vibe on this board has been glass half empty, even after the win against AZ - Don't really get it either. Brewers almost always play well in Stl - don't expect this to be any different. This series will go 6 or 7.
  20. TheCrew
    So was Molitor's dad screwing with him when he left for more $? What about every other FA in baseball history that took more $? The guy wants to get paid fair market value - same as his peers..............
  21. TheCrew
    Some people are comical...... way too much negativity on this board.......... not gonna get wrapped up in it because the Brewers just won their first playoff series since I was in diapers! Prince is doing what EVERY SINGLE RED BLOODED AMERICAN MALE DOES - Getting paid the most money he can for what he does!!! EVERY ONE of us does this and the reality is, while there are a lot that spout off about how they would take less to stay in Milwaukee, most of us wouldn't. (and most of us have WI ties - Prince really doesn't) If the coming days are Prince's last as a Brewer.............. I'm just glad I got to watch!
  22. TheCrew
    Don't think this article has all the facts of plus/carp/alberta correct, but damn...... it's got me pumped up for tomorrow: http://www.cbssports.com/...-in-manila-baseballstyle

    The hell with nice: "I think no one really likes Carpenter," Zack Greinke, Milwaukee's Game 1 starter, said Saturday. "They think his presence, his attitude out there sometimes is like a phony attitude," Greinke said. "And then he yells at people. He just stares people down. And most pitchers don't do that."
  24. TheCrew
    Yeah, cause the rest of the team was on fire in AZ!!!
  25. TheCrew
    NOBODY has put blinders on regarding Yuni. I was VERY PISSED when Melvin passed on Furcal, and that still might bite us in the arse. The problem is, whenever someone doesn't join in the bashing of Yuni on here, it gets construed with praising the guy and they seem to think we want him as our everyday SS for the rest of his career when that couldn't be further from the truth. The reality is this though - Furcal was a risk because of injury - outside of that, there was not a single clear cut upgrade. Even with a perfect 20/20 hindsight and looking back at the season, there isn't a single everday SS we can point to and say Melvin should have gone with him over Betancourt.
