That should be the last game Rodriguez ever pitches as a Milwaukee Brewer. If he pitches in anything other than mop-up duty, it's a travesty.
-
But he's our 9th inning guy. Doesn't matter that he's literally .1 WAR from WANG CHUNG! He's our closer (insert trademark).
-
Yep. Just yep.
-
This could only get worse if Rodriguez gives up a gopher ball in the 9th.
-
Yep, I know Garza was on a pitch count. 6 pitchers to get 8 innings and we're tied. Hope we don't go extras.
-
Went out for a run. I came back and see that RRR burned 3 relievers in one inning. After our starter went 4 innings tonight and less than that last night. For all of the talk Dusty Baker got about burning out starters...

From an organization's point of view, Braun's thumb injury needs to be resolved. If surgery is the best option, it needs to be done sooner rather than later. The Brewers have been in limbo for over a year on this. This is NOT a reflection on Braun - I'm sure he's doing everything he can to be as good as he can be.

We've had Jimmy Nelson in the wings (in the upper minors) for 1.5 years and he's won 1 of his last 10 starts, going 1-7 in that stretch. Maybe Nelson will have a Peralta-like 2nd year and these struggles will serve him well in the long run. I'm hopeful. But to put so much faith in Jungmann seems a little premature -- hopefully still justified in the long run, but premature right now -- since he hasn't had nearly the MiLB success Nelson did. I don't think we can totally stand pat. But I'm not sure a total housecleaning's in order, either. (That said, Alfredo Figaro should never pitch for the Brewers ever again, and why he's still around while Blazek, Pena, and even Wooten haven't been brought up completely astounds me.) My reference to Jungmann was meant to illustrate that we don't have a lot in the wings. I'm a bigger supporter of Nelson. Lohse, Garza, Gallardo, Peralta, Fiers/Nelson next year.
-
My worst fear is that DM stays pat with the rationalization that "we were good for 140 games". Lohse, Garza and Gallardo are one year older - the likelihood of them breaking down in the future is higher. And we've got Jungmann in the wings.
-
That's funny.
-
The question is, do we have enough starting pitching depth to replace 180 innings of sub 4.00 ERA? This, to me, is the saddest part of this season. We've enjoyed very good health in the starting rotation; it's unlikely for this to happen next year.
-
Another less than 10 pitch inning by the opposing pitcher! There is no way I can be convinced that the manager and hitting coach should not be, at the least, partially responsible for this. If they get another runner on base with no outs, the next two hitters would be ORDERED to take pitches until they got a strike. Just ridiculous approaches at the plate. This is BRAD PENNY, not Kershaw/King Felix.
-
Down 4. Two more first pitch outs. But, we're aggressive!!!
-
Hey, RRR was 15 pitches ahead of schedule. Yo's probably already hitting the PBR.
-
Making that journeyman pitcher with a 6+ ERA work hard!
-
Awesome quote. Although I might be tempted to replace "mystery" with "misery".
-
And now an error. It wouldn't surprise me if RRR was gone tonight. It's gotten that bad.
-
Maybe a coaching staff meeting would be more beneficial.
-
I have to question why Reynolds is playing at this point. Clark may not be the future, but he's been very hot at AAA and it would be nice to see if he can hit major league pitching. It's pretty clear that Reynolds cannot.
-
This has become a collapse of historical proportions. I can't see any way that Attanasio doesn't take some form of action regarding RRR or DM.
-
Maybe another team meeting would help.
-
I think Braun needs to seriously consider surgery in the off season if there's a chance that it will fix his thumb. Because the many months he had over the suspension/offseason haven't been the solution.
-
This team just can't get over the hump lately.
-
Good at bats by Gennett and Parra.
-
More awesomeness from Lohse. He's been unimpressive - maybe time to go back to the 5 man rotation.
