It's obvious he's going to stick with his veterans. The only way he plays the likes of Green are for Melvin to get rid of McGehee/Kotsay/Counsell this off-season. He will always defer to the guys that got him to this point so he doesn't lose the clubhouse. -
They sure can hit. I think their batting order 1-8 is better than ours.
-
I think it's safe to say Pujols isn't getting fooled by Yo today.
-
Agreed. He looked like a genius bringing Dotel in to K Luc and YoGa there but there's plenty of game left to have his bullpen blow it. Losing today and wearing out his pen before playing Cincy could have lingering ramifications.

Mathematically the lead is not insurmountable, but it's mostly insurmountable. Now, if we get into a spot where it's actually down to the wire, I'll be frustrated and less excited about the playoffs, but I don't think this series proves any of that. Remember, in June we swept the Cardinals, moved us 0.5 games into the division lead and it meant a TON to the fan base (myself included) here, but it didn't do anything drastic to the division lead for weeks. This series has gone the way the Cardinals really needed it to go, and if I was a Cardinal fan, I'd be stoked, but I just don't see how it says anything bad about the Brewers in the larger scope of the season. What matters is how the Brewers respond to this. If we go into Houston and have a miserable weekend, go into St. Louis and get swept next week, then I'll be with you. Right now, I'm not worried about that though. I hear what you're saying. I just wanted to step on their throats in this series and put the division to rest. Why give them hope?
-
Why does Morgan need to slide for that ball? He's done that numerous times and I've seen him misplay balls he never had to leave his feet for in the first place.
-
I'm not suggesting we will lose the division when I say we caved under pressure this series. Even if the lead is insurmountable in your mind statistically, there is something to be said for fending off a team who is doing everything they can to catch you. The Cardinals are the motivated team and they're showing it this series.
-
Sure is hard to look at these three games and conclude anything other than the Brewers caved under pressure. STL needed these games more and sure has played like it.
-
Very disappointed in Gallardo's effort today. Just was rocked. And why is it that every first time starter we face turns into Cy Young vs. us? You'd think major league hitters still would be able to still hit a pitcher they haven't seen before.
-
Did you just see that throw from your SS. Do you want to answer the question you posed in bold now?
-
I care we didn't get Furcal because I see the same name in the lineup at SS everyday for the Brewers. And that name shouldn't even be on the roster, let alone the starting lineup.
-
They should plunk him. You're telling me LaRussa (King of Baseball) would accept Braun or Prince staring down their HR shots like Almighty Albert? At the very least, pitch him inside every pitch of the next AB.
-
Tell me more about this inside information you have about Melvin's talks with the Dodgers.He's not on the Brewers right now. STL gave up nothing to get him. I'm sure our nothing could've beaten their nothing had we tried hard enough.
-
Gallardo doing his best Ben Sheets impersonation today. 1st inning shellacking.
-
That's the one critique I have of Melvin this year: not going harder after Furcal knowing that Yuni was not the answer. And of course, he becomes a Brewer killer as soon as he arrives in STL.
-
It would be Saturday, if anything (vs. RHP Norris). Wandy Rodriguez pitches Sunday, and there's no way RR is running Green out there in his first start vs. a LHP.
-
All that fretting about Fiers, Green, McClendon, and Kintzler? And they name these two guys (one of which we picked up off the scrap heap mid-season). Great trade.
-
Not that I've ever made a comment about Yuni getting injured, but I find it silly that all of a sudden nobody can say anything negative about him now without such warnings as shown above.
-
Bring in the search team -- Taylor Green is nowhere to be found.
-
But he's been on the team throughout all this winning and Green has not so he deserves to be called upon first to hit. RR's line of thinking...
-
Hairston was not watching the ball as he fielded it
-
Yes. For St. Louis.
-
Have another cocktail LaRussa. I'll see you at the next red light. I'll bring you an extra pillow for your nap.
-
No way Prince returns. CC said all the warm and fuzzy things about MIL and in the end bolted for the cash. Winning MVP will only solidify the departure as his value will increase to the Pujols+ $ range. And to be honest, the Brewers will benefit more by him leaving in the long run as they can resign their starting pitchers, who are obviously more important to the team's success.
-
He isn't our closer... And you see why
