    He's not a full inning pitcher Ron! Situational LHP!
  2. bucksman4
    Herrera vs righties? I don't think RR gets the point of LOOGY's.
  3. bucksman4
    Estrada already warming up! He goes from RR's 8th inning setup man to long-relief pitcher? Talk about an about-face there Ron.
  4. bucksman4
    He may not even make it to the 4th at this rate.

    The Saux lineup is wicked awesome.
  6. bucksman4
    This is one tough lineup. You can't let up on any hitter in their order.
  7. bucksman4
    Yeah his accent is pretty bad. Gantner has a noticeable one too. Casey expelling some demons and getting Shaun an early cushion.

    Honestly, I don't care what his ERA is through x number of starts to begin the season if there's nothing alarming about how he's pitching, and there's not. It's just how it's worked out so far. Odds are, he'll be better from here on out. The point you really either seem to be missing or glossing over is that it is very difficult, at best, to "expect" anything out of any pitcher for 50 random innings to begin a season. This is part of the reason that relief pitchers are so hard to pin down. Sure, better pitchers will tend to pitch better in general, but plenty of awesome pitchers have produced poor results (at least via ERA) at the beginning of the year, or in any 50 random innings. If Greinke had allowed only 25 ER on the year as opposed to 31, he'd have a 4.22 ERA right now and I'm guessing this thread wouldn't exist. And it wouldn't exist because of 6 meager runs in 9 starts. A few runs here, and a few runs there. How's that for expectations? I don't think Greinke's start is worth gnashing teeth over, but clearly you disagree. Whatever - be disappointed all you want. But not everybody has to be, despite your beliefs. "High ERA, high K pitcher," hilarious indeed. Until proven otherwise...

    Why can't anyone disagree? I disagree. Look, I just did. Someone else did, too. We have a quorum of disagreement. He's pitched just fine for the most part, made a few bad pitches that have been hammered and pitched into some bad luck with crappy defense. I am not concerned. Gallardo had a 5.11 ERA after 8 starts, 4.88 after 9. His sky seemed to stop falling shortly thereafter. Or has he been disappointing too? Edit: Here is my Disciples of Uecker thought on the Greinke situation. I think maybe bucksman meant we expected better results. We probably didn't expect his K/BB and K/9 to be as high as they are but we also didn't expect him to give up so many runs. That's not to say he's been pitching bad but just that we expected his typical stat line to look better. Yes, exactly. Im not saying he won't turn things around as Yo did after his rough start to get his ERA in line with his high K/BB rate. Thankfully the offense has picked him up in most of his starts to give him a high win total. I'm disappointed in what I've seen out of him so far because I was expecting a stud who would shut down opponents every few starts (Marcum's performance thus far is what I expected of Greinke).

Edit: Here is my Disciples of Uecker thought on the Greinke situation. I'm sure you believed you were getting a pitcher whose ERA was 5 plus thru his first 9 starts after giving up four of the Brewers top prospects. He's a Cy Young just a few years ago and suddenly he's getting rocked and everyone "expected this.". Hilarious.
  11. bucksman4
    There may be two schools of thoughts here but nobody can disagree with the fact that we expected much more from the "ace" that we sold the farm for and that he has been far from the dominant pitcher we all thought we were getting.
  12. bucksman4
    Seriously? We still have to hear the "he's still in early season form line?" How long do we keep using that as an excuse for his horrible pitching (K/BB doesn't tell everything, statheads. He's getting rocked). 9 starts in? Look at Marcum's numbers in his first nine starts. Why must people feel they have to keep making excuses for a guy who cost us a heck of a lot to get. At this point, I wish we still had Odorizzi. Greinke hasn't fooled anyone. Early in the year I compared Greinke to Matt Garza. High K total, high ERA guy. Maybe the Royals just fleeced us on the trade.
  13. bucksman4
    I have no idea what will ever convince RR that Loe isn't an 8th inning guy if he hasn't already seen the light.
  14. bucksman4
    I don't know Reed Johnson's career numbers vs. Milwaukee but he sure seems to get big hits against us.
  15. bucksman4
    The guy is in the mid 50s for pitch count going into the inning and then implodes. Why can't games ever just be easy wins?
  16. bucksman4
    Keep walking guys idiot.
  17. bucksman4
    And then walk the next guy on 4 pitches. Sometimes Narvy tries to be too fine out there. Reminds me of Sharpie.
  18. bucksman4
    Hey Casey, we love you as the number 5 hitter!
  19. bucksman4
    You guys do realize he will use the 20+ HR and 100+ RBI production from McGehee in 2010 as a justification for keeping him all year and who knows...maybe even re-signing him in the off-season again. Melvin loves to use dumb statistics from the past and ignore the peripherals sometimes to make certain moves. Super frustrating.
  20. bucksman4
    3 errors by the Brewers infield so far. We're playing like the team that's 10 games under .500
  21. bucksman4
    I saw the pitching matchups in this series and knew we'd be lucky to get 2.

    http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/123865639.html Apparently, Yuni B does not like being told when to take or when to swing. Because GREAT hitters like him know what they're doing up there...
  23. bucksman4
    We all are saying the same thing about his choices in the 8th inning. Now it's time for RR to face the music and have to answer for his managerial decisions that have failed. I know it's easy to say "oh we're in first place, relax," but it's not acceptable to be losing games we should be winning. I have a feeling Tom Haudricourt will put his feet to the fire tonight because he alluded to RR's decision-making being questioned in his blog after the game last night. I look forward to hearing his thoughts.
  24. bucksman4
    I'm feeling a Cubs sweep of us now. They're likely to win tomorrow and I could see Garza shutting us down Thursday. This series is going to hurt. Really bad.
