  1. Perfect example of why I want Macha gone just happened in the game. It's bad enough that he's not playing Gamel when we're out of the race. But now he goes and uses Gamel as a pinch hitter to lead off the inning. LaRussa sees this and goes to get lefty Trevor Miller. Macha counters that move by replacing Gamel with Bourgeois. Seriously, you're losing 5-0, you're out of the playoff race and Gamel has no noticeable platoon split. Let him bat, you moron!
  2. You can't be serious. Gamel is finally going to get an at bat, but then LaRussa comes out and brings in Miller and then Gamel is replaced by Bourgeois!?!?! You can't be serious. Gamel is 10x the hitter Bourgeois is with no noticeable platoon split. Macha is infuriating.
  3. The only way I could get on board with having Kendall back is if he takes a 1 year, $1.5M offer as a backup that plays 30-35% of the time.
  4. Brian whining about our injuries. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif
  5. The Cardinals showed great patience against Hoffman. Chances are Franklin McClellan will close out the Brewers on about 7 pitches.
  6. Braun is just a horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible defender. That was quite possibly the dumbest slide I've ever seen.
  7. The pitcher, manager and pitching coach yelling at the umpire about non strike calls is soooo not classy. As Patterson whiffs again.
  8. Well the fact that they aren't playing very much due to Macha's man love of McGehee and trying to raise Hardy's value and that this is the second consecutive game Patterson has started. Now that Corey (the one who doesn't suck) is back, there's no need to Patterson to ever play unless we have like a 20 inning game. He's horrible. Literally one of the worst players in the game and we're starting him. Just think about that. If he was young or a top prospect or something, I'd have more patience, but he's like 30, he's terrible and he's getting the most at bats in the game. That just rubs me and a bunch of other people the wrong way.
  9. I guess if a 26 year old claimed off waivers player in the offseason has a good 300 at bats in his first year with the team, then he gets the job over the 24 year old who is one of the top prospects in the game. It makes total sense if you think about after smacking yourself.
  10. The people who go to the games and have to watch him for one. Second of all, there's no reason for him to play at all. He's the worst position player on our roster, he shouldn't be playing over anybody. And since the Brewers are out of the race, don't you think the fans would rather watch the future? Guys like Gamel and Escobar over scrubs like Patterson?
  11. Smoltz would be a pretty good gamble to take next year if we are still going for it.
  12. After these lineups, Macha deserves to be fired. Worse than any Yost surrender lineup.
  13. Rogers struggling early. Fell behind the first hitter 3-1 but got him to ground out. Then he gave up a bloop, wild pitch, stolen base and now two walks. Bases loaded only one out and Rogers at 18 pitches. Edit: three walks, two hits, two runs and a 30 pitch inning for Rogers.
  14. Just confirmed on the broadcast that Gindl is out for the postseason.
  15. The only way they get cap space next year is if they trade Redd for expirings. With his salary and with so many teams looking for 2010 cap space, that's easier said than done.
  16. Defensive whiz is completely subjective and I completely disagree that Kendall is. Yeah, yeah, he handles the pitching staff well. If that were true, then how come their results are so awful? The things we can measure like CS%, he ranks horribly in. His CS% of 20.6 ranks second to last among qualified catchers behind only Jason Varitek. As far as getting on base about 35% of the time. Yeah, I could buy it if it was 33% of the time, which is where he's at. His wOBA of .287 is ahead of only Kaz Matsui, Emilio Bonifacio and Willy Taveras and his .293 wOBA last year wasn't much better. He's a terrible player at this point in his career and there's really no way other way to say it.
  17. According to the newest rankings, Lopez isn't type A or B. He was A in the last ranking so this one can't be right, can it?
  18. Do we know if Axford is with the team or if he's still on his way to the team?
