fathom Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I see the Brewers continue to have an idiot for a manager. Playing Kotsay in CF, and then not walking Aramis with a base open? I feel sorry for Milwaukee fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roenki or however you spell it is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or attempting a suicide squeeze with your pitcher, who also happens to be a decent hitter, who then proceeds to rope a double down the line immediately after you cost yourself a baserunner on 3rd when the squeeze didn't work I was at the game last night, when the wind blows in, you might as well be playing in Petco. There were several bombs that should have been homers but got knocked down as normal flyouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I just like how Milwaukee has Kotsay batting in front of Braun/Fielder (while Morgan's been great for them), and then has a batter that's 4 for his last 45 batting behind those two studs. And yes, the squeeze play was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, it took 4 batters for the Cubs to tie it. Really Milwaukee, Marco Estrada is your 8th inning man? Where's Hawkins and his .59 ERA? I'm not sure Roenicke isn't on the take this series.

fathom Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Fascinating blog entry on Roenicke. Brewers fans are going nuts about him. No excuse for his failure as manager tonight. I couldn't imagine the meltdown on here if Ozzie brought in Tony Pena in a 4-1 game in the 8th when his set-up man was good to go. http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/123792549.html Edited June 15, 2011 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rockies actually have another guy by the name of Juan Nicasio who was killin' it last night against the Padres. 9 Ks in 6 IP. Consistently poppin' his FB at 94-95 MPH to go along with a nasty lookin' slider. The Rockies have owned Latin America of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, if the Brewers win the division, I guarantee Roenicke is a leading candidate for NL Manager of the Year, no matter how many awful decisions he may make.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Brewers up 8-4 now in the 8th. So good to see that it appears Rickie Weeks has overcome his injury woes. Really fun player to watch. Might be the best 2B in the NL with Utley more injury prone and older now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a .360 BABIP, which is probably due to the fact he's allowed 27% line drives. In a way, that should mean he's serving up a lot of bad pitches, but his K/BB ratio and his FIP say way otherwise. His FIP this year is only .2 higher than the year he won Cy Young. That ERA of his will come down eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Ozzie, do not pitch to Upton in a walkoff situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
