passed ball scores 2 for AZ with 2 outs late in the game to lose it.
lucroy. 2 strikeouts and a passed ball
Lohse looked solid and we were without Braun and Ramirez but this team
looks like hot garbage to start the year. could be a rough season

Versatility lands Prince in big leagues
“With ‘Ramie’ out and uncertainly on [left fielder Ryan Braun, sidelined by a stiff neck], we needed somebody who could cover you both ways,” assistant general manager Gord Ash said.
Prince fit that bill. He was originally a shortstop but was moved last season to the Double-A Huntsville outfield. A scorching-hot Arizona Fall League (Prince batted .404 with 14 RBIs and 10 stolen bases in 25 games) earned him a spot on Milwaukee’s 40-man roster.
When he was optioned to Nashville in March, the Brewers talked to Prince about playing all over — second base, third base, shortstop and all three outfield positions.
“It’s being in the right place at the right time,” Prince said of his unexpected promotion. “I’m a very religious guy, so I believe everything happens for a reason.”
In my opinion, we had enough SS/CF guys on the roster, so he probably would not be my first choice. Cut Yuni then, bring in someone to play first.
I guess the last guy named Prince did ok.

former cubs are worse (still getting over Aram)
Brewers pitching seems pretty comfy giving up home runs so far
Yuni is everything that is wrong with this team.
(Weeks was hosed on that error, even Prince would have scooped up that hop)

This team coming out of the gate is just plain terrible. Ya, Ya we have injuries but this eam is exposed early. The pitching staff is atrocious. So much for rebuilding the bull pen....No ledge jumping or anything but this better turn around soon or we may dig ourselves a hole we can't get out of....
Another crap outing by the starting pitcher
Five games so far and only one quality start by the guy people were questioning if we should sign
This team is a total mess

Melvin still can't put together a decent pitching staff!!
If Melvin could trade to get Manny Parra back, we might have a shot at the first pick in the draft.
Looked for a minute there Yuni was going to be our full time shortstop again.
And now it's 2-0 Rattlesnakes.

Okay, Gerrardo Parra just about took out Segura for the season on a hard slide. This team needs a pulse and Roenicke needs to order Yovanni to throw at Parra next time he's up. There's about a 5% chance of that actually happening but it would be the right thing to do according to that unknown thing called baseball's unwritten rules.
And 
favorite Brewer ties it up with 2 RBI on his bobblehead day.
Aoki gets thrown out at second on a play that never should happen. Aoki you gotta see the ball through the infield. And I agree on the Parra thing. Roenicke, are you going to stand up for your players?
Guys, I gotta tell you if Yuni doesnt bobble that ball this would not have happened. It made Segura a sitting duck. Watch it again.
lol, bases loaded no outs
2 pitches later were done with nothing across

You are correct. He left Segura exposed. I'm still surprised that no one from Arizona has been hit with all the home runs the Pitchers have given up. Then again it's like batting practice pitching.
Nothing can go right with this team it seems
Bases loaded and no outs and they get nothing. What are the odds of that happening?

Yuni is the reason this season is going like it is.
We need to cut him yesterday.

Ax need to see nothing but low leverage situations for a few weeks. He also needs to drop one or two fastballs behind the hitter by 3 or 4 feet until guys aren't planting thier feet so well against him.

Don't go home yet folks, they're still alive.
Axford needs to go away period
He's had a part directly in 3 of their losses and they have only played 6 damn games

Can't remember a game where each team had bases loaded, no outs, and failed to score a run.
Weeks- your AB in the 8th bothered me most. 3-0 count and you fly out weekly. Didn't like your AB in the 11th, but you were called out on an obvious ball.
I don't know if Ax comes out for a second inning with a deeper bench. If Braun could hit and Jean stays in the game, I don't know if we see him.
Yuni needs to be cut. He hung Segura out to dry. I don't have a problem with Parra's play per se, but he should have taken a ball in the ear hole at some point.
Speaking of Parra, how often do you see a ball go over Gomez's head?

Don't forget about the bonehead plays by Aoki and Schaefer misjudging plays in the outfield as well that lead to runs. They weren't "easy" but plays most competent guys make.
Yuni pisses off as well but I consider that a given and not worth much discussion. Classic that Segura gets hurt because that suckass can't make a play.

Agree with Bong too on the Parra nonsense
What a wuss move by the team not to drill his ass because he deserved it but given how the year has started off it's par for the course

1-5 on the opening homestand doesnt inspire much confidence, and the lone win came in extra innings after a blown save.
at least the cubs are next

And after Opening Day I saw a lot of empty seats. That is not a good thing.
curious who lost more cash by not taking an extension, McGeehee or Axford?
time to chase history, we can do this!
2003 Detriot Tigers winning % = .265
2013 Milwaukee Brewers winning % = .167

Through last night's game, attendance was down 50K as compared to 2012. Almost 38,000 today--must have been there for Aoki's bobblehead.
