Brewers vs. Buccos Series

1B Blake Lalli

Why not keep Yuni at 1 and give Bianchi the start at 2nd? I really don't understand Ronald at all.

Even when he does something right by giving Weeks a day off, he manages to make me scratch my head.

Three out of four would be a good momentum swing back our way...LORD knows we need to get things going.

GO CREW!

Hey, Bianchi and Gonzalez are scrubs, so....

Basically with AJ leading the NL in K's and K's per 9 innings, you put in another LH bat.

Lalli had some good glove work today. But lost at the plate.

Brewers play the Pirates like the Cardinals play the Brewers.

Pretty much Bong

Tough to explain but the Brewers seem to have their number. Too bad we can't play them more often

It is another (marathon)season.
One win does not a series win make.

Tuesday Lineup:

RF Norichika Aoki
SS Jean Segura
LF Ryan Braun
3B Aramis Ramirez
CF Carlos Gomez
1B Yuniesky Betancourt
2B Rickie Weeks
C Martin Maldonado
P Kyle Lohse

I've stared at it for five minutes and can't find anything to complain about.

Go Crew!

Progress!

It's a nice luxery to be able to drop Weeks in the lineup and not suffer at the top. They have two truly effective 1 and 2 hitters. The lineup has finally outgrown Weeks at the top.

With Ramirez back and Hart also by the end of the month, I like what I am seeing.

Should Segura be in the 3 or 4 hole?

All those balls to the track make Segura's HR that more impressive.

I love that Greinke trade!

3-1 Good guys after 5 at PNC

I was going to point out that the day off did Weeks some good, but then he forgot how to catch fly balls.

Shocking

Axford ****s things up again

Why is this putz still on the team

he's really Turnbowed his game around

Lohse won't be sending him an Xmas card

Grilli is pitching out of his mind this year

damn, Figaro has a nice live arm.

BTW, Where did we get him?

braun with a highlite catch, very nice.

Another loss directly related to John Axford

At what point do you say enough is enough?

Brewers up to their old tricks again (losing that is)

This team sucks right now

Retweet from beat writer Todd Rosiak just a few minutes ago:

RT @MikeVassallo13 : C/1B Blake Lalli has been optioned to Triple-A @nashvillesounds . RHP Francisco Rodriguez to be selected from Nashville …

There goes $2M!!! At least we get a $2M whipping boy in place of our $5M whipping boy!

And with last night's loss, the Brewers have sole possession of last place.

KRod oh joy

For all the good that Doug Melvin has done I really have to wonder about this move. It's literally feast or famine in his tenure with relief guys.

Actually, the Ax wasn't too bad on Tuesday night.

Walker led off with a jam job, duck snort single to the opposite field.

He struck out Alvarez.

Martin got a Double but Segura's relay throw would have had Walker at home but he air-mailed his throw high and down the 1st baseline clear to the screen. Ax's pitch was perfectly placed where Maldy was sitting up. If Martin had let the pitch go, Maldy wouldn't have had to even move his mitt. The problem was that Maldy set up middle in on the plate, instead of wanting the pitch to be above Martin's hands.

Ax then got Barmes to ground out to 3rd and then struck out Snider to end the inning.

Should have 2 hits in the inning with ZERO runs.

I would buy that, if that inning was an anomaly.

Maybe it was an anomaly, no one hit a home run.

Ax is a good guy and I want to cheer for him. He throws perfect heat for a closer and has been effective in the past. The problem is he is wearing Parra's glove, hat and shoes when he pitches. Until he gets right, he is a liability and should not be used in high leverage situations.

With the starters getting abused lately which is wearing out the pen, I don't think Ron had much of a choice but to use Ax in that situation.

Hiram pitches like a rookie

Gonzalez fields 1B like a rookie.

you all have a good summer. see you all in March.


next up Packers minicamp

OK,see you WP

Sure seems like a typical pre-Mark Anntanasio season. The team underperforms and is out of it by Memorial Day.



There is still time to turn things around but this is looking more and more like a lost season.

what a bunch of Debbie downers, this team is ripe for a hot streak.

Right?

Cards this weekend?

Perfect storm?

Slumpbusters in St.L.?

Cripes and here I thought they won last night. I checked my little DirecTV scoreboard thingamajob and it said they won 4-1!

probably shouldn't read with your head up your ass either
