Don't even have to unblock to know the season is ruined.

BAWK!

Note to RR.  Stop putting Wang into the game unless you are intending to throw in the towel.

Okay, who had May 19th in the pool?

Nice of RR to give the Braves closer some rest. 

Me miss you a wang time.

Wang now has an ERA of over 17.00...what the hell did RR think would happen when he put this guy in the game?  His ERA was 12 coming into tonight and it went up!

 

I get that he has a great arm, but he can't pitch...yet.  Pittsburgh can have him back.

 

We can't give games away and RR hand one on a platter to the Braves tonight.

 

We'll bounce back tomorrow with Yo.

Not much choice.. Be pissed at Melvin for handcuffing him with this roster.

 This.

He has to be tipping pitches. No one gets shelled like that without tipping pitches.

jeff suppan

No, but I mean to get popped bang bang bang like that? They had like 4 runs before he retired a batter.

It has to be something like tipping pitches...

Very interesting that they even used Wang in that spot much less seemingly having O ready for mop-up (no way they are like, "hey" who wants to pitch?". Pen must be taxed or sick or something. Can't wait to hear the post game presser. Not like we will learn anything...

they have had him thru a spring and now a handful of outings. want him or not? make a decision...

Perhaps Wang can clear waivers and be put on the Brewers Practice Squad?

That could be the plan.  Have him pitch like crap so that he will clear waivers.  BRILLIANT.

Two Wangs don't make one Clyde Wright.

Staying in the negative mode--Jeff Bianchi is the biggest weak tit hitter the Brewers have had since Rick Auerbach.

The best part is that Wang is number 7 in team player payroll at $5M / year.

bases loaded base hit to left field.  I get that two runs score, but both of the other guys advance right in front of the play?  That is horrible defensive awareness on the part of the Crew. 

going to go with the "Ben Sheets rules" for Overbay.  He can just go up and bunt every time from now on. 

As quickly as the magic came, so has the brutality. This sucks....but it's a long season, a long season. I keep having to tell myself that.

Yeah you knew the losing steak  was coming. Drop series to lowly dbacks and Cubs

and now Braves. Cards are re on our heels, gotta turn this back around 

Hey RR, using Smith tonight?  Smith last night in the 9th in a one run game and Wang tonight down by five seems to make more sense....

#Brewers RHP Yovani Gallardo has a sprained left ankle. Day to day. Next start uncertain.

6-1.

 

Can't piss this one away.

Lohse dealing.

I have it figured out now.  Whenever I don't tune in on MLB audio, they play great. Computer off the rest of the season.  Sorry Ueck.

Lohse da man BK!

I enjoy listening to the Atlanta radio guys

yeah their radio guys are very good. Sutton and Caray , iirc

Ueck is actually off this week so we get the excruciating Joe Block for 9 full innings. I do appreciate adding Daryl Hamilton instead of Davey Nelson to the mix. Just move Lepay over to radio now. Loved him subbing for BA.

I'm not a Braves fan, but I listen to them all the time.

 

I wish Powell would return and take over for Ueck when the time comes, but he's a southern boy.

Going to the game tonight. Let's hope Garza gets out of the first without throwing 35 pitches.

I listen on XM all the time, some home guys are simply intolerable to listen to.  The cardinal booth is particularly bad.  They had a lot of nice things to say about Gomez, and I think they were genuinely entertained by the way he plays the game. 

 

I was also drinking some wheat beer and he Crew was ahead, that might have played into it.

[Braun] says that recently Gomez informed him, while holding a plate full of kiwi, that the fruit had three times as much potassium as bananas. “I asked him how he heard it,” Braun says. “He told me, now that he’s wealthy, he’s been Googling rich-people conversation so he know what to talk to wealthy people about, and he came across that data.”

That strikes me as quite odd. I would think that wouldn't believe he plays the game the "right way." Maybe they just realized they have had guys admire their home runs for years now.
