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.

Yes, he is horrible. The Brewers are a team I like to watch when the Sox aren't on. Roenki or however you spell it is terrible.

Maybe next year we'll get to see Adam Dunn in CF for the Brewers.

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.

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.

Remember when Soto was on the juice? Man he was good.

Remember that commercial he was in where he talked about hitting .400?

Watching the Cubs right now. Other than the immortal Clayton Kershaw, is their pitcher in the NL 25 and under better than Gallardo? You can't hit this dude when he's not walking guys.

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.

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.

Jurjjens, Tommy Hanson, Jhoulys Chacin, Bumgarner, Latos. Proabably not better but damn there is some sick young pitching

Only guy close on that list is Hanson. But that's a lot of premium young talent right there. 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.

Cueto has been outstanding this year thus far since coming off the DL.

I see some Cubs are wearing T-Shirts that say "f*** the Goat."

Personally, I'd just drink, but if playing for that franchise drives dudes to beastiality, who am I to judge?

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.

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.

His brother has been really fun to watch too...s***, can that man run...

Hawk loves a man who can run.

I'm shocked at how bad Greinke's pitched in the NL so far. I really thought he'd dominate people.

K/BB ratio of 70/9 too

 

Gotta love the big budget battle between Cubs and Yankees with a pitching match-up of Garcia vs Doug Davis.

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.

Didn't people say the exact same thing about him last season?

This should be Freddy's ideal game setting. On the road, hot & humid day game, that's when he usually excels.

Since the A's series, seems like we're going to be facing a lot of teams playing some of their best ball of the year. Twins/Dbacks/Cubs/Nats. Hey Ozzie, do not pitch to Upton in a walkoff situation.
