Do you even watch baseball?14 of 18 outs go down as K's. Pretty darn good.
106 pitches though in 6 innings. I'd trade some of those K's for lower counts, no?
Taking 2 from the Cubs earns the team a "C" grade... should be able to take 3 from the Cubbies. Scoring 11 runs in 4 games earns an "F" on the offensive side. Won't win against top opponents with that average.

Or you could say they kept it close and made Grienke throw lots of pitches, knowing that LA has poor middle relief.Only when the Packers play.Do you even watch baseball?14 of 18 outs go down as K's. Pretty darn good.

Stole one tonight after Greinke held them.
I agree. RR over managing again.K Rod may save this but I'm going on the record that Gallardo should have been allowed to go out there for the ninth
ETA And Kemp goes yard as I hit "Submit"

Yeah, we'll see. I think Fiers has it. The injuries and his mom dying really messed with him. But if he's focused and keeps pitching like this I think they have a tough decision to make for the remainder of this season and into next, which is a good problem to have.Gotta knock on wood re: Fiers, but he looks awesome. 3 starts, 3 wins, 21 innings, 3 walks, 8 hits, 2 runs.
Rotten Ron isn't good enough to make that decision.KingPrawn said:Roenicke needs to shake up the lineup. They've lost how many in a row now because they can't score and he trots out the same lineup day after day. LuCroy should be hitting third and Braun fifth. Gennet leading off and Gomez (or Para) 2nd
1 run game.
PH used in the 9th with 2 on, 2 out.
Yep. Ryan Braun wasn't needed tonight when you have Jason Rogers.
That was kind of my point, Pack.1 run game.

Ignorance is bliss!
Could have been the greatest Wiliis Reid moment ever. Braun not even at the park comes out of the dugout for a pinch hit double scoring two runs for the go ahead. Braun, limping around the bases, would be relieved for a pinch runner, leaving to a standing ovation. The Brewers go on to win the game and make a dramatic September, October, November run to the World Series title.Mr.Pack said:1 run game.

It's actually pretty comical at this point. While they are technically still sniffing the wild card I really hope this epic collapse continues, just for the entertainment value.
This is sort of true, April they were 19-8 and June they were 18-10, May, July, August and Sept they were 43-58The hot first month covered up a lot of bad play. After that they well well below .500. The only thing that kept them in first place for 150+ days was relatively poor play by both Pittsburgh and St. Louis.
The 2014 A's laugh at the Brewers 'collapse'.Has there ever been a worse collapse from a team? I mean, to be in first place for how many days in one season to all of a sudden be complete garbage? I know there were teams to collapse from an X game lead in the final days of the season and all but were those teams in first place for 150+ days of the season?
If I was a starting pitcher on this team, I'd be pissed off royally. The last 30 games the pitchers have given up like 2.5 runs a game and yet the team is like 8-25 or something. Really? If any team is giving up 2.5 runs a game, they should be 25-8 in that stretch. So sickening.
The 2011 team wouldn't have gotten two games away from the World Series without the Greinke trade.Watching the player introductions for the Kansas City Royals for the American League wildcard game managed by Ned Yost.

Um, Ron, if it was set up for a lefty, then why didn't you bring in the lefty? IdioticPeralta was replaced in the eighth by Broxton, who surrendered a one-out double to Charlie Blackmon. One pitch later Carlos Gonzalez hammered a 92-mph fastball off the lower portion of the scoreboard in right-center field, giving Colorado a 4-2 lead.
Both hitters are left-handed, but Roenicke opted to go with Broxton over lefty Will Smith.
"We talked about it," he said. "Right now we've decided that Broxton's going to be the eighth-inning pitcher. If it changes, we have to have that conversation and match up the seventh and eighth. We have three guys we like there, and maybe we'll try to match it up better.
"But we like Brox. That's not going to happen very often. But no question, it was set up better for a lefty."
