Oh Prince
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
Was in the car last half inning
and Ueck did nothing but heckle the Marlin who let the ball through his legs and talk about how embarrassing it was. Stupid Karma.
No win for Soup
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
This is why you can't carry a scrub like Julio
You’re going to need a 7th pitcher to throw an important inning at some point. Smith or Dillard would’ve been better options here, I don’t think anyone would dispute that except Rambling Al.
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.

I wish this was at Milwaukee so I could hear the boos

Why was the worst pitcher on the team brought in during a 4-2 game?
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
Probably trying to sneak an inning out of him

hope we get the extra caffinated double shot tonight
that dominican roast did not go over well at all
I don't think they can keep him up anymore.
I mean, he can’t possibly throw in another game in which the Brewers are within 5 runs of the lead, right? It’s just flat out managerial suicide to let him ever pitch a meaningful inning again.
what about them?
exceptions don’t make the rules.

Julio
Trying to prove the post that our bullpen is solid wrong tonight
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
julio is the keystone of our bullpen
except our keystone is made of poop.
by sowingwildoats on Jun 1, 2009 8:31 PM CDT up reply actions
Why was Julio in the game?
He should be put in only with a 4+ lead. You have guys for this situation including Coffey and Villa. What a waste of a game . . .
Ring Out Ahoya!
I believe the correct use of julio is when down by 5+ and then use him like the Longhorns use their relievers and make him throw 170 pitches or he blows his arm out, whichever happens first.
by juggernaut400 on Jun 1, 2009 8:35 PM CDT up reply actions
Nice!
Telly telling us that Macha told him the bullpen is the reason the team has done this well. The jinx is off me and on Ken!
You could tell this game was far from over.
Zillion left in scoring position. Then Kenny gets cute. If my option was soup or Julio to eat another inning I sure as fuck would have left soup in. He was rolling along.
...and now that Rock made mention of Coffey's skill not letting inherated runners score
he’ll give up a grand slam.
Someone please tell Ken Macha
That this was the reason that Ned Yost got canned. Because of idiotic moves like that. The bases loaded with nobody out and Macha allows him to let THREE GUYS cross the plate before he decides it’s time to get Julio out of there.
Never mind the fact that you could see that Julio didn’t have any control at all, or confidence, from the minute he stepped into the game.
Come on Macha, I thought you were better than Yost. Pull your head out of your *. It’s obvious when a guy is struggling. WE WERE WINNING. The last time I checked, we’re competing for a division here.
Julio just has more than usual
Except for the four scoreless innings he threw before this appearance which erase anything before them, I guess.

I'm sorry, but that's EXACTLY what Yost did

sorry to say
I kind of agree… I guess it might be Melvin’s fault for having him on the roster… but he should know never to put him in a close game where the brewers are winning
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
i agree
that went a bit over the top dishing. at least now julio is out for good hopefully
Wow.
I guess I don’t have to worry about staying up late for a close game. Here’s hoping the Brewers bench can pull one out of their collective asses tonight. Cheers all!
Good lord
whoever is manning the info in the upper left hand corner has been sleeping all game. I’ve seen pitch counts and number of outs changed and he almost just missed the sixth run.
I'm waiting to see if anyone sees him sitting in the dugout and says...
“oh… you’re still here?”

i came here after julio was already doing damage…so I don’t think it’s me that cursed…
todd coffey is just so good
he knows that if he walks in julio’s runs, he’ll be gone faster
this is kind of exciting
there’s a game in which suppan might actually have been the best pitcher of the night. it’s like i’m living in some kind of bizzaro world!
normally, I don't turn off games
I usually watch until the very end, no matter how many they are down by. But this inning is really testing me. I can’t take much more of this.

IF, and I mean IF, the Brewers can get out of this inning at 7-4
They have a chance. Of course it would help to not have Braun and Cam out of the game. Speaking of which, what’s their statuses?
Cameron is married
Braun is single and, judging by his fashion sense, clearly straight.

Brewers Baseball and other assorted nonsense (mostly the assorted nonsense) at my blog, What's a Tararrel?
Macha didn't realize it was wet until he went to change pitchers
Then he thought maybe it would be a good idea to get the outfielder who fouled a ball off his leg out of the game.
