“This thing may come down to the last couple of days.”
I take back what I said yesterday: fire this moron, before he Yosts the clubhouse beyond repair.
We pull our pants up and do our jobs here.

I don't think you'll ever like a manager.
by Noah Jarosh on Sep 11, 2011 12:54 PM CDT up reply actions
You don't have a problem
with the manager of your team saying: “Yeah, we’re gonna cough this up”?
We pull our pants up and do our jobs here.
I didn't see it, so maybe I'm missing some inflection in his voice.
But if he said what you typed, it sounds more like “Yeah, it’s a possibility the division might not be decided until the last few days” which, of course, it is. He’s not saying it’s a forgone conclusion or that it’s likely. Just that it could happen. Do you expect him to say “Oh, yeah, we’ve got this in the bag”?
Could be worse
We could be the Red Sox choking away their playoff place to the Rays (They are already 3-0 down in the 1st)
Rays finish out the season against the Orioles, Red Sox, the Yankees, the Blue Jays, and the Yankees again.
The Red Sox get the Blue Jays, Rays, Orioles, Yankees, Orioles.
The Rays will have to take care of business in the next series against the Sox, otherwise they’ll have a rough time catching up.
He's kinda been saying that all year
It’s just a stereotypical auto response to the media. Plus saying “We’re gonna cough this up” would cause clubhouse problems and managing the clubhouse is his specialty. So I’m sure he know what he’s doing/saying or he’s just relaying the thoughts of the players.

I think all this team needs is some sort of a break - anything, really.
A seeing-eye RBI single. A bad call that goes their way. An LOLDEFENSE play from the opponent. A line drive with RISP that’s not right at a defender. We haven’t seen anything like that for at least a week.
It can’t stay that way for 14 more games. It just can’t.
With one out and a man on third
The Brewers ripped a line drive to right and launched a fly ball 370 feet. That’s more than enough to score a run 90% of the time, even when your pitcher makes a boneheaded baserunning move.

How can it be only 2-1 and yet feel like they will inevitably lose?
I’ll check in on the scores, but I can’t watch this team play until they start winning again. Ridiculous.

Fielder in particular seems to be pressing too much at the moment
Hopefully his single in the last inning might be the start of a few hits in a row for him.
Otherwise there seems to be alot warning track outs
Lots of warning-track outs
And lots of line drives right at people.
As I mentioned above, the Brewers are 23-35 on line drives over this losing streak. Their opponents are 26-30.

And that is what I've noticed.
They are hitting the pitchers hard, but they are just not falling in. I mean it sucks we are losing, but this is a silver lining in that I think these are the types of hits that will eventually drop in for hits.

I think Fielder is struggling mightily (and I would like to see more people chew him for that). Braun is doing okay, but not enough as he should if he is a star of this team. Put the team on your back bro!
The rest of the team, I think there have been a lot of players who have been hitting the balls hard at people. I think if I were to do a split 35 pitching to 65 struggling. I would like to see your guys splits if you are saying both.

But we tolerate it from each other because we’ve been through and celebrated the good times together, too. So when we get someone who’s only been here for a week and is calling games over when they’re tied, people don’t respond well to that because they don’t know where you’re coming from.

I'm gonna call this a game
Axford will lock this down. he’ll come in even if we get insurance runs
Brewers miss Weeks and get a bit unlucky.
Whenever I get pissy I go looking at numbers. I was hoping to see that with Weeks out, the offense was terrible. It turns out, with Weeks out and Yuni terrible, the offense is terrible. It’s really the danger of the “Stars and Scrubs” approach.
Hart started heating up to his normal self at the plate starting May 9 (His first start was April 27):
Mar 31, 2011 to May 8, 2011 Brewers scored an average of 3.8 runs per game
The Brewers had a full lineup with Weeks, Morgan, Braun, Fielder, Hart until Weeks’ injury:
May 10, 2011 to Jul 27, 2011 = 4.5 R/G
Weeks went down on July 28, Yuni was hot from Jul 18, 2011 to Aug 13, 2011 in Weeks’ absence (for the most part):
Jul 18, 2011 to Aug 13, 2011 = 4.7 R/G
Yuni went back to his old terrible self starting Aug 14, 2011 and the Brewers offense suffered likewise:
Aug 14, 2011 to Sep 10, 2011 = 4.1 R/G
Over the past 7 days, the Brewers hit distribution has been nearly identical to their season averages which means they’ve mostly been the victim of good defense and bad luck.
Season LD% = 19.3%; Last 7 game 19.7%.
Season HR/FB = 11.5%; Last 7 games 9.7%
Season BABIP = .294; Last 7 games .264
They’ve been hitting line drives, but they’ve been falling below season average.
Have the Brewers simply not been clutch? Depends upon what you think. They went 1-for-13 w/RISP against Halladay which was rough. Overall, though we can’t blame it on the Brewers not being clutch, they simply haven’t been hitting.
In September, the Brewers have gone 20-for-84 w/RISP for .238 average. Overall .247 BA during that span.
Since the beginning of the Cardinals series, they’ve been 7-for-34 for a .206 BA w/RISP. Overall .216 BA during that span.
So there’s been a little bad luck, but really they’re just not hitting well lately and that’s likely directly related to missing Weeks and facing some tough pitching. Taken in context, there’s no reason to worry about the rest of the regular season with regard to staying ahead of St. Louis in the NL Central. Their luck will improve and their offense will improve as Weeks gets healthy. The 6 game lead should give enough time for that to happen. It may not happen in time to get back ahead of the Diamondbacks, however, as they have the same puffball schedule down the stretch as the Brewers.
It’s worth noting that the Cardinals latest streak has moved them within 4.5 games of the wild card. There’s a chance, albeit unlikely, that the wild card now comes out of the Central. This would mean the Cardinals play the Phillies in the NLDS and the Brewers play the Diamondbacks with home field advantage in play. In that sense, it makes sense to cheer against the Braves and cheer for the Cardinals – just not so much the Cardinals pass the Brewers.

12 K's is pretty damn good
even if he only lasted 7 innings I think that can be considered more than just good.
how is that not great? haha

The 12 K's makes it great.
You could argue the baserunning error takes it back down to “good”.
I’ll go with it either way.

1/2 game ahead of the Braves for the Wild Card Safety Net
1/2 game behind Arizona to avoid the Phils in the 1st round
Do you bring in Gomez to play the OF?
I am assuming that since Counsell was already brought last inning that RRR will use Gomez aswell with Morgan moving to RF
Yeah.
I would bring in all the defensive replacements.

Gameday has the highlight of Yuni B's spinning defensive play in case you missd it
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
You mean
