Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

Marco Estrada to the 15 day DL, McClendon called back up. sigh.
I concur with your sigh. I was hoping they'd call up someone new. Perralta or Thornburg are the two names I had read.
 
Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

another day, another player to the DL. Izturis with a pulled hammy. Maysonet back up.
 
Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

Ishikawa to the DL with an oblique strain. Conrad back up.

In addition to the many players on the DL, Ramirez was still out after his HBP, Loe is unavailable due to elbow soreness and Kottaras left due to hamstring cramps.
 
Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

Add Lucroy to the list of walking wounded. Kottaras is in, even though he's also hurting.

To summarize, we have on the DL, or playing injured:

2 catchers
2 first basemen
2 shortstops
3 pitchers
1 third baseman

This is not counting Braun and Gomez, neither of whom look 100%.

This would be funny, if it weren't so sad.

Edit: ...and Lucroy goes to the DL because his wife knocked a suitcase onto his hand resulting in a 'boxer's fracture'.

4-6 weeks for Luc. Big frowny face.

A quick review of the <a href="http://stats.nypost.com/mlb/stats.asp?file=inj">DL</a> tells me it would be worse. San Diego has TWELVE players listed.

In happier news, they beat the Dodgers! In unhappier news, Matt Kemp will be back tonight.

as we were all saying (and thinking), obviously the Brewers are going to beat the best team in baseball when they have Mike Fiers on the mound and are using third string players at 3 other positions. :p

Excellent game. And no terror from K-Rod (although Axford had a little bit).
 
Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

3 in a row from LA... in LA. Who is this team?

Greinke and Billingsley tonight. This week has definitely been worth staying up late.
 
Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

Predictably unpredictable. :) Brewers sweep the Dodgers in LA and were 5-2 on the trip. The Dodgers were 21-5 at home going into the series.

Braun was held out of the lineup due to his Achilles issue.

A good series against the Pirates would really help in the standings. Wolf vs. Kevin Correia tonight. The Brewers are probably just heading home from the airport. :p
 
Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

Hey, the Brewers are in third place! Only 6.5 out. Good thing the rest of the division blows as well.

Wolf going against the Cubs today. I don't have a good feeling.

Braun is third in All Star OF voting. I thought there would be more backlash.

Nori!

****, I usually go to weekday games and I didn't go to this one.
 
Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

Interesting Stat on Sports Center this morning: with Bryce Harper going yard for the Nationals last night at Fenway, the only player younger to hit a home run for the visiting team at Fenway is Robin Yount,
 
Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

Greinke goes vs. the Royals tonight. Should be a good one.

4.5 behind the Reds and Pirates, who are tied for first.

K-rud. Yikes, he's been terrible this year. I suppose not pitching with the same regularity as last year probably doesn't help, but at some point we have to consider other options don't we?

Winning some games so K-Rod and Axford got more opportunities would be a better option. ;) I'm not too worried about K-Rod and Axford. They haven't lost it - they just need to pitch more. At least the starting pitching is coming around. Wolf was good again last night.

Estrada, Izturis, and Ishikawa are rehabbing in Nashville this weekend.
 
Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

**** They're finding new ways to lose.

In Axford's defense, he did strike out the guy who scored the tying run...on a 58-foot breaking ball.
 
Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

blaaaaaaaaargh. that is all.
 
Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

Kinda ironic that we lost a couple to Nedly's team in the fashion that his Brewers teams used to lose.
