  7. Answer me this: Why do we have one of the most injured teams in baseball?????? What’s going on with the strength and conditioning coaches and the medical team?????

  12. Hey Chuck, I agree that we need McGill, but we need him to be a 7th inning or eighth inning reliever. Like I said before he blows way too many saves, When he has his saves it's when there's a Nice cushion.

    The problem with the Brewers right now is Pat Murphy overworked all his relievers because he doesn't let his starters go more than 4 to 6 innings. Now all the levers arms are mush and all the pictures are dropping like flies. Yes, it got us in first place and a really good record but now we're going to be like a mass unit heading into the postseason and it's a recipe for disaster!

  13. PS those two bums (Fedde & McGee) could never be allowed to step foot in a game that we have a chance to win ever again!!!!! They aren't good enough for the minors must lets pitching in Major leagues when we're trying to maintain first place! I know that we are thin in the bullpen but there are other options.

    And what the hell was him sending down Patrick. He is 10 times better than either one of them bums that he pitched earlier today! I know Patrick just pitched the other day, but he needed to stay here instead of using these two bums!!!!

  14. mc gill has been dealing with this strain while some were saying he wasn't the guy so there was a reason over his last 3 appearances. baseball is a game of averages and we were getting a lot of breaks during that streak. It is evening out a bit. Churio is on his way back, contreras is heating up. Nobody is really tearing it up as far as phillies and dodgers. Hold off the cubs and get a top 2 seed. that is whats needed and get the guys healthy.. sky isn't falling yet.

  15. In spite of dodging a bullet with Fedde, we still couldn't find a way to win. If not for the defense he would have given up 6 runs. We are good with reclamation, but I don't think our staff can make a silk purse with this sow's ear.

  18. I do think they will get past the injuries!! For all the loss they are still in games!! If it has to happen get the injuries healed up and be ready for the final stretch!!

  19. I don't think people talk enough about the DL hall injury. Murphy's not pushing Ashby in these games because he has no other quality lefty. They need to fix the stupid base running stuff. One thing to be aggressive. Another to have frelick round 3rd and get picked off

  20. Chuck i was a little worried them five o clock energies were making you delusional about this team, few weeks back you were hyping them up like they were the 84 tigers. Glad to see reality is coming back and your starting to see what this team is. They had a run but 40 years of reality is rearing its head.

  24. All teams are on fumes and look at the guys we are relying on, Janses, Mona, Lockridge, and freaking Fedde. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why Sal isn't in the leadoff. Sal is a ignitor with the energy and ball in play we need at the leadoff. Turang energy is that of a surfer lighting up a doobie, while Sal gets it going. We need that energy.

  25. Once again, our running game has completely disappeared. Twice we had lead off doubles and didn't move the runner!! What's happened to our small ball ??

  26. No it's not that The Brewers can't find consistancy. It's the teams they're playing are really getting it together. This is the time of the year that The Brewers need to step the hell up or else…..
