From the SB Nation Brewers Blog: Brew Crew Ball
- “where’s Randy Wolf when we need him? Yeah I know: ‘We glorify the past when the future dries up.'”
- “ERA now DOWN to 19.64 He’s making progress!”
- “The 60’s were a groovy time. I hope he reaches the prohibition era next inning.”
- “His ERA should have been 19.66. That was the year “Wild Thing” was released.”
- “Hooray for poor opposing defense”
- “Reach on an error, out on a TOOTBLAN. Fate will be served, I guess.”
- “Holy shit. this team is dumb as dirt.”
- “I’m begging for this inning to end”
- “It only took 7 ground balls to get out of it”
- “This is going to be one of those games”
- “I think the Cards and Mets switched uniforms”
- “The lack of fundamentals is maddening. Can’t throw strikes, can’t field, can’t help but get thrown out on the bases.”
- “Back from catching a toad that was taunting my dog.”
- “I hope Aoki did that on his own. What a stupid, stupid play.”
- “So true and it might not crack the top 3 worst plays of this game.”
- “If TOOTBLANS were currency we would be the Yankees.”
- “Hey, if you can trade international signing bonus cap dollars, you should be able to trade TOOTBLANS too. We can trade the bullpen and take their best prospects and unwanted TOOTBLANS in return.”
- “DONT DO THAT”
- “Someone needs to rub their noses in it. bad Brewers. Bad.”
- “Are they tanking alreaady? For the top draft pick. Top 3 for sure?”
- “Tanking isn’t just strategically useful. It’s also a damn good time.”
- “Fire the whole coaching staff this team has turned into a joke.”
- “Is Sophia getting worse by the day?”
- “From my favorite Mets blogger, Jason Fry, on Twitter: ‘The Brewers play baseball like somebody’s spazzy nephew mashing buttons on the controller.'”
- “‘Stupid controller, I pressed X!’ Suuuuuuuure you did, Johnny.”
- “You know it’s bad when Mets fans feel ok piling on.”
- “And they really are:
“The Brewers are making baseball look like amateur chainsaw juggling. And as a Met fan, I should know what that looks like.”
“Might be speaking too soon, but how do we get Marlins and Brewers to switch divisions? #FinallyTheMetsMaybeHaveAPatsie”
“Problem seems to be alignment of bases. If they were laid out in linear fashion, Milwaukee might have a contender.”
“The #Brewers led the NL Central in 2011, believe it or not”
“Zack’s pitch count a little high. As must be Brewers’ baserunning coach.”
“Holy mother of God are the Brewers stupid”
“I want anyone freaking out about Wheeler to watch this Hellweg start again and realize it could be worse'”
(Personal side note, those last two quotes used by this commenter are from me (@DailyStache) on Twitter. I’m very proud)
- “Hellweg’s pitched in seven innings in the majors. He’s given up at least two runs in five of them.”
- “not sure how anyone can question whether this team has given up. their focus is completely gone, Roenicke has lost this team”
- “Worst game of the year candidate”
- “there are many candidates”
- “We could trade this game to May for one of May’s 6 wins”
- “Really surprised the booing’s been as tame as it has been since I turned it on. Tough to get upset when you’re not surprised anymore, I guess.’
- “If this is the best effort we can muster then I am turning off the game.”
- “Can’t really blame you. My wife’s going to ask for the remote in a minute, and I’m not going to argue.”
- “Switching up the mood… What is brown and rhymes with snoop?”
- “Juan will swing at anything.”
- “except a 2 strike pitch right down the middle I guess”
- “that’s a typical Brewer inning”
- “It doesn’t matter if we are losing the game. Fundamentals are fundamentals and we simply don’t execute them. It’s not even a matter of luck anymore, it’s just bad baseball. The kind of stuff you work on in spring training.”
- “I hate this team”
