Can we fire this clown and hire a bum off the street?

[sheetswannabe]

Stetter is amazing.... What just happened to FSNs audio? hah

[TooLiveBrew]

Rock is traveling between dimensions!

[Brewer Fever]

That's a new low for him. I'm in shock right now. There is no acceptable explanation for that manuever.

[Glennron]

Clearly Yost can predict the future and knew Stetter would do that.

 

Anyone else get an alien Bill Schroeder there for a second?

[JJHardy7]

Stetter! Atta boy.

[TerraceReserved]

Everytime I get annoyed by Yost bashing, he does something stupid like this to justify it once more.

[SeriesFinale]

I wish Schroeder would let this "lack of bench players" thing go

[chuckiehacks]

Wow, Bill & Brian in full Yost apologist mode.

[JET15]

Yost had Biush bat so Stetter didn't have face one RH hitter....

 

How many times have we seen that from Yost? Frustrating

[endaround]

I mean pinch hitting a lefty against Hamels is by no means a guaranteed hit, but I like the odds of Counsell or Gwynn getting on base more than Bush.

Let Yovani hit he does have the most power

[Brewer Fever]

Putting this into words so I can see it written with my own eyes...

 

He's doesn't pinch hit for his pitcher in a 1-run game with the tying run on base, then proceeds to take that pitcher out after facing one batter in the next half inning.

 

WOW.

[brewcrewkid14]

I don't really understand why Yost did that, but it did save a pinch hitter for possibly later in the game which might help. It's almost like in the bottom of the sixth he wasn't sure if he wanted to try to win the game, and then in the top of the seventh he decided he wanted to give it a shot.

 

I'm doubtful about whether or not Counsell or Gwynn would have extended that inning so I'm not going to get all worked up about it. If Bush doesn't give up a leadoff double and gets through the inning unscathed, then the move doesn't look as bad.

[JJHardy7]

There really shouldn't be Yost managing bashing at all. Whether it's Melvin or Yost there shouldn't be 14 pitchers on the team. That's making Yost's decisions that much more difficult. This is a joke. Put Sheets on the DL and what we lose? One start? Sheets is the problem or the Brewers lack of addressing the injury properly. Sheets on the DL ASAP please.

[SeriesFinale]

Milwaukee has gotta be the only place on Earth left where the Wave during crucial game moments isn't considered embarassing.

I'm pretty sure he didn't pinch hit Bush because he didn't want to use his cashed bullpen. That's fine if you don't pinch hit for him, but then let him stay in for longer than ONE batter. In this instance I think the "bashing" is warranted.

True, but what's amazing is that Ned managed to burn out 13-14 arms. That's quite a feat.

Camera selection has been perfect or nearly so.

[JET15]

Howard with the weak sauce swing

[JrDave2304]

I'm starting to really like what I'm seeing from Stetter.

[SeriesFinale]

I was talking about the sound

[JJHardy7]

Stetter needs to stay up if possible. He's a good pitcher and a good guy.

[Glennron]

True, but what's amazing is that Ned managed to burn out 13-14 arms. That's quite a feat.

In Ned's defense, they've been in like 34 extra inning games the last two weeks. I definitely haven't always agreed with some of his bullpen decisions so far, but if you're going into 10 or 12 innings a few times in a week, it's going to take its toll regardless of who is managing.

[adambr2]

At this point, we can't really afford to send Stetter down again.

[sheetswannabe]

Ned didnt burn out 13-14 arms.....4 of those players are starters who couldnt pitch.... Stetter pitched 1 batter...so it was really 8 pitchers..... Still a huge feat
