4/23/08 Phillies (Hamels) at Brewers (Bush): 7:05 PM CDT

Awesome win. On a side note, Bill said his player of the game was Ned Yost, for "pushing all the right buttons." Are you kidding me? He put in Turnbow, and ...... nothing else, except for making a very stupid move with Bush batting in the 6th. Good button pushing, Ned.

"Ugly save, but we will take it. "

 

He walked a guy. Big deal.

[crewcrazy]

Good teams win some games they're not supposed to win...tonight was definitely a game that they weren't supposed to win with Hamels facing off against Bush and the Brewers having 2 available pitchers in the bullpen.

[cnycerveceros]

That was a fine performance by Turnbow, as good as most of Gagne's saves so far.

[dlk9s]

And lest we forget, Bush did ok. 4 runs in 6 innings ain't too bad against a team like the Phillies.

Especially considering Weeks was spike happy tonight

Way to Go Stetter, he is showing us he belongs

[fondybrewfan]

I think it was a pretty well managed game. I suppose he could have pinch hit with Gallardo or something like that, but that is stretching it. He needed to get as many innings as possible from Bush and he took a chance. Very happy to see Turnbow succeed and Bill Hall still sucks.

[wisconsinfan47]

Ned gets the thumbs up for the time being.

 

Prince, Stetter, and Turnbow, on the other hand, get high fives.

There was really no good option to pinch hit for Bush there anyway.

 

[drezdn]

I worry that Stetter will get sent down just because he has options, but after his initial nerves post-call up he's been incredible.

[RobDeer 45]

Lets Give Ned some props when it is deserved. Also, T-bow, great to have you back. Nobody makes me more nervous but also so excited when he does well. Love it. Great win today, I was on the edge of my car seat for quite awhile.

[cnycerveceros]

I think it was fine to let Bush hit. It was only the 6th inning of a 1 run game, and Hamels' pitch count was creeping up. You figure you'll get to the pen and get some runs when the top of the order comes back around. It worked, and it was off of Hamels' not the pen.

[Blancofan1]

ARam homers in the ninth to give the cubs the lead. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[bbaehman]

RAMIREZ 2 RUN SHOT OFF CORPAS...CUBS LEAD 6-5 IN 9TH

[brewerjamie15]

Turnbow looked awfully good today. That first batter was a huge out: a long AB ending in a K. The walk was from a bogus call. I have not seen him look that good in quite some time.

[fondybrewfan]

Man the Rockies have blown late leads in 3 straight games. Corpas is just getting shelled this year

[brewerjamie15]

Sorry. I meant Turnbow-E.

[drezdn]

That's his fourth blown save this year.

[Lake Geneva Brewer Fan]

That stinks... come on, Rockies!

[Hate those Rodents]

We have someone with four blown saves too...

[drezdn]

True, true... Pot... Kettle and all. There have been a bunch of closers who haven't been effective this year. Then there's Cordero who is at least getting plenty of bench warming opportunities for the Reds.

[Blancofan1]

Scotty Po ties it at six in the bottom of 9

[splitterpfj]

I'm really happy for Turnbow, talk about a guy who needed something positive!

 

Way to go Prince, two bombs off an outstanding lefty!

 

Ned deserves credit, it was a gutsy call to go with Turnbow like that, freshest arm available, or not.

[BrewCrewForever]

What a game! Just got home from a buddies house where we were watching the game. Although Bush gave up some long balls he pitched pretty well I thought. Huge props of course to Prince for those two bombs, Stetter for pitching two great innings and Turnbow for coming in and getting it done. Hopefully it boosts his confidence a bit and he can be a valuable part of this bullpen.
