5/3/07 Pirates (Gorzelanny) @ Brewers (Bush): 7:05 PM CDT

[SoCalBrewfan]

The guy hasnt given up a run and we got the Bush looks terrible already. Get a clue.

 

Hmm. Karma can really bite sometimes. Try being nice.

[sundevil1]

Baserunning and and not bringing in relief is going to cost us this game

[wOOgiE22]

Bush can't just give up one run at a time, he has to give up like 4 or 5

[bobskube]

Remember the baserunning...

 

However, I do not disagree with Yost keeping Bush in the game. His only real option being Spurling is not a good option. That is why Capellan needs to get here. I think he has learned his lesson.

[JET15]

Bush was losing his velocity and control from the first batter this inning. Ned should have made the move right then. He got his 6 innings out of him. Why so greedy, Ned? The BP is rested. Cmon

[bobskube]

We are far from done too.

[crossface21]

Once again, I will say I dislike Dave Bush's pitching.

[crewcrazy]

The good news is that the deficit is only two runs and the Bucs' bullpen isn't exactly great.

 

As for Bush not doing well this year, I have to disagree...the amount of good innings outweigh the amount of bad innings so far. If Ned takes him out instead of letting him try to battle through some really horrible innings, I would guess his ERA would be at about 4.50.

[Brewers77]

The same people who wanted a change would complain if sprurling came in so its lose-lose for yost there.

[bthurley19]

We've got 3 innings left here so lots of time.

[DHonks]

I can't say I would have made a pitching change. Bush had dominated all game. Even after the 2nd double, the Pirates had 4 hits, with one being a fister. Then with two swings of the bat, it all changes

[MrAgro]

why won't ned use his pen when he needs it sometimes?

 

i think ned is actually busy posting in this thread.

[Oldcity]

I didn't have a problem with Bush staying in there. He still had a low pitch count, and he came very close to getting out of it with the lead.

[brewcrew00]

On this board it's always a lose/lose for Ned. And if Rickie pops up AGAIN here I'm going to scream.

[brettac1]

The same people who wanted a change would complain if sprurling came in so its lose-lose for yost there.

 

Yet, he created it by wasting Wise yesterday. If he didn't do that, it would be Wise/Turnbow/Cordero and turn out the lights.

[wOOgiE22]

Start to scream, Weeks popped it up again

[brewcrew00]

Crew is still finding ways to win with Rickie and Hall both reeling so far this season.

I'm not so sure about that. When's the last time Wise pitched two straight days? They really baby him.

It's not that you stuck up for Yost, it's the manner in which you did it. You're continually condescending in regards to matters of opinion.

[AdvantageSchneider]

The real point is they need one more reliable BP arm. They can't go the whole season with just Co-co, T-bow and Wise being the go to guys. Season is just too long.

 

I really think that's why they gave Acquino all those chances in the begining of the season. They were hoping he would be the answer, and who knows, he still might be. Or perhaps Capellean. Who knows.

[sundevil1]

That is why Capellan needs to get here. I think he has learned his lesson.

 

I don't think he has laearned his lesson yet. He was interviewed by the Sounds radio announcer and said that he was not sorry for leaving for two days. He thinks that there is a lot of baseball left and those two days would not affect his pitching.

 

Be a man and step up and say sorry. That is all you have to do but instead he makes some stupid comment like this. Do you want to play in the majors? Shut your mouth, say your sorry and maybe we will call you up.

[bobskube]

He did not waste Wise yesterday. It was only 4-0 and he was not going to use our closers yet. If Spurling comes in, you know he has to go to the closers after Spurling. I think using Wise was smart yesterday compared to where he used him earlier in the year when we were up 8.

[crewcrazy]

To be fair to Bush, giving up 4 runs is hardly considered a bad outing for your #4 pitcher. Think the Cards would kill to get that out of their #4 starter?

[MrAgro]

all i can say is that I would not have the juevos to leave a pitcher in there to finish the 7th after he gave up 2 HRs and 4 runs. He would've been out of there after the second HR.

[Oldcity]

Spurling is just bad.
