6/6/08 Brewers (Sheets) at Rockies (Jimenez): 8:05 PM CDT

[HurricaneBraun]

Unbelievable

 

just pathetic

 

Yost, I hate you.

[jhart05]

Villy was not PH for.

[Sheets4theHOF]

i guess this is why sheets wants to pinch 9 innings every time out.

 

what is it about road games? is it really that different?

[steve267268]

Well... this is the Brewers on the road... had us fooled the first 7 innings...

[Mr QL]

6 game win streak or not, Yost should still be fired. Pathetic.

 

I seriously just want to bash his skull in.

[JET15]

I agree with Rock on that slide. That was bull

[SeriesFinale]

No clue how Ned always comes up. What did he do here? We have done the same things all year. Rested bullpen so our 8th inning guy comes in. Now Shouse gets lit. Has nothing at all to do with Ned. Get over it already people.

Yeah, rested bullpen and Mota clearly didn't have it, so why not have someone warmed up before Helton? Why is Kapler still there late with a slim lead?

Sure, the Rox look good this inning but these things are his job.

 

Anyway, this is one of the more grating losses of the year regardless of who's at fault

[jason21nl]

and of course people will defend yost no matter how horrible he is

Villy should have pitched the 8th. No brainer. Ned loves sticking to his "8th inning guy" plan. To bad the 8th inning guy is not reliable.

[Schlitz001]

It really irks me when the Rockies announcers can manage the Brewers bullpen better than Ned. Surprised? Maybe not, but bothered.

That's great.

 

[wOOgiE22]

you guys forget he wanted to save villy for tomorrows game. you know you always have to manage for tomorrow http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tired.gif

[1992casey]

No problem. Just out of curiosity why is that an issue?

You're taken more seriously.

We're going to tighten that up from a "try to" to a "don't." http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Also, see this recent AOL-speak thread.

[jhart05]

You guys are upset with Yost because he put in Mota for Villy, right?

 

Or for not putting Cameron out there?

 

Or both?

 

 

I'm not saying you should or shouldn't be, I just want to be clear.

[orca1963]

and of course people will defend yost no matter how horrible he is

 

Yost wasn't pitching or fielding and this team has proven it can do both the past few weeks. Now they need to get it done with the bats. There was no glaring bad move by Yost in this. What he did made sense.

[Bernman23]

I don't care if Cameron would have caught that ball or if Rickie should have caught that ball.. Those were hard hit line drives. Every single hit was hit very hard.

So if not one extreme, then the other? They are professionals. Fact was Rickie was easily in position to make a catch a middle schooler should make. Kapler should have made at least 1 of the 2 catches on balls that were hit in his direction. There is such thing as sharing blame.

[SZBrewerFan]

If I am the Brewer's starter tomorrow, Mr. Baker is getting one in his ear hole for that slide into Weeks. That was horrendous.

[Mr QL]

And the Cubs will undoubtedly win too.

 

Almost tricked me into thinking we had turned it around.

[sheethead]

Ned just might be the only MLB manager that would let a reliever blow a 3 run lead in the 8th before taking him out. Mota didn't even retire a batter. Ned is a horrible manager, bar none.

[steve267268]

We did not get Yosted. We got Motad and we got Shoused. It doesn't matter who you put in there, they should be able to get guys out and at the very least maintain a 3 run lead...

[Brawndo the Thirst Mutilat]

The only thing I'll say (and many of you probably know how much I'd like Ned gone) is that it is a very good bet that whoever they replaced him with would be just as stupid about bullpen roles. 7th inning guy, 8th inning guy, closer -- it's an irresistably rising tide of idiocy.

[jhart05]

We're going to tighten that up from a "try to" to a "don't."

You know what bothers me.

 

The use of they're, their, and there.

 

I don't know why, it shouldn't, for some reason it does.

[Brewer Killa]

Yeah, rested bullpen and Mota clearly didn't have it, so why not have someone warmed up before Helton? Why is Kapler still there late with a slim lead?

 

Can't believe you said this about BF.net number one guy. If he gets taken out Ned gets ripped for that. I am not defending Ned. I am simply saying that complaining about Ned tonight is simply being pissed off and looking for a reason. Come up with something new. Like maybe a player messed up and couldn't get outs. It's not like he put in Defelice. It works and it was the right move but not of course everybody has the right answer. Give me a break.

Ouch, and I am 44. A bit humilating.

[Brewer Fever]

Someone says they have no clue why Ned is brought up. Really? Because like he's done so many times in the past, he uses more arms than he needs to. With every extra pitcher you use, you increase the odds of finding one who isn't on his game that night. Especially in a park where pitchers often have a hard time getting break on their pitches. Villanueva was filthy in the 7th and had an easy inning. No reason on Earth that he shouldn't be back out there in the 8th. Ned was set to use 4 pitchers in a ballgame than in which we had given up 1 run. That's just stupid. Decision making like this is why they don't put winning streaks like this one up very often. And it's why this one is coming to an end. I started cussing the moment I saw Villanueva no longer on the mound and my cussing reached levels never seen before in my household as the inning went on. I've never been more PO'd at Yost.
