That looked foul to me....Ned needs to really be arguing. But...he gives up.

If he argues too much and gets thrown out of the game, how would this team function?

 

[davego]

This is starting to feel like @ Colorado last August...

[ewizabeff]

Note how the guy with the ball is not celebrating....b/c he knows it will then be obvious that his team just got a gift run from the ump.

[1992casey]

I sure couldn't tell. I need a TV screen that's about twice the size.

[lcbj68c]

I have no problem with the PH, just not dillon, as it was proven last night he could not come through when needing a PH, how about a fly ball hitter like Rivera?

[craigharmann]

I liked how Ned gave his token argument, then put his head down and trudged back to the dugout.

[davego]

Back up catcher isn't allowed to PH. Ned says.

[craigharmann]

Back up catcher isn't allowed to PH. Ned says.

The backup catcher doesn't even get assigned an inning.

 

[ewizabeff]

I heard Rivera can play in the ninth if Kendall signs a pre-game waiver and the wind is blowing less than 11 mph

And the outside temperature is 89.9 or more and the moon is in the waxing phase.

Very few if any managers will ever pinch hit there backup catcher unless there is no other options, especially this early in the game. It not something you plan on, but if you do use Rivera, what happens if Kendell does get injured.

 

Try again please

[ewizabeff]

if the moon is waxing, previous conditions are amended - wind must be from the NE

[TooLiveBrew]

Funny how the people who posted before the Dillon AB agreed it was the right move....and the critical comments came after the AB.

 

I still think it was a good decision.

[craigharmann]

DLR sighting....bring him in and give us a gift.

[BrewCrewForever]

What a joke of a game. I'm just starting to finally realize that this team will not win on the road. No matter how great they play in Miller Park they go on the road and just lose it.

[ewizabeff]

hey everyone - Braun just walked.

[lcbj68c]

And the Milwaukee river crest is no more than 5'

[rluzinski]

Probably....the roles are Villy 7th inning, Mota 8th inning, Torres 9th inning. Not sure about Shouse or Dillard. But we know the rest of the roles.

 

I wish Villy had the 3+ inning roll. It would have been nice to pull Bush in the first for a pinch hitter and just let Villy go.

[Bruce Ciskie]

"Hey, Ned. Why didn't you argue that call more vehemently?"

 

"I knew it was wrong, but my team needs me to not get thrown out of the game. I'm their guy."

[BrewCrewForever]

Tons of weak ground balls hit today.

[ewizabeff]

gotta go check on the water in my basement....

[lcbj68c]

Tons of weak ground balls hit today.

Using the humidor is cheating

[wOOgiE22]

Man after seeing Counsell at the top of the order today, I am not going to complain about Rickie there again!

[1992casey]

Is the humidor setting part of the scouting report?

[craigharmann]

Agreed wholeheartedly. But when you combine not a lot of consistency from the bullpen and a manager who doesn't use the bullpen well, you've got the mess we've got right now.
