7/27/08 Astros (Wolf) at Brewers (Suppan): 1:05 CDT

[Brewer Fever]

Stunning incompetence on display here.

[RyDogg66]

Im pretty sure even Schroeder is confused as to why Soup is still out there.

[owbc]

I can't even come up with an agrument for why Suppan was in so long.

[Fear The Chorizo]

good lord...i think that platoon starter thing may be solved by giving McClung Suppan's spot in the rotation - that inning could've went better had they simply sent a batting tee up to the plate

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

dear DM... you have a few shopping days left...... find us another starting pitcher

[PeaveyFury]

Mind-numbingly idiotic. Simply astounding, really.

[Yeti73]

I think Mark A needs to talk with Geoff Blum. From all indications, Blum may own the Brewers.

 

It's so annoying how one player (Soup) can take all the mojo out of a team. Yeah, two of those plays should've been outs, but he was getting hammered and couldn't pitch a strike.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

It's innings like that that remind me why Ned drives me crazy.

[cheesecup22]

my girlfriend who does not know baseball knew that suppan should have been taken out there

[crewcrazy]

Getting a run back here would be therapeutic. How about a leadoff HR, Brauny?

[JET15]

I wish Simmons had a cattle prod and he could have zapped Yost to life... maybe he could have saved us from giving up a few of those runs in the never-ending 5th

[ninja33]

wow. that was disgusting. well offense, i hope youve got some more heroics left in you. good start braun.

[wibadgers23]

We can't afford to keep trotting out Jeff Suppan every five days. He's an embarrassment.

[milwaukeesportsfan]

that is unacceptable decision making on Ned Yost's part. He deserves to be fined.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Watch the crew come back to tie the game, only to completely burn the bullpen out in a 15 inning game

[MillerParkSouth]

i'm of the opinion that unless it's the first inning, one pitcher shouldn't be left in long enough to give up 7 freaking runs. come on guys, we can't drop a home series vs Houston before the Cubs come into town!

[PeaveyFury]

I'll bet you Cooper isn't dumb enough to leave Wolf in if he continues to struggle here.....

[Sopranos62]

Why would Yost need to "save the bullpen" with starts by CC and Sheets coming up the next two days? Simply moronic on Ned's part not to take Soup out at any point during that SEVEN run inning.

[ninja33]

suppan is clearly still irritated by his elbow. get him back on the DL so i dont have to watch crap like that again.

[Glennron]

I can't wait to hear Yost's response to reporters asking why Suppan was left in all inning. "He's a veteran, he's dealt with adversity, he's gotten out of jams before."

McClung, Villanueva, Shouse are all available, and the first two can go multiple innings.

[jjfanec]

Suppan went 7 innings and gave up 3 runs last time out. Yeah he had a terrible start but he is not as bad as some are making him out to be

[PeaveyFury]

Hey, Coop is sharp enough to know when to pull the plug!

[ninja33]

hey look, a pitching change. what a novel idea.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Hopefully Cooper returns the favor and leaves Wolf out there to dry and try to get him a win....

 

Nope, he actually has some common sense

[DougJones43]

Why is Wolf being pulled? He hasn't given up 7 runs yet this inning...
