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

Ok so what are we at about 2 for the last 50 with RISP? It wouldn't be so bad but in some of these games we are getting 10-12 hits but none with RISP. I am sure some will say it is a statistical anomaly but I don't know, I think it is in their heads right now and they are choking.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Get him out of the game - otherwise there's absolutely no point to having a twelve man pitching staff!

[DougJones43]

What in the heck is going on here? Sending Suppan back out there? Somebody hit Yost over the head and drag him into the dugout.

But we won 8 straight games, so Ned is fine! Stop complaining. Blah, blah, blah...

 

People really shouldn't be fooled by that winning streak. Ned Yost is still a stupid, stupid man. I still believe he will ultimately cost the team a playoff spot.

[BrewCrewForever]

If Suppan wasn't making the kind of money he is, McClung and Bush would both be in this rotation.

[brains and braun]

Maybe Ned wants to pitch Soup til his arm falls off so that he can't hurt us in the future, and we can justify adding another arm.

[Sopranos62]

Did the bullpen phone break?

[PeaveyFury]

Did Ned only have 15 cups of Coffee this morning and is falling asleep as a result?

[Sopranos62]

Haudricourt, "And, unbelievably, Suppan is back out to pitch the sixth. You figure it out. I can't."

[crewcrazy]

Where the heck was that last inning, Suppan?

[jjfanec]

Looks like Ned and Sweet Lou are on the same page. Marquis has given up 6 through 5 and is out there in the 6th.

[wibadgers23]

It's going to be a great day when I don't have to look at Suppan's face anymore.

"Looks like Ned and Sweet Lou are on the same page. Marquis has given up 6 through 5 and is out there in the 6th. "

 

The Cub bullpen did have to pitch 7 innings yesterday, and Marmol/Howry have been used a ton since the all star break...not really the same situation

[BrewCrewForever]

Come on boys lets get some runs. Braun can't do it by himself.

[Glennron]

I wish he would save Branyan for when there are guys on base. Wouldn't this be the perfect time for a Counsell pinch hit appearance?

good point. I forgot about yesterday's game for the Cubs

 

[Sopranos62]

Wow, Carlos Lee has NO range. I'm glad the Stros payed him and not us!

[Fear The Chorizo]

I really wonder if Yost has decided today that all moves he makes or doesn't make today will be exact opposite of what conventional baseball knowledge tells him to do

[JET15]

I don't get it, why didn't Cooper leave Wolf in long enough to piss the game away? Doesn't he know how to manage? If only he had gotten Bobby Cox doughnuts.

There should be warnings at the top of posts like this. I nearly had my drink come out of my nose.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

JJ with a big two out hit...awesome

[obobo55]

Well he got a hit, but why burn Branyan in that spot? No one on, why not hit Durham there and save the Muscle for a chance to tie later in the game?

 

WTG JJ!

 

C'mon Braun...

[markedman5]

As Rock said....."If you don't pitch Mcclung in this game when do you?"

 

I hope somebody asks Ned that question after the game.

 

I mean what are you saving him for? He hasn't pitched in 6 days and we have CC and Ben going to the next 2 days!!!!

 

The more I think about it the madder I get.

[Glennron]

Is it possible for anyone to dislike Lance Berkman? I don't think I've ever seen him not talk to/laugh with any runner at first base.

[Brewer Fever]

There's a very good chance that this game is at the very minimum tied right now if anyone with half a clue was managing this team today.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

rock also said that he thinks ned might be saving the bullpen for the cub series..... with cc and sheets starting game 1 and game 2 ? exactly how much of the bullpen do you think we will use with the two of them pitching ?

[brains and braun]

Now McClung is in?!? I want to feed Ned to a bear, only I don't believe in cruelty to animals.
