9/5/2008: Padres (Geer) at Brewers (Sabathia), 7:05pm CDT

I really don't get it. What in the world is Ned thinking? SERIOUSLY?

[Mr QL]

Yost should be fired.

 

I don't think I even have words to describe what I want to happen to Gagne. What a complete joke of a man.

[trwi7]

The guy has a ERA of 6.61?

 

Ahem, 6.75.

[trwi7]

Well, sure but if you throw out a few bad outings and his ERA is OK. And by a few I mean like all but one or two. (Yes that's supposed to be in blue, but I'm too upset to bother).

I keep typing these things on my keyboard but it doesn't work

[wibadgers23]

With Yost managing and Gagne still pitching in high pressure situations, we will lose our wild card lead by the end of the weekend.

[sheethead]

9-3 game? Throw him a full 9!

7-0 game? Throw him a full 9!

9-1 game? Throw him a full 9!

 

Up 2-1 in the midst of potentially horrific losing streak? Let Gagne protect the 1 run lead. oops, I mean, give up the lead.

 

Yost should be fired. Tonight.

 

Mindboggling, isn't it? How anyone can support Ned Yost and his horrible managing decisions is way beyond my comprehension. Then again, so is trying to comprehend how some people vote.

[MillerParkSouth]

absolutely unbelievable. i am literally shaking i am so angry right now. what the hell ned!??

[InBraunWeTrust]

I went to pick of pizza and decided not to listen to it on the radio. We dodged a bullet here.

 

I literally, LITERALLY, cannot believe that Ned Yost put Gagne in amongst a 4 game losing streak when we were up by one run. It makes ABSOLUTELY no sense.

[ELCABALLO45]

absolutely unbelievable. i am literally shaking i am so angry right now. what the hell ned!??

Me to, I literally am shaking.

 

This makes me want to punch kittens.

[trwi7]

As long as Yost is the manager I'm going to need this keyboard.

[Thwarted By the Thracians]

How many pitches was CC on?

[Mike Felder]

MillerParkSouth, I think there's someone new that needs to be on your avatar.

[trwi7]

How many pitches was CC on?

 

106. But it's okay if he throws 130 in a 9-3 blowout! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

 

 

[thablingster]

At this point it is funny to me, because Ned has been doing this every year he has been here. He has his guys, and he runs them all into the ground until it is completely obvious they can't get the job done.

 

Hopefully someone, anyone, can hit a solo home run because that's what we do best.

[biedergb]

CC was at 106 pitches.

 

What's the over/under for the number of pitches SD has to throw to retire our batters?

[FidoMcCokefiend]

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to just complain as I've lurked here a while in order to try and not be too much of a noob.

 

But, seriously, you can complain all you want about Gagne, but he's done this all year. Is he worth $10M? Of course not. But I don't blame him, I blame the guy that keeps throwing him out there in high pressure situations.

 

I mean, who didn't see this coming?

 

And I will never understand how you trot CC out there past the 7th in a 9-1 game against SF, but you yank him tonight, up 2-1 with a 4 game losing streak and facing Peavy tomorrow.

 

Yost should be fired, he is incompetent beyond belief.

[dlk9s]

I turned on the interwebs radio broadcast at the start of the inning (so yeah, it was probably my fault) to hear the crowd booing Gagne mercilessly before he even threw a pitch. I was about to come here and post how ridiculous that was, but then Gagne actually pitched.

[sheethead]

Unless CC took himself out, Ned Yost should be banned from baseball for life.

 

Edit: let me clarify, Ned is obviously gambling on the CC games. Today he had the Padres, cause he knew his offense wouldnt score any runs against the rookie.

[wibadgers23]

MillerParkSouth, I think there's someone new that needs to be on your avatar.

Yeah, how could Gagne NOT be in his avatar at this point?

[Mike Felder]

Unless CC took himself out, Ned Yost should be banned from baseball for life.

Where's Kenesaw Mountain Landis or Bart Giamatti when you need them?

[And That]

Even if we pull this game out...

[dlk9s]

Hindsight, yes, but I would've had Hart try to steal or have Cameron bunt to get a RISP.

[PeaveyFury]

I literally, LITERALLY, cannot ****ING

 

No swearing, thanks.

[InBraunWeTrust]

There's that vintage DP-the-winning-run-with-0-outs move.
