05/23/2006 Brewers (Eveland) @ Cincinatti (Ramirez) 6:05 PM

The homeplate umpire was giving Clark a hard time about leaning in on an inside pitch (trying to get hit) and Yost came out between innings jawing at the ump.

[PeaveyFury]

I usually don't care about the ejection thing, but and Umpire calling a player "Bush League" is pretty damned Bush League by the Umpire.

 

Total crap, and I'm glad Ned stuck up for his guy.

[djoctagone]

uecker's already saying winkles-ass. i love it.

[JoeH33]

Is it just me, or do umpires really pull the trigger on ejecting people real quick? It seems that every time a player or coach disagrees with anything, they're immediately ejected.

[davemakovec]

Watching on FSN, you could clearly hear Ned drop the F-bomb in the replay, then the field mic immediately goes quiet.

[valpocrewsader]

Boy. Your team's been getting beat up and needs your leadership, you got a young kid on the mound who you need to keep an eye on, and you get yourself ejected in the first inning ... between half innings ... about something as meaningless as the home plate ump's reaction to how Brady leaned into a pitch?

 

Does that make sense? I'm baffled. I want to hear the post-game reaction from Ned today.

[EinhornIsFinkle]

I hate to say this....but here we go again.

[JoeH33]

Ugh, this is already getting real ugly.

 

edit: I guess only giving up one run should be considered a success, considering first inning issues we've had in the past few days.

[PeaveyFury]

Does that make sense?

 

I think it does. You defend your player, and try to fire up the team in the process. Ned picks his spots well, so it's not like he's a hothead that gets ejected every other game.

I couldn't disagree more. Stand up for your players and get them fired up. Hopefully it works...

[hawing]

I can't decide who I'm more sick of seeing, Junior or Brandon.

[valpocrewsader]

I see your guys' point about Ned "sticking up" for a player and "firing up" the team, but I just think he probably blew the situation out of proportion to invent a "fire up" situation. It just didn't feel right. I'd rather have him on the bench tonight.

 

Again, I'll be real interested to hear Ned's comments. Maybe it was 100% warranted.

[PeaveyFury]

Wow is that embarassing. Ear flap facing the wrong way twice.

 

Even more embarassing? Giving up a hit to him....

[COOOOP]

Sigh, the man can't even pick out the right batting helmet in TWO tries, but still can get a hit off our pitching.

[BillScottCanRake]

In spite of the hit given up to the pitcher, nice inning for Eveland...

[JoeH33]

Looks like Eveland's settled down a bit with a nice inning there. Three K's already is a good sign as well.

[JoeH33]

Bases Juiced for the Prince!

[sheetswannabe]

PRINCE WITH A 3 RUN DOUBLE!!!! 3-1 crew!

[JoeH33]

Make that a 3-run double for Prince!

 

3-1 Crew

[wisconsinfan47]

'Attaboy big Prince!

 

Man did we need that.

 

"what's this? the Brewers playing in front before the 7th inning?"-Jim Powell

 

Let's hope Eveland can keep it up.

[COOOOP]

I think I might faint from the shock.

 

We are winning!

[davemakovec]

I was worried that the inning was going to end with Carlos Lee at the plate.

 

It's good that Lee proved me wrong, and that Fielder hit a pretty, pretty double.

 

Hopefully Eveland keeps pitching well and the Brewers keep showing up at the plate.

[AJ Love]

Thank you Prince Fielder!

[JoeH33]

Dana's looking good again so far this inning.

[parkside21]

Hey guys...sorry for the silly question...but...what's the email address to send something "to the booth" for Darron or Bill?
