Another walkoff for Hall I guess..

[jdbrew]

stick with your fricken closer Ned... unless you want him to become a headcase. It's HIS game to lose.

[bernieh]

Okay, well, I can't defend Yost for leaving Shouse in to face a switch-hitter/righty. He did lose a lot of cred for that in my book.

 

But my point stands; I bring in Shouse to face Howard in that situation 100 times out of 100.

 

Let's win this game. Billy Hall anyone?

[PeaveyFury]

I absolutely guarantee that even if Turnbow doesn't get Howard there, that he preserves the win.

 

Man alive am I pissed.

 

Apparently everyone except the Brewers' coaching staff knew that Turnbow was the way to go.

[iluvlamp]

TBOW is furious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and he should be. this is asinine

[DuWayne Steurer]

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but why is everyone worried about Turnbow's "head"?

 

Is he a mental case that's going to fall apart at the seams because of this? I'd hope not, he's a grown adult who plays a game at the highest level, and he's out there to get a job done. Right or wrong to take him out, he wasn't getting the job done. I'm more worried about winning than not hurting people's feelings.

[COOOOP]

Please 2cap, just hold em.

Howard: .303 vs RHP, .295 vs LHP

I wouldn't call that considerable.

[PeaveyFury]

And now Capellan?

 

Where in the world are Kolb and Wise?

 

Did we suddenly lose our minds here in the 9th?

[Trowekamp]

THANK GOD!!

Well, I'm glad you aren't the manager. I don't know why you'd take out your best reliever to put in a 37 year old nobody you got off the scrap heap in the middle of the season just to go lefty-lefty.

[COOOOP]

I shall have a shot in 2caps honor for stopping the bleeding.

C'mon Peavey, I agree with you on a lot of stuff, but there is no "guarantees" in this game. None. Not a single one.

[JoeH33]

That was fun.....how about three straight walkoffs

[valpocrewsader]

/me punches wall. That was unreal. Pull Turnbow? When he only needs one more out? And still has a two run lead????

 

"boob" was the right word for Yost there. He sees a lefty coming up and a lightbulb goes off, "I got a guy in the pen who'll make this an automatic out! I don't care the situation!!"

 

Jeepers gall darn friggin holy mother ***** junk burgle flickle great googly moogly....

[JET15]

I picked the wrong day to give up sniffing glue

[Trowekamp]

Whose approval rating is higher right now. GDub or Yost...

[sheetswannabe]

That was a very dumb move, the singles were both ugly and slow so pull the closer with 2 outs?? Put in a LEFTY specialist which is right, but then leave him in for a righty!!??

[iluvlamp]

And of course Bill and Daron Blame the ump.....unreal...I wish we had announcers that were not paid for....I would rather have Stone and Carey.....but we have amos and andy.,...sorry it's true....too much homerism....but I get it..why get fired?.....I am SO PISSED

Actually, Victorino is not a switch hitter.

He is on Yahoooooo

[bucksman4]

Well, what does this do for Turnbow's confidence? You bring in a soft tossing pitcher to retire the best hitters on the Phillies instead of the closer who up until a few days ago has been relatively flawless this year? Sometimes Ned's logic baffles me. Why not continue the trend of 9th inning victories....get some runs!

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Can we put an end to the horrible contrived yost-based team nicknames for a while?

[sheetswannabe]

Show Rhodes the road.

[iluvlamp]

Ned is not Bobby C.

[Paulus88]

I'm as mad as everyone but we should all remeber Bill Hall is due up forth in thsi inninghttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
