There's no justification for letting your best reliver rot on the bench so he can compile meaningless saves. Just mindless,"follow the leader" mentality.

Their lineup that inning was Greene, Barfield, Gonzolez. I see plenty of justification not wasting your best pitcher on them.

Now warm up Turnbow.

[bsglorydays]

Hoooo Ahhhhh

 

Great AB Koskie

[JoeH33]

WOOOO HOOOO!!!

[tomwopat]

Corey Koskie is the best baseball player of all time.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Holy crap! Way to go Koskie!!!

 

Come on D-bow!

[Team Canada]

It's Bow time. Get ready for at least 1 walk and 1 hit.

[UeckerAddict]

Ooooooooh Caaanaaaddaaaaa!

 

EDIT: Sorry Canada. Didn't see your post. Thought I was being original.

Uhhhh, move justified?

[rluzinski]

Well Koskie delivers and Turnbow gets to pitch. I am a happy man.

 

3 outs is 3 outs.

 

Except when the save situation doesn't materialize and your best reliever never pitches. Sometimes you need to be a bit flexible, IMO.

[DougJones43]

I really don't understand why this is that big of a deal. Either you have to trust someone to get you to the next inning, or you use Turnbow and then trust that another guy can close it out. 3 outs is 3 outs.

 

personally, i don't see it that way. in a tie game, all it takes is giving up one run and that's it. game over.

 

however, if we hold them with our best pitcher and score a few runs, the guy pitching with the lead now has a little more leeway, and even if he gives up the lead and the opposition ties it, you still have a chance to keep playing and get the win.

[Pointer1VB]

Uhhhh, move justified?

 

No, this bottom of the 10th is "meaningless"

[badgerfan.tgf]

FYI....I don't think I'll be able to watch another game this year if we can't hang on tonight.

I can't wait til the buckethead brigade cuts out cardboard maple leaves to wave when Koskie is at bat.

Nice when you have someone like Kolb to help set things up. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Somehow, this is the most accurate statement of all time.

[GPieters]

2 more boys...2 more...

[Pointer1VB]

With nobody on, Dave Roberts will somehow bunt a two-run homer.

Probably the hottest girl I knowwalked into my room as Lee doubled. So I had to keep glancing at the computer as I stared at her, but I couldn't hold back my happiness.

[GPieters]

FREAKIN' NASTY!!

Are you kidding me? That is like heaven.

Dave Roberts looked like a little boy who lost his glasses.

what about the other day, when DEMARIA was called upon in a tie game to face the heart of the dodgers order, and turnbow was never heard from.

 

it's just a personal preference i guess. i'd like to see the closer used in the crucial late inning situation, save opp. or not. i'd rather count on the less reliable reliever when we might have a couple run lead.

 

looks like saving turnbow is working out well tonight though. i'll be very happy if we get this win.

[Team Canada]

Corey Koskie is the best baseball player of all time.

 

Mr. Turnbow begs to differ.
