2009-06-01 Brewers (Suppan) at Marlins (Miller): 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-4]

[Fear The Chorizo]

I'm not sure why Julio is the bullpen arm to pitch this inning, unless Macha's deadset on keep Suppan from getting win #4

[razzzorsharp]

Julio is not very great.

[PeaveyFury]

No one up in the pen yet?

 

Holy moly.

[phxMILWfan]

Oh my god the bullpen phone isn't working! Strategic move by the Marlins...

[BrewCrewForever]

Julio makes me yearn for the days of David Riske.

[Glennron]

Ned Yost still pulling the strings?

[crewcrazy]

Well, this is certainly an interesting development. Hopefully they can survive this inning with the score at least tied.

[Tailgat0r76]

This inning just reminds me way too much of a Yost game, and I am enraged. Wow am I glad I don't feel like this very often this year (so far)

Oh my god the bullpen phone isn't working! Strategic move by the Marlins...

 

Somebody send smoke signals or something quick!!!

That 8% difference in probability in a round about way is the difference between having Kendall (.299 OBP) batting instead of Cameron (.379 OBP). The difference between a .250 hitter and a .300 hitter is huge, so why wouldn't an 8% more likely to score a run scenario not be?

 

It's .08 runs. If you did that once every game, you'd expect to lose about 1 win over the course of an entire season. Again, with Mcgehee batting, it's even smaller.

In my first season after T-Ball, my Dad was the our coach and he let me pitch in our first game. I plunked the first three kids I faced, though I still blame the third on being distracted by the kid crying on first base. My Dad took me out an I never pitched an inning of organized baseball again in my life.

 

I think my Dad felt roughly like Macha is feeling right now.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

There is only one person on the planet aside from Julio's Mom that would have put him in this situation, unfortunately it's Ken Macha.

[brewdude15]

Fielder'd....

[Fear The Chorizo]

this inning will not end well, i predict

[BrewCrewForever]

And then Prince pulls a Buckner. Nice. This is the first game I truly feel like Yost and not Macha is managing.

[trwi7]

Prince still sucks at defense.

[razzzorsharp]

Fielder error, Julio being Julio, and Cam injured makes this not awesome. Infield hit is the cherry.

[brewdude15]

Oh my word....Hardy'd too. Please Ken, please bring Todd Coffey into this game. Jorge Julio was not a good idea.

[BrewCrewForever]

Okay, please take him out NOW.

 

Julio, DFA!

[ELCABALLO45]

This better be Julio's last game with Milwaukee

[pebadger]

You know, there is a kind of nostalgic feel to this in-game thread now.

[sheethead]

Gotta say it... YOSTED!

[razzzorsharp]

On your way out Julio, if you could please leave your jersey, that would be great.

 

Also, Braun is injured.

[Fear The Chorizo]

ok, so at this point you might as well leave Julio in - Macha pulled the uber move by bringing in Julio preemptively so that the game could get out of hand, and then Julio could get some mop up work in

[BrewCrewForever]

And now Braun is out of the game to. Jeez. This game has turned into a nightmare.
