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

So for the anti-boo people... you still wouldn't boo this performance or decision by Macha if you were in the stands?

 

I don't boo players for not playing well. I don't see the point. I might mutter a few naughty words under my breath, however. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

so much for the best bullpen ERA in the NL.

Yeah but what is their ERA if you take out all of Julio's earned runs? Fantastic. Too bad he had to pitch tonight.

[PrinceEatMeat]

So that's what an out looks like? Interesting.

[phxMILWfan]

21 minutes it took them to get an out this inning.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Marlins had to bat around before they made an out

[pebadger]

Wow, Florida fans are one out away from being disappointed with a five run inning.

[Tailgat0r76]

I'm still on his bandwagon, but man I feel the anger that only Ned could make me feel tonight.

I couldn't have said it better. This is exactly how I feel.

[crewcrazy]

Macha was probably just trying to get Julio some work, since he hadn't pitched since last Tuesday. Granted, a two run game in wet playing conditions likely isn't the best way to get a guy work, but I'm just trying to figure out what he was thinking at this point. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Julio's performance was awful and Macha's decision to bring him in was dumb -- but how does booing help? I just don't get booing your own team unless there is a clear lack of effort.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

This one is partially on Melvin too. There is no way this guy should have been on the team at this point. He should have been DFA'd a month ago, but using him in a close game? Why is it everyone on this board saw this coming and Macha didn't? I just don't get it.

 

I can't get the Brewers feed on Gameday so I'm listening to the Marlins guys...they can't believe we went with Julio either.

[BrewCrewForever]

Thank God for Coffey. That could have been much worse then it was. It was still terrible, but could have been like 10 to 4.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Coffey works his magic again after giving a little scare.

Coffey strikes out the side....yet we're losing by 3 after being up 2.

Please elaborate on that, Brian...

[wOOgiE22]

That is the pitcher that should have started the inning (Coffey)

I guess Macha never had Turnbow to learn from then. If you're going to bring Julio in like that, you yank him before things get out of hand if he's off.

As pebadger said, very nostalgic feel tonight now.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Coffey really found his groove there... wonder if he wasn't really ready coming in.

 

Still not out of it yet.

[crewcrazy]

Well they got out of it only down 3...still within striking distance, even with Braun out of the lineup. Hopefully they can start chipping away with a run this inning.

[jwill535]

A pitcher getting shelled - not a reason to boo, the effort is there

 

Soriano kicking a ball into the corner, walking to it, picking it up, sighing then throwing the ball in - every right to boo

[razzzorsharp]

To be fair Julio had been looking better lately, and Macha wanted to try him in a higher (for Julio at least) leverage situation. It didn't work out and hopefully a lesson was learned.

[trwi7]

The problem is, he wasn't.

Of course we all know that Catalanotto and Gerut will both homer to get us back into the game.

[phxMILWfan]

Actually a nice job by Coffey to get out of that mess only giving up 2 runs.

 

I think the only time booing helps is to make a point to the manager that they are consistantly making the same wrong decision. Sorry I didn't mean to turn this into a to boo or not to boo thread. It was a reactionary comment that I now regret making. It was a rough inning.

[pebadger]

Well, Julio was facing the bottom of the order. I think Macha just didn't believe it would get away from him that quickly and that he would have time to staunch teh bleeding if Julio messed it up. It all just fell apart too quickly, and then the dfense didn't help either.

 

I don't think this is a great rationale, but I think it's the most plausible explanation.

No, but a bloop single will work too.
