2010-05-15 Phillies (Blanton) at Brewers (Narveson), 3:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose 10-6]

[RightFieldCoder]

Everyone act shocked when Narveson doesn't look good next outong.

[trwi7]

Oh, now you decide to take him out after 130 pitches, the most by an MLB pitcher this year.

[giffted1]

130 pitches for Narveson. Unbelievable.

[brains and braun]

Why in the heck was Narvy allowed to throw 130 pitches right there? Please don't say bullpen.

[markedman5]

Macha was kind of caught between a rock and a hard place. Pitcher leading off the inning and a short bench made shorter by Edmunds going out.

 

He tried to push CN for 1 more inning and got burned.

 

As with most of Macha's decisions it didn't work out well.

[trwi7]

I'm just glad there's another Brewers board that I can swear on. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

When your ace pitcher is pitching in game 7 of the World Series, you got to ride him as long as you can.

 

O... wait.

Not really he could have just double switched put Inglett in RF not like there is a difference between Inglett and Hart.

Just stopped in to see the reactions to 130 pitches. Now I'm going to dinner.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

In watching Narveson, he's been very solid but seems to tire around 80 pitches. I'm sure he can get deeper into games over time. Today seems quite ridiculous. I know Macha is worried about the pen, but we did just have a day off and it was a one run game. Why not throw Trevor out there...at least he's fresh! Just don't get it.

[derflotr]

Well either Narveson wears and gives up the runs or he brings in a new guy to give up the runs. Either way Macha loses. Crappy team.

[bacon06]

Thanks a lot Dusty Macha. Way to screw up our most consistent starter so far.

[brains and braun]

Markedman, that holds no water with me. His pitch count was high enough prior to the inning started for it to be a bad idea. What's more important, winning this game, or not having Narveson's arm fall off?

[joepepsi]

I want a manager who plays to win the game at hand.

[trwi7]

There you go Escy.

[rluzinski]

Are you serious? That is incredibly shortsighted. There are 162 games in the year.

 

Escobar!

[brains and braun]

Joepepsi, you can have Ken Macha. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who thinks that 130 pitches is a good idea.

Please tell me this was supposed to be in blue.

[davemakovec]

Mark Grace, for all his idiotic blathering, had a very good point about Narveson: the stat line looks ugly, but he pitched a heck of a game. He had to get what sure felt like twelve outs in the first two innings, and but for a ball Fielder should have had (Utley's double that bounced under his glove) and Zaun's error, he would not have tired so soon. Nine Ks, too.

[NievesNoNO]

All I have to say is BOOOOOOOOO. 130 pitches is fine if your going for a shutout and it's the ninth. Although, if you're throwing well you probably don't need 130. Probably won't make a difference in the game one way or another but thats just flat out stupid. If you don't have guys in your bullpen you can trust then get some new guys in there, tired or not!! Guess I had more to say than I thought. BOOOOOOO!!!

[brains and braun]

Claudio Vargas = FAIL

[BrewCrewForever]

Its' getting to a point where it is funny. How can this team be this bad in their home park. Oof.

[stalton]

On that note, I get to go to an art gallery opening now that's featuring one of my friends. Both brewer runs have scored when I've been away from the TV, so heres hoping.

I'm afraid it's time for Soup. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Brewers keep the game close for 6 innings and then BOOM! The 7th inning comes and the bullpen wets the bed. This is getting old.
