2010-05-27 Astros (Myers) at Brewers (Bush), 12:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-3, 10 innings]

Catchers dont get hurt in 98% of the games

[davemakovec]

By pinch-hitting (and pulling the pitcher), you're betting on winning it this at-bat. If you're doing that, why not pinch-hit with the back-up catcher?

[trwi7]

Well that was one of the worst decisions ever.

[jjkoestler]

That is horrible. No idea what the hell Macha is thinking.

[BrewCrewForever]

DFA Melvin for not DL'ing Gerut.

[Mr QL]

That was a real zim-zam there

[davego]

this is just dumb.

[rluzinski]

I don't care if Wolf has lucked himself to a couple of hits this year. Saving your backup catcher in extra innigns is just asinine. But all managers do it because they are all ignorant sheep.

[pretendastronaut]

C'mon guys, Wolf has a hitting competition going on with Gallardo. Clearly he was the right call.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

I don't blame BA or Provus (although I didn't hear his call) for the Fielder thing. It sounded good and Fielder pulled a Denard Span holding the bat like it was gone.

Yeah, but Prince didn't have his finger in the air http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

If Jody Gerut can't stand there and try to hit a fly ball, he should be on the DL. Period. Epic fail indeed.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Wow, just wow.

[Tailgat0r76]

Weird little baseball question here: Why is Gomez even on deck here? There is absolutely no way he'll get to hit this inning. Just something that crossed my mind as I'm sitting here fuming about Macha...

I guess Macha disagrees

 

 

[Bombers]

I am lost on why Lucroy didn't get to hit ... Fire Macha. He is clueless.

[RayKingsForemanGrill]

I thought for sure that Gameday was pulling my chain. That actually just happened?!

 

He must be trying to get fired now.

[benji]

Great roster management by the GM on this one. If this is a loss it goes on Melvin. It is not like Jody Gerut is so essential that we cant miss him for 2 weeks.

I think you have to put someone in the on deck circle, he doesnt need a bat though, he could just sit on the ground and watch

 

 

[Mr QL]

dont swing rickie

 

walk off walk

[endaround]

That was so stupid I don't even know what to say

[benji]

MLB rules require a batter on deck at all times

[Bombers]

you know, I thought the same thing. The only thing I could come up with is just to keep the routine ... But I am fuming too.

Someone is required to be on-deck at all times.

[trwi7]

Seriously, if you were going to pinch hit with a pitcher, you might as well have kept Axford in and sent him out for another inning.

[topper09er]

WALK-off please
