2007 Vent Thread, Part 2

[ Fans will simply never be happy. ]

 

At the beginning of the season, you'll have fans asking why Yost didn't run out his best relievers for every game. If he did overuse the bullpen, at the end of the season, you'll have fans complaining that Yost overused the bullpen.

 

It's kinda like running this site.... You can never please all of the people all of the time http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Except that there was variety of factors saying Yo should have been pulled.

 

1)His spot in the order was up. No reason to have him hit when you can't really expect to get a full inning out of him anyway (10 pitches seldom gets through an inning).

 

2)After he did walk, he had to wait through a Hart walk and a pitching change, making a nice 20 minute wait without being able to keep his arm warm.

 

3) He was at 93 pitches.

If we don't talk about Yost mismanaging the bullpen, what is there?!?

 

On to my vent......

 

I'm venting that Yost feels compelled to warm up Cordero every single time there's a remote possibility that a save situation could occur.

 

6-2 lead with a man on first and Coco is throwing. Getting up, stretching out, and firing a bunch of pitches is just as stressful on a reliever as actually pitching in the game. Doing that near every night is as good a way to blow him out as actually using him in a game.

 

If a guy gets on, and it's 6-3, there's no reason Wise or Turnbow couldn't get that last out or 2, instead of justifying running Cordero out there every time a statistical chance for a save presents itself.

I could not agree more Ro.

[sheethead]

and "mofo" is a abbreviation for a word that is banned here, making that word banned as well. I know, it's harsh, but that's how we roll...

 

How about meekrab?

Right, if Suppan proves to not be worth his contract, he can just be traded away.

I know that is what I said. If he is playing up to his contract we don't want to trade him and if he isn't playing up to his contract we can't trade him.

You can, but you have to eat some cash.
