All of my responses have been about baseball, and pretty rational…

Sorry to bring you in to my battles... I wasn't referencing you. Go Crew!

More stupidity. Not only can you not read, you also can't communicate. 

Sad. 

Just block each other.

 

How do you block someone on here? I need to know for reasons.

Nah it’s just funny how everyone always second guess managerial decisions. At least have the balls to say something before the inning starts 

If you'll go back to page 8 there were indeed posters saying they didn't think it was a good idea.

Seriously? The Brewers haven’t lost more than 4 games all year. It’s one game. Literally one game 

Hey, we got off on the wrong foot. I’m not trying to pick a fight or anything, and when the all caps come out, that’s usually my cue to leave. You’re right, and I’m just talking about one game here, too. I said earlier one game doesn’t make a trend and I mean it. I’m not critically concerned yet. But this one game will look much worse if Devin Williams (a player already coming back from injury this year) has to get shut down again for any stretch of time, or shows signs of overuse down the stretch. I’m a Brewers fan, I have to worry about something—I’d be just as happy as anyone else if this is just a bump in the road, and it probably is. Cheers.

How do you block people again? Sorry for asking, but I don't see it.

The method I use is recognize the poster whose posts you want to ignore and scroll right on by their post. Works wonderfully.

careful ... there are posters here super sensitive if you are not aligned with them stomping around like donkey kong in fury right now.

Unless things have totally changed since the BF days, you've been here long enough to know that this isn't a board that you can just say "you're all a bunch of babies" and have it be cool.

I guarantee 90+ percent of Brewer fans were thinking “get him out of there!” after walking in the 5th run. I know I was. I don’t understand arguing this to death. Murphy blew this one. It’s really ok to admit it.

Hover over our usernames, it should pull up a screen and 'ignore' should be in the bottom right of it.

It's not second guessing when you don't like the move before the guy has thrown his first pitch.

And it's ok to say it and also think that he's obviously done a good job this year. These things are not mutually exclusive.

It’s good for pitchers to be able to work out of jams even if they don’t have their control or best stuff. It’s one game in August and you are all acting like they just lost the playoffs

Thank you! I was looking all over for it lol.

I did say something along those lines to my wife here at home.  I would have rather they started the inning with McGill.

on point with your post, though, I’ll go on record and say that I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that Devin was having some back spasms again tonight.  I hope I’m wrong.

So if a starting pitcher comes into the first inning and walks a couple people should he be pulled? Williams has proven himself time in and time out that he gets out of jams even if he doesn’t have control or his best stuff 

Not understanding any context of anything that went on tonight has to be blissful.

it's all good, i get the confusion with me quoting someone else and saying this but I was referencing someone else who won't leave me alone. this wasn't intended for this post.

Plus you don't burn up you whole bullpen.

I don't have a problem with Devin being allowed to work out of a jam in October. 

I have a problem with Devin being forced to work out of a jam when he's clearly fatigued and overworked pitching in 5 out of the last 6 games when it's clearly affecting him and there are other options available.

Tobias Myers did not have his best control or his best stuff tonight. 

Devin Williams couldn't even find the strike zone. There's a big difference.

He’s had to do it on back to back days.  That’s insane imo.   He should have been pulled at the very least.

We probably need to agree to disagree, I just don’t get the comparison.  He’s not a starter, he’s closing a 2 run lead in the 9th.   He’s just coming off injury and is one week into his season.  He pitched yesterday and was over 25 pitches tonight, his last 4 straight pitches missed badly and looked like he completely lost his command.   All of the factors considered I thought it was obvious he was not going to recover after the walk to make it 5-6.  Just my train of thought…

Just because you can’t find the strike zone doesn’t mean you’re “overworked” some days you just don’t have control

He didn’t miss badly. He was near the edge of the zone on a lot of pitches and wasn’t getting the call. 

[HarveysWBs]

Murphy’s postgame justification on not pulling Devin after 5th run walked in: “Devin still had the chance for the save there, so you don’t want to pull him in that situation.”

If that is his full and honest opinion, I don’t like it at all. You have to have a feel for what is going on. You can’t just say that as long as your closer is in a save situation, he has the ball, full stop.

I choose to believe Murph is smarter than that, and is saying this to cover Devin’s pride and not dog him in public, or just cover his own rear end on the decision. Time will tell.

Dude, it's time to stop now.  You're on an island here, don't allow yourself to drown.
