We would be undefeated if only a committee of posters from this forum could have managed every game.

Sorry but this time your are wrong unless Devin was hurt or unavailable.

If he was available then this one is really bad management. Like even high school and little league coaches would not make this mistake.

Koenig pitched like he had arm problems. 

After this one....he might.

I’m so sick of Murphy’s in-game managerial decisions, especially when it comes to pitchers ( and lineups).

Truly the worst managed game of the season……no excuses 

IDK, pitching Williams against the Cards a few weeks ago and leaving him in there until he gave up the lead was mind numbingly stupid too.

[markedman5]

He managed this game like he was making it up as he went along…….just truly bizarre……if you aren’t going to use him in a save situation then for ***** sake don’t get him up!

[yourout]

In New York.....Stearns is saying.....*** Murphy?

Maybe Murph threw the game to hurt the Mets chances? 😉

Murphy made so many bad moves tonight that tonight easily clears that game.

[Pugger]

I can't see the post game show so I hope one of you fellas post and tell us what Murphy's excuse was to not bring in Willuams.

[willie key]

And the braves are winning right now.    I mean.   What the actual $&@@.    It’s infinitely better to get the bye than to play this Arizona team in round one

The only one thing I can think of is that the Phillys are next and Murphy thought Koenig could do it but he sure was wrong.

If Williams was available there might be a few Vets in the club house grumbling behind the scene.

The young guys will not make waves but some of the older Vets might.

[markedman5]

And how many pen guys won’t be available tomorrow now?

Ross, Ashby, Koenig, Megill…….?

[Joseph Zarr]

No excuses. I have to go back and review my pre-game post routine. I think I took it for granted today. Went through the motions. I'll go back and review the post and come back stronger. Fresher. Renewed. No excuses. I can't let Murf say my words for me. I have to be my own man.

This is ridiculous.

Ross, Ashby, Koenig, Megill, potentially Devin because he warmed up 2 different times.

Come on.     There have been two games that the relievers looked dead on their feet.    It was plain to see 

heck I would have been fine pitching the worse pitcher in the pen at this point.   He was dead out there

It's totally right and fair to second-guess the manager, especially right now; I really don't get letting Koenig pitch.  But this business about Murphy being unable to manage a game (etc.) is juvenile nonsense.

[willie key]

And if Williams was t available then Payamps should have pitched another inning after throwing 5 pitches.   
 

just leave a pitcher out there to get mauled.   It’s like he just decided to punish Koenig for something

It's supposed to be.

How can someone who has spent his entire life managing (in some role) 1000s of baseball games consistently make boneheaded decisions on a regular basis? 

Someone please answer this question for me.

That's all well and good but then why even get him warmed up? Either put him in the game or sit him down.

There is a reason that despite all of the Brewers successes he was not hired by anyone else. If he didn't get this job he probably doesn't ever manage a big league game. It's not a coincidence. 

[willie key]

I don’t understand giving a game away with 13 games left.   You haven’t clinched yet.   You have a chance to get a bye

 

it was like it was some game in April

Bell apparently is Barry Bonds against us……..

He has been pretty good for them since they got them in the trade for basically nothing.

Is there ever been a division winning manager that got let go in the off-season?
