8/10/05 - Cardinals (Suppan) @ Brewers (Big Ben) - 1:05 CST

Why do we have to be so dumb. This was absolutely the WORST choice Ned could have made. At least Rickie is leading off the next inning but if we don't score there I don't like our chances in the 9th.

[brewers19]

I was thinking that we should've PH Helms/Branyan for Magruder and moved Hall to the outfield.

How the heck do you let the game rest on Mcgruder's shoulders?!?!?!?!? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

Anyone who defends leaving Sheets in to hit for himself doesnt have a leg to stand on...sorry, that was a terrible non-move.

[Chio151]

Can someone argue that Nelson Cruz would be worse than Magruder at this point?

Not over yet. We are only down 1 run!!!!!!

 

I know the offense is not hitting but to say that the game is over is ludicrous.

 

The negativity is killing me

[MoneyballMan]

Now I'm sure they'll add an insurance run or two. Not that they need it with Suppan and/or their bullpen.

[SmartBall]

I love how nobody had any idea what to do before the Sheets move didn't work, but as soon as we failed to score a run, all the people on here make it seem obvious that Yost made the wrong call.

There's no holes in that lack of an argument.

[Bucky Rules]

Yep... I would've preferred to pinch hit for Sheets there. The upside is that I'm pretty confident Ben will keep them at 1 run, while you can't say the same about the pen. We'll see what happens when the Crew bats in the next two innings.

[SeriesFinale]

Did anyone actually see the bunt? It couldn't have been laid down all that great

Hello, you must be new here.

[falloutboy]

We need less complaining and more mojo

[RightFieldCoder]

That's exactly what I was thinking brewers19. Hall to outfield, anyone including my grandma to hit for McOut.

[rluzinski]

I'll say it again. What's teh point of having a dominating pitcher in if you don't score a single run? No pitcher can win with 0 runs. I would trade 2 innings of relief pitching to have a real hitter bat instead of Sheets.

 

Owell.

[nodderman]

Silly move by Ned... Santos and Davis got pulled early when they were due up in the line up this series. This late in the game you need to pinch hit for Sheets.

[shelmark]

Ok I can't watch or listen to the game but let me see if I have this right....We have runners on 1st and 3rd with one out down 1-0 in the 7th inning and we let Sheets hit? He is the worst hitter in the majors followed by Magruder? All because Sheets is dealing? Who cares if he is dealing, if we lose 1-0. Larussa has completely psyched out Yost in this series and Yost can sit and say how they are the Cardinals...blah, blah, blah....look at the lineups for these 3 games and no way we should lose all 3. We have one inning to score cuz we won't hit izzy for sure.

[naivin]

How on earth was any of that the wrong thing to do? You would have what? Pulled Sheets? Had him hit away? What?

 

Great, so you bring Wes Helms in who maybe gets the run in. An uncertainty to begin with, then you have the ever dependable Brewer bullpen working in a tie game. Yippie. You like your chnaces of a win better in that scenario or letting Sheets continue to shut them down and take two more cracks at getting a run in?

 

Keeping Sheets in the game and staying out of the double play was absolutley the right call.

[jakesdaddio]

The Brewers will NOT lose this game. You heard it here first.

[DuluthBrew]

This is gonna piss Yost off, if Ben gives up runs now

Really?? what about those of use who said PH for Sheets BEFORE Hardy was even walked?? Do we get any credit?? Of course not.

[dogs with bees in their mo]

IMO, the unintentional reverse mojo generated by complaining has worked out better than deliberate mojo.

[transplanted brew]

I bet they pinch hit for their pitcher...

[DuluthBrew]

I bet you $5 with 3-1 odds Jakesdaddio

[gbpacker40]

That move is looking worse and worse.
