does ned think he is managing the bad news bears??

[rluzinski]

Wow, a smart team throws an eye high fastball when ahead of the count and the pitcher up. A stupid manager calls for a suicide sqeeze.

 

Please, someone, DEFEND YOST.

[RoseBowlMtg]

Two quick outs, one more Benny!

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

if your going to call it call it ....call it on the first pitch when the pitcher is going to throw a strike

[keds58]

Ned called it, no doubt, saw the sign myself.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

i still feel carlos is going to bail us out soon with a HR

[Diskono]

there goes my satellite reception

[rwa12]

I'll take the challenge, using the very reasoning we are criticizing him for...no one in their RIGHT MIND tries to squeeze with sheets and 1 out. no SANE person would expect it or play for it...that is totally Ben's poor execution...http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/roll.gif

 

I tried to do it with a straight face

[dogs with bees in their mo]

If Sheets did that on his own.... the post game spread is going to be gone by the time Yost gets back from the clubhouse.

 

If Yost called that bunt... he should be fired before the Sausages race tonight.

 

The runner on 3rd was breaking for the plate, that is why he was doubled off so easily. There is no question that the play was called by Yost.

[rluzinski]

If he can't help his own cause by laying down a bunt, then he doesn't deserve run support.

 

Did you SEE what pitch it was? I friggin eye high fastball. No ONE could bunt that. That's why Arizona pitched it there.

 

Sheesh. Blaming Sheets? Yehhh.

 

And how does Ben call a suicide squeeze/ did I miss the signals he sent?

 

Everyone laughs at Yost, what's new.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

you all need to have positive feelings

[Weirdos19]

The only thing that Ned could've done worse is pinch hit Magruder.

[keds58]

Anyone feel a 10 game skid coming on?

[rluzinski]

Well, the Brewers are going to save the jobs TWO crappy starters in a ROW! That's just wonderful. Yost makes sure to kill any rallys that MIGHT win these games.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

we are going to win tonight

I don't even think Ned could manage us into that over the next 9 games . . . .

 

Everything will be okay. We'll win both series in a row at home.

I dunno, I think that pinch-hitting with Santos could've been worse.

[rluzinski]

You know what really is going to be funny? Yost will blame Sheets:

 

"A major leaguer has to be able to get a bunt down. I'm disappointed in Benny."

 

He's done it before.

[RoseBowlMtg]

I think players appreciate aggressive managing and that is the positive I get out of it.

[Weirdos19]

I stand corrected. Santos would be worse.

[rluzinski]

I think players appreciate MORE winning and feeling they have a good, smart leader.

[keds58]

Wasn't he just complaining about the bunting like two days ago?

[brewers19]

I don't know if 'funny' would be the word I would've chosen. More like sad and pathetic.

Yeah, Jenks looked thrilled when he was doubled off.

[Diskono]

Sheets is starting to get hard...I'm not sure whats going on, but I think you have to pinch hit if he comes up this inning.
