Why bring in Santana now?

[tomwopat]

?

Santana coming in...its too bad we only have 3 relief pitchers http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

[AJAY]

Would you bring in the closer here? I would consider it.

[JoeH33]

Guillen with a chance to tie it up right here....c'mon Julio get past this guy and we should be golden!

[Ando Calrissian]

interesting move by Yost to go to the pen after Wise gives up the hit. is he demonstrating some recent LaRussa influence following the all-star game?

[WV Brew]

Presumably, Ned feels Santana matches up better with Guillen. They have had luck pounding him in but Wise is not the guy for that.

[PietroSanGiacomo]

If Santana takes a dump here, I predict 3 pages complaining about why Wise was taken out.

[WV Brew]

If Santana walks him, it'll be Bottalico time. (Running away quickly)

There is an article on milwaukeebrewers.com where Ned Yost hints that more transactions may be on the way to help the bullpen.

 

By the way, Houston lost to St. Louis.

[NlGHTWlNG]

Yost really confuses me. He takes Wise out after giving up one hit and with 2 outs in the inning, however sometimes he leaves relievers in for multiple innings. Weird.

[JoeH33]

[if Santana takes a dump here, I predict 3 pages complaining about why Wise was taken out.]

 

Thankfully he got out of it

[endaround]

Santana: 5 HRs in 31.2 innings

 

Wise: 4 HRs in 47 innings

 

Yeah its questionable.

[Ando Calrissian]

well, even though it didn't start out that well, it worked. maybe this may signal a change in his approach towards handling the bullpen. whatever gets the job done i guess. no complaints here if it works.

[WV Brew]

End-

Like I say, the Brewers have been pounding the inside corner against Guillen with success in this series. Ohka and Wise don't have the velocity to pull it off though. Santana does. I presume that's why Santana. Anyway, it worked. Props to Ned on this one.

[BuckyTuba]

wow, 3 hit batters today

[no19no1]

anyone know how many times Geoff has been hit this year?

[AJAY]

Another Brewer gets plunked. Whatever you do, don't go out and fight. We don't need suspensions.

[batman]

Jose Guillen was 0-for-1 with a strikeout against Julio Santana and had yet to face Matt Wise.

 

Clearly, Santana owns him.

I think Carlos should have taken the day off.

 

 

 

JK but not a good at bat. Now exactly good team play there.

[mastershake76]

Wow. Carlos is just not himself. Anyone know how badly Magruder is hurt? Clearly Lee is going to need a day or two off, and the sooner the better.

Maybe he'll actually use them. I'm fine with the guys we have, but Yost needs to stop trying to rely on only Botallico/Santana/Wise. The bullpen as a whole performed much better earlier in the season, when Obermueller, JDLR and Phelps were getting regular work, and the other guys were getting regular rest.

[WV Brew]

I haven't heard but from what I saw, Magruder may well be out a while. He got hit flush on his right elbow.

[endaround]

If Magruder is hurt and will miss any time he should be DL'd right away. Enough of the Brewers going with a 24 man roster, especially to keep a role player from missing "too" many games.

 

EDIT:Where are the Brewers going to get relievers that are better that what Yost currently has? Weak link Phelps is gone. JDLR isn't going away. You have a starting pitching staff giving you 7 innings a game. This shouldn't be that much of a challenge...

[JoeH33]

Alright Turbo lets have a nice 1-2-3 inning, no heart attacks!
