7/9/05 Brewers (Sheets) @ Braves (Davies) 6:05 CST sorry

[RoseBowlMtg]

This was my first post and hope for tonight:

 

Come on Brew Crew why not win your last two by great pitching and timely hitting. Sounds simple but....Put it together!

 

Yes, they did it!

I have zero faith in any of our relievers not named Matt WiseMan, I know I can get a little hard on Turnbow, but he has been great lately. Most other teams would give their right arms for production like that at closer (I kind of hope they do, and throw in a left arm or two with him)

[NlGHTWlNG]

I still don't understand why Jorge can't pitch in this situation. He could get some work in atleast.

[H0FFY]

Ned has no idea about managing. He does not realise it involves many, many little decisions... each is important.

 

Here he has a chance to give some struggling reliever some work. But he does not.

 

Now Atlanta will make Wise unavail for tomorrow.

They see Wise more for next game against him

 

Dumb, Ned, dumb. You constantly do dumb things and miss win-win opportunities for your players. You are great rah, rah but strategy dumb, dumb.

[LouisEly]

Since this team is neither great nor terrible, it will be rare that they have a run differential greater than 6 or 7, so if there's a time to use JDLR (or Obie) it's now. I don't understand using Wise when up by 6 or 7. Save him for the close ones.

[NlGHTWlNG]

Yes Ned, please warm up Turnbow. We might need him to close this 7 run game.

[H0FFY]

Way to panic Ned, even your players can smell your fear.

 

You should not have used Wise in the 9th. You should only use Turnbow if they score like 4 or 5 runs. You should calmly trot out your worst reliever then the next one. They will not, cannot give up 7 runs in a nineth.

 

Dont worry, Ned. But your fear is rubbing off on your players. Now I begin to understand why they play scared and choke so much. Ned, be a LEADER.

I've given up caring about De la Rosa getting any work. The coaches have probably decided that they aren't going to use him when it matters and that he can get work in at the Mexican winter league or wherever he goes.

Matt....

 

What in the heck are you doing???

[Jaylyn]

WOW, you could almost smell that was going to happenhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

[tomwopat]

oopsie, wrong url

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Eeesh. That's not going to help Matt Wise's ERA.

[NlGHTWlNG]

you've got to be kidding. Now we actually can use Turnbow. Wow

[lithium75]

Genius...Now I see why Turnbow was up, Now he can get the save by getting only one out with no one on! Amazing that Yost new this would happen. Don't worry, it was all planned.

(yes, all that was sarcasm)

[ja002h]

I'm pretty sure JLDR could have done that.

[H0FFY]

There is no worry about this. But if leave a guy in to 40 pitches, when he should not be there, what do you expect.

 

I am even sure the players are confused by Ned. Confused players do not relax and play well.

 

My new theory about the Brewers: Ned is dazed and confused, and SCARED - and therefore the players are.

[Jaylyn]

Thank you ja002!

[Fike85]

Good God. Why does this team have to make every single game interesting?

[nullbyte]

Here comes Turnbow!

Somebody tell me this is not going to happen!

 

Thank you!!!!

[temke]

boober...nice!

 

they had to make it interesting...how nice!

[Fike85]

The Milwaukee Brewers keep finding ways to make their fans miserable. Yes, we won this game, but they didn't have to scare the dickens out of us in the process!

[H0FFY]

Ned, way to manage a laugher into a panic. You are a joke, Ned.

[Getpaddled]

score?

[nullbyte]

Brewers win, 9-6. If you're already on the web.. what's stopping you from looking at a score page? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
