Yost played for the tie, yes. Had it worked, we would have had a tie ballgame with the top of the order in the 9th. I think he made the right move. All of you second guessers wouldn't last a second trying to make the decisions that Yost has to make during the ballgame, I'm thankful he doesn't listen to your advise before making his decision.

ned, if you tie the game, they have six outs, you have three, it does not make sense ned... it does not make sense

When you take a look at the suckfest that the Mets bullpen is, it makes perfect sense. If either one of those gusy gets a hit, you are tied and there is still a man on base.

 

It doesn't make sense to a second guesser such as yourself because it didn't work. Two on nobody out, and a stikout prone lefty coming up against a lefty, it was absolutely a good call.

Espn.com is telling me Santana is pitching, that can't be right not the same Santana who walked in the winning run two days ago.

[ThePurpleStorm]

*sigh* Here's Piazza "again" with guys on. And WOW! Julio is the one who let it get to this.

[Weirdos19]

No. I wanna see Branyan and Helms instead of Helms and Moeller. Period. Miller could have hit for Moeller if he wasn't the last player on the bench.

[DuluthBrew]

The last time Branyon tried to bunt, he broke his finger

[scoop53714]

Neds move was 100% wrong. It was wrong on multiple levels. It wont matter now though since Santana is completly useless and we will be down 3 or 4 going into the 9th.

it's raining in nyc

I congratulate our players for only losing by one (so far) in a game where their manager has made enough managing 101 errors that an entire remedial class could be based on it.

 

He set the batters up to fail or only get close.

He left his best relief pitchers in the pen.

He left a distraught, and possibly hurt pitcher in until he gave up seven walks and walked away the lead.

 

Congrats players... you are top notch. Hang in there. You have just played through Ned's lowest moment, and you almost won.

[Kraft4a3]

Don't play for a tie on the road. Ned makes this mistake every time.

 

I would agree with you if it wasn't the bottom of the order.

[ThePurpleStorm]

"Yes, and if Moeller came through with a base hit right there (as hard as it would be to picture...) and Jenks scored, then everyone in here would be saying how great of a move Ned made. Sometimes things go your way and other times, they don't."

 

Nope. Called it as a bad call right away.

[endaround]

Yes sometimes they do go your way. But why take the lower probability and hope to score? Especially since Helms was available.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

your kidding me. we got piazza to k...there is a god

[naivin]

If he doesn't get out of this, is it safe to assume this will be the last time we see ol' Julio?

[Weirdos19]

I actually heard the catchers mitt pop when Julio threw that last pitch.

[bucksman4]

Julio Santana shouldn't even be in AAA....he should be pumping someone's gas somewhere in Latin America. He's the type of player that gets coaches fired. He's on the roster and so they feel compelled to throw him out there no matter how many games he blows. They're almost asking to lose when they throw this guy out there. I can't stand watching him pitch...thank God this game is not televised.

We want to be winners, but we are just a bunch of whiners.

Ah no smartguy.......I for one was ******** before durro bunted. Its the WRONG MOVE. It was a waste. Ned blew it and that was apparent BEFORE the inning unfolded. He screwed up.

[bsglorydays]

Suddenly the Brewers don't have anybody that can throw a strike?

[Panthers own golden eagles]

All you guys whine about is not being able to score runs in situations like that, 1st and 2nd and ned does the thing that will make us score runs in that position and we get even more whining.

[Panthers own golden eagles]

I'm pretty sure thats 6 strikes in two batters for Santana

[endaround]

Santana is a fine reliever if not overworked. He's been overworked. He's a one inning guy. Thats it. Bottalico was similar. But they were worked everyday because the Brewers carried three one inning guys while having 3 long relief that never pitched.

[strawbossisevil]

It was the RIGHT move. With the top of the order coming up in the ninth, you play for a tie in the 8th and win it against their crappy bullpen in the ninth. I read your post about not liking it. So let's imagine they left Branyan in and he strikes out like normal. Then we score NONE.

[H0FFY]

if you tie the game, they have six outs, you have three, it does not make sense ned... it does not make sense

How much can I disagree. If we get the lead we have wise to come in... instead we get our ....fest - santana

[bsglorydays]

It was absolutely the right move. 2nd and 3rd with only 1 out. A base hit generally scores both runners.

 

Play for the big inning and quite possibly no runs would have scored (depending on what the hitter in Durro's spot would have done).
