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

That's right. In your odd little baseball worls, if someone other than Ned was managing the Brewers, they would be up there challenging the Cardinals. If only it were that simple. I guess we better fire Doug Melvin since he can't see that its that simple. Just think of all those WS trophies Attanasio could get his hands on if the BRewers just had a different manager.

I remember a few months ago, Julio Santana was on the top of the world and everyone wanted to trade him for something of value. We should have then. How the mighty have fallen! King Julio! King Julio!

 

Wow, you know your career is in the toilet when Jose Offerman is driving in runs off of you.

[ThePurpleStorm]

If he gets another hit here, you can demote Santana too. There's something wrong with him.

[bucksman4]

You spoke too soon. Santana is Santana once again. A zebra can't change his stripes....

[transplanted brew]

Julio Santana strikes again...

 

Wise? Capallan? Bennett? Couldn't get much worse.

[H0FFY]

i told you all ned's relatives posted here

[Chio151]

I think it's time Mike Adams or Jeff Bennett or Jose Capellan replaced Julio Santana on this roster.

[SeriesFinale]

You guys talk like he asked Jenkins to lay down a bunt with only a man on first and outs already on the board

[scoop53714]

What did ned do correctly? Nothing.

 

1st and 2nd with no outs and he pulls his highest OPS player in Branyan in order to bring in Durro to bunt? Why do that? It makes no sense. Your choices are either...

 

A-Let RB swing away

B-Make RB bunt. The game might go 14 innings. Why lose RB for the remainder?

 

On the road you play for the WIN. That means you dont give up outs in an effort to TIE the game. That is the most basic strategy in Baseball. Ned played for the tie, which is the wrong move. He lost RB for the rest of the game. He allowed Moeller to hit in the clutch. What else could go wrong with that? Not much.

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.

Santana has been one of our most solid relievers all season, and now that he has gone into a little bit of a slump you want to kick him off the team. Give me a break!

 

All these knee jerk reactions going around lately are driving me crazy.

[jvrocksaz]

Interesting to hear everyone's thoughts on what has gone wrong and why, but I place the blame at the feet of Lyle Overbay today... He is our #3 hitter... Brady and Rickie have reached base 7 of 10 times... Lee and Jenkins are mashing... Lyle has gone 1 for 5... That gap he fills between Weeks and Lee has been a sore spot today... This is one reason why we have so many hits and not enough runs to show for it...

 

With that being said, I am looking for a BIG hit from Lyle in the 9th...

[ThePurpleStorm]

You have to play for the big inning. It was almost a lock that the Mets would threaten again this inning. The way runs have been being scored this game from both teams, playing small ball is dumb.

[Panthers own golden eagles]

Let's score some runs

[Weirdos19]

Santana's fastball hasn't been near what it was 6 weeks ago.

 

Either he's tired or hurt. DL him or send him down.

[WV Brew]

Assume the bunt strategy "works". The Mets now have two at bats to our one with the game tied. The Mets bullpen is about matched by the Brewers'. Witness the Mets 8th. You have to play for the win there. Sorry.

oh, you caught me out, what I wrote was an anagram for exactly that

 

I am talking about today's game; ned had brain meltdown... sad really

[Panthers own golden eagles]

Hernandez for the 3rd straight day gotta get him here

[homer]

I can just picture Scoop's face turning fire engine red and steam coming out his ears.

When the Brewers have scored 7 runs and can't win a game, my thoughts immediately turn to the pitching staff.

[Panthers own golden eagles]

H0ffy u say something bad about Ned every game day thread, and half the time one day u said he should've done something and the next day he does that and your blame him for it.

RALLY RALLY PITCHER'S NAME IS SALLY!
