8/26/07 Brewers (Bush) at Giants (Lincecum): 3:05 PM CDT

What is it with this staff giving up HR's to guys that have only hit a couple(or none) all season??

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

add rodriguez to the list of catchers that have burned us this year

[jlau20]

It's unreal how many times this has happened. It just doesn't make sense that this has become as regular as it has.

 

Wow.

[Rob]

I'm waiting for a starter to clutch up and grow a pair.

[phatmatt1215]

Time to take Bush out of the game

I really hope that is a joke? The Durham double was not a bad pitch at all, one hard hit ball and suddenly you want him out?

I was just a bit early in my hoping.

Jim Powell:

 

"A stunning turn of events here in the 7th inning."

 

Why am I not all that stunned?

[MoneyballMan]

Pitch count or no pitch count, what is Ned thinking?

 

- SP's have been struggling like hell lately, but he got a nice quality start out of Bush

- We have tomorrow off

- We went and traded 3 prospects for Linebrink exactly for the reason to pitch the 7th inning!

 

I may be moving toward the camp that says Ned may need to go. This is just so demoralizing.

[Rob]

first career homer for rodriguez according to FSN.

[brewdude15]

dreadful...

[Rob]

if we lose remember the 2nd and 3rd with 1 out which resulted in no runs, not the homer to the catcher.

[phatmatt1215]

Come on Shousie.....One more out is all we need.

[phatmatt1215]

Nicely done Shouse!!!!!!

[crewcrazy]

Nice job getting out of it, Shousey. Fielder-Braun-Jenks due up...let's get the lead back.

[brewdude15]

time for Fielder to jack his 40th, and Jenks his 20th.

[DougJones43]

Starter implodes after the 5th inning. Offense can't score after the 3rd inning. Never seen this before...

 

What a shocker.

[thablingster]

It is time for Prince to hit one about 500 feet into the Cove.

[phatmatt1215]

Why does Ned ALWAYS seem to leave a pitcher in 1 inning, or batter, too long; or so it seems to me? I would have taken him out after the 6th.

What bothers me more is that he left Bush in after the homerun to give up a double. If you know Bush struggles late why are you not ready for it in the 7th inning?

This is just an empty chance to rip Ned. 70 pitches into the game, Ned got somebody up as soon as a man reached first, and then you are not going to yank ANYBODY after a big strikeout on a beautiful pitch. Ned didn't make the trade, Doug did, and the reason Bush stayed in as long as he did is BECAUSE the SP have been struggling, why not build some confidence for the Cubs series by letting a starter work out of a problem without pulling him at the first sign of trouble?

Maybe you should let every manager in the league use your crystal ball then.

 

[Ennder]

I don't think any manager in baseball takes Bush out any earlier than Yost did there, SP innings are a commodity you can never get back and bullpen innings are a comodity you are always running out of.

[DougJones43]

scrubs allready winning 1-0

Make that 2-0 and as usual its on a pair of errors by one of the better defensive teams in the NL. Same exact story as the Rockies series where they played flawless ball against us and looked terrible defensively once the Cubs came to town.

 

Don't feel too badly for the Brewers. The Giants have made 3 errors in this game, but the Brewers haven't been able to turn any of them into runs since the 3rd inning. No bad luck here, just bad execution.

[brewdude15]

so much for my Fielder-Jenks prediction. I don't understand why Yost doesn't take Jenks out and put in Dillon, there.

[pebadger]

The Brewers have to win today. Wisconsin native and Brewer fan Steve Stricker finally broke through and won today. When he couldn't quite get it done at the US Open and British Open, the Crew also lost. But today, he won with a late push at the Barclays, so it is preordained that the Brewers do the same. If not, they're just losers.

Their welcome to have it if they want it. It's pretty rusty. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
