Go Astros!

[Fatter than Joey]

Wait you CAN pinch-run slower runners, for faster ones?

 

Ned must have skipped that chapter in the Book.

[pretendastronaut]

How does Tbow get left in there that long? Ugh.

[afeter]

NED -- get the stinking -- MEMO t-bow puts on 2 guys get him the asd gjbv'adgn

adfhnj out. You stupid moron

[billyhallfan]

toolivebrew, add another one to the "Yosted" count.

[rluzinski]

This is why I prefer games like Monday's. If the Brewers are going to lose, I'd rather they just get it over with.

 

Good thing Turnbow (and Linebrink for that matter) pitched in that 5 run game yesterday.

And that really is a big part of the problem. You can't play every game like it's a playoff game or else you over use the the good part of your bullpen.

[fondybrewfan]

This is incredible, extremely poor managing

[trwi7]

Jesus Yosted in the 8th. Oh NOW you're going to pull him you moron AFTER he gives up 3 runs.

[RyDogg66]

Hey, give Ned credit, he got Turnbow out of there as soon as 3 runs had scored.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

The guy is gassed. There has to be a better option with a day off tomorrow.

[Trowekamp]

ned has been out managed once again. If tbow is walking guys, you need to get him Ned. we have been down this road before...WILL YOU FREAKING LEARN!

 

You can go back and check that last inning I said my move would be to bring in Cordero for 2 today.. so I wasn't a fan of the move to T-Bow. That said Turnbow is the second best option at this point so you can't really put it on Yost for the player sucking... It is not like Yost went to Spurling..

 

Similar point with the Hall situation.. not like Yost kept Stocker in there over PH Gross...

 

These weren't bad moves, just ones the players failed at..

[ELCABALLO45]

and that is the ball game folks.

[Glennron]

I stayed away for a while, but glad to see it's still Ned's fault Turnbow can't throw strikes.

 

Or because he kept him in after the back-to-back walks when he clearly didn't have much control today.

[Samurai Bucky]

What's that? Is it a fork? Yup. Stick it in 'em.

 

Wait... we are being too critical!

[Fatter than Joey]

Apparently Tbow doesn't have it today

[RyDogg66]

MLB.com is touting Yost for manager of the Year. Maybe he isnt as bad as we think.

[Team Canada]

Sigh. I'm out. Yost needs to look at Turnbow's workload chart everyone once in a while.

[billyhallfan]

You can complain all you want about Yost, this is on T-BLOW. Didn't get the job done.

 

yes, but this is not the first time where he needs to pull t-bow because he is not finding the strike zone, it is not rocket science, if he is walking guys, he should be taken out.

[crewcrazy]

Well, the catcher scores from first. Wow.

 

Turnbow just didn't have it today...LaRoche pretty much bailed out Turnbow to start the inning, and no one after that chased Derrick's breaking pitch. His fastball was missing the corners and he was missing high with just about everything, and that's how Phelps bounced that one off the wall.

[Eddiehitsthefoulpole]

I don't know how to find these stats, but it seems to me that Derrick generally does struggle when pitching on consecutive. He seems to be much sharper when pitching after a day off.

[biedergb]

I usually haven't been on the blame Ned bandwagon, and I'm not watching the game (seeing updates on internet), but his moves have backfired -- well except for taking out Bush after 4. No pinch running with Stocker. No pinch hitting with our best lefty (in terms of contact) Gross. Now T-blow for a 4th trip in 5 games, which is not good.

 

Looking at splits, T-bow is good wtih bases empty, and Linebrink is good wtih runners on, maybe we morph them into one reliever, let Tbow start, and once someone gets on bring in Linebrink.

[jwill535]

Why isnt someone up and warming everytime T-Bow is in the game? Doesnt pretty much every manager since the this game has been played have a guy warming up just in case. Turnbow should have been out after two walks.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Need a little help here Astronaunts! Thought for a few minutes we might get over the hump and win a series in PNC. Guess not.

[jason21nl]

i know this might not go over well with some. but even i could have managed this game better. I'm not a pat myself on the back guy, but I'm going to do it. I was calling out every damn move yost should have made. now would they have worked? maybe not but it would have put the brewers in better position to win. YOU SUCK YOST!.

[mastershake76]

And now that the house has burned down, here comes Ned with a fire extinguisher. Thanks!
