Finally, a good move. It's about time Yost realized Cordero is capable of getting 4 outs. Granted, Ned hasn't let Cordero pitch in about 3 months so now he can be absolutely sure CoCo is fresh and rested.

[DougJones43]

COCO!!

[kgbaseball]

Alright, good.

[gypcasino]

I just pumped my fist several times.

[trwi7]

I can't believe we got Norris Hopper out. Have we ever gotten Norris Hopper out? Oh and if Ned decided to put Nix in LF why didn't he PH Jenkins in the 7th?

[DougJones43]

Too bad it took until Sept. 15th to figure out this is the way to go...

 

Either way, better late than never. Now let's win this freakin' game.

[crewcrazy]

TAKE THAT EVIL NORRIS!

 

Now let's hope they can add a couple insurance runs for CoCo in the bottom of the 8th.

[brewcrewnation]

Thank you Coco!!!!!!!!!!

[adambr2]

Yes, that absolutely was the right decision by Yost, and thankfully, it worked.

 

The wrong decision would have been leaving Turnbow in after 2 walks. Sometimes it's not as much of a crapshoot as people think, where Ned would be criticized no matter what he does. Sometimes it's black and white. After Turnbow walked the 2nd guy, it was black and white.

Well, this'll be the 4th time CoCo pitches for 4 outs, so it has happened before this year. Maybe Ned just forgot that it's allowed instead of not knowing that it's allowed? http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/tongue.gif

Maybe Ned has been trolling our forum and decided to final use the IGT thread suggestions.

[kgbaseball]

The Brewers would be 98 games over 500 if he did.

[DougJones43]

Yeah, it's funny how things go like that. Some people will try and have you believe that it's all up to the players to just "execute" no matter what situation they're put in. Turns out that better decisions are more likely to produce better results. We're not just dealing with a series of random happenstances afterall! Who knew?

[trwi7]

Wow I've never seen J.J. hit a ball that far.

[DougJones43]

J.J.

[brewcrewnation]

Thank you JJ!

[Shootkick1000]

BUS-TED!!!!!

 

J.J. is a beautiful man. But those of you with teenage daughters knew that already.

[jason21nl]

wow, did JJ ever smoke that ball..Huge insurance run

[kgbaseball]

Nice, some breathing room.

[crewcrazy]

Mmmm, insurance runs.

 

How many people would have burst out laughing at the start of the year if you were told that JJ Hardy would have 25 home runs this year?

[biedergb]

Now if we had been playing baseball like this for the past couple of months (shrewd use of bullpen, getting insurance runs, starter getting six strong) we wouldn't be caring about the Cards/Cubs game toinght.

[1992casey]

Well, crewcrazy, I thought J.J. might have been good for 20. I can see where you're coming from, though, given that during J.J.'s rookie season, you went until September without actually seeing a Hardy homer. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[trwi7]

Now would be a good chance to show you should get more playing time, Bill.

If you told me in April that the Brewers would lead the league in HR, have four 20+ youngsters, including Hardy at 25, Braun at 30, and Fielder at 45, I'd assume that we won the division going away.
