A 4 pitch walk to Cody Ransom? Seriously?

[Menotti80]

and the brewer killer scott comes up

 

i hope my boy shouse can get an out...

[brewcrewkid14]

Yeah, tonight definitely wasn't Linebrink's best outing as a Brewer. Let's hope it doesn't come back to haunt them.

[rluzinski]

Shouse against a RH batter is not how I would have wanted this to be set up.

[giffted1]

Come on Loretta. Strike out on three pitches. Add to the conspiracy.

[apereira2222]

especially a good contact hitter like loretta, he's the last guy off the Astros bench I want to to face in this situation.

[trwi7]

UGH

[rluzinski]

Yost got the match up he wanted, I guess. Someone NEEDS to tell Yost that Shouse has not been good against righties his whole career. With his side arm delivery, he's a perfect LOOGY and should be used as one.

[JoeH33]

Awesome. It looks like its over in Chicago and we're in the process of blowing this.

[MoneyballMan]

Unbelievable.

[jason21nl]

Yost got the match up he wanted, I guess.

that is being out managed...shouse came in to face Scott. Scott then was PH for with Lo. You would think that a MLB manager would know that the opposition is going to counter.

[trwi7]

Now we get to hear the guys on ESPN gush about how the Astros tied the game.

 

HART!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Ignitor]

We're at a very bad spot in both games right now. Both us and Cincy have had opportunity blown after opportunity. Just can't afford this garbage tonight.

[bucks2281]

Hart Attack baby.

[MoneyballMan]

Why the hell was Shouse in facing a RH hitter? Don't we have about 42 RP out there in the bullpen right now? What happened to his role as a "situational lefty"? Geez

[Menotti80]

texas roadhouse MVB baby!

[trwi7]

Well it looks like we're getting Yosted by Mackanin too since he did the exact same thing as Yost.

Yost figured it would be too much of a pain in the butt to walk back out to the mound again.

 

[endaround]

Linebrink was pulled for Shouse. Cooper lifted Scott for Loretta. Shouse has to face Loretta. Cooper understands the rule, Yost never seems to grasp it.

[trwi7]

Wow Dunn caught that.

[rluzinski]

Awesome. It looks like its over in Chicago and we're in the process of blowing this.

 

Well, Dunn just caught a call that was ruled a trap and a runner scores. Ouch.

[bucks2281]

Wow, the Brewers reeeally need to win this game. However, a road sweep may be physically impossible.

[biedergb]

"Yost figured it would be too much of a pain in the butt to walk back out to the mound again. "

 

I don't think you can remove a pitcher without him throwing a pitch except if there's an injury

[trwi7]

Waaaah but the Brewers get all the breaks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

No, Yost just thinks Shouse is a great reliever. The same thing happened last year... until Shouse blew up.
