[sheethead]

Good Lord Stetter pulled a rabbit out of his hat on that line drive!

[Pedro]

Aren't I supposed to be having fun during a pennant race?

Well, if swearing at Yost on the TV is fun, then I guess I am...

[thablingster]

These kids are doing everything they can to bail the water out of Ned's sinking ship of management, but win or lose Ned has made some of the most head scratching (albeit predictable) decisions of the year in this game.

 

I wish Prince could hit a 10 run HR here. lol

[pitchleague]

well, got out of it. Extras folks. Make it count!

[rluzinski]

I don't care what happens in the top of the 10th, you have to use your best reliever to face the top of the order in extras. I know managers don't but gosh, it's a no brainer.

[giffted1]

Wow. Well, this'll remove whoever's left on the Ned Yost bandwagon. And I say this being remarkably neutral (for this site) on the topic.

Not yet.

[MoneyballMan]

Aquino is ready for the 10th!

Nothing would surprise me

[Brewtacular]

Joe Winkleass is on his way to the ballpark if this thing goes to the 11th. No fear!

[EdgarDiazRocks]

Aquino is ready for the 10th!

and save seth mcclung?

that's not how ned rolls.

[Mike Felder]

Crap...he hit that hard.

did you just use the word gosh?

[trwi7]

Wouldn't Cappy here be a good idea if he's not going to use Cordero? I mean if Sheets can't go wouldn't you rather use Vargas on normal rest?

[Trowekamp]

Let's face it.. any bullpen move right now that isn't Cordero is like picking the best food at a KFC buffet two hours after they stopped serving.. nothing will sit well so be definition all moves that don't involve Cordero are horrible...

 

With that said there is not way the following players aren't in the lineup every single inning of every single game until Spring Training:

 

Hart

Hardy

Braun

Fielder

 

Maybe Ned thought this was Little League and you could double substitute.

[MoneyballMan]

No kidding. I'm about to trash this hotel room.

[pitchleague]

just missed, Princey! DArn it!

[PeaveyFury]

No problem kg.... we tend to limit the abbreviations too.

[hurricanecrush]

I honestly have no idea what Ned Yost thinks during a game.

 

"

Oh, those Golden Grahams.

Oh, those Golden Grahams.

Crispy, crunchy, graham cereal,

brand new breakfast treat..."

 

For 9 innings.

This will keep me laughing through the tears if/when this one gets lost.

 

I was thinking, "BaconbaconbaconbaconbaconBACON!!!!"

I was thinking: "Cheese sandwich... did someone say cheese sandwich?"

 

[Oldcity]

We better hope we score this inning, otherwise it's Greg Aquino for the tenth.

 

Crap, I see someone beat me to that joke. (please let it stand as just a joke)

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I hate to interupt the Yost bashing...but how cool was Rickie's homer!!! I don't know what's in the water down at Nashville...but I'm going to retire there!!!

 

We're watching baseball in September...don't forget to smell the Roses!!!

[Menotti80]

pinch hit billy here

lol

[PrinceFielder28]

Wow good thing Lidge didn't pitch like this an inning ago

[Trowekamp]

I think we need some Cheese Sandwich power to pull this one out..

[pitchleague]

boy, Gross hasn't done much this series. Change that NOW Gabe!

[SeriesFinale]

I'd love to see role-player Gross hit a "Yost at Fenway"-type bomb here

[Mike Felder]

Whoa...strike 3 to Gabe looked outside to me.
