If anything, Yost should be busting up himself, for intentionally putting a man on base.

 

That's an assumption. There's no reason to believe that he intentionally called for Pujols to be hit.

 

Two guys warming up. One is his set-up man one is one of his worst relievers. Facing one of the best hitters in the game he brings in one of his worst relievers. Yep there's nothing shady about that at all.

I think there's every reason to believe it. First pitch. Turnbow was getting ready (to come in for the ejected guy), and there's been plenty of history in just this series. It's an assumption, but it's one I feel 100% safe in making.

 

[dlk9s]

I really hope we don't score 3 runs.

 

EDIT: Make that 4 runs.

[endaround]

What were they supposed to do Russ? Your matchups are either Spurling against Edmonds or Shouse against Taguchi. I'd take Shouse against Taguchi.

You forgot this guy named Cordero

 

[pretendastronaut]

Hey, at least we let LaRussa know we wouldn't take them retaliating. That's gotta count for something. *fuming

Coco vs. anyone.

[MoneyballMan]

And LaRussa is going to be laughing for the next four months.

[PrinceFielder28]

Turnbow is like a weak chair with a 400lb man sitting on it, just waiting to fold under the pressure

[lcbj68c]

It's amazing how many think Yost called for Pujols to be HBP intentionally.

You've got to be kidding...

[bbaehman]

This is not Yost's fault...Turnbow not throwing strikes lost this game

[Jim Goulart]

It's amazing how many think Yost called for Pujols to be HBP intentionally.

 

It's amazing even one person thinks he didn't.

Ya, there is NO way that wasn't intentional. Neither Yost nor McClung looked surprised or angered to be getting kicked out of that game.

[MoneyballMan]

I'm watching something else. If they come back and win, wonderful. I can't take watching the rest of this game, however.

[And That]

And now this game is totally getting away from them... I'm too confused to even be angry at this point.

[PrinceFielder28]

and another. this is ridiculous we just need to gut our bullpen and replace them all

[moofnelson]

The Brewer's bullpen is so stinkin' terrible. It is incredible how rotten their bullpen is. I hate their bullpen. I don't hate a lot of things (Cubs, Vikings, Hitler...). But I really

hate the Brewers bullpen.

[TauPentaRei]

Yost giving new definition to "managing every game like it's his last"

[trwi7]

This is not Yost's fault...Turnbow not throwing strikes lost this game

 

You could say Coco not warming up at any point cost us an oppurtunity to win the game. That's on Yost.

[PKBadger]

Turnbow must be a terrible craps player, because he certainly has problems hitting his mark.

[adamb100]

Can we take advantage of opportunities at all?

[trwi7]

Seriously they better re-sign at least one of Cordero and Linebrink. This bullpen is garbage.

[T B0NE 10]

im starting to hate yost....he has given away this season

[thablingster]

That HBP was intentional. If it were one run, fine, then Ned's a moron. But Turnbow exploded, and that's all on him. When you can't throw one strike to a .174 hitter, it doesn't matter if anyone else is on base.

[endaround]

Hey guess what, I bet the Cubs players are busy laughing watching the Brewers piss away the game!
