It turned out to be a bad move because of the run but to make the decision originally, I can't call it that. Melvin has Turnbow on the roster and if you're never going to pitch him, why waste the roster spot? Every game they seem to be playing is tied or within a run in the ninth. He has to be used sometime or you'll kill the other guys. I guess since I don't agree exactly with what you say, there is obviously no help for me. I will watch for what to think. Thank you.

Here's the kind of stuff that was being typed about Yost for bringing in Shouse the other night..... There are others That is how Yost managed last year though and everyone exploded at him over it. Pitcher would be cruising, give up a couple bloop hits and one hard hit ball, Yost goes to bullpen which lets in runs and everyone says he is an idiot. -------There is a huge difference between between "giving up a couple of bloop hits and one hard hit ball" and having two outs with no one on and giving up a week grounder that JJ probably should have at least stopped. I'm not saying that I entirely disagree with the reasoning given the situation, but I think a good manager has a real feel for the game and would be able to tell that Soup was cruisng. Has still strong and had his command. And Ned has never had a feel for the game. -------The problem is your assuming Suppan gets out of it. There was no guarentee of that. Yost brought in the guy that 99 percent of the time doesn't give up a HR in that situation (or at least shouldn't). He made the right move there. He put his team in the position to win the game! Shouse failed. Period. -------The problem is he gets so hung up on the righy-lefty matchups he can't see what's going on in front of him. Soup was cruising. IF he gives up another hit you make the call. He gives up a dribbler and all of a sudden he can't go on? When a pitcher is on, and under 90 pitches, the righty-lefty thing is irrelevant. -------The guy gave up 3 hits in 6 2/3 innings, none of which were hit very hard. I'm comfortable with "assuming" Soup could have pitched out of it -------yeah....LET HIM FINISH THE INNING!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was cruising and under 90 pitches. god. He lets fragile Sheets go over 100 on back to back starts and then he pulls the reliable Suppan before 90 pitches when he's cruising. Piss poor decision I'm sorry --------Seriously, a chimp could manage this team better... --------On paper that may have been the right move to bring in Shouse, but Ned has absolutely no feel for the game whatsoever --------I dont get it. Whats the point of saving the bullpen, when your gonna pull your starter after 85 pitches and a little single? -------jazzytrav wrote: And now when Griffey and Dunn get back up in the bottom of the 9th, our lefty option is ... Stetter? BINGO. Very poor managing. -------Ned prefers to leave pitchers in when he should take them out and takes them out when he should leave them in -------Dumb move for Ned yet again.

I don't have a good feeling about Obermueller tomorrow but I'll still be there cheering him on. Whe do we have to get our money in for the playoff tickets to get the same seats as our season tickets?http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif p.s. If they're anything like the Packer season tickets, the money would have to be in next week. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

Obviously, with your reply, it doesn't pay for me to explain my feelings so I won't try. We will agree to disagree. If you think that there aren't unwritten rules about this stuff then I guess you are right. FYI, I also don't believe that everyone in little league should get a trophy to make them feel good and I also feel that a score should be kept to see who wins and who loses.

Obviously, I agree with Clancy. I guarantee that around the league, no one will think that it's classless to hit someone after having two of your guys hit. They will think that you are weak if you don't respond, though.

Wait until Edmonds gets up and drill that SOB! edit..A Cardinal needs to get knocked on their a-s!
