    Not to mention I believe we are 8-7 in our last 15 games now.

    Seattle takes the lead 4-3 on their 2nd hit of the ballgame, heh.
  3. Ennder
    I'm not a big IBB guy but thats the spot I think I'd have done it. Casey is not the hitter he used to be.
  4. Ennder
    Hall up to a .762 OPS
  5. Ennder
    Boy we needed that one, thank you Hall.

    I think I'd hold the players accountable, they are who wins or loses the game afterall. Its not Yost's fault that Cordero blew a game in Texas. Its not his fault that the SP has been all over the place lately. Its not his fault that most of the team put up a sub .300 OBP in May.

    I'd say he'd have about the same chance. Leyland didn't do anything special, he picked his starters, played them every day and they scored a bunch of runs while not letting a lot in. His bullpen management was nothing special either. You could make the argument that he somehow just made his players play better but thats just hard to quantify so I can't really agree or disagree with it.

    Problem is those are just opinions. Sitting a rookie every other week is a smart move, sitting him against a tough righty is the proper time to do it. I have no problem at all with sitting Braun one game. I'd have taken issue with Mench being DH against a righty. Gwynn is 2 for his last 13 with 5 K's, not exactly like he's been hitting well either. There is no reason at all to pinch hit for Counsell when down by 4, he is 4th on the team in OBP and you'd rather leave a guy in there that already has seen Verlander a few times than pinch hit someone cold off the bench in general. Pinch hitting Braun for Graffy would have been fine in my book. So much of what makes Yost a 'bad manager' in peoples opinion seem to just be random complaints based on opinion. There are times that he just makes a really boneheaded move like batting Estrada 5th so long but he's not anywhere near as bad as people make him out to be. We have far from the worst bullpen in baseball. We have the 7th best bullpen ERA in the NL and only two teams are significantly better than us, SD and LAD. Our bullpen has the 4th best OPS allowed in the NL, the 4th most K's, the 5th fewers BB's.

    Nope. I think you really overestimate this team based on the 24-10 or something. This team is still in its growth phase whether you like it or not. They have a nice young core formed that is going to be here for a few years, its not like the team is going to be disassembled next year and must win this one. I'm sorry your tired of waiting for a winning team but it does take time and when Melvin took this team over it had about two major league players and no payroll. He has done a better job rebuilding it than I've ever seen any GM do with a team like this. If the team can play over .500 against mediocre and bad teams and .400 or so against good teams it should win around 83-85 games which is what I thought it would. That very well could see us in the playoffs.

    When he starts to make bad moves. Its not what you want to hear but you still do need to have patience. The players are mostly in place to be a good team now but its still going to take some time for them to gain the experience to become a good team. We have a lineup most nights that includes five hitters who have not even seen two full years worth of PA's in the majors yet, it takes most hitters a good 1500 AB's to fully mature in the big leagues, thats around 2.5-3 full years of playtime. As bad as this bit of baseball seems its still only a few wins off the expected pace for this team given the competition. This is not a team that is going to play .500 ball against good teams, especially on the road and we have only played a single team that should be under .500 since the bad streak started.

    If I had to guess I'd say 50% of the bullpen complaints are by people who don't pay attention to the previous usage of players, 25% are completely clueless based off small sample sizes of data and 25% of the complaints are actually Yost screwing up. The whole thing is overblown. Yost is an average manager, I don't really see a reason to fire him but I don't think the team is going to somehow be significantly worse if we switch managers next season. I'm just overall pretty indifferent. Odds are probably higher we get a worse manager than a better one if we replace him since there are so few good managers out there. My expectations going into the season were lower than many, I expected low 80's wins and a 2nd place finish BECAUSE its a bad division. If we get through the season relatively injury free and can't make 81 wins I could see them getting rid of Yost. I don't think this team has the talent/experience to consider the season a failure if we don't reach the playoffs though, even in a bad division.

    That doesn't really bother me, Verlander was throwing the ball well and we didn't get anything going on him. Thats much easier to stomach than the 1st two games in the Texas series.
  13. Ennder
    At least its a good pitcher and not some schmuck.
  14. Ennder
    What is he supposed to say? Back to back days the team was put in the position to win the game and the closer blows it. He can't say the guy is a bum and I'm benching him, he has to support the guy and Coco will bounce back.
  15. Ennder
    Hall will not miss this joker calling balls and strikes today.
  16. Ennder
    My heart just stopped, heh.
  17. Ennder
    baserunners are good, now lets drive them in. edit : or not. 6 runners stranded, 10 LOB.
  18. Ennder
    4 runners stranded, 8 LOB through 2 innings, this team is very frustrating right now. I must say its nice having guys get on at least, the teams OBP has been criminal during this bad stretch.
  19. Ennder
    I'll still take Bush over Vargas or Capuano the way they have been throwing lately. I can't stand watching guys who are behind in the count all night long.
  20. Ennder
    back to back hits followed by back to back strikeouts, go figure.
  21. Ennder
    Thats actually a pretty good lineup, I'm surprised. I like Hart batting 5th as long as Hall is sucking and Weeks is hurt.
  22. Ennder
    Look, people can have whatever opinion they want and they can vent all they want especially in this thread. My personal vent is that people jump to conclusions over small sample sizes of data and thats what we have so far this season. It really bothers me that people throw away the previous 1100 PA's he's had and dwell on the most recent 200 like its his true talent. The guy has been in a slump, eventually it will get better. Every year dozens of players have terrible first halves and good second halves and vice versa its just how baseball works.
  23. Ennder
    Lance Berkman had a .720 OPS going into the week, Atkins has a sub .700 OPS. Soriano was under an .800 OPS just a couple weeks ago and is well over .900 now. Baseball is a streaky game, complain all you want about a player but its just part of the game not them being greedy or anything like that.
  24. Ennder
    I predict a 12-4 win for the Brewers tonight!
  25. Ennder
    There have been a lot of complaints about the lineup changing too much but honestly its mostly because of injuries. Hart was out and then Weeks was hurt which messes things up. Hall has been sitting a little extra and being moved down because he's been struggling which is not a bad thing. Weeks/Hart Hardy Braun Fielder Estrada (yuck, should be Weeks/Hart here) Jenkins/Mench Weeks/Hart Hall Pitcher That is the lineup I expect to see out there when everyone is playing. The majority of those players have been set in stone since Braun came up.
