    When the umpires in Atlanta were asked about their controversial calls, they defended themsleves and said that Ned Yost needs to look in the mirror. Do you think even the umpires could figure out that Claudio Vargas was struggling and probably should have been taken out sooner? They watch a lot of baseball and obviously know the game well too.

    I am not sure if you need to register to read this, but the NY Times has an article about fans trying to bring back Bernie Brewer's beer mug and chalet.. Fans in a Froth for the Mug in Which Bernie Brewer Bathedhttp://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/23/sports/baseball/23cheer.html?_r=2&ref=baseball&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

    Has anything good resulted from bunting all season? Do we ever score? Why do we keep giving away outs then?

    He didn't have a crystal ball that Wise would fail out there. BINGO !! That's exactly my biggest criticism of Ned Yost. Good managers actually do have that crystal ball in their brain. You just have to know the situation and you have to know what your players can and can't do. There are just some managers who are much better at it than others.

    Wise could have stepped up and pitched a 1-2-3 inning too. Just cause he's not thrown well lately doesn't mean that he will always throw poorly. Players can turn it around. I can't speak for Yost, but I'm pretty sure that if he would have known that Wise was going to give up a run, he wouldn't have put him in. I agree with your point, but a good manager would have sensed in advance that Wise was going to blow the game. That's what makes some managers better than others. Just to be clear, I am personally not complaining about Wise being put into the game. I am upset that he wasn't taken out of the game once things got messy. As a manager, you have to be able to sense a potential problem in advance. You are being paid to be the expert, and it's a shame when you can't see things that are about to happen. Ned is very poor at recognizing red flags and warning signs. He just never seems to figure out when a guy is about to fail. It's really amazing that most fans can see things faster than the manager.

    I understand what you mean by using Cordero right away to make sure the other team doesn't score and hope the Brewers score. But to me, that's like playing for a tie and hoping to get a win. Where as if you get the lead without using Cordero, it betters the chance of winning. If the Brewers had more than 2 or 3 reliable arms in the bullpen, this is a non issue. But we don't have 2 or 3 reliable arms in the bullpen. So you have to manage accordingly. And yes, we would be playing for a tie and hoping to win later. But that is MUCH BETTER than playing to lose by leaving Matt Wise in there. EVERYONE knew he was going to blow the game. And if the manager had any sense, he would have known it too.

    So when you do score a run, you don't have to throw out pitchers like Wise and McClung to get a save because there's no one left in the pen. I hope you understand that there is no save situation once you lose and the game is over.

    "For me, it just doesn't make any sense," he said. "If your stopper comes in the ball game (with the score tied), he's got to get six outs (to close the game if his team scores). "So, if you put your stopper in the game you better hope you score the next inning so he can close it out. If you don't score, he has to throw another three outs for you to have an opportunity (to win). "If you throw your stopper out there for three innings and then you score, then you've got a decision. Do I throw him out there again and have him unavailable for the next three days? Or do I bring somebody else in?" Sorry Ned, you can just use your closer for one inning when you are clearly in a jam and your current pitcher stinks and the season is on the line. You can always take your chances with other relievers later in the game.

    Obviously Ned must have gotten the word that he was being blasted on talk radio and websites all day . . . http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=665347

    Shades of Hardy's sac bunt in the 9th in Chicago three weeks back Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of again. I was furious that Ned bunted in that situation too because I knew this team does not execute well in those situations. It just amazes me that Ned just doesn't have that sense. I said 6 weeks ago that Joe Dillon was a good hitter and should be playing more. Ned just figured it out a few days ago. . . . way too late. He just can not see things very well. The entire city of Milwaukee knew tonight that Matt Wise was going to blow this game. But for some reason, Ned couldn't see it. It's just scary when fans figure out things much faster than the manager. How long did it take Yost to figure out that Chad Moeller was terrible. We all knew it very early on. But Ned kept letting him hit with the game on the line. The guy is just plain stupid sometimes.

    Someone on the Brewers.com forum made a great point . . . Pitchers typically don't run well. If they're not going to be needed anymore, you can take them out and replace them with a pinch runner. That means you can put on a faster runner that will score a run when a batter hits a double, instead of being stranded on 3rd. Remember when Bush was stranded at third but then never went out to pitch again? That could have been the winning run.

    Corey Hart sac bunt Have we ever been successful in bunting anyone over and scoring him? The answer is NO. It's a shame Ned doesn't even know his own team by now. The Brewers should just swing away and take their chances.
  13. AJAY
    So what exactly was Ned Yost saving Cordero for? I just don't get it. Especially against the heart of their order.
  14. AJAY
    It's way too early for that. I am sure if they lose the next few, everyone will be calling for Yost's head again. LOL

    I HATE BULLPENS !!!

    Special thanks to Jamie, Mary, and Brian for organizing Fan Fest and putting in the hard work. It was nice to see everyone and also meet some of the other members I had never met before. I really enjoyed the tailgate party.

    Geoff Jenkins is choking down the stretch. Bill Hall hasn't really gotten hot all season. Johnny Estrada is slow, can't throw out anyone, and not walking enough. Chris Capuano has been a bust this season, and Jeff Suppan has been inconsistent (although better lately). Damian Miller hasn't done much either. Sheets can't stay healthy enough. Some of these guys have been on losing Brewers teams too long and it's a shame that they aren't taking advantage of this playoff chance to finally rise to the occasion and be the leaders that they are expected to be. This team pisses me off. EDIT: I forgot to mention that Mench stinks too.

    And when are the veterans going to step up?
  19. AJAY
    I am just sick of treading water and not getting on any kind of real run. We are stuck in mediocrity for way too long. There is too much talent o n this team to be only two stinkin' games above .500 in a bad division.
  20. AJAY
    Threads like this tell me that we are all getting really edgy being in a close playoff race. Who would have even thought about this kind of stuff if we were either way ahead or way out of it? Maybe if Ned could a handle pitchng staff better, we would have a bigger lead and wouldn't be questioning the mating behaviors of our middle relievers. Anyway, I love kids and stuff. But we haven't been in the playoffs in 25 years. Wear a condom boys.

    I can't believe the stupid Astros blew a golden opportunity to demoralize the Cubs. Now I am feeling demoralized instead.

    I was just at the UW-Oshkosh campus last week for some meetings, and it seemed like almost 1 in 4 students was wearing some kind of Brewers apparell. I don't know if that's normal or not, but it was pretty cool. I am sure some of it might be more fasion-related than baseball-related, but still it was cool.
  23. AJAY
    GAME OVER !!! Cardinals Lose. What a tense ending though.
  24. AJAY
    9th inning. Here comes Valverde the Arizona closer.
  25. AJAY
    Yup, it was pretty noticeable on TV. The Brewers players were even talking about it in the MLB.com article. Nice to see Brewer Nation getting excited again.
