7-20 Giants (Lowry) at Brewers (Suppan) 7:05 PM

Suppan scraping through 5 innings will do funny things to your chances of winning.

Blech

 

Well, thankfully less than 24 hours to think about this one

Even though it was great to see Parra come out of the bullpen tonight, he just looks like a starter to me. Congrats to Parra on a successful debut.

[sheethead]

Yosted!!! Put this one in the bucket of horribly managed games, yuck. And the press conference is just as bad. My frustration is rooted in Yost's inability to realize when a pitcher just doesn't have it. 3 walks? C'mon!!!!!!

[cruiserx43]

I generally don't go after Yost much, but really can't think of too many other managers that would have let any pitcher walk three consecutive batters and let him pitch to another.

 

I lay off Yost a lot and my buddy thinks I am a Yost apologist, but just can't understand that one. Altogether probably not the only reason the Crew lost this game, but surely didn't help.

[jlau20]

Does this mean Yost will lay off this same lineup atleast for awhile when we face lefties? I'm all for righty-lefty matchups, but he's overly all for them.

[splitterpfj]

What a drag....oh well, onward.

[AJAY]

Just got home from that torture of a game at Miller Park. Was it just me or did the Giants have a million baserunners in every single inning? The whole game felt like a non-stop pitching jam. Every pitcher except Parra pitched like garbage.

 

The score should have been 20-4 Giants.

 

What an awful performance.

[crewcrazy]

The Giants had 21 baserunners. Only 8 of them scored...success!

[thablingster]

Well, someone has to say it:

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

... that said, Rickie's play at the plate impressed me. Ned should have had the bullpen up once Villa walked two guys. Does Villa not like the retro uniform? This is the second Friday in a row he has had a poor outing.

[brewmann04]

the pen is showing signs of overuse and the Starters are to blame. Brewers lose 1st place as soon as they hit the road

[igor67]

I totally disagree that Yost can be blamed for this. You've got your ace reliever nab a couple of outs and then suddenly he walks a guy. Is your first reaction to tell someone in the pen to warm up? That borders on the ridiculous that's how you burn through relievers by July having them warm up all the time. And even if you do It's still going to take atleast two batters for just about anybody to get warmed up. This is substantially different than having a struggling Cappy on the mound in the middle innings where you'd have a guy ready to warm up at the first hint of trouble.

You have been posting basically this same thing since May now, we get it, you think the Brewers will collapse.

I don't get how Yost is getting heat on this one. This is definately one of those that is simply yost bashing. If Villy gets out of it, like most of the time, he is still a fan favorite and everyone loves him. But since he fails and people like him, yost gets the heat? Two quick outs and then things fall apart quickly. Even after a couple batters you are not going to take him out. It's not normal of him to have such a bad outing so I think its easy to assume that he would recover like he usually does.

 

So it's not like we should have had someone up after 3 hitters or so and been ready to make a change. No idea that idea is going. Just excuses because the blame can't go on a favorite young kid who hasn't messed up much. Funny how that works. Bow has a few bad games this year, and with last year in mind, he needs to be traded or demoted. Villy has a couple, and we got yosted. Great stuff.

Well.. I guess my dream came true but not 100%. Soup did hit the wall, but had the lead, and it wasn't Bush who came in relief it was Villy, but the end result was the same. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

 

No brewers lose dream last night, so hopefully we are ok!

Weekend mojo was destroyed with:

 

1. No woogie

 

and

 

2. The Brewers have been great at home, and the Giants are among the NL's worst....I want all 3!
