7/8/07 Brewers (Capuano) @ Nationals (Redding): 12:35 PM CDT

A little magic please Mr. Wise.

[wisconsinfan47]

I've defended Ned's bullpen use all year, but what the hell is he thinking today?

 

I swear, if Ned Yost calls Cappy a "gamer" in the postgame interview I will puke.

[Mass Haas]

Man, Gallardo would have looked good at the first sign of trouble this inning -- but don't forget, Ned Yost is a Manager of the Year candidate, yeah right.

[UeckerAddict]

I am incensed!!!!! I've been screaming at the TV since Zimmerman went deep. That HR should have been his last pitch. What is Ned doing??!!! We have four days off!!!!! Use everybody!

Doesn't matter what he does. The Brewers don't come back late in games.

[Ennder]

I've been pretty forgiving of Yost's bullpen management this season since there is so much behind who gets used and doesn't that we just don't know about. This inning was a disaster though, no excuse at all for Capuano to be out there that long.

[BucketheadBrigader]

Ned, you are simply awful at managing a bullpen. Hideous.

They're starting to play like they just want to get out of there. Too bad it looks like the Bucs will end up blowing the game to the Cubs.

[jhart05]

@#%$ is going on here.

[B2k1121]

Wow this is probably the worst team in the majors on the road.

[KCBrewerfan34]

Is Ned saving the bullpen for tomorrow? Cappy was good thru 5, we just took the lead, this is one of those games you can manage differently. This guy has the imagination of an insect. God I can't stand Yost, then he leaves Capuano out there to die.

 

If we had a decent manager and I mean even a decent manager I wonder what our lead in the division would be. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brewcrewkid14]

It's O.K. all good teams go through bad stretches.

[Mike Felder]

Ass is one of those words I can say on here, right? That's what I think of Ronnie freaking Belliard. And Ned Yost.

[thablingster]

I second the Yosted post. I realize you can't just pull a guy that quickly, but once 5 straight batters reached base, Capuano should have been out.

[WV Brew]

100% on Ned this time. Just off the disabled list, only threw 5 innings last game and you leave him in for 100 pitches on a 90+ degree day with high humidity. Just brainless. He should have been ready to come out after the walk to Jimenez who can't hit past the mound on a fly if he hammers it. Pathetic.

[wOOgiE22]

Throw a dang strike!! I have better things to do then waste my Sunday watching this crap!

[adambr2]

Well, that oughta do it.

 

Great series, way to lose a series to the freaking Nationals and give up 7 runs, maybe more now.

 

How about learning to play some baseball on the road, Brewers, instead of just the friendly confines of Miller Park. It shouldn't be that much of a disparity.

[Hammer]

Seriously...I hate Ned Yost. What the hell did he say to Cappy to make him implode? Screw you Yost!

[AJAY]

BOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!

[thablingster]

At least the Cubs are losing.

 

A 3-7 road trip against the Pirates, Nats, and Cubs to end the first half isn't exactly what I was hoping for.

[Mass Haas]

2-5 on visits to Pittsburgh and Washington. Miserable.

 

Go Pirates.

[B2k1121]

So Yost is the one that walked the leadoff hitter?

 

Then Yost threw a pitch right down the middle?

 

Then he walked 2 more guys?

 

Face it, that home run was the end of the game, it didn't matter what Yost did. It's not like Wise is doing any better.

[bucks2281]

I'm no genius, but I'd think you'd have to be aware that Cappy might be prone to a big inning after running the bases in 100 degree heat.
