6/4/07 Cubs (Marquis) @ Brewers (Bush): 7:05 PM CDT

[PeaveyFury]

Bush has struggled this year past the 6th, it seems.

 

Probably got the hook a batter too late there.

[brewmann04]

AND THERE GOES THE BUSH EXPLOSION

NED KNOWS HE ONLY HAS 6 in HIM damm lack of Offense

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Always an inning or batter too late, Ned. You would think a manager could learn from previous experience.

[Mass Haas]

The Brewers really don't deserve to win this game -- I'm less upset right now than I should be.

[AJAY]

If they lose tonight, I am not going to blame the bullpen.

[Trowekamp]

I hate being right... Bush is a six inning pitcher.. just take your six innings and be happy...

Almost have to bring Turnbow don't you to look for a strikeout?

[crewcrazy]

Hard to complain about Bush giving up two runs, though....the Brewers should have more than two runs on the board. It's like Bush is this year's Davis.

[geothite]

As soon as Bush puts a runner on base in the 7th you go get him. Has he ever worked his way out of one these situations?

He is a 6 inning pitcher.

He gave need 6 great innings and again he tries to bleed an extra inning out of him.

[MoneyballMan]

Bush should go into the dugout and do a Zambrano on the whole Brewers offense!!

[lumberrule]

You would think a manager could learn from previous experience.

 

He sets up his pitchers for failure time after time.

[Trowekamp]

I will go on record and say I would have taken even Capellan over Shouse for the K potential.. Thatcher would look good right here.

[B2k1121]

If that's not a swing I don't know what is.

[And That]

Wow, Floyd went waaaay around.

 

Erect an out, Brian's House.

[MoneyballMan]

If that first pitch wasn't a swing by Floyd, I don't know what a swing is.

[RyDogg66]

Shouse has proved worthless vs. LH hitters lately.

 

Take him out NOW please.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

And so much for our vaunted lefty specialist................ Two games in a row for Shouse.

[bucks2281]

Shouse isn't good anymore.

 

I can't believe I invested 2.5 hrs on this game. I absolutely hate playing the Cubs at home.

[brewmann04]

i know the offense have left 10 men on base and are to bleme but i agree Ned has to know to pull Bush after the 6th.

where the Magicial plan Wise Bow and Coco

[cruiserx43]

Usually not very critical of Yost, but I think we all saw this unravelling before our eyes.

[PeaveyFury]

Brian Shouse has been very not good this year.

[MoneyballMan]

This is hard enough to watch as it is, but these freakin Cubs fans makes it that much more difficult. VERY hard not to just type a few f-bombs tonight.

[Shampoo4U]

Is there a rule that Shouse can only pitch to a left-handed batter??

Why even have a player/pitcher on the team if his value is to only face one batter??

[LUKE232323]

Well, this is a loss. And a game we should of ended in the first two innings.

 

So frustrating....

[lumberrule]

The Cubs will score at least 5 in this inning.

 

Thanks again, Ned.

 

You've just seen another episode of Yosted! Tune in next time for more terrible baseball decisions from one of the worst in-game managers in MLB.

[RyDogg66]

Why Dave Bush has a 6.00 ERA. Because he routinely pitches 6 innings, giving up one or two runs and leaves in the 7th with one or two guys on who ALWAYS seem to score.

 

Shouse and Turnbow have done Bush NO favors this season.
