you kidding me? let him finish the inning

[Ennder]

I am shocked and pleasantly surprised to see Yost go with Shouse here.

[uwisfan]

wow, surprised to see Soup go with like 85 pitches on a weak 1-out single

[adambr2]

I don't get this at all. Soup is cruising along, only around 85 pitches and 2 hits today through 6 2/3, and he gives up a little dribbler single and immediately gets the hook?

[jazzytrav]

Okay, I post about Soup and he immediately gets pulled. I understand pitching him against Votto, but why not save him for Griffey and Dunn?

[Trowekamp]

you kidding me? let him finish the inning

I can see that argument but Shouse is a better option against Votto... If Suppan gives up a bomb to Votto there would be 10 pages instead of 5 on this thread describing how he should have pulled him.

[GormanHarvey]

Ned prefers to leave pitchers in when he should take them out and takes them out when he should leave them in

[BigGunToddDunn]

I think Ned should have kept Suppan in for one more batter. But Shousey's a pretty safe call.

[Schlitz001]

Props to Soup for a great outing. That's the first hit he's given up since the 4th inning. C'mon House.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

I'm gonna call this Yosting early.

 

He's at 85 freaking pitches. Why not save Shouse for big LH bats?

[Team Canada]

Wow, that backfired.

[uwisfan]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRr

[Roscoe Chill]

Dumb move for Ned yet again.

[adamb100]

Well thats a bit disturbing...

As Jim pointed out, you've got a lefty killer in the pen and Suppan is prone to giving up HR, one swing could tie it. If Shouse does the job here. Brewers just have one more inning to get though to get it to you closer. I wish Suppan could have gotten that last out, but smart move.

[Ennder]

Well I think the idea behind the move was good, the result not so much.

[trwi7]

Wow nice move Ned.

[thablingster]

Do not want. Sucks to waste Soup's good outing.

[jazzytrav]

That worked well...

[Sopranos62]

Apparently even Shouse is fallible...

[BigGunToddDunn]

"But Shousey's a pretty safe call"

 

Not today.

Uhg, nevermind.

[Roscoe Chill]

I understand the move if Suppan hadn't been dominating...but he was indeed dominating. And explain to me why he'll leave other guys in there when it's obvious they've lost it?

[southpaw121505]

yeah....LET HIM FINISH THE INNING!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was cruising and under 90 pitches. god. He lets fragile Sheets go over 100 on back to back starts and then he pulls the reliable Suppan before 90 pitches when he's cruising. Piss poor decision I'm sorry

[phxMILWfan]

Seriously, a chimp could manage this team better...
