4/23/08 Phillies (Hamels) at Brewers (Bush): 7:05 PM CDT

I sure hope Bush can get through the 7th now.

 

Now you're managing the Ned Yost way!

[trwi7]

Ugh 14 pitchers is ridiculous.

[adambr2]

"If there was nobody out or one out, then maybe you'd go to the bench."

 

No you wouldn't, Bill. Then you would probably bunt, no?

[Brewer Fever]

Someone tell Bill this has nothing to do with a shortage of pinch-hitters. That guy is not too bright.

[JET15]

The booing was a little more than I expected given the BP situation

[Glennron]

Man oh man, Gagne and Weeks blowing that lead yesterday hurts now

But extra innings are the Brewers niche! They're 5-1 in extras, they must enjoy it!

 

Why are people booing Bush batting, do they not understand the bullpen situation?

[endaround]

Thing is Bush is at 104 pitches

[adambr2]

This game is looking like a million games last year. We come out rocking in the 1st inning, looking like the 1927 Yankees, and then settle in to looking like the '02 Brewers the rest of the game.

[Brewer Fever]

Thing is Bush is at 104 pitches

 

And I bet his arm still feels better right now than any of our 8 relievers.

[sheetswannabe]

Bill 13 pitchers is not too many.... It is perfect

[Brewer Fever]

No flipping way. That's a fireable offense.

[SeriesFinale]

Oh MAAAAAANNNNN.....

[soundsfan]

Bring Stetter in to face all these upcoming leftys, give him his shot to stay with this team.

[Glennron]

This game is looking like a million games last year. We come out rocking in the 1st inning, looking like the 1927 Yankees, and then settle in to looking like the '02 Brewers the rest of the game.

Either that, or we're facing a top 5 or 10 NL pitcher, and he's making adjustments.

 

Ugh I can see the Phillies smacking Dave around here this inning.

 

Edit: Uh Ned, if the leash on Bush was that short why didn't you use a pinch hitter there?

[endaround]

Could someone slap Bill and tell him that the 14 pitchers is meaningless at this point?

[adambr2]

Yost, will you ever get it?

[TooLiveBrew]

Ned Yost says, 'Hope - pass it on'

 

We have to name his trademarked non-PH for a starter-that's-clearly-fatigued/less effective move (and yes, I agree that today is a poor situation, but one Yost created himself)

 

Whats the point of keeping Bush in to hit

 

He needs Rivera's bat for the 12th inning. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Brewer Fever]

Seriously, fire that man right after the game.

[sheetswannabe]

Ned, are you kidding me? Whats the point of keeping Bush in to hit, if your gonna let him face 1, YES 1!!! hitter.... Ugh

[endaround]

Yost had Biush bat so Stetter didn't have face one RH hitter....

[AmyintheSouth]

There is nothing more disconcerting in Gameday than a big black box pitching for your team.

[PeaveyFury]

Absolutely astounding.

[endaround]

Yost was managing in hope for the best mode again

[homer]

I mean pinch hitting a lefty against Hamels is by no means a guaranteed hit, but I like the odds of Counsell or Gwynn getting on base more than Bush.

[trwi7]

Can we fire this clown and hire a bum off the street?
