9/1/08 Mets (Santana) at Brewers (Sheets): 1:05 PM CDT

Riske is so awful.

[pebadger]

Hey, let's load the bases. Just to make it interesting.

[thablingster]

Please get someone up in the bullpen. I'd take DiFelice at this point.

[Dustin Block]

Jeebus, Riske ... can you get one frickin' out?

[trwi7]

Man, a guy with no fastball velocity or breaking ball that can't find the strikezone. That's my kind of reliever!

[pebadger]

If Ned doesn't make a move after the walk/HR, he needs to be fired immediatley.

Attn: Ned Yost

 

David Riske sucks.

 

Regards,

Fans

[Bernman23]

GET HIM OUT

[thablingster]

Wait, Ned just pulled Riske? Are we actually playing for keeps here?

[Dustin Block]

9 pitches ... 8 balls ... AAA, anyone?

[bucks2281]

The days of ripping on Mota are over.

 

Time to rip on David Riske.

[dlk9s]

I was going to say that maybe they planned on pitching around Andersen to either bring Santana up or force the Mets to take him out of the game, but after Tatis, I don't think that was the plan.

[yfinn6]

Seriously Riske?

 

Well dlk9s, your avatar finally got to me. After seeing it all this time I finally tried to whisk that bug off my computer screen. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

He wouldn't have been in if I was managing.

[Bernman23]

I said he hasn't been good with inherited runners this year

This is where I disagree with conventional baseball moves...I wouldn't mind seeing Torres here. It's the highest leverage situation in the game...top of the order coming and he can stick around for the meat of the order in the 8th.

The funny thing is, I have been thinking about changing it.

Of course not. I'm just astounded you don't have a MLB job already...

[pebadger]

As soon as both starters left and the margin was 2, this game was destined for all sorts of dramatics and frustration for both fanbases.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Nice call pe

[Dustin Block]

Well, now that you've got the open base might as well walk him.

Not a bad idea, but then I thought to myself, "I seem to remember that Torres tends to be a little wild when he comes in."

 

Then I looked it up: he has allowed a .390 OBP to first batters faced, which is not what you want with bases loaded.

 

And as I type this, Stetter throws the wild pitch.

Nice smart ass comment. I never said I was better than anybody or that I should have an MLB job. You seem to always make a smart ass comment when somebody disagrees with Yost. Give it a rest and whine about something else.

[thablingster]

Considering how that started, I'll take giving up one.

 

Please let Good Gagne show up today.

 

It would be great if we could tack on a run or two with a PH and the top of the order up.
