OK, is Kolb the better option than Turnbow in the 9th? There's no justification for letting your best reliver rot on the bench so he can compile meaningless saves. Just mindless,"follow the leader" mentality.

 

Perhaps, but at some point the other relievers in the bullpen need to stop sucking and get the job done.

[dixieflatline]

Looks like Hoffman is coming in for the 10th if we get that far.

[Riebes24]

I'm just going to go ahead and assume we lose this game.

 

If things turn out differently, wonderful.

 

You have seen the light! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Nice job by Kolb to get out of the leadoff walk.

[Team Canada]

Ground Ball Danny strikes again. Cmon offense..

[JoeH33]

We have life!

When he's racking up an ERA in the 1.00s, yes, Kolb is the bestter option for the 9th.

[jloos19]

Nice job there turning two. Man is Gonzalez slow.

[rluzinski]

The home team get's about a 4% win expectency advantage in extra innings. So like, 48/52.

[Loopee]

I swear Dan Kolb has been very good this year, and looked very bad in doing it.

Kolb's turning things around nicely.

[DougJones43]

i agree with russ. it's been almost a week since turnbow has pitched. yost has "saved" him for opportunities that never arrived because our inferior bullpen pitchers blew it. turnbow should be used in the game's most crucial inning, not just sitting around waiting for a situation that might not even happen.

 

granted, we were fortunate to work around a lead-off walk in the 9th here, but seriously, what is it going to take to get turnbow in there?

[And That]

Trevor Hoffman is sweet.

[clancyphile]

The reason why is because they can afford to send their closer out for the 10th inning. the Brewers really can't - although it helps to have relievers like Kolb and (to a lesser extent) Wise.

[RightFieldCoder]

That looks great. You're wearing a suit and you're jumping up and down because you and not a kid got an $8 ball.

[badgerfan.tgf]

I wish I knew the Brewers record in extra innings on west coast trips over the last 6-7 years. I can't remember ever winning an extra inning game out there.

[Southwest Brewer]

I'm in the play Turnbow camp after getting swept by the Dodgers

[RightFieldCoder]

Oh, and please notice that our friend Roberts is batting 2nd in the bottom of the 10th. Extra base hit comming up.

 

Won in extra innings against the LAAAAAAA in 17 innings. Scotty Po doubled in Council. Sheets went 9 innings and gave up one hit, yet it still took an entire other game for the Brewers to finally score a run.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Man, two innings of Linebrink followed by at least one from Hoffman. What a nice luxury to have in late innings.

I really don't understand why this is that big of a deal. Either you have to trust someone to get you to the next inning, or you use Turnbow and then trust that another guy can close it out. 3 outs is 3 outs.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Of course a double with no one on. I'm sure that will be promptly followed by a strikeout.

 

 

Can you tell I'm getting aggitated???

[JoeH33]

C'mon Corey.......just a texas leaguer, thats all I ask

[dixieflatline]

On the bright side Hoffman will be due up to start the 10th. Either they pinch hit or let him hit. Either way that isn't such a bad thing for us.

[Pointer1VB]

or you use Turnbow and then trust that another guy can close it out. 3 outs is 3 outs.

 

Assuming we score in the top of the inning after turnbow.

[Team Canada]

OH CANADA!!!
