These guys are hacking on Ned's decision.

 

Edit: King is giving up nothing but hits.

[rluzinski]

Well, Magruder is batting lefty anyway, and he's hopeless over there.

[brewers19]

Bob and Jim just explained that Ned wanted to give Jenks a full day off.

 

Yeah, because Jenkins was playing everyday during that three-day break we had a week ago. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

[Getpaddled]

hes backing out before the pitch gets there!!

[Oswald Chesterfield Cobble]

plus its 1 atbat and maybe an inning in the field, this is stupidhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[brewers19]

I feel like breaking something, but I suppose it would only make me feel worse when I calm back down.

[Oswald Chesterfield Cobble]

great now we have the bottom of the order against iggy and we need a run.

[PietroSanGiacomo]

Half of our outs have come with runners in scoring position.

 

Zero of our hits have.

 

At least one of those outs scored a run this time.

[H0FFY]

i hope branyan and jenks are enjoying their night off; we dont need them

[dpapo]

Not pitch hitting Jenkins was just plain stupid and bad managing. Not only was Magruder hitting .197 lefthanded, but Jenkins was 4 for 6 agaisnt Ray King and 4 for 12 agaisnt Tavarez. Even the Cardinals announcers could not believe that Jenkins or even Branyan didn't pitch hit.

[Oswald Chesterfield Cobble]

taking sheets out is a move i can live with, not letting jenkins hit for magruder is unexcusable

[Oswald Chesterfield Cobble]

atleast its dana time

[endaround]

Of course if Yost was worried about King against Jenkins, he still has Miller who you know hits righty. And he isn't pathetic which is Magruder batting LH. Its like that day at the All Star game got Yost to overplay platoon advantage as much as LaRussa does.

[shelmark]

I'm bettin the full day off for Jenkins just ended. That was a poor approach with two strikes for Mag. He has such a strange swing..looks like a two hand forehand in tennis.

[Rob]

If we have a 8 million dollar right fielder who can't come in because : A) he needs a day off or B) a left would just come in then we need a new right fielder.

[moofnelson]

Some of Yost's decisions really piss me off. Jenkins is hot. There's a runner in scoring position. Your team is down by one run. hmmm.

 

moof

[mastershake76]

Any good feelings generated by last night's come from behind win are quickly evaporating with this deflating performance tonight. AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!

[brewerjamie15]

I guess Jenkins should have brought in as a defensive replacement for macgruder hey Ned?

[brewers19]

Another reason to have put Jenkins in for Maggy.

[markwitx]

thank god, there walking albert!

[brewerjamie15]

I've never really said this before, but I believe that Ned Yost lost this game for us.

[H0FFY]

I would prefer to lose with our best players; it is disgusting to lose when your best, hottest, highest paid players (who, actually bat the opposite hand to the pitcher on the mound) are left on the bench

 

shame, ned, shame

 

hang your head in shame

[dpapo]

I repeat what I wrote before that Jenkins was 4 for 6 agaisnt Ray King. Bad managing plain and simple.

[endaround]

As evidence for LaRussa overplaying platoon advantage: So Taguchi comes into bat.
