7/9/05 Brewers (Sheets) @ Braves (Davies) 6:05 CST sorry

[shelmark]

Not to mention the fact we had two guys on base and the pitcher was lookin like crap. Durrington would battled and gamed.

[lithium75]

it seems as though Yost relies too heavily on pitch counts. Sheets didn't get his 110 yet, so he left them out there. I know that Yost has said that he doesn't want to use the pen, but he is messing around with one of our important pieces for the future. Rain + 6 run lead = Sheets not being out there, but there he is.

[endaround]

Yost brought in Hardy anyway.

[JoeHova]

now, Betemit with a hit that Billy would have easily turned into an out. Why did Yost put JJ in? It wasn't a double-switch or anything, Sheets is still in. Is Russ or Billy hurt? the Braves announcers didn't mention the substitution.

[ja002h]

And there's 2 men on right away anyway. Hindsight...

Hardy + Hall > Hall + Branyan on defense...

[princeginterhallhelms04]

Come on Ned if you are going to bring in Hardy why keep Sheets in to bat. You wasted a bat off the bench in my eyes and put your ace in danger... If the Braves score here it is ned's fault...

 

lol double play!

[endaround]

Branyan looked to be holding his hand after his hit. Of course Bill and Darron didn't notice it.

How dare you berate Ben's batting. Don't you listen to him in interviews? He rakes.

[lithium75]

Cox vs Yost...man watching the Braves play, the game just seems to make more sense. He never makes a move that results in a "What was that? Why didn't he..." Yost must think outside the box...or something

[H0FFY]

Well, that kind of makes you feel more comfortable with the world. 3/4 of our future combine to end the threat.

[ja002h]

Nice job working out of it.

[Brian the Automator]

[ He never makes a move that results in a "What was that? Why didn't he..." ]

 

The Bobby Cox strategy is "never make a move".

[lithium75]

A little off topic, but D. Lee of Chicago must not have been hurt too badly, he hit #26 tonight.

[lithium75]

That's a Wise move by Yost

[endaround]

Why is Wise pitching? Why burn your best reliever in a 6 run game?

[Brian the Automator]

I really don't agree with burning through Matt Wise today. I understadng that tomorrow's game MIGHT be called, but up 8-2, Ned might have wanted to use a lesser reliever.

[Jaylyn]

Interesting question here, since I'm not from the Milwaukee area and just watched the Travis Tritt Braves commercial, I was wondering do they do that kinda of promo in Milwaukee.

 

That pitch from Wise was just wicked!http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eek.gif

 

I would like to see JDLR get an inning

[Fike85]

I have zero faith in any of our relievers not named Matt Wise. I was glad to see him in there. Besides, he only threw 8 pitches, so it worked out pretty well.

[lithium75]

The last time we had a 6 run lead and didn't bring in Wise, we lost and everyone got mad that we didn't bring in Wise in stead of Betallico. Now we bring in Wise, and everyone gets mad. I kind of would rather just win, and Wise is the best option to do that. After the last couple of games, just win this one.

[giffted1]

We've got a cushion, time to unleash De La Rosa in the ninth.

[Jaylyn]

Agreed Fike, but up 8-2 why not give JDLR a shot when the game is "not" in question?

[H0FFY]

I hope Ned will let some other reliever pitch the 9th. 8 soft tosses by Wise will not make him unavail for tomorrow.

[Jaylyn]

Hoffy, ask and ye shall recieve, Phelps is up

 

But Ned decides to leave Wise in. That was a scary looking foul ball!
