Can anybody pull up that 'Composure' bit from Old School that someone posted during the 7 game losing streak?

Young and make mistakes???

I was speaking generally. The point is it not talented and fundamentally sound enough to make up mistakes of the mananger.

[chowyo123]

One on. Weeks turn... lol, this is just embarassing.

Draw that walk Rickie.

 

Mesa's not gonna throw you a fastball.

[PeaveyFury]

The thing that amazes me about the Brewers this year is that it always seems like when the pitching is fantastic, the offense gets shutout or scores 1-2 runs, but when we put up 5 or more, the pitching gives up like 8.

How is this game Yost's fault? We had a 6-run lead and the bullpen simply had a meltdown. Relax. Over the course of a 162-game season really horrible things happen to a team.

1. Laboring DD starts the 7th.

2. DD gives up homer, still left in.

3. Gives up single still left in.

4 2-0 count to bay finally taken out.

5. RB faces the buccos best hitter starting behind 2-0

6. RB clearly doesn't have it but is left in and gives up a homer 7-8

7. Phelps starts the 8th instead of one of the set up men, in this case Santana.

 

I'm sure there are more, those are just off the top of my head.

--Bottomline: The Brewer bullpen was put into a position to fail today.

How is this game Yost's fault?

 

Easily:

1). Doug Davis should have been pinch hit for after the 6th. He already reached 100 pitches and was struggling.

2). After Davis gave up the Sanchez homer he needed the hook.

3). After Davis gave up the Lawton single, he needed the hook.

4). Bottalico was kept in too long.

5). Phelps should have been in against one batter.

6). He should have brought JDLR in, not Bottalico who has been overused and didn't need to come in that situation.

I think starting pitchers need to not go out there in the sititation like davis had. You could tell that he was gassed the inning before.

[stkmtimo]

Sheets4TheHOF - Just what I was thinking! Got that down at the same time.

[WV Brew]

Now the folly of double switching Hall is revealed. Why pitch to Carlos Lee now?

[Sheets4theHOF]

So who's the pinch hitter?

[SoCalBrewfan]

Well, we can't know if a different set of pitching decisions would have made a difference. But everyone paying attention had to assume Davis was done before he started the 7th. A well-rested reliever with a five run lead and nine outs needed...that seems like a winnable situation. A much-less-rested reliever with a four run lead, a runner on, inheriting a two-and-oh count to the other teams' best hitter...still should be winnable but that's tougher odds. And in my mind, that' all a manager can do once the game starts, to maximize the odds for the good guys. Ah well...

[Ennder]

Magruder and Jenkins, this game is a sure thing win now.

[Brian the Automator]

See, now they're playing with my emotions.

[RyDogg66]

DOUBLE SWITCH LOOKING BRILLIANT RIGHT ABOUT NOW!!

 

 

....just like everyone here said the moment it happened....

[WV Brew]

McClendon is an idiot. He was lucky Carlos only singled.

[stkmtimo]

Uh oh. Here comes Chris Magruder to send one into the seats.

[Brewer Fever]

We double-switched Hall out of the game earlier?

 

Damn Yost!

Thanks, that's just what I needed to hear.

[SoCalBrewfan]

Joe Table may be able to match the Brewers' arson-for-arson?

[Brian the Automator]

OH MY LORD.

[Sheets4theHOF]

Holy fricken crap!

[Sheets4theHOF]

Jenks on deck with previous late inning success against Mesa.

 

Anything but a DP here.
