[Pedro]

Aren't I supposed to be having fun during a pennant race?

Well, if swearing at Yost on the TV is fun, then I guess I am...

[sheethead]

Good Lord Stetter pulled a rabbit out of his hat on that line drive!

[jlau20]

Cordero better be in next inning, tied or ahead. Ridiculous.

[jflick1215]

I am honestly just shocked that Stetter got that out. Granted, it was a shot...but just shocked. Now, on to extras. Please, let's get this in the 10th, and spare the russian roulette game that Yost will play.

[EdgarDiazRocks]

Aquino is ready for the 10th!

and save seth mcclung?

that's not how ned rolls.

[Brewtacular]

Joe Winkleass is on his way to the ballpark if this thing goes to the 11th. No fear!

[MoneyballMan]

Aquino is ready for the 10th!

Nothing would surprise me

[giffted1]

Wow. Well, this'll remove whoever's left on the Ned Yost bandwagon. And I say this being remarkably neutral (for this site) on the topic.

Not yet.

[rluzinski]

I don't care what happens in the top of the 10th, you have to use your best reliever to face the top of the order in extras. I know managers don't but gosh, it's a no brainer.

[Oldcity]

We better hope we score this inning, otherwise it's Greg Aquino for the tenth.

 

Crap, I see someone beat me to that joke. (please let it stand as just a joke)

[hurricanecrush]

I honestly have no idea what Ned Yost thinks during a game.

 

"

Oh, those Golden Grahams.

Oh, those Golden Grahams.

Crispy, crunchy, graham cereal,

brand new breakfast treat..."

 

For 9 innings.

This will keep me laughing through the tears if/when this one gets lost.

 

I was thinking, "BaconbaconbaconbaconbaconBACON!!!!"

I was thinking: "Cheese sandwich... did someone say cheese sandwich?"

 

[PeaveyFury]

No problem kg.... we tend to limit the abbreviations too.

[pitchleague]

just missed, Princey! DArn it!

[MoneyballMan]

Aren't I supposed to be having fun during a pennant race?

Well, if swearing at Yost on the TV is fun, then I guess I am...

No kidding. I'm about to trash this hotel room.

[Trowekamp]

Let's face it.. any bullpen move right now that isn't Cordero is like picking the best food at a KFC buffet two hours after they stopped serving.. nothing will sit well so be definition all moves that don't involve Cordero are horrible...

 

With that said there is not way the following players aren't in the lineup every single inning of every single game until Spring Training:

 

Hart

Hardy

Braun

Fielder

 

Maybe Ned thought this was Little League and you could double substitute.

[trwi7]

Wouldn't Cappy here be a good idea if he's not going to use Cordero? I mean if Sheets can't go wouldn't you rather use Vargas on normal rest?

[jason21nl]

I don't care what happens in the top of the 10th, you have to use your best reliever to face the top of the order in extras. I know managers don't but gosh, it's a no brainer.

 

did you just use the word gosh?

[Mike Felder]

Crap...he hit that hard.

[Trowekamp]

I think we need some Cheese Sandwich power to pull this one out..

[PrinceFielder28]

Wow good thing Lidge didn't pitch like this an inning ago

[Menotti80]

pinch hit billy here

lol

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I hate to interupt the Yost bashing...but how cool was Rickie's homer!!! I don't know what's in the water down at Nashville...but I'm going to retire there!!!

 

We're watching baseball in September...don't forget to smell the Roses!!!

[pitchleague]

boy, Gross hasn't done much this series. Change that NOW Gabe!

[SeriesFinale]

I'd love to see role-player Gross hit a "Yost at Fenway"-type bomb here

[Patrick425]

The problem is that if the Brewers do manage to pull off the win here, Yost will believe he made all the right moves and will continue to make these types of moves in similar situations going forward. Not that he ever learns from his mistakes anyways!
