Milwaukee Brewers @ Houston Astros, 9/19/07, 7:05 CDT

[WEFFPIM]

Oof. Shouse was rocky last inning, why keep him in?

[Jollay]

The Braun thing is a bad idea when its only 2-1 in the 7th.

Bigger lead or its the 8th, good idea.

But alot of managers f### this up, I will cite the Phillies who regularly took Pat Burrell out in close games in the 6th for the some reason.

Not a horrible mistake but another straw in the gigantic haystack that is Neddy.

I like Estrada reaching for the ball and using his legs by the way. Super strategy, leggy.

[WEFFPIM]

We had a late lead with the pen coming in. They had scored 2 runs in 24 innings so far in the series.

And the Brewers scored 15 in the first two games, 2 tonight, and had plenty of opportunities to score more and didn't.

[Kerb Hohl]

Alright, well...now instead of a hill we have a mountain standing in front of us if we don't pull this off. 1 game down with the schedule remaining after this is like 3 with the teams we face.

[crkone]

Horrible call by Yost. Rule #1, Don't bring in T-bow with men on base. Bring in Cordero.

[MadCityBucky]

Game over.

[WEFFPIM]

That'd be game. Who else do you go to in the pen that's not Turnbow?

[WEFFPIM]

1 game back.

Boy, the Brewers should picked the worst game of these three to lose

[Kerb Hohl]

I would put our chances at 10% of coming back from a game down with the schedules on our plates.

No, we can't really bring in our closer who has had two four out saves in the last 3-4 days in a tie game in the 8th with one out.

[trwi7]

Will Ned ever learn to not bring in Turnbow with men on base?

This is the definition of saving the game, you go to Cordero there.

But we can pitch him 6 days in a row in May. Okay just making sure we're clear here.

Oh yeah he also had 2 days off so it's not like he wasn't rested.

[wichmae]

I bring in anyone not named Turnbow..

Its simple
He flat out is back in his funk and just sucks. Im done with him. DONE

5 outs on the road? No, that really isn't an option.

The offense is to blame tonight

You still would be hard pressed to find criticism of Yost for not bringing in Cordero with 1 out in a tie game in the 8th.

Not many managers would do that.

[WEFFPIM]

Wow, swing the bat, Craig.

Sure, maybe it is tonight. But I put the blame 90% on the bullpen. The offense can't score us 5+ runs every night. Bush gets a good start and the bullpen comes in and reverts to its old ways. If the game were 8-7 and the pen came in and blew it we'd blame it all on the pitching. Bottom line, you expect the bullpen to hold onto leads after the 6th inning.

[MadCityBucky]

If only Craig would've gotten on base. I never want to see him on the starting lineup again for the rest of this season.

[Kerb Hohl]

Time for another comeback tease.
