THANK YOU ATLANTA

Milwaukee's anguish sustains me

The Brewer fans can piss and moan about bad luck, calls, etc. but, the simple fact is they went 32-49 on the road. Playoff teams, good teams usually manage to win 40-50 games on the road.

Yeah, and it's not like the umps haven't cost us a game or two over the course of the season.

 

That's just baseball.

[Coach C]

Thank you for not sucking today, Atlanta.

lost in the Cubs good play of late is the two blown calls that seem to go against them every game. today it was Soto pegging Nady trying to steal and someone's swinging bunt that was thrown out at first by Ramirez. this doesn't even mention the generous outside corner Gorzelanny got several times.

I do agree with Yost in that there should be accountability. Umpires blow so many calls, and you never hear anything about them being punished. I'm not saying they should be perfect, but if a guy is blowing too many calls, being overly aggressive or argumentative, or calling an inconsistent or lousy strike zone, he should be fined, suspended or (in the most extreme cases) let go.

 

If you're not going to hold umps accountable, then come up with a plan that allows instant replay.

 

 

All that being said, Ned Yost is a terrible manager and I hope he's in Milwaukee for years to come.

I can't even express how much joy it would bring me to see Yost routinely double switch out Ryan Braun for the next few years.

From what I understand, the umps have a pretty scrutinous and detailed accountability system. There's just no feasible way for anyone to hear about it, because if an umpire is under fire for making bad calls or has been going through a particularly inaccurate stretch, it would be inspiration for a manager's fuse to be that much shorter in deciding whether or not to jump on the guy, calling into play his reputation as an excuse. It's a pretty similar philosophy to why we don't vote judges to the bench.

Could we get a picture of this going in reverse...into a sign that says Playoffs?

It's a still picture, so it could already be going in reverse and we wouldn't be the wiser.
