Enough is Enough

Well it seems Ned Yost finally got a clue. According the Brewers' website, Derrick Turnbow is getting a rest from his closing duties. It looks like Dan Kolb will get the ball in save opportunities, but that doesn't thrill me much more than Turnbow has lately. Personally, I'd rather see Jose Capellan get the ball.

It's honestly way past time for Yost to make this move. Turnbow cost Doug Davis two wins this month, and he cost Chris Capuano his 11th last night. Of course Chris, as gracious as he always is, refused to put the blame on Turnbow, saying he let the Reds back in the game when he walked the lead off batter in the 7th, then gave up a home run. Not many players could be that gracious in that situation, so kudos to Chris.

Does anyone else realize that if the Brewers had back the five games that Turnbow has blown this month we'd be tied with Cincinnati for 2nd place in the NL Central? More importantly, we'd be tied for the wild card. If that doesn't put things in perspective, nothing will.

Until I read the webpage this morning, I was convinced that Ned Yost was going to singlehandedly guarantee that Carlos Lee would be gone in a few days. So I'm glad to see that he's addressing the situation and doing something about it, instead of continuing to trot Turnbow out to the mound to blow game after game.

That's about it for today. Not much else to say. The offense got it done last night, Chris Capuano was back to form, and the defense was there. Once again, the Brewers won a game on the road and Derrick game in and gave it away. Enough said. Here's hoping something different will happen tonight. Until next time, go Brewers!
