I'm very curious as to which game Ned Yost has been watching for the last 20 minutes or so. The game I'm watching has our starting pitcher facing 10 batters in one inning, giving up 7 runs, and being allowed to continue through to the end of the inning. Why, in the sweet name of all that is holy, did Ned Yost let Suppan stay in there for so long when he was getting hit all over the place?

Oh, well they've only scored 2, we can let him finish. They've only tied it now, he can still finish. We're only one behind, he can do it. Three run homer. Shit, maybe I should have pulled him.

I just wonder if these were the thoughts going through Ned's head as we all watched Suppan melt down in that 5th inning.

This is a constant issue with Ned. He is so in love with his starting pitcher that he keeps giving them a long leash and they inevitably hang themselves. Now our offense has to make up four runs because Ned is an idiot.

At least it's only the 5th inning. There's still time. Go Brewers!
