Keeping Pitchers in Too Long?

Does Ned Yost have a problem with keeping pitchers in too long? Friday's game at Houston has me thinking that he does.

Of course, this isn't the first instance, but it is the most recent in many cases of a pitcher showing that he is having trouble, and is left out on the mound to deal with it. I know that it is not possible to send in a new pitcher every time on the first sign of a problem, but it seems that Ned only changes the pitcher after it is too late.

Even as I am writing this, the Brewers are getting their asses handed to them in Houston. I've got to go cry now.

Is the solution

To have the bullpen pitch four innings three nights out of five? They’ll have trouble staying effective at that rate.

are the pitchers staying in to long...

or are they just ineffective the third time through the order? if the latter is the case, they should not be starters, they should be long relievers. villy and parra need to get their act together. they both have the stuff to be effective the third time through, they are just feeding pitches right down the middle. perhaps a lack of focus is to blame?

Poll
Jeff Suppan is due to be activated from the DL on Tuesday. What should the Brewers do with the rotation?
  • Insert Suppan and demote Dave Bush to the bullpen.
  • Insert Suppan and demote Son of Clung to the bullpen.
  • Insert Suppan and use Bush and McClung in a home/road platoon.
  • Kick Suppan to the pen and keep Bush and McClung in the rotation.
  • Trade J.J. Hardy for A.J. Burnett and leave the other three guys alone in a room with a sharp stick and the knowledge that there's only one open spot on the team.

Robinade - only 12% juice, but 100% Robin.

I saw it in Pick and Save today, located in the milk cooler area with the other single serve tasty drinks (I apologize for the crappy resolution on my phone's camera... I've dropped it one too many times). I think it was like $1.29, so it's pretty fairly priced and a healthier alternative to the tasty sugar-filled sodas we all know and love.

It's pretty much regular lemonade, but it's definitely good - much better than Minute Maid. My sister says it tastes like Robin's sweat is in it...

How she knows what his sweat tastes like is beyond me...
A Pat Listach sighting!

Read the article.
Awesome!
