cooper leaves backe in when he clearly didnt have it and was getting shelled, and gave up 2 more runs then necessary, now he's unnecessarily burning a pinch-hitter for him? let the guy hit for himself.
Do you think the exact same thing would have happened if Lee had not been out? For one thing, the pitcher would have been in the stretch rather than the windup.
Given up three two-run homers in one game to account for 6 of the Brewers' 9 runs, and two more solo shots to account for two more. Good gosh, the Brewers are feasting on Astros pitching the last two series. 7 homers in Milwaukee and now 5 more today.
1 run game in the 8th inning, and cooper leaves his 3 best relievers on the pine while the game gets out of hand. cecil cooper is in over his head, folks.
if they put valverde out there for the 9th in this game, when we are playing another game in 15 hours, i'm gonna lose my mind.
Does he not discuss a game plan with his bench coach then? Or did he specifically tell him to leave in the useless muppet Sampson so he could blow the game for us
