Risk vs. reward

Pulling Lilly ensures he leaves the game with an awesome line and has a plethora of confidence going forward. If he leaves him in, and the Astros go out and rough him up a bit for 4 runs, then you just erased the momentum created in the last 16 innings. Good call by Lou.

It’s difficult to believe general manager Doug Melvin, who is not a reactionary or knee-jerk person, made the decision to fire manager Ned Yost with 12 games to go and the Brewers tied for the NL wild card lead.

This had to come from the top, from owner Mark Attanasio, for Yost to be fired. With the team collapsing at the end for the second consecutive season, losing 11 of 14 games in September, obviously a “now or never” decision was made for the club.

CC Sabathia and Ben Sheets are going to be lost to free agency after the season, and the Brewers gave up top prospect Matt LaPorta to get Sabathia. So, the team might take a step back for a year or so after this.

Thus, win now or maybe never get this close again. That’s why I think it came from the top. I can’t imagine Doug Melvin firing his manager with 12 games to go.
