Today, a full two-days after a semi-controversial scoring decision cost CC Sabathia a potential no-hitter, the Brewers are STILL whining about the ruling that gave the Pirates their only hit on Sunday. Even after official scorer Bob Webb explained himself quite well (the ball was spinning down the third base line away from Sabathia making it a very difficult play for a lefty), both manager Ned Yost and GM Doug Melvin have kept complaining about the call. Yost's latest rant makes him sound like a petulant child. "You picked me last? You can't pick me last! It's my ball, and I'm going home and taking it with me!" Seriously, Ned, get over yourself. If Sabathia had carried a no-hitter into the eighth and ninth innings, he would've pitched differently and the Pirates would've approached their at-bats differently. There's no guarantee the game ends the same way with a different scoring decision. Shut up and enjoy it while your supremely talented team wins the wild card for you and saves your job."I think that whatever it ends up is whatever it ends up," he said. "(Sunday) was the day it should have been a no-hitter. It takes away from that aspect; the celebration with your teammates, the excitement of our plane ride home. That's all gone.
"So whatever they call it, whatever. They missed their opportunity to do it right."
