Yost pointed to Shouse two batters late

The Brewers' 3-1 matinee loss to the Philadelphia Phillies obviously goes mainly on the anemic offense... but I'd say it partially goes on the manager's handling of the bullpen as well.

I just got done watching the Brewers Squeeze Play replay of the game. Here's what I saw. In the eighth inning, RP David Riske was working. He got the first two righthanded Phillies out on strikes. Philadelphia then had two lefthanded batters come up. Yost had Brian Shouse up and warm but Yost decided to stay with Riske.

The first lefty walked. The second was Chase Utley, and he singled. That set up Pat Burrell's two run double to left (which Brauny took a preposterously shallow attack angle on, thus allowing the second run to score, but he's still learning). After Burrell, Yost went to Shouse. Brian retired the next batter -- a lefty -- on a little dribbler to the right side of the infield for out number three. But the Brewers already got the needle and the damage was done.

My beef: I can see Yost allowing Riske to go at the first lefty, but after he walked him, Riske had no business facing the dangerous Utley. That should have been Shouse's man.
