We're only one Braves-fan-soul-killing one-run victory away from sweeping one of the better teams in the league!
On the mound today is Seth McClung, in his second start of the year, against Jorge Campillo, in the fourth start of his major league career. I guess the momentum is working for the Brewers, but some of that momentum seems to be based on striking out a lot and hitting into a ton of ground ball outs.
Game time is 12:05 CT. Here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

Soft platoon, eh?
Seems like Campillo would be the sort of righty that Hall might get to face. Not today.

Cubs starting a 4 game series with the Rockies
It hasn’t been a good year for Francis but he has talent and if the Rocks hope for a split getting this game would be a good start. BTW, the Cubs are finally going to get some road games with 16 of 19 on the road after this home stand ends. They have already played 30 games at home and only 23 on the road and they will be +11 at then end of this home stand.

This will be a tough test for them and we obviously need them to give a few games back during this stretch. We finally will have some home cookin’ for a stretch too. Lets go Crew!

Campillo
I was just looking him up as I haven’t seen him before. Here is his movement plot:
Very over the top with a big hook. His curve is decidedly different than his fastball so maybe that will help our bats. The really strange thing is he throws very few fastballs, just under 34 percent by my count. That is ungodly low especially for a starter. The reason, he only averages 87 MPHs with it! Maybe not a great match up for us though as we have been swinging at a lot of bad pitches as a team lately. Gotta make this guy throw strikes.

What’s weird is, according to Baseball Cube, he was signed as a 17-year-old in 1996 by the Braves, then loaned to a Mexican team, and then released less than a year after signing; after that, he didn’t resurface again until 2005.

no more intentional walks
It’s Seth McClung, for crying out loud, he can walk people on his own.

I understand what Dusty Baker said about clogging up the bases.

So Brewers should have 3 runs right now?
Hart’s interference cost them one, and the baserunning of Prince?

Hart's interference caused the bad throw to third
Braun may have been thrown out if corey didn’t move and the baserunning was corey’s fault not prince’s.

Not quite
Hart’s interference cost them a possible steal of 3rd. Assuming that the throw would have gone into the outfield with the interference is a little dicey.

Why isn't Simmons coaching at third?
He’s a pimple on the ass of the dugout, as far as I can tell. Simmons on third and everyone else keeps their assignments. That said, Corey screwed up.

Hart didn’t see that prince stopped and he got in a pickle. Then when corey got to third, prince started going home and was tagged out in a pickle of his own.

Get used to the guy. It wouldn’t surprise me if he is here for a couple more years even if the Brewers don’t make the playoffs. Listened to Cox today on the radio and he used some phrase like “management is fully behind Yost.” Mark A. just gave him his vote of confidence.
Maybe I’m wrong. At least they’ve cut back on the Yost cam.

i doubt he invented it. He probably talks to Ned regularly. Perhaps his GM knows Melvin. You probably know a lot about those relationships.
But you should be happy. Aren’t you a Ned fan?

Not really
Just saying relying on Bobby Cox (one of Yost’s friends) for information on how the Brewers front office feels is probably not the best idea.

It was just one thing
That’s the general vibe I get. Cox, Mark A., Melvin et cetera. But like I say, maybe I’m wrong. Its not unlike the language people use before they send you to the proverbial guillotine.

It sucks to lose today (and there still is a chance to win) but 2 of 3 here is not bad
The Braves are a good team and Sheets didn’t pitch this series. If we can take 2 of 3 when that happens we will be just fine.

We walk 11 Braves and strike out 9 times
and Yost is in his groove, mishandling the pitchers.

Backe, Moehler and Chacon coming up - 3 rightys
So challenges ahead along with some hot bats coming in. Seems like Ned will have to get Billy in there one or two of those days to maintain the “soft” platoon.

why not pinch hit the backup catcher for kendall at the end? Crash doesn’t have nearly the average or ability that he showed in the first week or two. They “need” a 7 run rally to do it, which would require batting around at least once. So tying the game isn’t likely to happen, but don’t you want to give yourselves every chance possible to do so?
