Game Thread #31b

M_tiny by Dikembe Meiztombo on Comment 192 comments

I really would not like to be swept by the Astros.  Fortunately, Ben Sheets probably feels the same way.  He's matching up with Chris Sampson, which normally wouldn't feel like a fair fight, but this weekend, it seems like Houston has been spotted three home runs per game.

I answered some questions for the SBN Astros blogger; you can read what I have to say here.  And here's the BR Game Preview.  The action starts at 1:05 CT.

Project-a-tron gives the Brewers a 57.43% shot at winning today's contest.  That's about the same margin by which it favored the Astros in the opener, and we all know how that turned out.

Go Brewers!

 

Old one got too slow

A least there isn't a ton of power in this part of the lineup

But in this park the tying run being up is just not good.

Astros are out of position players now right?

And with the pitcher in Lee’s spot if it gets around to that part of teh order again we can potentially walk Berkman.

Hey Jay

4-11 with RISP sure glad they are above Avg. with RISP or we would really be in trouble.

Its all about the Bullpen this season that is the key.
