Daniel Cabrera vs. Seth McClung. Cabrera has more of a track record, but he's still something of an enigma. On any given night, he could dominate, or he could walk every other batter. I still kind of feel the same way about McClung, though with every start, I'm a little less nervous.
Game time is 6:05 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview. You'll be glad to know that McClung has faced Melvin Mora more than he has faced any other Oriole, and our boy has owned him.
Go Brewers!

Hmm
Given Cabrera’s season stats so far I’ll predict Branyan’s line for today as 1-1 with a homer and two walks…

as opposed to...
homer, walk, and two strikeouts?
there are really only so many possibilities.
Also, cheese.

Nervous
Sheets – even his bad games he usually wins, so no nerves
Parra – low, he really seems to be getting in the groove, a bad game for him is likely to be a lot of pitches and a short outing rather than a kerblowee blowout
Suppan – I was pretty confident, but what was that last night? Did anyone hear anything other than Ned’s “he just didn’t have it”? I guess that’s three clinkers for the season, expect the good but not surprised by the bad
Bush – I’ll be nervous through the extension that Melvin will sign him to and forget to announce publicly, but he’s been a lot better lately. Might put him in Suppan territory, expecting good but not surprised by bad – well, maybe after another good outing. It still feels like a tease.
And the big Scot, Seth McClung AKA Chuckie – I’m still nervous and if you asked me before any start prior to the last, I would say he seems like he has a nice tool set for a quality reliever. After the velocity drop on his fastball that comes with starting, I would guess that he would have a much harder time. He’s shown me to be wrong so far, but I still go into the night wondering how he’ll do.

Ned repeated on the pregame show that it just wasn't Suppan's night
I too was very nervous about McClung but I am feeling a lot better about him. He has the tools to be a starter and I didn’t think that was the case.

We should just get morineko's grandma to take care of LaPorta's grandpa
That’ll get him back in the lineup faster.
He's extremely quick and good.

At least it's close already
no need for Torres to put on two baserunners to make it interesting before he retires the side this game…

in other important news...
Fresno State is leading in the 6th. If they win, they are in the finals of the CWS against Georgia. It would be a pretty much unprecedented underdog story.
Also, cheese.

Fresno
beat North Carolina the other day… I care because Rob Wooten pitched like 4 innings. I wanted to see what his velocity was like, but he was only throwing curves- or so it seemed.

so Jeff
does UC Davis have any prospects? Or Cal State Sacramento?
I’m sure Cal Berkeley has a few.

I'm the wrong person to ask.
I don’t really follow the players until they show up on draft radar, and even then I barely notice. I just make sure the database is in working order.
Also, cheese.

okay
because after watching the Madison Mallards one game, I’ve vowed to never again watch any game below AA level unless there’s someone really, really good.
