The less said about last night's game, the better.
Tonight, it's Dave Bush against Greg Reynolds. Reynolds is likely to become one heck of a pitcher at some point, but the signs so far suggest that he hasn't yet.
Game time is 7:05 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

Missed it after Milwaukee TV abandoned covering anything but weather. Must have been good though if it gets a detailed write up at the MLB Cubs site.
Looking at the gameday postage stamp size highlights, it looked like Fukudome had a ball in his glove that he dropped. Difficult but he had it and dropped it. First time I’ve seen him dive.
Anyone see the Ramirez error. I couldn’t tell what happened from the mini-video. Ball in the dirt that Lee couldn’t dig out?

Did he really kick a gatorade cooler in the dugout?
Sorry I missed that.

What a difference an X makes
I’m not sure that anyone wants horses to see better. Something that prevents a lot of blood from seeping onto the track might be handy, though.

Hm...Do you think
we could train a horse to hit homeruns for us?

Wow
really bad weather in the Milwaukee area. Thunderstorms, tornados, etc.
I don’t think the roof would be open if the game were in Milwaukee.

General question
Does anyone really care about Manny’s 500th HR or Griffey’s 600th? Tired of seeing that damn MLB promotion everywhere!

They cut out of a tie Cub game in the eighth last week
to show a Ramirez potential 500 home run at-bat. That drives me nuts.

Good news, campers!
- There is substantial grit in the leadoff spot
- Yost has a specific strategy to avoid hitting into the triple play
- Guillermo Mota is the “8th inning guy”
If that isn’t enough to make you happy that rain has knocked out your satellite, I don’t know what is.

Yay, preparing for unexpected outcomes and not putting players in position to suceed!
- Hasn’t OPS+ ed over 100 since 2000
- Has happened twice this year
- Hasn’t ERA+ ed over 100 since 2004

Anything interesting goin on in the minors today battlekow?

Alex Periard’s having a good night, with 6 K in 4 IP. Everyone always says he has the stuff to strike people out, but just…doesn’t. He’s another Canadian guy, btw.
Jonathan Lucroy is pissed that the Brewers drafted a catcher, so he took it out on the baseball. Matt Cline’s homer, I have nothing clever to say about.
He's extremely quick and good.

Damn you, WMLW
My antenna is able to pull in this game. Assuming the National Guard hasn’t commandeered Craig Counsell to use in holding back the flooding, I guess I’ll get to witness this game, after all.

Greg Reynolds is really not good
They need to take some pitches. I don’t like this.

What's not to like?
Counsell led off with an out, killing any chance of a triple play. Take that, Hurdle.

Maybe Bush will do his thing where he has the 3 or 4 scoreless innings in the middle and his pitch count keeps him from completing the other bookend.

I'll bet that Colorado's
done for the night. (Knock on wood.) The Brewers have a chance, its only the third, and they’ve been scoring some runs lately.

Dillon has really not been getting the job done recently with those pinch hits. He didn’t get the run in yesterday either.

How dare you say Dillon is anything but the best man for every situation? Well, behind Kapler.

I guess he strikes out a lot but when he hits them they tend to be sac flies.

DeMuth doesn't seem to be favoring anyone
but his strike zone is fluid to say the least.

And he is in
Not that this is anything you guys don’t know but JDLR is about as wild as they come. He easily could put a few more on base here quickly.

Ned's postgame - stoic or salty?
The phrase “left a couple pitches up” is a given though.
by ol Pete on Jun 7, 2008 9:20 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I am going to go with stoic
Seems like a game where Ned will chalk it up to just not our day.
by dixieflatline on Jun 7, 2008 9:25 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
“He pitched pretty well, you know, just left a couple pitches up there in the first inning, but then he settled down. We had to get DeFelicey in for some work there.”
by Jordan M on Jun 7, 2008 10:02 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Considering that he can be pretty bad and Ned describes it as “great,” “pitched pretty well” is probably close to blew chunks after you run it through the Yost translator.

Sparky has decided that there is absolutely no reason not to bring up Gamel now and send Branyan back down.

Seven games under .500 on the road
Which is unusual for a Ned Yost led club. Normally it’s as if we had all nine LaPorta’s playing, and each one of them thought the opposing pitcher had slept with their girlfriend/s(still haven’t figured out the proper plural when speaking of The Nine).
