SBNation Coverage
In a turn of events none of us would have seen as likely a week or two ago, the Brewer bullpen kept the Brewers in the game and carried them to victory tonight.
It wasn't Dave Bush's best night, to be certain. He allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits in five innings, and the Pirates scored in the third, fourth and fifth innings to run out to a 5-1 lead. But the Brewers scored two runs in the bottom of the fifth and three more in the bottom of the sixth (including a go-ahead two run homer by Rickie Weeks) to take a 6-5 lead, and Jorge Julio, Mitch Stetter, Todd Coffey and Trevor Hoffman each pitched an inning of scoreless relief to close out the game.
The top of the order carried the load tonight offensively, led by Corey Hart, who went 2-for-2 with a double and three walks. All told, the top three spots in the Brewer lineup went 6-for-12, were on base ten times, scored four runs and drove in four. Six Brewers drew a walk in the game, as the Pirates gave out nine free passes.
With the win, the Brewers have inched back to .500 at 10-10, and get another chance for their first sweep of the season tomorrow.

victory is so sweet
especially when Bush beans three Pirates! I didn’t see the game, just the box score. Anybody fill me in? How did he not get ejected?
They were all just barely grazed
They weren’t hit intentionally; if they were, Bush has amazing control and is just full of crafty grit.
Brewers Baseball and other assorted nonsense (mostly the assorted nonsense) at my blog, What's a Tararrel?
Yeah whatever
The length of the Brewers games means that viewers missed the first 20 minutes of The Bonnie Hunt Show. I can sense that Milwaukeeans are ready to rip the city apart.

Whoa
The only time viewers in Milwaukee can watch The Bonnie Hunt Show is on WMLW at 10 at night. That’s…bizarre.
No station in the country broadcasts The Bonnie Hunt Show later than Milwaukee does.

The fuck’s a Bonnie Hunt?

just got back from the game
nelson looked abysmal, back to aaa with you, but a good win for the crew. can’t explain how pumped hells bells got me, first time i’ve ever cheered for a ac/dc song, that’s for sure.
Honest to God, has Nelson even managed to make contact at the plate yet?
Every time I see him he’s flailing away at pitches in the dirt. I feel bad for the guy, especially when the boos started today, but he looks completely overmatched.

I agree
I like pulling for him and Duffy, but man, his only value so far has been to work the count before making the inevitable out. Then again, who are we going to replace him with? I can’t see putting Gwynn back on the 40-man roster…

Rhymes with "camel"
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
He's certainly hitting well enough
though without a place to put him regularly, I don’t know if they will.

For his replacement ...
I’m guessing Stache prefers Nashville Sounds batting leader Adam Stern.
(Canadian.)
I pitch for the Hebrewers.
Did I read that right?
Corey Hart went 2-for-2 with
(bear with me, this is where it gets weird)
three walks
That brings him to 11 for the season so far. He had all of 27 last year and didnt get his 11 until the 43 game of the season on May 17th.

i'll bet
he had a few IBBs early last year. That was before pitchers figured out how much he flailed at sliders.

It seems like the team is trying to do better with walks
Except for Bill Hall for some reason…
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender!"
RIP Nick Adenhart: Stop Drunk Driving
you forgot about Weeks
His walks are WAY down.

we'd be stuck in fantasy land
if it weren’t for weeks making an error every game
keeps us grounded
but it also seems like he is hitting a home run a game lately so I will take it ;)
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
