PrintW: Matt Cain (1-0)
L: Manny Parra (0-1)
FanGraphs' Live Data Feed is down, so there's no Win Expectancy Graph, MVP or LVP tonight.
Manny Parra pitched well for his first three innings before the wheels came off in the fourth and fifth, and he allowed five runs on six hits and two walks in 4.1 innings of work, creating a defecit the Brewers were unable to recover from.
Mark DiFelice relieved Parra and allowed a hit and a walk but nothing else in an inning and two thirds. David Riske poured gasoline on the fire in the seventh, allowing two runs on four hits. Jorge Julio pitched a scoreless eighth.
The Brewer offense managed just five hits and two extra base hits, a Corey Hart double and a Mike Cameron line drive that hit Giants reliever Joe Martinez above the right eye. Martinez had to leave the game but was walking under his own power. Hart batted out of the seventh spot in the order and went 1-for-4 with a walk. He also committed one of two Brewer errors: Craig Counsell committed the other. With Counsell in the two spot, the Brewers who started in the first four spots in the lineup combined to go 1-for-14.

It'll be good to get back home
Hopefully playing at home energizes the team.
Counsell was the only one of the top four in the lineup to get on base and he did it twice.

I used to think Suppan was Melvin's worst signing
I have never seen anything in Riske, though. How that guy takes down over $4 mill/year is a mystery to me.

Agree there. His most memorable pitch performance, to me, was when he nearly tanked Bush’s ‘near no-hitter’ game, but giving up a grand slam. Again, that’s the best memory I have of him. Perhaps he had that one one-two-three inning.
How long before someone in the farm replaces him? Because this isn’t a new theme from him.
PensBurgh penalty - Lavender - 2 minutes for hijynxing.
His biggest game in Brewer history, at least by WPA
Was his first one, when he picked up the tenth inning save on 3/31/2008. (+.21)
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
i remember
when the brewers signed riske I thought it was a really good deal. Up to that point he had been a good RP.
I hadn't seen him play
But I remember everyone saying he was a solid reliever, and that it was a good signing. And then, every time I see him pitch, he’s awful. Maybe his pitches used to have movement, but he’s basically throwing batting practice now.

I seem to recall
that at the time it seemed like a pretty good signing…I think his numbers with the Royals were pretty good, though I haven’t check that lately
Brewers Baseball and other assorted nonsense (mostly the assorted nonsense) at my blog, What's a Tararrel?
He was very good at the beginning of the season last year.
He had a pretty good 10-year career before coming here. At some point, the wheels just seemed to fall off.
Exactly!
I’m honestly starting to question Melvins ability to properly evaluate free agent pitchers. Soup, Riske etc. I think he’s pretty good with bat signing (Minus fathead Mench), but misses the boat a lot on pitchers.
but, but...the Sexson trade!
I’m coming around on Cameron, though. He made several tough plays in the opening series, and made them look easy, mostly on balls that could have been stretched into doubles. I hope his head isn’t too messed up from hitting Martinez in the face.

Timber Rattlers just tied the game 1-1 in the bottom of the eighth.
Here’s the link, if you want to listen.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I don't have the box score
But I know he scored the eighth inning run to tie the game.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Rattlers win, 2-1!
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Caught that radio feed just in time to hear the winning hit. This team will be much fun to see in person!

Won on errors
Don’t know if you saw, but I believe we scored all our runs on errors.
Two throwing E5 errors extended the run scoring innings.
Rich Harden
Not the guy I like to see coming off of a series loss. Hopefully he dooesn’t have anything like in his final 2 spring games.
woo hoo
back to the bottom of the Central
Crimson and Cream Machine
Baseball season = Go Brew Crew!
