W: Manny Parra (2-4)
L: John Koronka (0-1)
S: Trevor Hoffman (6)
HR: Prince Fielder 2 (7), Rickie Weeks (8), Mike Cameron (7)
MVP: Prince Fielder (+.445)
LVP: Jason Kendall (-.039)
Win Expectancy Graph
SB Nation Coverage
For almost four innings, it didn't look so good. Manny Parra allowed three runs in the first two innings and John Koronka, making his first start since 2007, was holding the Brewers scoreless. All of a sudden in the fourth, though, Prince Fielder connected for a two-run home run, and after a Rickie Weeks solo shot in the fifth, Fielder hit another two-run shot to give the Brewers a 5-3 lead they never relinquished.
All told, Parra allowed just those three runs in six innings on six hits and two walks, striking out eight. Carlos Villanueva, Mark DiFelice and Trevor Hoffman pitched one perfect inning each to finish the game.

Patented win
I’m beginning to like this
I don't hate Kendall like everybody else, I'm a non-conformist like that.

If, before the season, someone had told you that Rickie Weeks would be tied for the team lead in home runs at this point would you have been happy or worried?

Can't it be both?
More worried though, for sure

I would have been worried.
I likely would have assumed Fielder and Braun were on the DL and Weeks was leading the team with 3.

I wasn't a big fan of the Hoffman signing originally
But damn, he’s pretty awesome.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.

If you're ever in the park when he pitches
it’ll help change your mind even more

I was a little wary after last year...
But I’m sold. I want him next year too.

He's either missing or painting the black with every pitch
It’s remarkable.

its even more awesome
when you’re at Miller Park. I’ve never seen the entire crowd so pumped for every single strike.

Argh
I won’t get to see a Miller Park game until late July

I hope Hoffman gets a save when you're there
because the volume of Hells Bells combined with the crowd is just awesome. No other word to describe it.

it counts on our starters and the rest of the bullpen
doing their jobs…which I was thinking wasn’t going to happen this season. Still a little scared that hoffman will be underutilized, shall we say.

12K to 2BB
That’s a pretty nice effort from the staff. Unfortunately, the Marline aren’t exactly world-renowned for their plate discipline.

Several blogs have something similar.
Really, that sums up my goals for the site pretty nicely, too.

Funny
that is what Nelson told Macha when they sat down for his performance review.

I was at the game tonight.
Looks like things got a little out of hand on the Brenly thread….
Also, FWIW, I’ve gone to 7 games, and we’ve won each one of them. Knock on wood.

I was at the game too...
Did it seem to anyone else that when the Marlins pitched, they got a lot more inside strike calls than the Brewers did?

Did anyone else watch the game on the Marlins' network feed
I watch all the Brewers games at a local sports bar that has directv’s mlb package, and i’m not sure if there is any rhyme or reason to it, but sometimes the game is FSN, and sometimes its the other team’s station. Tonight it was the marlins’, and although i didn’t hear any announcing, the broadcast was wonderful for one main reason:
one of the umpires had a mustache that was clearly dyed/gelled black. i could tell they were repeatedly comparing him to bernie brewer for any entire inning. The next inning they displayed a graphic they had devised themselves: instead of “just for men gel”, it was “just for umps gel”. hilarious.

I saw some of the Marlins broadcast.
Someone e-mailed them to say what a bad statistic “Game winning RBI’s” is. The e-mailer said that OBP was more important.
The boradcasters went into the whole thing about how you need guys to get on base but that you needed guys to hit in the clutch too. They talked about how Cantu was a clutch hitter, and then said “the good thing about stats is that you used to perceive that a guy was clutch, now you can prove it with stats” o.O

Cantu is godly on 0-1 counts this year

Prince is our best player
Prince was awesome last night, the place exploded when he hit his 2nd homer. For anyone else that was there, what song played when he came up? It sounded pretty sweet.
by brewboy32 on May 13, 2009 8:18 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I dislike that song
If it was the same one he played over the weekend, it was the only player song I didn’t like in fact…
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
