SBNation Coverage
Interesting game today. The Brewers broke a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the 8th on Chris Duffy's RBI groundout; they'd loaded the bases on a J.J. Hardy single that had to feel pretty good, Prince Fielder's third walk of the game, and a Mike Cameron flare that Justin Upton allowed to drop in short right field.
The only reason a rally was necessary was because Dave Bush lived up to his stereotype, allowing three solo home runs in the 7th inning after throwing a two-hit shutout to that point. Bush ended up with a quality start, allowing the three runs on five hits to go with a sparkly 7/0 K/BB in his seven innings, but the big innings sure are frustrating to watch.
Prior to the 7th, the Brewers built a three-run lead on the strength of back-to-back solo homers from Fielder and Cameron in the 2nd and a two-out RBI infield single from Corey Hart in the 5th. They missed a chance to add at least one more run in the 6th after Rickie Weeks tripled to lead off the inning but was thrown out at home trying to score on Tom Gordon's wild pitch.
Trivia: Mark Reynolds and Justin Upton also went back-to-back in Arizona's three-homer 7th inning; I'm sure we'll hear soon the last time both teams hit back-to-back homers in the same game.

Iknow it is the tail end of the game
But Turner field looks pretty empty for a Sunday afternoon game.
Not really
but thats why I love the extra innings package. If I want to watch baseball, and all I have is cable, I’m screwed to watch the cubs or Jerry Augustine’s droopy eyes. I can watch any game I want!!! Bwahahaha!!!

It’s only happened twice since 1954.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

He stole five bases in one game in 2000, fully half his career SB total.

If Braun's back doesn't get better by tomorrow
How many Pirates fans will take it as a sign that he’s afraid to play after his comments this week?

Justin Upton
We were sitting out in the Right Field Bleachers today, and we were laying it on Upton. We really picked it up in the 8th right before he missed the catch, telling him how fast he’s gonna have to run, and asking why he’s wearing sweatbands on his arms even though he’s got a longsleeve undershirt. He probably couldnt’ hear it, but once again, I’ll take some credit for the win. We’ll be there again on Saturday getting under Soriano’s skin.
well done TC

If you're still in the right field bleachers, you're going to have to shout pretty loud to reach Soriano.

Cameron
His home run today was also his 1500th career hit.
“(Jason Kendall) told me it’s a compliment of being good – and being old,” Cameron said of the milestone.

Props to Bush
It’s time to dump the “loser” stereotype on Bush, isn’t it?
He’s had three out of four quality starts. Today he was in the 7th with almost ninety pitches (without his catcher in the game) when the roof caved in.
I know it’s hindsight, but Macha’s decision to squeeze more out of Bush was positively Yostian. Pull Bush after one HR probably, after two certainly, but THREE.
Kenny…!

bush=loser?
no, no…that’s Beck.
In any case, I dropped the thought that Bush couldn’t pitch sometime last season.
It looks bad that Bush gave up 3 HRs in one inning, but if you tell me that he will go 7 strong, 0BB and 7K, and only give 5 hits and 3 runs, I’ll take it.
He grooved the first pitch, but the other two guys looked like they golfed a couple of good curves that were a foot off the plate. He struck out two guys that inning, so I ’m going to mark it down as a fluky thing.
Also, some of think that his big trouble comes with guys on base. It may be pitching from the stretch, but he has had a kind of nasty strand rate.
I’m going to overlook the 7th, it didn’t have the spiraling feel of an implosion to me. I think he pitched a fantastic game overall.
Good, helpful comments
I only heard the game on Gameday Audio so your attention to the specifics is appreciated. Bush needs to be used smartly for him to find success in the rotation. I think Macha is the man to do it, with Castro at his side. Yost didn’t seem to get it, sadly.

3 of us Fished Fox all weekend for all species. Jigging and slip bobbers for walleyes only produced one 12’er that my friends son caught so that was way cool.
Drifted for crappies and perch and ended up with a dozen that we kept over the two days. Bass fishing was the most productive and fun. My friends son had a blast learning all kinds of techniques for bass and must of caught at least a dozen fish with the largest being just shy of 19" He also landed 2 northerns and one went 29" that lit up his spinner bait at the boat. all told we landed about 40 bass mostly on spinners and jig & pigs around docks and rocks – with the largest just shy of 20"
Great opener all around specially enjoying it with my friend and his son. Caught just enough pannies and 2 limits of bass to enjoy a great fish fry and blackened bass tomorrow night with the families to top it off.
i think that's the longest comment you have ever posted
is there a sportsman fishing blog on SBN?
If not, I suggest you start one.
