PrintLVP: Trevor Hoffman (-.291)
Trevor Hoffman allowed his first run of the year, and it was a big one. A.J. Pierzynski's two-out RBI single off Hoffman in the 9th inning broke a 4-all tie and provided the margin of victory.
Prince Fielder got the Brewers on the board with an RBI knuckler in the 1st, but the White Sox tied it up in the 3rd on Mark Buehrle's first career home run. Sadly, that is not a misprint; it's the fourth home run the Brewers have allowed to an opposing pitcher this year, all in the last month.
Fortunately, the Brewers had a first career homer of their own up their sleeve, as Casey McGehee took Buehrle deep the next half-inning to put the Brewers back on top. The White Sox answered back with three in the 4th to take a 4-2 lead, but as Mary Nachreiner will tell you, you gotta have Hart; Corey hit solo homers to center in each of his next two at-bats to knot the game at 4. He could have tied the game again in the bottom of the 9th but didn't quite have enough magic in his bat, flying out against Bobby Jenks.

I hate nationally televised games
I’m dreading another drubbing
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
oh no!
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
Hey how about Cam today
Another 0-4 with 2 K’s still wishing they had traded him to the Yankees who would have wanted Cabrera anyway right. I noticed all the Cam for MVP talk has dried up along with his BA.
And another 0-4 with 2 K’s by Hardy who went 0 for the series I believe nice. So how long are we going to wait for JJ to find himself again?
It was nice to see Hart start to come out of his funk the last 3 games they are going to need his bat
and hats off to McGee he has been playing really well
Hopefully Cards lose tonight and Crew will remain clinging to first place amazing how bad they have been lately and still in First place.
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
About Hardy
The guy has had some really well hit balls in just about every game lately, but they somehow find the fielders’ gloves. I don’t think there’s really anything wrong right now, he’s just been really unlucky.

Yeah Hardy has gotten some horrible luck
But Cameron is doing his best Bill Hall impersonation every game
Extremely bad
According to baseball reference, Hardy’s career BAbip (including this year) is .276, but his 2009 BAbip is a tiny .228. He’s due for almost a 50 point increase in BA over the course of the rest of the season.
I might post those numbers over and over just so I remember them, myself.
Cameron has been worth at least 2 more wins than Cabrera this year
You seriously wish he would have been traded for Cabrera? That’s incredibly reactionary.
As for playing bad and still in first… that’s the cool part about starting out well, there’s hot streaks and cold streaks. It’s a nice advantage to have. Now if they get hotter again soon they’re back out in front.
I last May, still no more than Nick Neugebauer not.
reactionary my ass I have wanted to trade Cameron since we signed him
I think that is being very constant if you ask me. Cam will only continue to slide he will avg. his 2-3 k a game and once in a blue moon he will hit a hr.

Jeffress had a lot of walks again-- 6, but good results-- only 1 ER
Peralta 8 to 1 again. That dude is really, really, really good. I like him more and more. He’s flying under the radar, and I hope he gets promoted halfway.
I last May, still no more than Nick Neugebauer not.
Cards down two to the Indians...
This hoping the other teams lose so we don’t lose ground is getting a little old.
i have a reasonable dislike of Bill Hall.

Yes think of the lead the Crew would have if they had even played .500 ball over the last 10 games

At least we won't face Lee...

Lees strike zone
Wow.. that ump sure was generous with that call. Had to be a good 3 inches outside of the plate.
Shades of Ben Sheets striking out 18
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
Wow, under 200 pitches total in the game.
Cliff Lee complete-gamed the Cards in just 93. Time of game 1:58.
Salome doubled three times for Nashville
He went 3-4, and Escobar went 2-3 with a triple and a walk. Cole Gillespie also hit a grand slam. Check out their 5th inning:
* Pitcher Change: Ian Ostlund replaces Kat Maekawa, batting 9th.
* Jason Bourgeois singles on a ground ball to shortstop Donovan Solano.
* Alcides Escobar triples (4) on a ground ball to left fielder Allen Craig. Jason Bourgeois scores.
* Angel Salome doubles (8) on a line drive to center fielder Jon Jay. Alcides Escobar scores.
* Brendan Katin grounds out, third baseman Khalil Greene to first baseman Brian Barden.
* Joe Koshansky grounds out, catcher Bryan Anderson to first baseman Brian Barden.
* Ian Ostlund intentionally walks Erick Almonte.
* Hernan Iribarren hit by pitch. Angel Salome to 3rd. Erick Almonte to 2nd.
* Coaching visit to mound.
* Cole Gillespie hits a grand slam (4) to left field. Angel Salome scores. Erick Almonte scores. Hernan Iribarren scores.
* Mike Burns singles on a ground ball to center fielder Jon Jay.
* Jason Bourgeois singles on a line drive to center fielder Jon Jay. Mike Burns to 2nd.
* Alcides Escobar singles on a line drive to center fielder Jon Jay. Mike Burns to 3rd. Jason Bourgeois to 2nd.
* Angel Salome doubles (9) on a fly ball to right fielder Mark Shorey. Mike Burns scores. Jason Bourgeois scores. Alcides Escobar scores.
* Pitcher Change: Matthew Scherer replaces Ian Ostlund, batting 9th.
* Brendan Katin singles on a ground ball to shortstop Donovan Solano. Angel Salome to 3rd.
* Joe Koshansky called out on strikes.
It was a great selection of awesome.
Escobar's knocking on the door with a battering ram.
I completely agree that Hardy’s suffering from some terrible luck at the plate lately, but it becomes increasingly difficult to see what advantage he offers over Escobar when is OPS is plummeting towards .600.

I wonder if his struggles at the plate are hurting his trade value?
Or will teams look to his past numbers and figure he will get back on track
