PrintW: Seth McClung (3-1)
L: Sean West (0-1)
HR: Dan Uggla (11), Ryan Braun (10), Jorge Cantu (9)
MVP: Ryan Braun (+1.60)
LVP: J.J. Hardy (-.072)
Here's what you need to know about this one:
Braden Looper cruised through four innings of one-hit ball, throwing 18, 13, 14, and 11 pitches respectively.
The Brewers looked to cruise as well as the fifth inning went
- C. McGehee grounded out to third
- R. Braun safe at first on shortstop H. Ramirez’s fielding error
- P. Fielder singled to center, R. Braun to second
- H. Penn relieved S. West
- M. Cameron walked, R. Braun to third, P. Fielder to second
- J.J. Hardy grounded into fielder’s choice, R. Braun out at home, P. Fielder to third, M. Cameron to second
- B. Hall walked, P. Fielder scored, M. Cameron to third, J.J. Hardy to second
- J. Kendall walked, M. Cameron scored, J.J. Hardy to third, B. Hall to second
- B. Looper walked, J.J. Hardy scored, B. Hall to third, J. Kendall to second
- B. Sanches relieved H. Penn
- C. Hart safe at first on third baseman E. Bonifacio’s throwing error, B. Hall scored, J. Kendall to third, B. Looper to second
- C. McGehee doubled to deep left center, J. Kendall and B. Looper scored, C. Hart to third
- R. Braun struck out looking
So the Brewers led 9-1.
And then this happened:
- D. Uggla singled to center
- J. Baker singled to right, D. Uggla to second
- A. De Aza singled to left, D. Uggla to third, J. Baker to second
- B. Sanches singled to pitcher, D. Uggla scored, J. Baker to third, A. De Aza to second
- C. Coghlan grounded into double play second to shortstop to first, J. Baker scored, A. De Aza to third, B. Sanches out at second
- E. Bonifacio singled to left, A. De Aza scored
- H. Ramirez singled to left, E. Bonifacio to third
- J. Cantu singled to right, E. Bonifacio scored, H. Ramirez to second
- H. Ramirez to third, J. Cantu to second on wild pitch
- J. Hermida walked
- S. McClung relieved B. Looper
- D. Uggla struck out looking
Looper threw 45 pitches and was unable to get out of the inning.
In total, the fifth inning featured 10 runs and 21 batters and took 51 minutes.
Despite all that, the Brewers hung on, Trevor stayed perfect and it was Milwaukee's first win in Miami since April 2007.

Doesn't he always
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
maybe not
in Nashville
"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."
OOps
I don’t want to forget pieces, so I copy an old thread and replace things. I changed the number, but not the person. Doh! Fixed now.

that also was a long intro
maybe the most characters ever for a post game thread? you kind of cheated by copy and pasting a lot of the at bats, but I dont remember a longer one recently
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
Hey
I found out I was doing it in the bottom of the 8th and I also thought that by the time I tried to explain the inning, it was just more concise and clear to post the ABs
It's a weird feeling
being relieved to get to your bullpen…
"You have no honor!" - McClung to Fukudome
OK, I don't get it
Why does McGehee have a negative WPa in a game where he hits a 2 run double?
it was his epic 0-1 2BB 1 RBI batting line =D
positive WPA in a game you give up 5ER and can’t get out of the 5th = Priceless

when there's nine runs total
those two don’t really mean much in the big scheme of things

yeah
i thought that was a pretty epic spontaneous string of good poems
I think we could have the most productive bullpen in baseball
top 6 relievers by ERA:
1. Trevor Hoffman – 0.00
2. Mark DeFelice – 1.16
3. Seth McClung – 2.47
4. Todd Coffey – 2.49
5. Carlos Villanueva – 3.60
6. Mitch Stetter – 3.94
I would trust a game with any of those six guys. Especially with Julio gone and Burns being a serviceable big run differential pitcher / inning eater I think we don’t really have an overall weak link in the pen which is so encouraging.
As long as our starters continue to give us quality starts (and that has been an issue recently) that keep us in the game I am fully confident we will be in a position to win late in the game almost every night.
If we do some how get another good starter to anchor the starting 5 we could do really really well in the regular season and the playoffs
Ring Out Ahoya!
Also love the line up change with Corey Hart
he has gotten hits in 8 of his last 10 games coming into tonight and raised his BA .18 during that time. If we recall last year when Hart hit in the lead off he both had a BA around .300 and also achieved All-Star status. Hopefully this repositioning will continue his recent success.

also unrelated I love Mike Cameron in the 5 but that’s already been addressed
Ring Out Ahoya!
McClung for the win?
I think since Looper didn’t go a full 5 innings, it’s up to the scorer to award the win to a pitcher, but does McClung really deserve it? Looper had a horrible, horrible 5th, but he pitched 4 one-hit innings prior to that. McClung managed 3.1 scoreless innings. I guess I could see the decision since McClung didn’t give up the lead, but it’s still a pretty hard luck no decision for Looper given is start.
I don't know
I can’t imagine giving it to Looper with such a huge meltdown. From a one-hitter to not finishing the inning is pretty awful.

I thought the starting pitcher had to pitch at least 5 innings in order to qualify for a win?
"Cubs fans boo again – 99% of these people can’t see the plate." -Ueck
Yes
The official Rule 10.17(b):
(b) If the pitcher whose team assumes a lead while such pitcher is in the game, or during the inning on offense in which such pitcher is removed from the game, and does not relinquish such lead, is a starting pitcher who has not completed
(1) five innings of a game that lasts six or more innings on defense, or
(2) four innings of a game that lasts five innings on defense,
then the official scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher the relief pitcher, if there is only one relief pitcher, or the relief pitcher who, in the official scorer’s judgment was the most effective, if there is more than one relief pitcher.
So no matter how well Looper pitched before the fifth, not making it through five complete means the win automatically goes to a reliever. The only judgment call for the official scorer is which reliever deserves it and they usually lean toward the first one in the game.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
Thanks for the clarification
But that’s a dumb rule. Well, it’s not entirely a dumb rule. It will take of the situation of when a team finally has the balls to start a reliever and bring in their starter in the 3rd or 4th inning as many of the numbers say they should?
THEN THE WIN WILL DIE
Ahahahaha yesss.
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
I went to George Webb's tonight
Without even knowing we won. I think I was the most excited person in the place… Kinda freaked some high schoolers out and that alone was worth it.

What fun is going to George Webb
if you don’t freak out some underage smokers?
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
Starting pitching
Is it reactive to think that perhaps our starting pitching is regressing to what we expected before the season?
