CINCINNATI — Milwaukee right-hander Dave Bush will rest his tired pitching arm for five days, pushing back the Brewers’ plans for his return to the rotation.
Bush had MRI exams on his shoulder and arm Friday, two days after he felt tiredness during a minor league rehab start. The results showed no change from previous tests. Bush will rest through next Wednesday, then be examined again.
Bush went on the disabled list June 23 because of a small tear in his right triceps that caused him to feel fatigue. He was 3-4 with a 5.67 ERA.
Milwaukee had hoped to have him back next Monday. Instead, right-hander Mike Burns will start in Pittsburgh. Burns, who was called up when Bush got hurt, is 2-2 with a 5.54 ERA in four starts and one relief appearance.
All-Star outfielder Ryan Braun is out of the Milwaukee Brewers’ lineup with a sore right thumb.
He was given the day off by manager Ken Macha for Saturday’s game against Cincinnati and replaced in left field by Frank Catalanotto.
Braun was hit by a pitch from Cincinnati’s Bronson Arroyo on Friday night. The ball hit Braun’s left hand and right thumb. He stayed in the game and had one more at-bat, grounding out. Braun said the thumb bothered him when he held the bat.
Are we really gonna be this slow again?
Imagine the Brewers offense without Ryan & Prince.

from the JS
FoxSport’s Ken Rosenthal says the Brewers are one of the teams “flying under the radar” in the pursuit of Toronto ace Roy Halladay.
…
Rosenthal noted that the Blue Jays are very interested in Brewers shortstop prospect Alcides Escobar, whom the Brewers aren’t anxious to trade, but accurately noted they don’t have young pitching to trade of any note.
Rosenthal isn’t sure Halladay would approve a trade to the Brewers. He has a full no-trade clause and would have to approve any deal. Rosenthal notes he only wants to go to a “perennial contender.”
The Brewers see themselves as a perennial contender in the NL Central. Let’s see if they can convince Halladay of that and come up with an acceptable package for the Blue Jays.
"my goodness"
Wooo
If he can keep on doing that, he’s solid.

Useless trivia
The home plate ump tonight was behind the plate for J. Sanchez’s no-hitter.

not to take anything away from Sanchez

More useless trivia
“…both [Brian Runge’s] father Paul and his grandfather Ed were Major League umpires, making the Runges the first three-generation umpiring family in the history of Major League Baseball.”
What’s weird is he wasn’t working with his normal crew during the no-hitter. He’s usually with Darryl Cousins like tonight but he was on Jerry Crawford’s crew in that game. I think Crawford is out hurt or on vacation or something so that could be why he moved over for a bit.

One more and I'm done
Runge is one of the few umpires that has actually been suspended for something he did during an argument.

Maybe they will compare him to Derrick Turnbow
If Turnbow was older and put on weight.

Craig's now at his fifth-highest single-season home run total of his 14-year career.
3 home runs=BEAST.
He was so close to having as many career triples as homers, too

Reds radio guy
“Harang has had at least two strikes on every batter this inning.”
At least two? Was there a strikeout I missed?
I come home, turn on the game
and Craig Counsell hits a HR. Awesomeness ensues. This inning pleases me.
Alex Gonzalez mentioned as a starting shortstop
Has he ever actually started for the Reds?

It just always seems like they always say that and he's not playing for a new reason

so i'm curious, because all i have is gameday
are the flyouts from parra deep, or are they routine pop flies so far?

you know, for all this + defense stuff i hear about mcgehee
the last few games have really been poking holes in that.

I would guess so
Hopefully his spot comes up this inning.

The only thing I can figure
Macha doesn’t trust his bullpen that’s down two guys with ineffectivitis to go four innings tonight plus whatever they need tomorrow afternoon. Of course a hit there makes it an even bigger lead…sigh.

121 pitches after that K
Rosales has two doubles off him tonight

A fun 6-4 putout
125 pitches total, a career high. His previous high was 119, done on May 6 this year, also in Cincinnati.

So if this ends up a rain-shortened game
Does Coffey get the save? I assume he does…

I would think so
But the place that I would normally go to check something like that isn’t working quite right this minute.

how long you suppose they'll delay this before calling it?

I have no clue, but they should just do it already
Sources tell me they might start back up as the rain dwindles down though.

I can't believe Macha left Parra in for 124 pitches
Well, actually I can believe it. But it scares me.
It's nice to see that he was able to play that long
Especially since it’s a career high.

I still can't believe they didn't call this game when it was so close to the end
Oh well, I guess. Could always be worse.

DiFelice dominates to close the game.
Need YO to go deep into the game tomorrow. None of this 5 inning 115 pitch crap.
Your post game thread
is finally open after two and a half hours of waiting.
