SBNation Coverage
A game that started out painfully slow only got more painful as the night went on.
The Brewers picked up right where they left off last night, leaving too many men on base and missing countless scoring opportunities. Such as in the third when the they couldn't score with runners on first and third and only one out. Or in the fifth when Casey McGehee hit a rocket to left that Seth Smith caught, and was able to double Ryan Braun off first. Or how about in the seventh when Jason Bourgeois left the base loaded. Total left on base: 27
Of course not all scoring opportunities were missed. Prince Fielder hit his 44th homer of the year in the second. Jason Kendall added another run in that inning, driving in McGehee on a double that nearly went out. Mike Cameron hit one out in the fourth and Jeff Suppan drove in Alcides Escobar later that inning with an RBI groundout. Jason Kendall added another RBI in the seventh and McGehee finished the scoring in the ninth with a solo home run.
Jeff Suppan, who has had pretty good numbers at Coors Field in his career, saw those numbers take a big hit tonight, as the Rockies hit just about everything he had. Soup allowed eight runs, all earned (although a few misplayed balls added to his dificulties), in six innings. He also had three wild pitches, two of which allowed a runner to score. Chris Smith came in in the seventh and allowed a two run homer to Troy Tulowitzki. John Axford followed Smith and pitched a clean eigth.
The Rockies win and Braves loss tonight brought Colorado's magic number down to one.

27 LOB?
Wow. That’s not easy to do.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
I'm guessing she was adding up each player's individual total of men LOB
Rather than the team total.

Team LOB was 11
27 LOB refers to runners left on after every out. Escobar struck out swinging with one out in the 7th – 3 LOB for him in that AB.
I think it’s dumb to tally that way – one example from last night: Kendall got 1 LOB for striking out (and throwing his bat to short) with Escobar on 1st. Escobar wound up at third on the wild pitch and later scored, so the team had no LOB that inning.
You know me Al.
So Kendall can throw a bat farther than a baseball?
Cards Announcers On Gamel's First Career HR, "That’s all they need is another home run hitter".
I was too lazy to go back and count how many total baserunners were LOB
so I just used Gameday’s number. I know its misleading, but 27 gived you an idea of how bad they were with RISP tonight.
"my goodness"

Scroll down a little farther, gameday has team LOB right above the baserunning stats.
For future reference :)
Yeah, I didn't mean anything toward you
I just think it’s silly Gameday (and Yahoo, etc.) count that.
You know me Al.
please let that be the last Suppan start ever

Nope
It’s not even his last start of this year.

additional nickname for soup
I remember as a kid calling Geoff Jenkens “Gee-off.”
So, I guess that makes Suppan “Jay-eff.” Maybe we can combine the names? “Eff-off”
Can I have the Jay write up one of his 1920s reporter game reports tomorrow?
I want to see who’s the Bees Knees
"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."
I'm open to it if he is.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
