Brewers 5, Marlins 13

by BrewHaHeather on May 31, 2010 3:04 PM CDT in WPA Game Recaps

W: Jorge Sosa (1-0)
L: Chris Narveson (4-3)

HR: Corey Hart (13), Cody Ross (5), Cameron Maybin (5, inside-the-park)

MVP: Corey Hart(+.082)
LVP: Carlos Villanueva (-.330)

This game was very enjoyable. For a while.

Chris Narveson was cruising along, not allowing a run through the first five innings. Meanwhile, the Brewers got out to a 4-0 lead on the back of Corey Hart's 13th homer of the year and RBIs from Ryan Braun and Rickie Weeks. In the top of the sixth inning, the Brewers had the bases loaded with only one out and Narveson lined out to second base, and George Kottaras was doubled off first. Oh, how the momentum changed.

With two on and two outs in the bottom of the sixth, Macha went to the mound, looking like he was going to take Narveson out. But he didn't, and the Narv-dog promptly gave up a three-run homer to Cody Ross, tying the game. Things only got worse from there.

Carlos Villanueva finished off the sixth inning, but not before allowing two more runs of his own. Marco Estrada allowed four runs in the seventh, with a little help from home plate umpire Bill Miller, who completely missed Dan Uggla not touching home plate for what would have been the third out. Jeff Suppan allowed another two runs in the eighth.

Boy am I glad we have an above replacement level GM.

Can you imagine how bad our pitching would be if he was replacement level or worse?

It looks to me like

Prince is sitting on top of the plate more than we has been in the past. I went back and looked at some old video and he used to be back further from the plate. Edging closer might be an instinctive thing to do to get a better look at the pitches, but it keeps him from extending his arms, and that’s why I think his power #s are down.

It's nice to see we are not talking about

public executions. ;-) (it’s still only a game)

I feel badly for Narveson (among others). He’s got to be looking over his shoulder with Cappy in the wings. Very solid outing for five. That should still count for something.

Hang this one on the manager. Got greedy, trying to “save” his bullpen. Sounds like a page from the days of Yost….

Um

you do know that Cappy already took someone’s spot in the rotation, right?

Shruggity.

how would it have been better going to the pen earlier?

they gave up 9 runs or so after he was out, and he left in position for a no-decision.

by PagsBrewCrew on May 31, 2010 3:46 PM CDT up reply actions

Agreed

When I saw Macha leave the mound with Narveson still in, I was screaming at the TV for them to go to the pen.

It looks like it wouldn’t have mattered… since the pen got rocked too.

Oh well, I’m sure they gave joy to most of the 10,000 fans in attendance.

Hang the manager?

I am in.

Nice one with the "Graph of Sadness"

Tomorrow, let’s try to make sure our pitchers have the “Amulet of Endurance” and the “Ring of Effectiveness”.

I want some

This is fucking bullshit

I was listening to the game on my way home from up north and we had a 4-0 lead, and this if the end result?!?! Fuck this shit.

Yeah, well, sometimes I drink.

Nah, homie. I don't go after individuals.

I’m just unhappy.

Read a good article

suggesting that the Brewers hook up with the Mets and swap Suppan for Oliver Perez and about $8 million. I like the idea. At this point, I’d take Meltdown Bradley for Suppan. Perez has at least shown shades of potential in the last three years.

by Captain Howdy on May 31, 2010 5:23 PM CDT reply actions

No way.

Suppan at least will be gone next year. Trading for Perez would stick us with him.

Shruggity.

by Mykenk on May 31, 2010 5:45 PM CDT up reply actions

If you had asked me in spring training

I would have taken Perez. He’s only 29, he might have a good year hidden somewhere in his arm – Suppan is toast, and so is this season.

by nullacct on May 31, 2010 5:50 PM CDT up reply actions

In spring training, maybe

now, definitely not.

Shruggity.

by Mykenk on May 31, 2010 5:52 PM CDT up reply actions

The idea is that Peterson supposedly believes he can fix Perez again.

by Zeyes on May 31, 2010 6:40 PM CDT up reply actions

Because he has nothing to keep busy with already, right?

I went to the Royals game today and saw...

A group of fans with matching shirts that said “I have a YOST infection”… I chuckled…

Goooooo-mez!

If Suppan were a dog...

Melvin would be telling us that he went to a farm up north where he’d have plenty of space to give up runs.

I hope Suppan runs away.

Don't hold your breath

More than likely it’s Estrada that gets sent down. And then in a week when Riske is back, it’ll be Braddock.
