Follow the jump for tonight's pitching matchup, lineup and more!
Randy Wells (4.10 ERA, 3.45 FIP) allows a fair number of hits (9.8 per nine innings in 2010), but doesn't allow many home runs (just 0.6 per 9). Lately, he's been pretty good at pitching deep into games. Before last week's outing against the Astros, he'd gone at least seven innings in four straight starts and at least six innings in seven straight. He's been worth 2.2 wins according to B-Ref this season, more than any Brewer pitcher not named Gallardo.
Wells throws around 90 (89.8 mph average fastball), but relies heavily on a slider (23.9% of all pitches) and a changeup (19.2%). He has a 3.41 ERA in seven career appearances (including five starts) against the Brewers, and faced them twice in April, allowing six runs on 17 hits over 13 innings (4.15 ERA). Five Brewers have faced him ten times or more:
| Player | PA | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS |
| Ryan Braun | 16 | .357 | .438 | .429 | .866 |
| Prince Fielder | 13 | .333 | .385 | .667 | 1.051 |
| Corey Hart | 12 | .250 | .250 | .333 | .583 |
| Alcides Escobar | 11 | .500 | .545 | .500 | 1.045 |
| Rickie Weeks | 10 | .300 | .300 | .400 | .700 |
Yovani Gallardo (2.77 ERA, 2.92 FIP) is a 2010 All Star, the NL leader in strikeouts per nine innings (9.7) and the team leader in WAR (2.9 pitching, 0.7 hitting for a total of 3.6). He has, however, had two short starts in his last three trips to the mound, and is coming off a disaster start against the Reds on Wednesday, when he allowed five earned runs on ten hits in 2.2 innings.
Gallardo is doing a better job in 2010 of getting ahead in the count, which might account for some of his increased success this season. In 2009, Gallardo only threw first pitch strikes 52.6% of the time. That number is up to 61.6% this season. Four Cubs have faced him ten times or more:
| Player | PA | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS |
| Kosuke Fukudome | 13 | .364 | .462 | .364 | .825 |
| Ryan Theriot | 13 | .400 | .538 | .400 | .938 |
| Derrek Lee | 12 | .333 | .500 | .444 | .944 |
| Mike Fontenot | 11 | .200 | .273 | .300 | .573 |
Tonight's lineup, courtesy of Jordan Schelling:
Rickie Weeks 2B
Corey Hart RF
Ryan Braun LF
Prince Fielder 1B
Casey McGehee 3B
Jim Edmonds CF
Alcides Escobar SS
Jonathan Lucroy C

And in the bullpen:

Todd Coffey pitched 1.1 innings (15 pitches) yesterday.
Kameron Loe faced 2 batters (8 pitches) yesterday.
Chris Capuano pitched 2 innings (37 pitches) Saturday.
David Riske pitched 1 inning (10 pitches) Saturday.
LaTroy Hawkins pitched 1 inning (15 pitches) Friday.
Trevor Hoffman pitched 1 inning (6 pitches) Tuesday.
John Axford hasn't pitched since a week ago today.

I've been away for the weekend but I see that I didn't miss out on a great series or anything.
One against the Cubs is always interesting, though… Hopefully the Brew Crew can just play some good baseball. Or at least less awful baseball than the Cubs.
that's shouldn't bee to hard...
considering the Cubs play baseball like old people fuck. Slow and sloppy.

Cubs fan here.
But I live down in KC and heard this little gem on the radio last week, thought Brewers fans would find it interesting.
Ned Yost was being interviewed right after the Podsednik trade and somebody asked what he’s gonna do now that their “true” leadoff hitter is gone. Yost answered, saying that guys like Getz, Bloomquist, Maier, etc. will get a chance, paused a second, and mentioned that “Ya know, Kendall might get a start or two at leadoff.”
It hasn’t happened in the four games since the trade, but keep your fingers crossed!

The Astros’ performance in the last series puts the lie to the “you can’t throw three lefties in the same series” argument against a four-lefty rotation.
Maybe he should play first base instead. That is, he should lie out there and we can step on him when we get a hit.

Slightly OT...
… anyone else see this quote from Melvin regarding whether there was still a chance at an extension for Fielder?
“It takes two sides to make a deal in that regard,” Melvin said.
I think things might get ugly next year if he’s not dealt this offseason. I’m not sure what else Fielder can really say but his terse quotes regarding the possibility of a new contract are going to wear thin sooner or later as it becomes increasingly obvious he wants to get the hell out of here.

Unless it looks like it's starting to effect his performance, I don't think it'll be an issue for a while.
He’s still a pretty productive and popular player. I think he’d really have to tone up the anti-Milwaukee rhetoric to get people to turn on him.

He's got a near .400 OBP and he's 4th in the NL in home runs.
I know some of his numbers are down a bit, but his numbers are still a bit too good to be asking what’s wrong with him.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Prince charged the mound soon. He seems like he’s getting more and more frustrated with everything this season (for example, getting kicked out of the game last week). IIRC, this is around when he went after Mota and Parra.

He's got a lot to be frustrated about
His pitchers aren’t protecting him, his hitters aren’t punishing pitchers for pitching around him, his manager isn’t defending him, and his GM is dangling him in trades. If when he goes, I’d say only 50-50 he goes off on the enemy.

Also, registered participants are permitted to defend their homes using garden hoses and paint ball guns.

… there was some debate on the paint ball issue. One of the rules would prohibit the TP’ers from being armed, but they have to wear goggles. So if you opened it up for 48 hours, you could try to time your TP raid for when they might be asleep. And if the TP’ers are unarmed, they’d retreat pretty quickly if they get hit with paintballs.

Also, I think you'd have to limit it to shorter periods of time so people who don't want to participate can just stay indoors.

Another problem would be all the paint getting over houses/cars.
I would assume the paint would be washable, but would non-participating neighbors really want there houses/cars to be collateral damage and have to take the time to wash them?
Nope.
And after the first couple of inadvertent paintballs hit/break something, you’re going to have people in their yards armed with things that don’t fire paintballs.
