Win Expectancy Graph and Star of the Game Voting
SBNation Coverage

This is what I get for saying that Randy Wolf has pitched well lately. But at least the offense helped to make thing interesting. Wolf only lasted 5 innings and gave up four runs on 7 H and 3 BB; two of those walks were to Manny Ramirez.

The scoring started with a solo home run off the bat of Andre Ethier in the third. The Brewers briefly took the lead in the bottom of the fourth when they scored three runs off Dodger starter Hiroki Kuroda, with RBIs from Corey Hart, Ryan Braun, and Casey McGehee. But the Dodgers got all those runs back in the top of the fifth when they got three more off of Randy Wolf. They added another run sixth against Mike McClendon who allowed his first earned run in the big leagues. Congrats, Mike!

The Brewers would get that run back in the bottom of the sixth with an RBI from Rickie Weeks, bringing the Crew within one run. But that would be all, as the Brewer bats fell silent thereafter. The Dodgers bats also fell silent as McClendon, Kameron Loe (again), and Trevor Hoffman held the Dodgers scoreless for the final three innings. Joe Torre did his best TLR impressing in the ninth as he used three pitchers to face three batters, making sure to prolong our eventual loss.

I just read the game thread

you’d think Parra started the game based on the frequency of comments
….bordering on obsession, isn’t it?

BUT something new (for me) was offered:
I think the Huston Street comment about Macha having serious problems with in-game management of his bullpen in Oakland confirms what most of us have felt, especially this season.

This team will likely not improve with him at the helm.

So

the bullpen has been pretty damn good, yet Macha’s been mismanaging it?

For what its worth

I didn’t think Parra had asked to be removed from rotation, and that seems to be correct

Oh c'mon

BA and Rock said he did, so he MUST have. I mean, when have BA and Rock ever been wrong before?

please notice the sarcasm dripping off of this post. Sorry about the mess.

BA & Rock

make up more things that Uecker, which is hard to believe. The entire Brewers announcing crew is terrible when it comes to reporting. Granted, that’s not really their job, but you’d think they’d at least try.
