Follow the jump for all the usual.
Randy Wolf (7-9, 4.91) has been covered pretty extensively by Jordan recently.
Brett Myers (8-6, 3.10) just this week signed a two year extension to the one year contract the Astro's had signed him to for 2010. He's a decent pitcher who had a really bad 2009. Also, if he happens to hit a Brewer with a pitch, said Brewer might not want to charge the mound--Myers was an amateur boxer as a teenager.
The Lineup (No Cain today):
Weeks 4
Hart 9
Braun 7
Fielder 3
McGehee 5
Edmonds 8
Escobar 6
Kottaras 2
Wolf 1
Bullpen Report:
Trevor Hoffman pitched 1 inning (18 pitches) yesterday.
Kameron Loe pitched 1 innings (14 pitches) yesterday.
Todd Coffey pitched 1 innings (17 pitches) yesterday.
David Riske pitched 1.1 innings (31 pitches) Wednesday.
LaTroy Hawkins pitched .1 innings (24 pitches) Wednesday.
Chris Capuano pitched .1 innings (5 pitches) Wednesday.
John Axford pitched 1 inning (16 pitches) Tuesday.
Zach Braddock pitched .1 innings (7 pitches) Tuesday.

Hopefully this one gets out of hand quickly [in our favor of course]
I have a PPV to watch.
Either Silva’s streak is going to end, or Sonnen is going to pay the price for talking trash.
Nice start!

dick weeks
Almost as fa(s)t as prince
He’s actually underrated, but that’s another can of worms…

weeks hit it hard
Bourgeois misplayed it and kinda jogged and then made a bad throw

High fly ball to the crease in center,
Jason Bourgeois jumped to catch it, missed, ball deflected off the wall and rolled towards right.
Damn
just realized that Cain isn’t starting tonight.
Boo.

Why is the picture quality so terrible
Is this a problem with Charter?
Or are they not broadcasting in HD for some reason?
yes it is
it seems like the score area is the worst part

Huh
since when can that pregnant water buffalo play D so well?

Pretty quiet in here tonight
Is this a result of the fact that the Brewers are terrible, the Packers scrimmage, the fact that its a beautiful saturday night, a combination of the three?
Anyway,
I’m off to the restaurant to watch the UFC PPV
Have fun y’all
Nice grab

knocking in the runs with groundouts and bloop singles. That works.

Who are those

Solid start from Wolf

I was worried he'd be coming back too soon
But it sounded like he was fine.

he looked good

Kottaras!

That HR puts him back over the Mendoza line
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.
Uecker
is worried that another catcher will pass him.

Have
Loe and Coffey been getting a ton of work lately?

The Hoff
is warming.

I am
way too excited for this by the way.

Cain
love that man!
"I've been banging a lot of bratwurst lately".
Uecker during the 8th inning of his first game back
Cain just about fell over on his follow through
"Staying up to watch the 10 o'clock Olds? This just in--Go to bed."
the Prince move
"I've been banging a lot of bratwurst lately".
Uecker during the 8th inning of his first game back
I am actually kinda pumped to see Hoff close again....
nothing against Ax
"Staying up to watch the 10 o'clock Olds? This just in--Go to bed."
nice
just made the same comment above.

So far
this weekend’s series against the Astros has been a little better than last weekend’s series against the Astros.

Made me smile
I love the fans really getting behind Trevor at the end there. I feel good about myself for being a Brewer fan right now. Good win, great game all around.
I think a good way to handle the closer role from here on out....
would be to say, "Ax’ll pitch tomorrow, barring a CG shutout etc., regardless of being a save or not. Next day is Hoff’s, same sitchy! That way, Hoff should get 600, but Ax won’t get rusty and/or crusty…
Good to see Hoffman got the save
Missed the thread, went to see a movie with the kids tonight – would have loved to have seen Weeks’ HR.
It appeared to me to be a team decision
All the guys in the dug out and all the guys in the bullpen were watching like hawks.
But still, the organization seemed to put 600 over a win today. The Ax hasn’t pitched for awhile and the Hoff threw last night.
Hoff's been pretty awesome for the past two months.
Doesn’t hurt to let the kid watch him once in a while.
Are you still reading this?
Well, then, you can head on over to the game recap then.
"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!"
