This was a surprisingly good day.

R.A. Dickey was good tonight, allowing just one run to the Brewers on six hits, striking out four and walking none. Yet somehow, Dave Bush was better, shutting out the Mets for six innings and allowing just three hits and three walks while striking out one. It was Bush's longest scoreless outing since pitching seven shutout innings against the Pirates in April.

Bush also drove home the Brewers' first run with a third inning RBI single, plating Alcides Escobar. The Crew added two more in the eighth on a Ryan Braun double, and that was all they'd need. Carlos Gomez had one of the more misleading offensive lines you'll see for a while: He went 3-for-4 with a stolen base but made a pair of outs on the basepaths, getting picked off first base and caught trying to advance on a grounder.

With John Axford having pitched last night and the first game of the doubleheader, Trevor Hoffman was called upon to record the final three outs and did so in order for career save #601.

He was just a few 3-for-4 games away after all

Assuming tonight's game will be rained out

Gomez needs to go 7-12 in Cincinnati.

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.

So if we win out

Win the next four games and we’ll finish only one game worse than last season. Sure doesn’t feel like we were that good this year.

At this point

I’d rather keep losing to secure a better draft pick

I'd be happier with

losing to get/stay in the bottom 15 so that it doesn’t cost a 1st rounder if we sign a Type A free-agent.

is it?

by PagsBrewCrew on Sep 30, 2010 8:24 AM CDT up reply actions

Yep.

marginal gain from a N+1 pick to an N pick isn’t worth the required extra $ to sign said pick.
