BEAT THE BRAVES!!

[thablingster]

Two guys who started the season as relievers turned starters, this will most likely be a game of the bullpens.

 

Get some runs boys!!!

[Brian the Automator]

It's McClobberin' time!

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

I wonder if McClung can actually go 100 pitches this time.

[And That]

McClung started tiring noticeably after 50 pitches last time, leaving a lot of pitches up... I'm hoping he'll be up 80-85. It still worries me, though, because with a few innings of high pitch counts it could mean he's done after 4.

[Glennron]

Up until today it was uncertain whether or not Campillo would start because of a blister, hopefully it will still affect him, but only for this game of course. I know it's only 31.3 innings but a 0.83 WHIP is pretty crazy. Hopefully he tires after four innings. If McClung recreated his Nats start from Saturday I'd be pretty ecstatic.

[TSack27]

After some nice starts by Bush & Suppan, the bullpen (especially the long relievers) should be well rested... hopefully there won't be a lot of hesitation going to Villanueva or Dillard (or even Tavarez) at any early signs of tiring.

[homer]

Really needed that 8 innings out of Suppan yesterday with McClung going today. I'm sure we'll see Villy and Co by the 5th.

[owbc]

No big deal if he only goes 3-4 innings. Villanueva can usually pitch 4 effective innings before he collapses, so that covers the first 7-8 innings.

[RightFieldCoder]

McClung will pitch a 10 inning no hitter!

 

Then he will be called up to AA.

 

I'm hoping for any type of win that doesn't put a Brewer on the DL.

[bball123h2]

No big deal if he only goes 3-4 innings. Villanueva can usually pitch 4 effective innings before he collapses, so that covers the first 7-8 innings.

VillaClung or McAnueva?

 

[rluzinski]

I wouldn't mind of the Brewers just pinch hit for McClung the second time he comes around in the batting order. Get 4 innings out of McClung and 3 or 4 from Villy.

[uwmbrewers]

Can't wait to see Branyan strike out.

[yfinn6]

Campillo has a great change up. I saw him pitch a bit against the D-Backs over the weekend. That is his best pitch, it looks pretty nasty.

[jhart05]

It's not going to matter today. I feel an offensive explosion coming on.

 

I'm going to say something like an 8-3 win.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

does anyone know what ad is being covered up on the right field wall ? I heard it was an ad for Cruisin Chubbies. is this true ?

[jhart05]

Roof open today!!

[bork]

Will this really be the first game this year with the roof open (according to the JS)? Man, what a "Spring".

[Oldcity]

I'm somewhat surprised Yost doesn't have the forfeit lineup out there on the day game. I also would like to add that I have no idea what to expect in this game with two unproven starters.

[yfinn6]

Seems weird that the roof is open, I talked to my sister in Madison and she said it was in the 50's and kind of raining out.

[sgtcluels]

Yeah theres threat of showers and it seems very... pre-rainy here. I wonder if they'll closer it prior to first pitch.

 

Go McClung? that seems weird to say it.

[jhart05]

pre-rainy

 

 

I like that description. I may have to use that someday.

[owbc]

I'm not sure why they chose today (Forecast: 65 and cloudy) for the first roof open game. There have already been several home games with better weather than this.

 

It is definitely pre-rainy outside. It just started raining in Madison, but it's a leftover MCS from last night and the humidity in Milwaukee is only 33% so I doubt it will hold together. Tonight, it will rain.

[stoops17]

That is interesting that the roof is open.

 

Come on McClung and offense!

[JoeHova]

This might be a stupid question, but who or what is the "BEACH" patch the Braves are wearing commemorating? I may have known at some point, but I can't for the life of me figure it out now.
