Game Notes:

The National League's second-worst road team and the Major League's worst home team will both try to buck their season-long trends on Sunday, when the Brewers and Braves play the rubber match of a three-game series at Turner Field.

 

A win on Saturday night pushed the Brewers' road record to 21-37, better only than the Pirates in the NL, and dropped the Braves to a Major League-worst 24-31 at home.

Lets go boys, get 2 out of 3 here and that means we won 4 ou of 6 and the last two series. Would be nice to say that. Ohka has to rebound from that 5 run first against the Cubs.

One more thing, if we have a save situation, does Cordero go? He threw a lot of pitches yesterday.

One more thing, if we have a save situation, does Cordero go? He threw a lot of pitches yesterday.

 

Absolutely not. We have two proven all-star closers in our bullpen (Kolb and Turnbow)...why would we need to overwork Cordero? Oh wait....they both stink now.

 

 

Cordero gets the call!!!

Just an FYI for out-of-towners: this game is also on TBS.

Perfect, a sinkerballerhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[princeginterhallhelms04]

I am really just hoping that there is no need for a save today. Although with hudson pitching it could be close. This season however he has not been the Hudson of the past. I am predicting a slug fest!

[brewcrew00]

Sinkerballer who's been leavin 'em up all year long. Let's get to him early here!

 

p.s. I don't think you'll see Gross half-you know what'n it to any balls today http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[PeaveyFury]

Kind of like the lineup today for no real reason whatsoever.

[brettac1]

It doesn't have Bell in it, that's one reason, even though Cirillo sucks against RHP (not as bad as Bell as a Brewer so far, though).

 

And, it doesn't have Mench in it against a RHP.

[thablingster]

We beat Hudson earlier this season, hopefully we can do it again. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Tisko]

Nice to see Rillo get a start. You figure that he might be in for a few more in the coming weeks, Graffy is probably going to need a day off and so will Hall.

[hawing]

The lineup doesn't make me cringe. That's welcome.

 

Who has the 'Tomo/kazoo/fighting Okra' graphic to post? Lacking that for the moment, here is a different attempt at Tomo mojo:

Fighting okra to the rescue!

[hawing]

All right! Double the mojo!

[thablingster]

I hope to see a W when I get home from work.

 

In true Daron Sutton fashion, let's get some runs! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

Great link Hawing.

 

Let's get a road series win.

[Tisko]

Does anyone have a comparsion of Moeller vs. Rivera I have a feeling its riduclous. I would imagine that Rivera has surpassed or at least tied Moeller numbers in far fewer games.

[saget]

What the hell satellite dish. I get TBS every single day but the only day I want to watch it:TODAY: It doesn't come in for some freaking reason. I hate satellite.

 

SBC, you now are my enemy.

[sheetswannabe]

Cirillo is amazing man.

[RightFieldCoder]

 G AB R H RBI Avg OBP SLG Moeller 29 98 9 18 5 .184 .231 .276 Rivera 14 42 5 13 7 .310 .341 .524

 

So Rivera would have to have 4 singles, 2 walks, and one double in his next 58 PA to drop his numbers down to Moellers level. That's a .089/.121/.107 level in 15 games. I'd say Rivera has been much better.

[B2k1121]

Man this is disgusting we can get guys on base with ease but then can't get a hit when it counts.

[AJAY]

Lots and lots of baserunners.

Lots and lots of hard hit balls.

 

But still no runs.

6 LOB in the first 3 innings. Bad things happen when you leave that many onbase and fail to score.
