2nd to post in the in game thread again.. once again following wibadgers , = SWEEP!

[cruiserx43]

Think this would be a good start for Ben to break out of this little mini funk he has been in since the all star break. He obviously had some good stuff working against the chubs, but the collapse was just as bad. A solid 7 would be nice. Campillo appears to be a nice little pitcher for the Braves as well. Get em Crew.

Yep, let's keep it going http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[owbc]

I still haven't mentally recovered from the Cubs series, but a sweep would go a long way in helping that.

[yount19.u]

Here's to Ben breaking out of this funk and going 7+ innings with a win. And here's to hoping Yost has Kapler in center, Durham at second, Counsell at short, Branyan at third and Rivera at catcher today. Too much to wish for?

[Vgmastr]

Brewers are 6-2 against the Braves this year, with both losses coming with Campillo starting. Hopefully they can figure him out this time.

[jason21nl]

Sheets needs to find his groove again, hopefully he goes at least 7 and gets the win

[zelouswheeler4prez]

jorge campillo starting? outlook is very bleak.

[bucks2281]

Lineup, per TH

 

2B Ray Durham

SS Craig Counsell

LF Ryan Braun

1B Prince Fielder

RF Corey Hart

3B Russell Branyan

CF Gabe Kapler

All but Rivera, not too shabby. Kendall must have come with a one-year money back guarantee.

 

[RoseBowlMtg]

I love the lineup! Let's get 25+ pitches in the first. Durham, Counsell and Kapler should really wear out the pitcher. Sheets will shine today!

[saget]

Sheets needs to get his ERA under 3. I demand it.

[zelouswheeler4prez]

jeff grayson just said zoinks

[dpapo]

Did Mike Rivera piss Yost off. Does Yost have a man crunch on Kendall. By September, Kendall is going to be so tired that he's not going to be able to hit the ball out of the infield. Hope some of the bench guys played well today and the Brewers sweep the Braves.

[ninja33]

i agree that rivera should be getting more time (probably a start a week), but i wonder if it has something to do with the pitchers' comfort level with him. Has he caught sheets at all this season?

[jason21nl]

I like the line up today with the idea of taking some pitches. Not a fan of Counsell starting a couple times a week, but I'm cool with it for today

Hey, not bad. I wonder if Yost is scared of Kendall. He does look kind of mean.

[Vgmastr]

Rivera has caught Sheets once this season, June 12 at Houston. Brewers won 9-6, Sheets went 7 innings and gave up three runs.

[hawing]

Now, if only the Brewers could capitalize off a botched first-inning double play...

[sauveb]

18 pitches for Campillo in the first. That is a good start. If we keep it up he will only go 6.

[yount19.u]

and no strikeouts.

[2008 world champs]

I am the biggest Mike Rivera supporter. I actually think offensively he may be better then Kendall. Anyway, what does over working Jason Kendall really do to benefit this team? I can't think of any arguments for it. He is just going to tire early. It's not like Rivera is being saved for the playoffs. I hope we see a lot of Rivera in September. Heck, maybe they will call up a 3rd catcher when the rosters expand.

[owbc]

Not a good start for Sheets. The first inning always seems to get to him.

[sauveb]

A third catcher in September would be nice because then Rivera could at least be used to pinch hit.
