Considering the state of our pitching this weekend (likely Burns and Villanueva), we could really use a good 7 innings from Looper tonight to save some arms. If the ball gets to Trevor I'd hope it is with a comfy lead as I'm sure there may be some nerves or extra emotion flowing. If we get down I hope they do what they did Monday and just make Swindle eat those innings as he is likely the odd man out when Houdini arrives.

[saget]

We have exactly 60 must-win games left.

 

So, in that spirit: MUST WIN!

[saget]

Also, Padres average 3.7 runs a game and the Crew gives up 4.9 runs a game.

 

That puts the odds in our favor, somehow.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Maybe this pitcher's ballpark can give the pen a little rest. With our penchant for gophers balls, this could be the catalyst we need!!!

[BrewCrewForever]

Come on Snoop A Loop! Go get win #10 and the third Brewers win in a row.

[stalton]

What I want to know is if SD will play Hells Bells if Hoffman comes in for the save....

 

interesting...they played the song before the game

[BrewCrewForever]

Hart sure has made some boneheaded plays lately. What a dope.

[Mr QL]

I wish we still had TGJ.

[ELCABALLO45]

Tony Gwynn!!

 

Its gonna be ackward seeing Hoffman v. Gwynn 2 years later.

[SZBrewerFan]

Wow Gwynn Sr. just said Looper has been the Brewers best pitcher this year. Tony how about you do just a little research before going into the booth. The Brewers have this Gallardo kid that is pretty impressive. Heck...you son may played a game or two with him as he blew by him in the system!

[burniebrewer]

This does not look promising.

 

C'mon Looper.

[sauveb]

Looper just took Hart off the hook. The run is now earned.

[sauveb]

Here we go again. That was 29 pitches in the first inning. Castro needs to start preaching to pitch to contact.

[burniebrewer]

Nice start to our 2nd here. Let's hope this isn't one of those bases loaded, no outs, 1 run innings.

[burniebrewer]

Maybe I should be hoping for that 1 run....

[burniebrewer]

Unreal.

 

All we need is one fly ball, ground out....anything but two K's.

[thablingster]

Maybe we should bat Looper 7th. He obviously knows how to at least make contact. lol

[crewcrazy]

Looper should probably be hitting eighth instead of Kendall. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Love the way he made Gaudin hit the deck.

[burniebrewer]

Again, unreal.

 

We have to rely on our pitcher to knock in runs.

 

Thatta boy, Looper.

[Mr QL]

Looper with the bailout.

 

JJ and Kendall should be embarrassed.

[ELCABALLO45]

Looper!

[brewers19]

Oh National League, you're so wacky.

[trwi7]

Here we go again. That was 29 pitches in the first inning. Castro needs to start preaching to pitch to contact.

Everytime our pitchers pitch to contact the ball goes over the fence.
