IS this a day game because of Summer Fest?

[NievesNoNO]

Disappointed to see Suter again. He is not a MLB arm. He's Espino from the other side. Boo.

Sogard's last 15 games: .285 avg with a .375 OBP. The power has left and he actually hasn't driven in a run in that time (have no idea how many chances he had).

 

Villar since his recall: .235 avg, 2 HRs, 3 RBI, .315 OBP

 

Sogard IS currently in a 3 for 21 'skid' and I know the sentiment is to give Villar a chance to get back to last year's form, but I'm still of the opinion if the opposing starter is right handed we need to have the guy batting first who is going to get on base consistently and right now that guy is still Sogard.

 

I really hope I'm wrong. Pulling for Villar to break through.

Yeah, I don't get just plunking Villar right back in the lineup. Its not like he had a bad month, he was terrible for about 10 weeks.

Miley is a LEFTY

[MrTPlush]

The Brewers are trying to get going a player who put up All Star numbers last year. He is going to get a long leash and understandably so.

[wildcat83]

Crooked number here would huge with the pitchers we need to eat innings today.

[yfinn6]

I love this team.

[wildcat83]

Arcia just keeps hitting!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

First inning runs. Gotta love them.

[wildcat83]

Heck of a start, but gotta keep it rolling. I don't feel like 4 runs will win this game.

[young guns]

Arcia is just a joy to watch both offensively and defensively.

[MrTPlush]

Interesting teams aren't really trying to pitch inside to Arcia. Seems like an effective way to get weak contact out of him. Instead he gets lots of pitches outside where it's easy for him to Hit to center/right.

 

44 pitches for Miley to start it off...nice.

Wow. What an oversight. Villar and Aguilar make sense then. I need to erase the confusion from my brain. Good job Craig!

[sauveb]

Great way to start a series, Miley's 44 pitches could stress their bullpen the whole series.

[liveforoctober]

Let's bounce this guy in the 2nd and have their bullpen take up 7+ innings in game 1.

[wildcat83]

Dang it, don't need that. Hopefully Shaw is ok

[MrTPlush]

3-2 HBP

 

Sums up Wade Miley's day.

[liveforoctober]

injury delay. where did it hit him?

[yfinn6]

7-0 already. Looks like a long day for the Orioles' bullpen, great start to this series (as has been mentioned).

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Crooked numbers in Innings 1 & 2. Suter has to enjoy that type of run support.

[owbc]

Mission accomplished.

[dlk9s]

Phew. I saw Shaw get HBP and in pain and then I left the room, thinking the worst. Came back to see he was still in the game.

 

EDIT: Perhaps I exhaled too soon.

[markedman5]

And that will be all for Miley.......
