Josh Lindblom: Batter (Reds) vs Pitching Stats

 

Wade Miley: Batter (Brewers) vs Pitching Stats

[Eye Black]

Well the team lineups are posted. Still not sure who exactly is pitching for the Reds, however. Based on the righty stack I assume Wade Miley?

[homer]

I am one beer and one old fashioned into the evening. I like our odds.

I’m feeling confident as well. It’s either the alcohol or the 1.066 OPS the Brewers hitters have against Wade Miley talking.

[wildcat83]

I like this lineup.

 

Hope Lindbloom is effective early instead of have to settle in after 3 early runs...

At least I only have to listen to Tim Dillard try to be funny for 7 innings instead of 9.

At least he brings some personality to the booth. Rock has the personality of, well, a rock.

I remember people always thinking Dim Tillard was the next great TV guy.

 

...erm, I’m not to sure about that.

Hard to get a lot of experience in the booth when you are pitching up to, well, a few months ago.

After the Cardinals pulled off an improbable comeback win against the Royals last night to avoid losing that series at home, the Pirates flew into St. Louis for a one day double header and raise the Jolly Roger by sweeping the Cardinals. The Brewers series against the Pirates this weekend with a looming trade deadline seems very important.

He’s trying too hard.......but it is his first time so I’ll give him a little slack.

[MrTPlush]

Ryan Braun had one of the worst ABs of the year. Looked like an AL bullpen pitcher having his first AB since little league.

First inning offense continues to shine......

He’s provided some good insight, then just awkward at times. Probably takes a little to get comfortable in the booth.

Braun has an alarming amount of really ugly looking ABs for a veteran of his experience. I don't deny his swing can look great when he's right, but for someone in his 14th season it's surprising how often he goes up looking like he has no clue.

[markedman5]

So we have 3 decent to good starters and then 2 days of Houser and Lindblom

[MrTPlush]

I’m sick of hearing about how Lindblom can throw 6 different pitches. How about he focuses on having a few decent ones. All I see is him throw batting practice every outing.

Another game out of reach in the second inning.

[Eye Black]

From Adam McCalvy:

 

The Brewers will play from behind for the second time tonight. As the season reaches its halfway point, Milwaukee's opponent has scored first in 23 of 30 games.

I liked Josh Lindblom a lot better when he was pitching in Korea.

[Lostpawn]

I like this lineup.

Well, hopefully it'll just be the 2.

[wildcat83]

I defended Lindbloom cuz I thought he had good enough stuff to be the 5th starter, but it’s getting to the point of “We have 2.5 more years of this???”

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Another game out of reach in the second inning.

 

I know this offense has sucked for most of the season, but it's a 2-run deficit. That is a tad hyperbolic.

Wow. I thought it only *felt* like that. But it's true!

I honestly thought it was worse. I can only remember like 2 of those 7.
