Rough game for Capuano. A lot of credit is owed to Parra for bridging three innings and keeping the Brewers in the game. I think he may have a future as a reliever as he has the stuff, it is just once people get to him the second and third time he nibbles and that's where he gets hurt. This was a team win, which are the best ones. I was glad to see LoCain with the walk-off. Winning a 4-plus hour game is better than losing it. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o254/gjenkins05/100_3437.jpg

For what it is worth, Bush was in uniform and in the dugout tonight. I saw him with my own eyes.
-
This could be like the first LoCain call up where he basically was going to be called up, but things changed at the last minute and his call-up was delayed. This could definitely still happen, but maybe not today. For what it's worth the Brewers sent out their "thanks for buying tickets to tomorrow's game!" email with Bush listed as the starter.
-
That will have a Lastings effect on the game. What a horrible play. What a horrible first name. LOL.
-
It is pretty sad when even the Pirates are getting calls against us.
-
Nice Escobar, nice. Now we only need to figure out what that "Essscobar" sound clip at Miller Park is.
-
That's awful. My friend lived on Cesar Chavez drive for about two years about a block from where the robbery was reported, not the best area to be at night. We've made that 2:30am walk to Jalisco's before and I felt uncomfortable there (we are two pretty big guys, though). There is a bank about three blocks from Jalisco's, so the progression of events makes logical sense, it is just unfortunate. I'm just glad that other than the loss of personal belongings and some mental/physical bruises everyone is okay.

George Kottaras shaved the epic beard, and yet it has not helped him nudge over Uecker for his batting average. It was a pretty dead crowd tonight, not a whole lot of cheering or a whole lot to cheer about. Macha didn't even bother to get anyone up behind Wolf in the 5th inning, as to where Torre blew through his entire bullpen in the 9th just to be sure he could close the game out. Lets hope Yo can get us back in the win column tomorrow.

Wow Dave, what a meaty hanger that was. Yikes.
-
They are planning to limit Narveson's innings, so pulling Narveson made more sense with a long man (McClendon) available. Back to Riske, thanks for playing, David. It is too bad things didn't work out. No hard feelings. This likely just means McNewGuy becomes the (we're down by more than 2 in the late innings) reliever Riske became for the next 8 days until rosters expand.

I laughed at Haudricourt's tweet about Parra: "If definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results, why is Manny Parra still starting?" As crewcrazy said, Macha I'm sure saw this coming, but his hands were slightly tied. Plus, being out of the race as we are, I'm sure some in the organization may feel there comes a point where the team needs to push Parra's limits to see if he can ever get over that hump to be the starting pitcher many hope he can be. It makes you wonder how many starts it will take to satiate the fact Parra may be better off as a reliever. His (small sample) career stats show he has been better as a reliever and while it isn't really fair to judge him off of 16 starts this year, his 58 other career major league starts show basically the same things he has shown this year. I'm sure there are some guys who put up an ERA north of 5.30 with a WHIP of 1.7 in their first 75 or so starts and turned it around to be good pitchers, but as a fan it is frustrating to watch Parra because you can see the talent, but not the consistency to get it done.
-
I love how BA just made a Family Guy reference in regards to WHIP. Best moment of the broadcast so far, lol.

BREWERS 2B Weeks SS Counsell LF Braun 1B Fielder 3B McGehee CF Cain RF Dickerson C Lucroy LHP Parra It sounds as though Hart is out as a precaution with the off day tomorrow, Counsell just getting a regular start at SS. IT seems like a beautiful day for baseball, I'm kind of sad I ended up trading this game away due to the work schedule of my friend I share a 20-pack with. The last game we traded the Brewers won, so lets hope that happens again!
-
Nice job by McNewGuy to get the win. That is two nights in a row solid relief has led to a win. Good times.
-
I decided to look up the rule, sauveb is right: Rule 10.16(g) Comment: It is the intent of Rule 10.16(g) to charge each pitcher with the number of runners he put on base, rather than with the individual runners. When a pitcher puts runners on base and is relieved, such pitcher shall be charged with all runs subsequently scored up to and including the number of runners such pitcher left on base when such pitcher left the game, unless such runners are put out without action by the batter (i.e., caught stealing, picked off base or called out for interference when a batter-runner does not reach first base on the play). So Narveson would have been liable for two runs since Torrealba and Denorfia were his runners left on base. One of the two runs scored, so Narveson would have been charged for one more run had someone else scored, be it Denorfia or one of the guys that reached via fielder's choice.
-
Giving up a hit to the pitcher, not so good. Getting the next three guys in order, very nice.
-
Lets go McNewGuy (as he was called in the chat a few nights ago). ... or not. Oof.
-
Lets go Narvdog. Get win number 10! It sounds as though Narvdog may start having a shorter leash as the Brewers are monitoring his innings, so it'd be nice to see him go out and do well in his next few starts if they do decide to lighten his load in September.
-
Admittedly, I have a quirky sense of humor. It was funny because Capuano really busted it to try and score from first on that, but by the end he was out of gas. It was "sad" in the sense they weren't able to score the run. I admire the hustle though.
-
LOL Cappy. That attempt to score was funny and sad at the same time.
-
Nice job getting out of the mess by Cappy.
-
Gomez, because he has a higher ceiling. Gomez has more physical tools than Gwynn, it is just a matter of whether he'll learn to harness them. Gwynn has pretty much figured out the type of player he is and will be that guy for better or for worse, as to where Gomez believes he can be that dual threat power/speed guy like a Carlos Beltran when that isn't the type of offensive game he should be gearing himself for. If Gomez decided he was going to be the type of hitter Gwynn is (slap hitter, using his speed to his advantage, etc.) in my opinion he would easily dust any statistics Gwynn could put up.
-
Wow, epic fail Clint. Epic fail. We'll take the charity, tie game!
-
How about hitting for the cycle, Rickie? I think we'd all appreciate it.

No Counsell, but Dickerson and Epic Beard are in the lineup today: 2B Weeks RF Hart LF Braun 1B Fielder 3B McGehee CF Dickerson SS Escobar C Kottaras LHP Parra
