After beating Florida (a team in the midst of a free-fall), in a number of close games where they got some breaks and unexpected contributions, I think many forgot that Milwaukee is still terrible on the road. Yes, I'm sure it's just a statistical anomaly. You are what your record says you are at some point. Maybe we should wait until the end of the year to call them terrible on the road. We can put it on their tombstone.

I get the feeling that this is going to be one of those games where the Brewers fail to take advantage in the first and then go down really meekly. If Braun and Fielder don't get it done, this team loses way, way more often than not. This is a team with a lot of holes.
-
"DFA Yuni." Wish granted. Two weeks from now: "DFA Wilson."
-
Is Quade as stupid as that argument made him appear? Isn't the time to argue check swings when the Brewers get the call on a check swing, rather than arguing about a clear ball?
-
Said it before, will say it again. Estrada needs to be starting every 5 days in Nashville. McClendon was pitching great and he got sent down.
-
Brewers have now scored in only 3 of their last 27 half-innings, and they're still 2-1 in that stretch.
-
So when the Brewers fail to score, it's everyone's fault but the hitters that they are behind in the ninth? Lots of people could have done better in that half-inning, but there has been a lot of fail at the plate tonight. And Randy Wolf can't comment about run support too much if he has to have Nieves behind the plate when he pitches. Thae starting pitching is finally better, but if this team ever has to live without Braun and Fielder, they are roughly equivalent to the Twins without a healthy Mauer and Morneau. How's that working out for them this season?
-
Days like this you wonder how the team isn't more than 10 games over. Then you remember they just lost a home series to the Mets. Funny game. I think they are getting better, and maturing as a team as they do, but there are still some pretty big holes in the lineup. Coming home after a winning road trip would be great. If they don't win 3 (or more) of these next 7 questions will persist.
-
At least Casey is consistent.
-
What is it about guys like Motte that makes it look like they're just winging it and they only hit low 90s on the gun, while other guys that do get it up in the high 90s don't often seem to be throing all that hard?
-
Wow. Top of the order really came through when they needed to. Time for Casey, Yuni and Lucroy to pull their weight and pile on here.
-
Well, if the Crew is going to get shut out at least I cn feel better about the Cards scoring a legit run. I don't think it's much of an exaggeration to say the Brewers chance to win is reduced by about 90% if they don't get at least two this half-inning.
-
I'm guessing this half inning will be better spent getting yesterday's yard waste ready for a trip to the compost site. (Invoking reverse-jinx).
-
Innings like this just make me sick. Marcum has done almost nothing wrong. Edit: It is about on par for the luck/support Marcum has gotten lately though.
-
It's always nice to give the eyes a night's rest from the contact lenses when WMLW has the game. Never even notice the difference.
-
Well, Prince did pull his foot early at first. And Prince did stick out his elbow to get that HBP. ANd the COunsell play at second was pretty close. It's ot like LaRussa was arrguing garbage, and he didn't do it in an over-the-top manner. I'd want our manager arguing those calls, too. Not a LaRussa fan at all, but it's hard to say he's out of line on any of those situations.
-
I love Plush, but I can 100% see how just about every other team will want to plunk that guy for just about any excuse that presents itself.
-
Unbelievable. More that they gave him a pitch to hit than that he hit it.
-
Complain about the relief pitching all you want, and with good reason. But let's not let the good feeling come out of Florida mask the fact that, if the Crew does not score more than 1 more run tonight, they will have scored 3 or fewer runs in 5 of their last 9 games and 11 of their last 21.
-
According the BA and Rock earlier, they got in at 4AM. Been thinking all night that may have something to do with the results. That said, Braunie looks to be cooling off just a bit. Don't know if it's shoulder related. Prince is carrying a lot of the load right now. Was nice to win those games in FL, but they were one run games that could easily have gone the other way. This team has been relying heavily on its starting pitching and they certainly got another good performance in that regard again tonight, even if Marcum wasn't at his best. Let's hope they can find a way here in the bottom of the inning.
-
No reason for Casey to be in the game in the 9th, right?
-
I didn't at first either, but I think he got him on the back of the thigh. Nobody argued it, so I'm guessing the call was a good one. Ump probably heard the tag too.
-
That's possibly 3 anti-RBI for Gomez this half-inning.
-
I don't put full faith in Foxtrax, K-Zone nd the like but having them on every boradcast now does the umps no favors. It used to be you just thought the umps were blowing it. Now you have what purports to be objective evidence on your screen virtually every pitch reinforcing that notion. I loved what Estrada did for this team earlier in the year, but I'm starting to wonder if maybe keeping McClendon up might have been a better move while sending Estrada down to get steady starts every 5 days. If somebody goes on the DL the Crew will need him in that role again. Only problem with keeping McClendon up/Estrada down is that you then really have nobody available to make a spot start in teh event you need one. (All assuming Estrada has options available).

Thank you, Mr Morrison.
