Milwaukee @ San Diego

Sticks are out, and Lohse had a good outing. 8-1 top of 7.

Maldy's throw to second not a video on MLB.com, criminal.  Guess it can't make it to the defense thread. 

Would be great to really take care of business on this WC swing...

Well, the good news is the Cards lost.

Gotta win tomorrow...

Frustrating. Nelson couldn't even get the pitcher out while Ross baffled us. His slider  really had the Crew swinging a pitches out of the zone .

 

Just win the series.

Alright, enough said. Push her to 2 1/2 tonight. Looks already to be a duel. Yo gives us 7?

Am I the only one who likes Herrera? I may have missed it on another thread, but guy can play both sides well when called upon granted, and I don't cringe every time I see him.

First and third, nobody out... Get nothing. Stop swinging at slop, fellas...

Gallardo returns the favor... First and third, nobody out- they get nothing either.

Brewers are a double play machine tonight. Of course they have to be. 

2-0 Crew top of 7. Overbay reminded me a bit of Bream in '92.

Rodriguez getting squeezed- Parra called out on three pitches in the top of the ninth- all on the outside corner. K-Rod gets them called balls, throw a get me over fastball and it's tied with on swing. F-ing unbelievable.

Exact reason why you need electronics making BallnStrike count, too subjective especially in leveraged situations like late in game.

****

Guh. Missed opportunity.

9 homers in the last 25 innings now for K-Rod.  Ugh.

I think in the back of everyone's mind, there was worry that KRod wasn't going to last the season. Those numbers are downright scary. The BP as a whole has been really shaky the last month or so, but KRod is showing signs of crumbling.

They Sweep that series in LA and are now 3-5 since. I think I heard in TMJ the other day that the Brewers have a better record against good teams than bad. Can't verify the numbers now, but interesting if that's true...

I think at the beginning of the year if you said our closer was going to be 39 out of 45 and that guy would be KRod I would have LMAO

If you simply were to trend his numbers I would say there are more blown saves in his future.  They are playing with house money IMO
