Milwaukee Brewers (66 - 80)

Tomo Ohka RHP (4-5, 4.83/1.36)

Ohka will face his former team for the first time since July 17, 2005, when he surrendered three runs in seven innings of a 5-3 Brewers win. Ohka pitched parts of five seasons with the Expos-turned-Nationals and had a falling-out with Washington manager Frank Robinson before the June 2005 trade that sent him to Milwaukee. Ohka is coming off a dismal start against the Astros at Miller Park, in which he surrendered six runs before recording an out in the third inning and walked five batters, four of whom scored..

Washington Nationals (63 - 83)

Ramon Ortiz RHP (1-13, 5.19/1.49)

http://mlb.mlb.com/images/2006/03/12/sUehKFKY.jpg

Ortiz's pattern of inconsistency continued in his last outing, when he allowed seven runs in 6 1/3 innings at Colorado, and was unable to follow up on his near no-hitter in his previous start. Ortiz leads the staff in wins, innings and strikeouts, but also in walks, hits allowed, home runs and hit batters.

I think Washington has come up with the strategy to throw the guys with the worst ERA on the mound against us and hope for the best http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif .

 

We have to finish at .438 or better (7-9) to ensure we don't lose 90 games. This is a must win game!

[thefutureishere2006]

if we win every game we will finish over 500..........lol..... umm win one for my birthday!

 

alfonso tonite will show us what we might want

Have fun. I was just at RFK last month. Probably the worst stadium that I've ever been to, and it's near the very, very bad part of Washington, but the stadium experience was really nice.

 

That being said, Go Brewers!

[hawing]

Stay safe, pogo (and Heather). Go Brewers.

Soriano hit the 40/40 mark, or do we have 9000 highlights of that to look foward to against us on BBT?

[Tisko]

Glad to see Yost is playing Tony.

[TheEndless7]

YAY Yankees Red Sox on ESPN! WOOT!...

[augie46]

Why is Tomo starting? He is going to be a free agent. Let's get Villanueva some starts.

Because you don't just diss the major leaguer to start the young kid, even though it;s the middle of September. Villanuava will wind up getting a start or two before the year is out, don't worry.

[brettac1]

I'd doubt he'll pitch much more than a couple innnings in September. He's pretty close to a 30 IP increase from last season. They're not going to risk hurting him in meaningless games.

[trwi7]

Am I the only one who thought Prince dogged it going after the bunt?

[endaround]

Can someone explain to Yost that Rivera has one hole in his game, throwing out runners? He has Miller catch Capuano who controls the running game by himself and has Rivera catch Sheets and now Ohka, two pitchers not that great with holding runners. Is it really that hard to see?

 

And Gwynn should be batting 8th.

[bucks2281]

Wow, what a shaky start.

[brettac1]

And Gwynn should be batting 8th.

 

No, you need a contact hitter like Gwynn's last name up there. He only strikes out once every 5 AB's (between AAA and MLB this year). He's just like his dad!

[trwi7]

HOMERUN JENKINS!!!!!!

[endaround]

Love how Bill talks about the need for small ball between Fielder's crushed double and Jenkins' HR.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

nice to see jenkins finally getting hot

[brettac1]

They should have never benched him, just platooned him with Mench. I don't know how Yost didn't see that.

 

From day one after Lee, it should have been Hart - Gross/Clark - Jenkins/Mench. It would have made Mench not look so terrible.

 

EDIT: I honestly had no clue Nook Logan was still in baseball. Only Bowden.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

i love bill,,, he says you got to figure either helling or gonzalez will come into the game for the injured ohka. who gets up in the pen ? Villanueava....way to call it bill

[Team Canada]

Hide the women and children, Geoff Jenkins is hot!!
