Ohka allowed two runs on six hits in five innings against the Giants Tuesday, his first start since May 1 because of a rotator cuff injury.

Milton gave up 7 runs in 7 innings in his last start against the New York Mets, including 3 home runs.

We're going to win by 7 runs.

 

Just in time to fool fans into attending the upcoming homestand after all.

 

Well, c'mon Brewers. Surprise me.

[PeaveyFury]

Love the lineup, with the exception of Barnwell. Though I imagine Cirillo hasn't played this much everyday since 2003 or so.....

[hawing]

Jim Powell seems to think today is a, uh, must-win game.

[And That]

Jim Powell seems to think today is a, uh, must-win game.

 

Well, I guess technically I can't disagree.

[PeaveyFury]

So is Carlos mailing it in waiting for his trade or what?

[jloos19]

Thank goodness for Brady Clark's speed. (that's supposed to be in blue, but I'm too lazy).

[PeaveyFury]

Clark was safe there, BTW. Foot touched the plate before the ball touched him.

 

Bad plate blocking.

[Bigtop79]

fine the third base coach or fine Brady Clark.......HORRIBLE!

[wibadgers23]

Could Brady be any slower? 2 outs and a ground ball hit to right field and you cant score from 2nd base? Goodness.

[wisconsinfan47]

I know that he's not anywhere close to a remedy to our recent problems, and that not every one of his starts will be productive, but it really is nice to see Tomo Ohka back on the mound.

[jloos19]

Wait, Corey Hart got another hit? Really? Wow, I can't believe it.

[jloos19]

Barnwell is SUCH a terrible hitter. Thank goodness Phillips screwed that up.

[sheethead]

I wouldn't mind seeing Jenkins coming off the bench for the rest of the year. Too bad he is getting paid almost $8 mil this year for his uber crappy numbers.

[sheethead]

So is Carlos mailing it in waiting for his trade or what?

 

I don't think Melvin's phone is ringing all that much.

[adamb100]

CLARK!!!

 

2-0

[wisconsinfan47]

Super AB by Brady there, and he makes up for the baserunning mistake earlier.

 

Perfect time to pile on more though.

 

We know we need it.

[Dollarbill13]

Can Schroeder and Sutton just stop talking? Of course an umpire is going to avoid interfering with any throw. It isn't some special bond he has with the catcher...

[And That]

Carlos with another terrific at-bat.

[jloos19]

Carlos Lee is really having one of the worst series I have ever seen. He hasn't hit one ball hard and is playing an atrocious left field.

[brewtown82]

way to go lee.

[brewtown82]

am i crazy for already feeling a late-game collapse coming on?

Heck no, you'd be crazy NOT to think that way

[crewcrazy]

And another $75 million-worthy at-bat by Carlos.

 

What's he at now, 0-for-11 in this series? He's not exactly doing wonders for his trade value.
