The Brewers tonight host the Diamondbacks for a three game series at Miller Park. After a great spring Dave Bush is making his debut for the Brewers. He will be facing Russ Ortiz of the Diamondbacks, who struggled last year only posting a 6.89 ERA.

Very excited tonight to watch the game and see Bush make his Brewers debut. If we win tonight it would be the first time since 1987 the Crew have started a season 4-0. That of course is the year we started 13-0 and Rob Deer made the cover of SI. Hopefully we get a good performance from Bush and Prince really breaks free this series. With JJ, Carlos, and Geoff all seeing the ball pretty well so far this season.

I said this last night in the chat room, but if the Brewers can keep the same approach they had in the Pittsburgh series against Ortiz, this is going to be a long game. The guy is a walks machine, somwhere around 5 BB/9 in the past two seasons, and 4.62 over his career. I say the Brewers draw somewhere around six or seven walks tonight and get into the "soft underbelly" of the D'Backs pen.

 

I think the only game that may be really tough is Saturday's game, you have to hope they have a home plate umpire that doesn't call the low strike for Webb. If he does, they could spend the whole day pounding the ball into the ground.

I remember when Russ Ortiz was good.
"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

Is Turnbow available tonight?

 

Good question after pitching in the first 3 games I wonder, although there was an off day yesterday. I have no clue what Yost would do if we have a save situation tonight. If he does not use Turnbow, does he use Wise? or Kolb?

I was actually thinking he kind of looked like Stiffler>

I don't know if this was posted yet somewhere else, but I found this blurb from a Tim Kurkijan column that came out last Saturday:

 

Quote:
Best batting practice session of the spring: Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks. "The way he hits the ball is a joke," said Brewers catcher Damian Miller. Brewers third baseman Jeff Cirillo laughed and said "I took BP in a group with Rickie, J.J. (Hardy), Prince (Fielder) and Bill Hall and I felt like Steve Fisher with the Fab Five at Michigan."

 

Dang, it feels good to be a Crew fan.

Just a thought, but if you're Ned Yost, do you think really hard about starting Chad Moeller tonight? That way you're sure to get Damian Miller aka Jake Taylor against a tougher pitcher tomorrow. If Miller starts tonight, it's very possible that Chad will start tomorrow being a day game. If we have to see Chad this weekend, I think tonight should be the night.

I agree I would rather have Moeller start tonight against Ortiz then against Webb tommarow. I would think that Miller would get the start tonight because of the off-day yesterday. We will see what Ned has planned tonight.
