Right-hander Dave Bush will start for Milwaukee, and there was a bit of news about Bush today from manager Ken Macha, who is planning to pair Bush with Kendall's back-up, Mike Rivera, to start the season. It's a move to rest Kendall a bit more often this season, and is based on the small sample of success for Bush while Rivera is behind the plate.

 

David Riske, Jorge Julio and Wes Littleton are scheduled to work an inning apiece behind Bush, who is slated for six innings or 90 pitches.

What are the Vegas odds on Riske pitching a scoreless inning?

I guess no one saw that coming. Riske needs to be gone. Julio too.

Nice to see Prince smoking one with 2 out to tie the game. Hope he has a bit of "clutchiness" during the regular season.

Another good outing from Bush. I said at the beginning of the year I expected good things from him, its only spring games but he has looked awesome so far.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Can Riske start the year at AAA?

[1992casey]

According to Brewerfan's roster page, Riske has an option remaining. However, he has about 8 years of service time. To go to AAA, he'd have to pass through waivers... plus, I believe he'd have the right to refuse being optioned.

I haven't followed real closely, but has Riske thrown a scoreless inning of baseball yet this spring?
