2010-05-16 Phillies (Hamels) at Brewers (Bush), 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-2]

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

It wasn't always pretty, but a quality start for Bush. Could have gotten a little more help behind him and maybe he goes 7. For a creature of routine, going a day early didn't seem to hurt him.

 

I love Rickie and am a total Weeks apologist, but boy does he need a day off.

[brewmann04]

Casey has been very impressive.

[BrewCrewForever]

Bush has done a heck of a job tonight, the offense not so much.

[brewmann04]

what makes you think that Macha will be canned so soon?

[BrewCrewForever]

That a boy McGehee!

[tigerbrew]

Well Done Casey!

[pete]

Personally, I hope they announce an extension for Macha.

[BrewCrewForever]

what makes you think that Macha will be canned so soon?

Attanasio had a manager fired with 12 games left in a season. I think he might do the same after a very poor start and an 0-6 homestand. I'm not saying it's going to happen, I just think it is possible.

[tigerbrew]

Good Job Hart.

[BrewCrewForever]

Damn, McGehee and Hart go back to back.

[Funketown]

Let's hold our breath on that 0-6 homestand.

[topper09er]

Should be tied if Rickie Weeks would have grounded out in the 5th inning

[Gobias Industries]

Hart has an .855 OPS this year. Nice to see he's actually performing after getting his big payday.

[BrewCrewForever]

Anyone else notice ESPN has been playing songs off of STP's "Tiny Music..." album going in and out of commercial breaks? Kind of strange since that album came out in 1996.

[tigerbrew]

That pop-up by Weeks with man at third one out hurts, could've been a tie game for Bush.

[theavrock]

Can someone explain why Stetter is facing Werth?

[tdeggie]

wow McGehee with the great glove tonight.

[thablingster]

Things just got interesting with the back-to-back jacks. This crowd was dead before that.

[stalton]

Can someone explain why Stetter is facing Werth?

Because Ibanez is a lefty?

[pete]

Casey's been picking it all night. Rickie with the roughest night in a long, long time. Give him a day off.

[theavrock]

But Werth is batting .357 against lefties and Ibanez is nowhere near the hitter that Howard is. Definitely not someone you need a lefty specialist for. Villa would be a good option because of that changeup. Its worked out so far and I guess with the bullpen cashed its not the worst idea. Just not what I would like to see in a tight game.

[BrewCrewForever]

Casey's been picking it all night. Rickie with the roughest night in a long, long time. Give him a day off.

No doubt, Rickie should be out of the lineup tomorrow night and Counsell in at 2B. A day off might do him some good.

[pete]

Valdez and Hoover with a series of big hits and walks. How? Why?

[Gobias Industries]

Why is Adam Stern getting a pinch hit in this situation?

[brewmann04]

brewers big guys need to come through tonight
