I just read a tweet indicating that Dontrelle Willis has back spasms and will be scratched, with lefty Matt Maloney (0-2, 6.88) taking his place. Maloney was originally going to start in Johnny Cueto's place on Monday.

 

We'll catch up the graphics above as soon as we can.

[Schlitz001]

Maloney is a lefty too, so the lineup probably isn't going to change. I just hope Rickie is feeling good enough to play. No need to take risks on him when we will really need him in the postseason.

[Eddiehitsthefoulpole]

We have one of our top-notch pitchers facing a little-used, not very successful emergency starter. We seem to have a hard time winning these kind of games.

[ilovebeer]

Shouldn't the brewer change the lineup then

[ilovebeer]

Lets get the magic # down to at least 4 today.

[ilovebeer]

nice start to the game i like leadoff doubles.

[hawing]

Shouldn't the brewer change the lineup then

They're still facing a lefty, so may as well keep this. Just think of the PH possibilities later on.

 

FSW just showed a couple of fans at GABP clad in Cardinals gear. Are they just looking to pick a fight?

[ilovebeer]

Gomez goes yard!

[hawing]

Quote from the S.O.: "Man, you've gotta be BAD to give up a home run to Carlos Gomez on the first pitch!"

 

I'm rooting for a triple/single from Ryan followed by a single/triple from Prince, to complete the first inning cycle.

 

Edit: Ryan got the single, but Prince messes up and hits a home run instead of the triple. Sigh.

 

[Schlitz001]

4-0 with 0 outs.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Oof.

 

Only question was fair or foul. That ball was hit a LOOOOOOONG ways. That would have been out of Yosemite.

[ilovebeer]

Mvp's average goes up to .334

[ilovebeer]

Prince goes deep!

[ilovebeer]

Casey and Yuni make easy outs after we were crushing the ball.

[ilovebeer]

Nice job top 5, not so much the next 3

Yeah, we can't give luc a free pass. He has been struggling too. He did this last year, if I recall. He may just be wearing down a bit.

Considering he's gotten full 9-inning off-days like 4 whole times this year, I don't blame him...

[DuWayne Steurer]

It's kinda sad that we're on the verge of a division title, and the 2nd best record in the NL, and I'm letting RR, Casey, and Yuni, take from my enjoyment of what has been a really fun season. I can't even help but just get angry seeing either of those 2 step in the batters box anymore, and then of course my anger boils over to RR for using them. That first inning is a microcosm of just that. First 5 batters reach base, and then Casey weakly flies out on the first pitch, and Yuni drives one all of about 15 feet in front of the plate.

[ilovebeer]

Here comes a grand slam for Prince.

[ilovebeer]

mvp batting average is up to .335

[DuWayne Steurer]

Corey with the nice leg sweep even though the catcher was 5 feet from the plate. Nice.

[ilovebeer]

at least Prince got a run in.

[ilovebeer]

Welcome back Rickie, the Brewers have blown this game wide open.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Well, far be it for me to get premature here, but I think we can start priming the "4's" for the magic number thread.
