exciting 4th of July with both Saenz and Hendrickson going today. Also, with Obermueller once again collapsing after several solid innings AND the schedule finally allowing for a regular turn for a 5th starter soon, it seems likely he'll be down in Indy for only a few more starts, and will be recalled to pitch on the 19th. (when we have 18 game days in a row). Obermueller would only be making 1 more start before going down in that plan. Ben could be sent down in early August when the team has 4 days off, or else the entire rotation could pitch on 5 days rest at times (since most are young arms).

[hardytheman]

this may be more related to the major league forum, but why doesnt NED LEARN when dealing with Obie? He should have just taken hm out after gettting 5 strong. Every single start its the same thing, almost. Obie goes about 5 and then gets smoked in the 6th. If Ned would pull him after the 5th his ERA would be lower and his CONFIDENCE would be higher. IMO!

[TrueBrew]

Well either way I think it is safe to say that Obie has had plenty of chances now and should have a very short leash if he does start any more games. I can't see Hendrickson being any worse than Wes is right now.

 

Also I am sure Ned was trying to save the bullpen as much as he could after the DH the day before.

krynzel is back at Center today for Indy, Bergeron in Left.

[hardytheman]

Lousiville took a 1-0 lead in the top of the 5th,rbi single. 1 out runner on first.

 

 

Hendrickson did have 4 ks through 3, not sure now.

[brewersdad]

BEN HAS 6KS THROUGH 5 INNINGS 1-0 GOING TO BOTTOM OF THE 5TH

[hardytheman]

Typical Hendrickson outing.

 

7IP 8H 1ER 1BB 7Ks

 

 

1-1 with Krynel up and runners on first and third, 2 out.

 

He is 1-4 today with a single.

[brettac1]

Bergeron wins it after Krynzel fails to come through, driving in the PR Adrian Hernandez, how bout them Indians!!!

[batman]

Ho, hum... another dominant performance from Little Ben. I'm sure glad he's still at Triple-A, 'cause he so much to learn about getting outs and preventing runs.

 

Oh wait. No, he doesn't. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Online late tonight? Give the Mavs a listen -- only audio show in town now; Jeremy Frost with a HR; it's a fun atmosphere with an ultra-packed house for the Mavs tonight; Roxy Bernstein had a blast describing some between-inning hijinks between several players and Wooly Bully, with Nick Slack putting the final touches on the mascot with the Rock's "People Elbow" finisher -- fun stuff...

[SoCalBrewfan]

I would assume that Ben, being the class act that he seems to be, will just do his job and let the rest of us worry about the promotions...from what I can see from a distance, he doesn't seem the type to lobby the GM. Or, to look at it another way, he's sending a message with every one of those AAA starts....

 

Anyway, Melvin can hardly have failed to notice what he's doing...and I can't imagine that Wes Obermueller will have a lot more shots as the 5th starter in Milwaukee. The All-Star break is a natural time to make a move...

Arizona Brewers Box Score:

2004 8th round pick LHP Brandon Parillo (California high schooler) had more trouble fielding than pitching in his pro debut; RHP Tommy Hawk's outing was uneven, but it's great to see him on the mound after the elbow injury scare; another 2004 high school pick, 6th round OF Stephen Chapman, on base twice -- he's been solid this week after a rough week # 1; Iribarren and Gallardo combine for 0-for-9, why, that's impossible!
