Ok, my first time starting the game thread, so hopefully it will bring the crew a series win. Hopefully the Crew can finally tag Luke Hudson for some runs as well.

Career #s at Great American Ballpark:

2-1 record in 4 starts: 26.0 innings 3.46 ERA 1.19 WHIP .255 BAA 3 HRA and 1 complete game.

"It's a huge game for us. It's the difference between going back home three games under [.50http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/alien.gif or one game under. It's a huge game." -- manager Ned Yost, on Saturday's win

 

Couldnt have said it any better.

Where is it more difficult to pitch, Coors or GABP?

 

WIN THE SERIES TODAY!

[princeginterhallhelms04]

WOW that is a great question. Today i would have to say GABP just becuase the ball just jumps out of there.. GO crew!

[SheetsCyYoung04]

Coors is much more difficult not because of the home runs but because it yields more hits. This ball park seems dificult because of crud pitching. Remember it was our 4-5 starters pitching the last two days.

[princeginterhallhelms04]

Yeah i agree. But i still think that hte ball is just going to jump out of the ball park today. I would take the over!

Starter Luke Hudson so far this season has a 1-5 record with an ERA of 10.05.

 

Career #s vs. Milwaukee

2-0 record in 2 starts: 12.0 innings 0.00 ERA 0.75 WHIP .103 BAA.

 

 

 

Wow. That is just pathetic. The guy is 1-5 with an ERA over 10 but is Cy Young vs. the Brewers, how embarrassing.

[princeginterhallhelms04]

Things are going to change today.. How does a brewers 12-2 win sound?

[ThePurpleStorm]

I'm thinking more along the lines of 10-6 or something. Lots of runs by both teams anyways.

Edit: Lined-up the Line-up

[mikevan1818]

Russ is going yard today. No doubt.

[JET15]

They're resting Griffey, we've got a good lineup and the pitching matchup looks great... we better not blow-tallico this one

[Oswald Chesterfield Cobble]

a 4-3 roadtrip would be sweet

[ThePurpleStorm]

I like the fact that I see no Ken Griffey Jr. in there. I definately like the pitching matchup today. I see us winning convincingly.

[JET15]

Willy Mo the Brewer Killer is in the lineup... could be the wild card that they need. They're answer to Ooooooooooooooooo

[scoop53714]

I also like Branyan to go deep at least once today. If the wind is favorable, I say RB sets the all time longest bomb in the history of the stadium today.

 

JJ Hardy with a big day as well.

[Brian the Automator]

Only 24 career at-bats for the enitre team vs. Luke Hudson, with the team having a .468 OPS against him.

 

Overbay's had the most success, at 2-6. Branyan's had the least success at 0-4.

 

Of course, a big-time small sample size warning applies to these numbers.

[badgerfan.tgf]

I'll bet Willy Mo goes yard for the Reds today at least once. That guy owns us.

 

And why is everyone so thrilled about the pitching matchup? Sure he has a horrible ERA against the rest of the league, but he has an ERA of ZERO against the Brewers in 12 innings.

 

Today's game has "bad Sunday loss" written all over it. Hope I'm wrong but I'm guessing 8-4 Reds.

[rluzinski]

OMG, two lefties in a row!!!??

Is that even LEGAL?

Current Weather Conditions there:

 

Feels Like: &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp 97°

Dewpoint: &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp 75°

 

Could be a big factor. We'll probably go through a lot of pitchers. Poor Miller. They old man's gonna roast

[brewers19]

Isn't Moeller catching?

[Weirdos19]

I feel a series win coming today. Seems like the team is playing with a confidence that they haven't had on the road in quite some time. Believe it or not, I think Rickie Weeks is the reason.

 

No, not just because he's been playing well offensively, but because "the future" is here. There just seems to be a spring in everybody's step. Not just the players, but the coaches and the fans too.

 

Does anybody else feel and "electricity" following the team since Rickie has been called up?

[Ennder]

Its much harder to pitch in Coors. The biggest challenge is that balls break differently than they do in other places so you don't get the movement you expect no your pitches.
