8/23/03 - Pirates (Fogg) @ Brewers (Obermueller)

I have a strange feeling the Brewers are going to win this one 7-6. And that Leonicio Estrella will have a fantastic night.

That makes 5 in a row if I count correctly. It's too bad Obermuller can't get a win- instead it goes to a pitcher who gives up 3 runs in an inning.

I hate the fact that "wins" go to whoever is pitching when a team takes the lead (rather than going to whoever pitched the best overall).

 

Having said that, I didn't think Obermueller was that great. He seemed like he was in trouble all night and he was lucky to get out alive. In a weird sort of way, I didn't mind that he didn't get credited with a win just because I thought he stunk. Just way too many baserunners.

5 in a row overall; 6 in a row at Miller Park; first time winning 6 in a row at home since 1997

Creating jams obviously isn't desirable, but getting out them is a good thing; it shows he can handle some pressure.

``It showed great determination and desire by our team,'' Milwaukee manager Ned Yost said. ``Anytime you take a three-run lead into the ninth -- and lose it, it's a letdown.

 

``Our club battled back,'' he added. ``That showed a lot of character for our team.''

That was some good battlin'.
