The Brewers look to get back on the positive side of .500 this afternoon as scuffling Wes Obermueller goes up against last year's surprise, Brandon Webb.

Webb has walked a lot of guys this year so far, so here's hoping for more patience at the plate for the Crew.

[AJAY]

I hope Podsednik has a big game today against Brandon Webb. It would be nice to see our Rookie of the Year candidate beat up on their Rookie of the Year candidate.

 

I guess it's all in the past now, but still . . .

I would hardly call Obermueller scuffling. His last start he allowed zero earned runs in 6 innings against the Giants. (actually he might have left a guy or two on base that scored after he came out---I dont feel like looking it up). But it cant be easy to come into a game in the 2nd inning when you didnt' plan on pitching that day. (like he did when Capuano got hurt). I would have rather seen Yost use Hernandez that day and keep Obermueller on his regular schedule. But to say he is scuffling because of that appearnace seems harsh.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Here is Yost's line-up for today. Always nice to try for a sweep!

C. Counsell ss

J. Spivey 2b

Any idea why Grieve is not playing?

Not sure. I would guess that this is just an attempt to get Brady Clark some playing time... hopefully JP will let us know if there's something more to it.

 

Who else is going to take a nice long lunch today? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Just strange to get two days off in a row.

[burniebrewer]

Of course, no Ginter.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[RyDogg66]

ALL POINTS BULLETIN FOR KEITH GINTER- He is MIA once again!!! What else do you have to do when you hit .400 this year, lead the league in HRs as a rookie the year before, and in general just mash the ball almost everytime up? Is Clark better than Ginter? Can Grieve play better defense in RF and hit better? Why not RF?

[bigmanfromthemoon]

Bautista homers to prove all who belittled him on brewerfan wrong. 1 to 0 in the 2nd.

[mls4]

I have a feeling that one of these times Sexson is going to hurt us... I hope I'm wrong. Glad it wasn't this time.

[Cyanogen5]

Home Run Jenkins...He is heating up!

 

Game tied 1-1

[Frank Mallon]

go get um geoffy! i think this may be one of his hot streaks.

[homer]

Obermueller has been doing really well today. 68 pitches through 5. Only three hits, one walk.

[homer]

Man, Arizona's defense has been terrible this series.

[endaround]

Will getting swept by the Brewers cost Brenly his job?

[Iron Chef Napalm]

Are the dbacks trying to get Brenly fired?

 

I thought bobble-heads were just for souvenirs?

[mls4]

All started with a two-out walk by Podsednik and a hustle play by Counsell.

[scotty po fan]

You have got to LOVE this team!

 

 

 

A walk to Podsednik is a double in my book!

[homer]

Well good thing I jinxed Obermueller. I take full responsibility.

[mls4]

That lead didn't last long.

[Iron Chef Napalm]

I guess the dbacks just answered my question.

[scotty po fan]

so much for Obie's good outing
