I'm not saying anything about pulling pitchers at a specific inning regardless of how they pitched. I'm just highlighting that Brewers SP haven't consistently gone deep into games for a while now. Suppan happens to be on the mound tonight and not going deep enough into the game for what we should expect at this point in the season. 114 pitches through 5 isn't exactly ideal.

14 starts without Capuano getting a win, 8 starts without Suppan getting a win, unless the Brewers hang a very large number in the 6th (though at least they've won a few games Suppan's pitched in during that stretch)

In the end that very well may sum up the division race.http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/ohwell.gif Needed better from your 2 and 3 starters.

You also realize that Wandy Rodriguez is pitching for the Astros and has a 1.69 ERA at home this year right??

 

In 2006, he had an ERA of 5.48 at home. In 2005 it was 5.57. Rodriguez has been very good at home this year and very good against the Brewers today so far, there's no question. What am I supposed to think has changed this year from the last two, though? If you look for weird splits, you can always find one. Sometimes splits are just random and there's no evidence that I am aware of in this case that suggests in anything more than a coincidence. If I'm over looking another explanation, please let me know what it is.

The Brewers rotation is one of the worst in MLB right now, if not the worst. And their offense? In a word, pathetic. I haven't looked it up, but they have to be near the bottom of the rankings when it comes to converting runners from 3rd with less than 2 outs. If they don't hit their solo home runs, they generally don't score too much. If they do by some miraculous occurrence win the Central, it will not be well earned.

 

An inability to manufacture runs or come up with timely hits; poor defense; an inability to win on the road; and a 2nd half slide;......all consistent traits of Ned Yost teams during his tenure. Obviously this year is no exception. Throw in some terrible starting pitching, and you've got a baaaaaad team. There are three teams with a worse record than the Brewers since they were 14 games over .500 on May 11th: the Reds, Pirates, and the Giants.....the three worst teams in the NL. Sorry folks, the #'s don't lie.

 

The only hope they have is for the Cubs to start losing. Starting now. Go Rockies!

Not much to say about the game itself, but the WMLW Big East football commercials are kind of amusing. Sure, Milwaukee is nominally a Big East city with Marquette hoops, but there is a good possibility that the ratio of promos broadcast:people in Wisconsin who might watch a Big East football game is less than 1:1.

Using selective end points to prove something is using numbers to lie. A good statistician would never do it, that's for sure. Big no-no.

 

EDIT: The Brewers score the run without a hit. Manufacturing runs is good! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

 

If Wise can do OK next inning, that's at least something to be happy about.

The Astros are a different team at home, Their team ERA at home is 3.90 while it's 5.67 on the road. Wandy is following that trend

What the heck was Leyva looking at? That wasn't even close!

Agreed. Nick was going to put up the stop sign but then he rememebered Estrada was up next and figured might as well chance it and hope for a bad throw from RF then watch Johnny bounced into a 6-4-3 DP with the bases juiced

The point is, he didn't his first 2 years and nothing has changed.

Nothing except his strikeout rate, his walk rate, his and his home run rate.Yep, other than that everything is the same for him at Minute Maid.
