Brewers Wrap-up vs. Dodgers
I think this will be an easier way to talk about the Brewers. I will wrap-up the series and talk about all of the games. BIG THANKS TO www.wissports.com and all of the posters who are reading. Here we go....
Opening Day was an awesome event to go to and I recommend it to anyone who has not checked it out yet. It was my first and it was electric as ever in the ballpark. We had standing room only but ended up getting to sit in the left field bleachers which was a big plus and I am still shocked we were not moved. Ben Sheets was the best I have seen him since the 18 strikeout performance against Atlanta a couple years ago, after the hiccup against Kent, he just dominated the whole game. Also the offense looked like it has been playing for a couple of months with all of the great timely hitting. Bill Hall looked comfortable in center after his great catch and a couple nice plays out there.
Tuesday: By sitting out in the freezing cold in February for 7 friggin hours, my buddies and I got rewarded by getting loge diamond box seats for free for four of us. My buddy Shay also is the nephew of Brewer producer Kent Sommerfield so we got to go up into the press box to visit him and the Brewer radio staff which was awesome. Capuano looked rusty for the most part because a bunch of his pitches were staying up in the zone and could not hit the corners. Still to only give up 3 runs with his performance is impressive. Mench also with the big homer against a lefty... hmmm I am willing to bet Jenks and Big Head are not mad about platooning. Also big performance by Turnbow and Cordero, the crowd was hyped when T-Bow came in the game and my heart nearly dropped when Matt Kemp nearly took the ball out of the ball park.
Wednesday: A great pitcher duel is what I expected out of this game with Suppan and Schmidit towing the rubber. Suppan looked alright but he was giving up way too many leadoff hits in the beginning which ran him into a lot of trouble. Suppan ended up settling down and pitching alright the rest of the way. The Brewers offense was god awful last night, they could not hit Schmidit and they stranded 17 runners on base which is inexcusable. Yost made a poor decision with putting in Villenevua (sp) in the game, he is the long reliever of the staff and I realize Yost are trying to give all of his bullpen pitchers some time in the early games although it was not wise in a 2-1 ball game. Bring him in for the first time when either the Crew is getting blown out or they are winning big. Glad to see the Brewers fought back though and did not lay down at the end of the game.
In other news today is Billy Donovan decided to stay at Florida which leaves Kentucky searching again for a new coach, I sure hope they do not go after Tom Crean.
Well I am going to my buddies house of the rest of the weekend so likely I will not have anymore blogs til Sunday/Monday....
By the way the Cubs suck....
