Think Pink

Ryan Braun smacked 2 homeruns last night, his fourth in the last two games...all with the same pink bat. Although last night he used a black bat, it was the Mothers Day pink bat painted over. His batting average has sky rocketed to .288 now that he has, according to Yost, come out of his slump. Now if only Prince Fielder could follow suit. He looked awful at the plat last night chasing pitches out of the strike zone and failing to earn the walks he was dished out by Wainwright (3-2). JJ Hardy ended his wopping 5 game hitstreak, but he has started to make contact better and made some great defensive plays.

-Mike Cameron is batting .180 right now. Not an ideal spot in the batting order for this type of numbers. Granted, he only has about 50 at-bats, so this number can fluxuate. He is a quick centerfielder that can get under the fly balls on both gaps, more so with left-center of course.

-Dave Bush has a great game! Way to go for Bushy who gave up only 1 run in 6 innings. He looked shaky at first giving up a dinger to Rick Ankiel in the first, but quickly shook it off. Hopefully he gained some confidence down in Nashville.

-Mitch Stetter looked out of sync last night and this outing should be put aside as a rare incident to date. He has had too many solid innings to raise too many eyebrows with last nights semi-melt down.

-Eric Gagne said he is ready to pitch in the 9th. AFTER ONE GAME? C'mon Eric. I admire that you took the blame and all, but lets face it....one game break is not enough. My vote is for Closer by Committee (the most used term in Milwaukee over the last 3 days).

-As pointed out by JSOnline Blog yesterday, Deadspin was at Miller Park Sunday. They bitched about the roof being closed.

-Turnbow is just as bad in Nashville as he was in Milwaukee. I don't know if his stuff can be fixed anymore. He's beyond repair. Yost should have done this last season because now it is too late.

-Cleveland Indian's second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera had an un-assisted triple play last night! Only the 14th time in in history....pretty sweet! Congrat Asd-ru-ballllllll.

Back to normal for The Crew this week, as the wrap around series (weekend in to Monday) is done. They will have to do the same 4 game wrap around with Nat's later in the month.
