Milwaukee has hit 26 home runs in the last 12 games. Impressive.
Dave Bush takes to the mound tonight for the I-94 Series with the Twin Cities. I always loved this series, even now more than ever since Milwaukee left the American League. Bush is only 2-6 on the year and has displayed some promise, but like many blogs point out, he just can't tie up the lose strings. He has been going back to his old ways of giving up run in the first-two innings. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Look at last season and you will see the same trend, only he would win or earn the no-decision.
Milwaukee and Minnesota have a heated rivalry. Back in the American League days the games would be plaqued with beam balls, fights, and good ol' fashion hatred towards each other.
Here are a few names from years back:
Kirby Pucket
Kent Hrbek
Paul Molitor (we both share)
Fran Viola (I met him once)
Chuck Knoblauch (AL ROY in 1991)
John Smiley
Rod Carew
Tony Oliva
The list goes on and on....
Although I think the Cubs/Brewers Rivalry (The new I-94 Series) is a great rivalry, it still can't compete with the Twins.
Minnesota will have Kevin Slowley is also 2-6 on the season. Both of their ERA's are in the 5's. Both are right handed pitchers.
Robin Yount will be the guest of honor at the Wisconsin Woodchucks game on Sunday. They will host the battlin'Bullfrogs of Green Bay. Come on down to see one of the best wooden-bat amateur leagues in the country. I will be probably attending, as it is fathers day and I will be demanding me some baseball.
