While at work today I noticed the Brewers were up 8-0 over the Blue Jays. Heck, Dave Bush even had a no-hitter going in to the eighth.
I look back and Milwaukee barely pulls off a victory by the score of 8-7. I hope this was a freak, bullpen melt down that can easily fix itself by tomorrow evening! I am sure David Riske's nerves were a little rattled.
Enough said on that. Milwaukee did pull off it's fourth straight victory today, inching closer to Chicago (lost, again) and St Louis (lost,again). Dave Bush was unbelievable today on the mound pitching 7 solid innings and almost earning a no-hitter. I use the word "almost" because as with any game like that, no one remembers the 'guy who almost pitched a no-hitter'. Bush certainly appeared to be bringing his best stuff of the season. He of course earned the win (3-7), giving up only two hits and one earned run.
Offensively, Russell Branyan homered (10) again for his third straight game in addition to Prince Fielder's in-the-park home run (13). The man can chug around those bases pretty good for a big guy. I actually caught it on SC this morning on my way out the door (FSN was out on dish). They had some pretty funny words to say about it.
-High School stud draft pick Jake Odorizzi is close to signing with the Brewers. Besides Brett Lawrie, he would be next desired pick to sign.
-Brewers, according to Melvin, will stick with Torres over Gagne. Smart move. Gagne can still earn his way up the ladder and will start at setting-up Torres when he comes back (Monday?). I still believe he can make an impact. One generally has to hit rock bottom before he/she can build themselves back up. Gagne certainly hit rock bottom.
