Go Crew

Don't worry, I don't plan on posting about the Brewers everyday. I'm sure I'll cool down after the first week here...

Good results so far but I'm not too inspired.

You know they left 27 guys on base in that 2nd game and still scored 7 runs?

7 of those were courtesty of Prince Fielder who is NOT inspiring me thus far. 0 for his first 11 ABs is something that I'm not as concerned about as many people (although, it's hard to do worse). 7 Ks in your first two games though? Glad we finally got Jeremy Burnitz back.

Evidently he's not inspiring Jim Tracy either, who left in R.Hernandez (Righty) in that key situation against him last night. I was surprised that it was happening - and that the Brewers announcers didn't really mention much about it. Looked it up this morning and they did have Grabow (lefty) available in the bullpen. Granted, we had just got done shelling him yesterday: but I'd have to imagine that if Fielder were looking even "alright" so far this season - we would have seen a switch.

Turnbow has got the job done but hasn't looked so hot the last couple. Guys have been on. Leading runs have come to the plate. He's given up some walks. And his mullet looks a little unkept.

Bill Hall has not been good at the plate and when he did get on yesterday he got thrown out stealing by about 4 steps. It reminded me of the play in the movie Major League where the second basemen already has the ball and Willie Mays Hayes slide stops him a foot short of the bag.

The starting pitching has looked great though. Solid performances from all three starters.

Wise and Kolb have both looked very good which I think may be the best sign from this whole series (other than maybe JJ Hardy's start).

Anyway, 3-0 is great. They're getting it done. but they're going to have to step up if they want to make a run at anything this season - the opposition isn't always going to be the Pirates.
