Brewers Bullpen Gives One Away

The Milwaukee Brewers bullpen has been great for most of the season, but last night they let one get away from them. Brewers starter Shaun Marcum deserved a better fate then he got last night. Marcum pitched six innings and gave up no runs and two hits, but threw over 100 pitches. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke decided to go to the bullpen and they could not hold the lead. Marco Estrada came in and it fell apart for the Brewers and they eventually lost 2-1 to the New York Mets.

Prince Fielder went deep for his 15th home run of the season, but the Brewers really did nothing else against former Brewers pitcher Chris Capuano who pitched real well. His only mistake was to Prince Fielder. This is a game the Brewers let get away and it should not have happen, but it did.

he Brewers drafted 3B Trent Boras in the 30th round of the first-year player draft on Tuesday. He is the son of agent Scott Boras, who represents Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder. … One round earlier, the Brewers selected right-hander David Lucroy, the younger brother of Lucroy. Tonight the Brewers will send Randy Wolf to the mound and try to get back on track.

Florida Has Enough To Stop Brewers 3-2

It seems the Milwaukee Brewers just never have enough when they need it. Take yesterday's game for example. The Brewers sent Chris Capuano who has been out for two years to the mound and he pitched very well. He allowed just three earned runs which would normally get your team a win, but not the way the Brewers play. The Brewers could only manage one run off  Florida Marlins pitch Josh Johnson who was very sharp. The Brewers were able to get one run off their bullpen as well. To the Brewers credit they did make it interesting in the end, but could not get the hit the needed.


Three Brewers had two hits apiece, but Milwaukee also had 10 strikeouts in the game. Milwaukee also left runners on in scoring position which also hurt them as well. Milwaukee has a weekend series with the St. Louis Cardinals and cannot afford to lose this series. They are slowing falling out of the pennant race and need some wins in this series. To the Brewers credit they continue to play hard and never give up.
