2 out of 3 ain't bad

The Brewers seem to have turned things around a little, winning last night and on Tuesday to make it the most wins we've had in awhile.

Wednesday's game featured spectacularly horrible pitching by Derrick Turnbow and I have to say that I'm nearing the end of my leash with this guy. I don't care how fast he throws, if he can't find the plate (or anywhere in a ten foot radius of it) or if he can't throw anything other than a fastball, he's more than useless to us. At some point we have to realize he does more harm than good.

Last night Francisco Cordero racked up his 19th save, making him a perfect 19/19 on the year. My only worry is that there's no way he can keep this pace. No one could expect him to. He's human and he certainly didn't show talent like this in season's past. That's how we got him traded to us. Unfortunately, no one's going to realize that and it's going to be all about how another pitcher is sucking it up.

I saw literally the two most unusual outs in the past week that I've ever seen before. I was at Tuesday night's game and it took multiple innings before someone could explain this to us. The ball hit Ben Sheets' bat, hit him, rolled foul and he was thrown out at first. It was a double hit.

Last night, in the ninth, Coco threw a pitch inside and the guy at the plate ducked and covered. The ball hit the knob end of his bat flat, rolled into fair territory and we threw him out at first.


Finally, Rickie Weeks was placed on the 15 day DL retroactive to May 30 due to chronic pain in the wrist he had surgery on at the end of last season. To replace him in the lineup, we recalled pitcher Jose Capellan.
