Box Score
Tonight's game was your classic stinker. There was bad starting pitching, bad defense, and almost no offense. The Brewers deserve a tip of the cap for bringing the tying run to the plate in the 7th and 8th, but as the final score indicates, those situations did not accomplish anything.
One of my favorite baseball axioms is that you'll win 54 games and lose 54 games, but it's what you do with the other 54 that counts. I'm perfectly happy declaring calling tonight's game one of those 54 losses and moving on. But before I do...
...something needs to be done with Casey McGehee. Coming into tonight's game he was hitting .231/.290/.333 and, as evidenced by his two errors on back-to-back plays in the top of the 9th, playing bad defense. For the time being the solution is to move him down in the lineup and hope he gets right. If that does not happen the Brewers are going to have to look to call up Taylor Green from AAA. I hope it does not come to that.
Also, big series coming up against the Cardinals. While I'm hoping for a series win, at this point in the season I would happy with any result other than a Cardinals sweep.
