June 2008 - Milwaukee Brewers
Manager and GM Fritsche

15th June 2008

After this thrilling draft we turn our focus to the series finale against the Blizzards who have yet to win a game against us in their young franchise history. Will also this game end in a slugfest? Sadly we have to rest Upton today, but hopefully Charlie Fermaint can take advantage of this first start of the season. The Blizzards try their luck again with sending a lefty to the mount and pray he can eat some innings as their bullpen is more than wretched at the moment. Today's Buffalo lineup collected six stolen bases so far, Prince Fielder has eleven.

Game #66 – Buffalo [32-33] (J. Saunders 1-6, 6.35 ERA) at Milwaukee [32-33] (C. Capuano 6-3, 3.55 ERA)

SS A. Escobar - RF S. Victorino - LF R. Braun - 1B P. Fielder - 3B M. Reynolds - 2B O. Infante - CF C. Fermaint - C H. Blanco

Saunders wasn't to blame as he pitched 5 + solid innings, but the Blizzards simply had no Ryan Braun on their lineup. In addition Chris Capuano was hot allowing only three hits in eight innings. When Akinori Otsuka wanted to spoil the shutout, Mitch Stetter brought the game to a quick end.

Buffalo at Milwaukee: 0-6

W: C. Capuano (7-3), L: J. Saunders
HR - / R. Braun 2 (18)
MoM: C. Capuano - 8.0 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 4 BB, 6 K

After this sweep we are back .500 which seems ok in a very tight NL Central:

CHC 36-30
STL 34-32
MIL 33-33
BUF 32-34
HOU 32-34
CIN 29-37

Elsewhere:

A.J. Burnett (5-8, 4.77 ERA) pitched the Vancouver Marmots to a 4-0 shutout victory over the Los Angeles Angels.

The Florida Marlins lose spot starter Gaby Hernandez (2-6-1, 4.92 ERA) for up to 13 months with herniated disc in the back.

American League Player of the Week:
Delmon Young (.307, 13 HR, 53 RBI - Tampa Bay): .552, 2 HR, 7 R, 7 RBI

National League Player of the Week:
Carlos Lee (.340, 14 HR, 47 RBI - San Diego): .600, 2 HR, 7 RBI

We signed the following non drafted free agents:

SS Pancho Redríguez
LF Francisco Rivas
SS Akahito Matsuo
MR Shawn Eaddy
LF Ed Bandy

Those guys are primarily used to fill some holes in our Arizona League rookie team.
