The first part of the article today is devoted to Prince Fielder who has been the absolute man this last week. I have not remembered a time where Fielder has been spraying the ball to all parts of the field. He has always claimed how he wants to be a .300 hitter and my dad has always claimed how he has to hit the ball to left field. This week we finally saw Fielder taking the ball to left field and defeating the shift that some teams choose to put on Prince. I am just happy to see him starting to hit the ball to all fields.
Monday: The Brewers entering this game against the Florida Marlins were 5-16 in Florida so we should have known that this week could get a little weird. It started out with the Brewers losing this game in the sixth when Jorge Julio couldnt get an out if his life depended on it and allowed in five runs. He was released that next day.
Tuesday: Not a good night at all as Manny "I am the biggest headcase ever" Parra allowed in 10 runs and was just destroyed all over the park. Nothing more to talk about in this one.
Wednesday: The Brewers got off to a fast start with a Ryan Braun homer and then they were able to get nine runs in thanks to the Marlins pitching staff who walked in four runs. So with a 9-1 lead everything was going great until Florida just kept hitting singles off Braden Looper until the lead got pulled to 9-6. Thankfully Trevor Hoffman closes the door.
Thursday: A great battle between Josh Johnson and Dave Bush. The Crew could have a run or two if werent for Mike Cameron's three strikeout day and it hurt that Johnson hit a three-run homer himself.
Friday: Just a dominating performance by Yovani Gallardo in a 4-0 victory where he only allowed two hits. I told some people that every time Yo is on the mound, I feel no reason why we should lose the game. Also Yunel Escobar had a lot to do with the Crew getting their runs.
Saturday: The Brewers once again shut out the Braves with pretty solid pitching by Jeff Suppan and Fielder hit two homers in the effort.
Sunday: Another rough performance by Parra and Carlos Villanueva who pitched his third straight day which seemed to have some wear on his arm. Also this was a battle between Chipper Jones (two homers five RBI) and Ryan Braun (two homer four RBIS) was awesome.
