Yeah I know baseball is ruined and ther Brewerw are almost as severly hampered by Princess Prieb as they are the lack of revenue sharing, but Im still excited. I am probably crazy but I think the Crew should be .500 this year and if Sheets, Wright, Quevedo, and Nuegebaur pitch up to their potential and we dont swing at everything, I think the crew can win 90 and be in the wild card race late, which is something we havent seen in a long, long time. They must finish over .500 to avoid 10 years straight of losing seasons. I think it is time for a coup to remove Princess Prieb.

Having Koenig pitch the first inning is known as a “spot start” not a bullpen game. The Phillies have lefties in 3 of the 5 top spots in their lineup. Wilson has a .218 ERA against righties, but a 5.23 ERA against lefties. Using Koenig to start the game gives the Brewers the better matchup to start the game. That strategy worked as the Phillies went 1, 2, 3 in the first.
Koenig did "start". He pitched the first inning and then Wilson came in. They did this the last time Wilson pitched as well.
It's been said, but that bases loaded no outs scoring 0 runs was pretty much the game. When playing great teams like the Phillies, you really need to capitalize in those situations. Strange how the Brewers are the near the top of the NL in batting average with runners in scoring position but near the bottom when the bases are loaded. Clearly a mental thing or just strange coincidence. I hope it is the latter and the law of averages catches up.
