The Brewers need to do what they do best, hit the ball. The old adage in baseball is “good pitching will beat good hitting”. The Brewers believe that their good hitting can beat Cole Hamels and good pitching.
“If we’re on our game (at the plate) there’s not a whole lot of teams that can beat us.” Proclaimed Prince Fielder “When we’re seeing’ it, we’re pretty tough. We need everyone to be patient and work it (the count) and we’ll be fine. The guys in that clubhouse (Phillies) are feelin’ it right now (pressure) they’re expected to win it all here in Philly.”
Make no mistake about it, the Brewers need this one today with Yovani Gallardo on the hill making only his second start since coming back from that ACL injury. The worry here in Philly is that if the home town team loses tonight they don’t have a shot against CC Sabathia tomorrow and that’ll swing the momentum heavily in the favor of the Brewers who are returning home to Miller Park where the Crew was pretty dominant (49-32) this season.
