Also, Gabe Kapler (whose BA is now up to .330 I believe) is making a strong case to be starting CF. 4-5 in today's game. 2-4 in Sunday's game. Of the 9 ABs, and of the 6 hits in those 2 games, I believe 4/6 of those hits were extra base hits.

The Brewers have been playing excellent, and all the players have been performing, except Hall.

Nice to see the Brewers hitting their stride. I think PackBrew is right about 4 of Kaplers 6 hits in the home stand being extras. Also Kapler got robbed of another hit. Gabe Kapler is making a huge bid to be comeback player of the year.
Just an all around impressive homestand. Just one last random thought..I still am concerned about 3rd base..Russell Branyan is a relatively streaky hitter and I'm interested to see what happens when he does cool down a little bit.

badgerfan...another concern there is that Bill Hall is doing horrible against righties. It is going to be tough when Branyan cools down.

Brewers are one of theose teams that always look like they might be able to do it. It all comes down to pitching. Do they have enough?
