Cain steals 3rd.. this guy is going to be an exciting player and a nightmare for awile
Brew Crew scores!! 1-0.
1-0 on Kattaras infield single!
Now get the bunt down!
Wolf grounds into dp.. 1-0 Brew Crew mid 5..
I think the struggled lately thing has been overblown. He has had two bad starts, but before that had 3 solid starts. One so-so start even before that which was preceeded by some dominant starts.
I really think the "Lincecum is struggling" thing is being overblown. He had a 3.02 ERA for the month of July and has made just 3 starts this month.
He's done this several times in his career. He'll have a few bad starts and come back and dominate. I'd rather face Cain than Lincecum on the off-chance that dominant Tim shows up.

Craig singles..
Yadi pops up.. 1 down
Miles walks.. 1st and 2nd
according to ESPN gamecast every single ball in that at bat was as strike.
Hey Sparky! Indian Hill English teachers taught me everything I know!
Wainwright strikes out on a foul bunt.. 2 down
His K-rate is down, his walks are up, his HR-rate is doubled.
That ERA in June should likley have been higher based on his rates.
He's not the same guy. He doesn't throw nearly as hard as he used to.
Though he is still good, there is every reason to be concerned.
Guys hitting 7th and 8th don't get a lot to hit, and they don't get a chance to run much when they do get on base. Look at Drew Stubbs, who has only stolen a handful of bases since being moved to the 7th spot. On top of all that, the Brewers don't seem to like to run a lot with anybody, preferring to wait for Fielder, Braund and Hart to walk around the bases.
