Brewers (8) vs. Rockies (3) 7/8 -- Tastes Great, Less Filling

Tastes Great:

CC Sabathia--Didn't pitch great, but showed why he's a great pitcher.  I wish he would have challenged guys a little more instead of walking them, but I think there will be a period of adjustment between him and Kendall to figure each other out.

Ryan Braun--Hit his first home run in quite some time.  It put the Brewers out to a nice 3-0 lead and took some pressure off CC.

Bill Hall--Nice to see him appearing in the Tastes Great column a few times recently.  His two out single scored two and gave us some breathing room.

Less Filling:

Jason Kendall--I hate to be hard on him, but he went 0 for 4 at the plate.  And I'm not sure if CC was shaking him off or what happened, but they just didn't seem in sync yet.  Too many off-speed pitches behind in the count.  Again, I'm going to chalk this one up to unfamiliarity and am sure they'll do better next time.
