| Player Notes |
| October 18, 2008 Carlos Villanueva scored a game-high 26 points in the Bucks 109-108 defeat at the hands of the Warriors. Michael Redd added 23 points and Richard Jefferson has 13 and seven assists. |
| August 31, 2008 Brewers reliever Carlos Villanueva is upset with Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols, who did not appreciate it when Villanueva apparently made some gestures towards the Cardinals dugout and let Villanueva know it, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "I think sometimes he thinks hes bigger than the game. Hes not. ... I used to have a lot of respect for Pujols. Now, Ive lost some of that respect. I dont know why he would say those things about me. Theyre not true. I have respect for the game," Villanueva said. |
| June 1, 2008 Carlos Villanueva is currently working as a reliever, but he still envisions himself as a starter in the long run. So do the Brewers. "(Manager Ned Yost) said he still sees me as a starter (at some point)," Villanueva informs the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. The 24-year-old right-hander posted a 6.43 ERA over nine starts before being moved to the bullpen. |
| May 26, 2008 Carlos Villanueva threw two scoreless innings, striking out five of the six hitters he faced, and the Milwaukee Brewers survived extra innings to defeat the Washington Nationals 4-3 on Monday afternoon. |
| May 18, 2008 Carlos Villanueva was hit hard yet again as the Red Sox piled up six runs, five earned, in four innings. Carlos fell to 2-5. |
| May 8, 2008 Carlos Villanueva lasted five innings on Thursday night, but it was a brutal five innings as he issued two walks, allowed 10 hits and was beaten for seven runs to fall to 1-4 on the year. |
| May 2, 2008 Carlos Villanueva retired the first 11 batters in Friday night's game against Houston, but suffered his third loss of the season in a 7-4 defeat at the hands of the Astros. The Brewers' right-hander allowed six runs on nine hits, walked none and struck out four in five innings of work. |
| April 26, 2008 Carlos Villanueva got a no-decision despite allowing only two runs on six hits in six innings for the Brewers vs. Florida. He didnt allow any walks and struck out five. |
| April 21, 2008 Carlos Villanueva hurled a strong seven inning on Monday night as he allowed just two runs to the Cardinals in a no decision. Carlos allowed just three hits but four walks on the night. |
| April 16, 2008 Carlos Villanueva had problems on the night as he allowed eight hits and two BB in just 4.2 innings in his second loss of the year. |
| April 10, 2008 Carlos Villanueva was dealt his first loss of the season on Thursday, as he surrendered four runs on seven hits over six innings against Cincinnati, with three walks and four strikeouts. Villanueva is believed to be a candidate to be sent down when Yovani Gallardo returns to the rotation, and this was not a good day for him in his bid to keep his job. |
| March 26, 2008 Carlos Villanueva will open the season as the fourth starter in the Brewers rotation, but he is a candidate to be sent down when Yovani Gallardo returns. "We have another tough decision to make in two weeks, once the season starts," manager Ned Yost tells the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "We're going to have to see who's pitching good during that period, then make another decision." Villanueva will pitch the home opener on April 4 against the Giants. He is worth a roster spot in NL-only and keeper leagues, and mixed league owners many want to give him a shot against the weak Giants lineup. |
| March 16, 2008 Carlos Villanueva a will continue his bid for a spot in the Brewers' starting rotation on Monday, the final split-squad date this spring for Milwaukee, according to MLB.com. The team has both Villanueva and fellow starting candidate Chris Capuano scheduled to pitch five innings with approximately 80 pitches in one of the final opportunities they will have to voice their worth for the job. Villanueva will face the White Sox with Capuano facing Mariners. This could be a big moment for both pitchers, so check back in to see how it goes. |
| March 2, 2008 Carlos Villanueva tossed two scoreless innings Sunday, allowing one hit while striking out one. Villanueva is trying to win a spot in the Brewers rotation this spring and could be a nice sleeper if he comes away with a starting job. |
| February 22, 2008 It remains unclear whether Carlos Villanueva will earn a spot in the rotation, work from the bullpen, or head to the minors when camp breaks, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "I'm watching. I look for the smoke to clear and see where everybody ends up," manager Ned Yost said Thursday. "When it's done, it's going to be pretty clear. Then, you make your decision." He'll be prepped this spring as a starter, but he'll have to earn a spot in the rotation or bullpen with a quality spring performance. |
