Bushed trying to figure out Bush

Dave Bush continues to baffle fantasy owners with confounding inconsistency. Tonight the good Bush showed up in Atlanta for his second straight dominant outing. Bush worked seven innings giving up four hits and one run.

Milwaukee wins, 4-1. Jeff Francouer was a bright spot of sorts for the Braves, going 2-4 with his new contacts. He came in hitting just .243.

Fantasy Impact: It was Francouer's first multi-hit game since June 16. For a guy that hit .293 last year, that's saying something. Bush looks to have the makeup to be a special major leaguer, but he can't put it together. In his last two starts Bush gave up two earned runs in 15 innings. In his two previous starts he gave up eight in 10. He's a risky start because you never know which Bush you're going to get, and he seems to fail a time or two more than he succeeds.
