Game Thread #164: Brewers (0-1) at Phillies (1-0)

Cowswithguns_tiny by battlekow on in Game Threads Comment 665 comments

Milwaukee Brewers @ Philadelphia Phillies


Today's game is the equivalent of a 1-1 pitch, a real tipping point. Lose and the Brewers' backs are against the wall, needing to win out to advance. Win and they're looking at only needing to win two of three with two home games coming up.


Did I mention who's starting?

The lineup:

  1. CF Mike Cameron
  2. 2B Ray Durham
  3. LF Ryan Braun
  4. 1B Prince Fielder
  5. SS JJ Hardy
  6. RF Corey Hart
  7. 3B Craig Counsell
  8. C Jason Kendall
  9. P CC Sabathia
The Phillies will counter with Brett Myers, who's been a little inconsistent this year.
Perhaps now, with his team ahead in the series, Myers can take a deep breath and channel his inner-Dr. Jekyll?
His wife sure hopes so.


Go Brewers!

CC is coming he is going to rescue us

He will smite our enemies and bring us a victory ;)

With apologies to Louis Tully from Ghost Busters

He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Sabathia! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of Sabathia that day, I can tell you!

Either way... the media will not be on our side after this game

They will say if the Brewers win “They can only win if CC is on the mound, and he can only pitch twice this series. The only way they win the series is if they throw him out every night”

If they lose, they will say “CC playoff struggles because the Brewers pushed him too hard down the stretch and it finally caught up to them” I dont buy either.

Fact is the Phillies are a better team than most of the lineups CC has faced the second half. But I don’t care what the media says, a win is a win… and if they have the series tied coming back home… I am going to be VERY excited.

When you are trying to soak up everything that is being put out relating to the Brewers for this once in a lifetime experience

You read everything and watch Sportscenter and Baseball Tonight and post game shows and listening to radio and scour the internet for all stories relating to the Brewers….

You are right, opnions though I don’t listen to, but I am going to pay attention… paying attention shows you care.

Has Sveum ever explained why Corey's playing?

Seriously, I’m curious. Has any reporter ever asked him? I can’t remember a player having a longer, worse stretch in as many key situations as Hart without being benched.

Batting order

Okay, it’s rough starting Corey Hart, but why bat him 6th? Sabathia has just as much power. I know it’s crazy, but why not move CC to 6th and follow with Hart, Counsel, Kendall?
As much as Hart stinks at the plate, he still covers the outfield like a gazelle.
