Game Thread #1: Brewers (0-0) at Cubs (0-0)
This Opening Day thing is confusing. Opening Day was last week, then it was last night, now it's today, but it might not be today because of weather.
Anyway, this is probably just a formality--consider this your thread for wishing there were a game, or for disparaging remarks in general about Chicago, the Cubs, Miller Park South, and the people who did scheduling for MLB this year.
Somethingvague posted the lineups here. Never has a player done so little to earn a higher spot in the lineup than Ben Sheets!
The game is supposed to be at 1:20, so if we're lucky, we'll have nine innings in by about 4:30 tomorrow afternoon.
Go Brewers!

It's raining
Here in Chicago it is raining, atleast downtowm... but it is not too hard yet... maybe the lighter rain will allow the game to start. If the field is in good shape, I am optimistic they could get the game started.
Of course knowing they have tomorrow off, they might call it simply on the speculation of more rain coming.

Cynical prediction
They'll start the game, play two innings, call the tarp out, wait a while, and then postpone the game.

Radar
Looks like it'll clear up in an hour or two but Missouri has a nice storm moving towards Chicago. Maybe it's better this way. We don't want ol' Ben Prior falling off the mound and tearing his hamstring from the bone or something....

Rain delay material...
Yesterday I was channelsurfing while my son was sitting/napping/throwing up on my lap, and noticed that WGN was killing off a Sunday afternoon by showing a couple of decent-but-not-great baseball movies. At commercial breaks, various baseball folks (usually Cubs-related, naturally) provided commentary, including our very own Bob Uecker.
The funny part (I actually laughed out loud) was that when Uecker's cap came into full view of the camera, the logo was blurred out. It was obvious that he was wearing a Brewers cap, but they didn't want to show it on WGN!
(Yes, I realize there's probably a legal reason for WGN blurring a Brewers logo on their station during a non-MLB broadcast, but I found it funny anyway.)
It's called "playing the percentages."

he better swing. I don't think he'll see more than one per at bat.

good point
(it took me a while to figure out what you meant, though)
gives me an idea, to do a study of walk rates for guys who sometimes bat in front of the pitcher. Counsell is a good example--he seems to rack up a lot more walks batting in front of the P than he does in the 2-hole. Could also look at the difference in strikes seen, as you point out.
It would be interesting to know how much to discount the walk rate (not just intentional ones) of #8 hitters.

Hardy's walk rate
I know that when Hardy first came up, I thought he had fair patience because he took a good amount of walks. It turns out that his "plate discipline" was really just a combination of him hitting scared (his shoulder) and in front of the pitcher.
He's extremely quick and good.

I'm not sure exactly how they are combined...
but it isn't directly to undo a flag. If it's a good comment, (Rec)ommend it. I think comments that have been recommended a few times get highlighted somehow. You can also recommend stories and fanposts ... if enough people (4, I think) recommend a fanpost, it gets bumped up to the "recommended" fanposts section above the rest of the fanposts.
(yes, it's complicated. i think it'll make sense when everybody is using more of the features, though.)
and I don't think anything you could do would break anything ... at least that's what I'm assuming and I'm acting accordingly :).

Why do you try to sneak another inning out of Sheets after 92 pitches and two rain delays totaling 90 minutes on a rainy 44 degree day when your entire bullpen is fresh and you have an off-day tomorrow on opening day?
Yost is apparently worried by the arrival of Dusty, and needs to take his game to another level.

Oh God!

Don't try to do too much with it. Just take the ball the other way.
