Game Thread #11: Brewers (6-4) at Mets (5-4)

Hello future!

Today I'm testing out a feature of the new blog: the option to write posts and then have them appear on the site at a future time.  So regardless of what the time stamp says, it's about 7:30 AM.  Unfortunately, that means I have to run the project-a-tron without the actual lineups, but hey, managers are predictable guys.

The matchup this afternoon is, of course, Ben Sheets and Johan Santana.  Wow.  I opted out of last night's game because I thought the rain would make it miserable, but I'm not making the same mistake again today.  Game time is 12:10 CT.

I tweaked the project-a-tron to take platoon splits into account...sort of.  Since platoon splits are (usually) about the same from player to player, that's how I'm treating them.  (Plus, it saves me untold amounts of time.)  Even though the Brewers have the platoon edge against Santana, Santana has the I'm-better-than-everybody edge on the Brewers.  Sheets is pretty good too, so it looks like it could be a close one:

Brewers 3.7

Mets 3.8

Brewers WinExp: 45%

Go Brewers!

standard rotation of umpires

Is there one? Cuzzi was at first last night, I sure hope he doesn't go behind the plate this series... or ever for the Brewers.

by ol Pete on Apr 12, 2008 11:53 AM CDT reply actions  

It is Cuzzi.

I wonder if MLB monitors umpire grumbling-chatter at all? They must realize that perception is reality on umpires, and if fans see a guy coming and groan, that affects perception of the quality of the game.

You're right

I thought it was astute to show Luis Castillo though when talking about the Santana trade, since Castillo was also traded between those teams. BA and Rock didn't pick up on it though.

He's extremely quick and good.

Weeks

Of course, the day I finally bench Weeks for Jeff Kent, he singles and steals a base.

He's extremely quick and good.

take righteous consolation

Right.

Or the fact that if Reyes was playing today he would have made the play and Rickie would have been out on a ground ball.

The Rock

on Sheets: 'You gotta wonder how much the 109 pitches that he threw in the complete game are going to affect him.'

If he threw less than 100, say 98, would it be mentioned?

by sheeter on Apr 12, 2008 12:35 PM CDT reply actions  

No Kidding!

Throwing 109 pitches for a *healthy* Ben Sheets is not going to affect him in his next start 5 days later. Even if it is early in the season.

BREWERS 5TH: Grieve grounded out (second to first); Helms

Counsell hit a sacrifice fly to left [Helms scored]; Sheets
singled to right [Moeller scored]; Podsednik forced Sheets

Did you know Sheets has had two hits a game five different times?

He's extremely quick and good.

Moeller, Helms, and Sheets all get hits in the same inning. AND Counsell with an RBI. Thats rare.

So many errors

1) Pedro isn't pitching
2) Pedro isn't the Mets' ace
3) Even if he was, he isn't brand new to the team, or brand new as an ace, or brand new in any sense of the phrase.

He's extremely quick and good.

Off topic I know

But with Sheets and Santana ie the team aces pitching I thought it is a good time to ask.
How much trouble are the Astros in if Oswalt continues pitching as badly as he is?
0-3 with an 9.00ERA
16inns allowing 30hits incl 5HR's - four by the Marlins last night

by Saltire on Apr 12, 2008 1:59 PM CDT reply actions  

Worrying about Oswalt's slow start

and saying that it's too much of a concern is like saying Kapler and Kendall's hot starts are sustainable. Oswalt will return to form (unless he's hurt).

He sure is dealing right now, but his pitch count is at 100. I could see 1 more inning from him, unless he gets some quick outs I don't think he is going to go the distance.

by MadJimiBrewha on Apr 12, 2008 2:19 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'm just so hesitant to give him big money with his injury history (as if I'm gonna be writing the check)

by verno329 on Apr 12, 2008 2:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

Injury history

This is mildly overblown in that they've all been non-arm injuries, and none have been recurrent. Ear, back, finger, etc. Not shoulder, elbow, etc.

by Lake County on Apr 12, 2008 2:22 PM CDT up reply actions  

He's definitely had some shoulder problems.

Tendinitis is still a shoulder problem. Remember how he kept talking about how it just didn't feel right?

He's extremely quick and good.

by battlekow on Apr 12, 2008 6:57 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'm in the same boat

I think he will get that somewhere though, if he can make it a full year this year. The thing with his injury history is that it's not really arm related and seems to be more along the bad luck string.

"He's been very, very impressive," Yost said. "I mean really impressive. I mean really, really impressive."

by MadJimiBrewha on Apr 12, 2008 2:23 PM CDT up reply actions  

I hope that we don't go beyond 5 years

But I would be surprise if we go for as much as $90mill. I think at around 75-80mill. would be max.
I suppose it depends if we can lock-up any of the young guys first.

by Saltire on Apr 12, 2008 2:23 PM CDT reply actions  

If anything over 5

it would probably be in team options I would hope.

Gagne

Won't blow this one. Would you want to be the pitcher that has to explain that to Sheets.

of course

Sheets would probably injure himself beating up Gagne.

It does seem like a long time

I thought we were trapped in August 2007 again

Yay

A win! Doesn't excuse the horrid umping (for both teams).

Did anyone know

That the former attorney general, Alberto Gonzalez, is Jeter's injury replacement for the Yankees? Just saw that.

Sheets

Would like you to consider voting for him for the Cy Young.

Nice win

Celebrate safely tonight gentlemen. Take it easy on the frosty mugs and if you meet that special someone be sure to use the Badger Mutual Insurance condom.

You did not just say

a Badger Mutual Insurance condom

Benny better not pull a hamstring getting on the bus tonight.

Additionally

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
