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!

Not an official line up...
But I'm guessing
Weeks 2B
Kapler CF
Fielder 1B
Braun LF
Hall 3B
Hart RF
Hardy SS
Sheets P
Kendall G

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 0 recs
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.

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

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 0 recs
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.

Anyone else see that the front page of the Brewers website says "Ben Sheets has been close to flawless early in the 2008 season, but he'll have to continue that success as he faces off with brand new Mets ace Pedro Martinez."

I noticed that too, I didn't know Pedro was an ace again!
by zsattler on Apr 12, 2008 1:20 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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

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).

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.

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 0 recs
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.

It looks like a mistake because of the homerun, but Sheets can handle going deep and if I were managing I would avoid our bullpen when ever possible.
